It never ceases to amaze me just how many new infomercials about exercise equipment, videos and weight loss gadgets hit the airways every day.  I've spend many sleepless nights watching these exercise infomercials in attempts to bore myself to sleep.  I remember the days when jump ropes, free weights and good old cardio workouts were the best options for exercising and losing weight.  Those days are long gone now , If you aren't buying the next hottest product on the market your a nobody.  Remember the thigh master.  I think everyone had one of those at some point in time.  Now the thigh master might not have done a thing to help you get in shape or lose weight but it definately was a huge marketing success.  If memory serves me right the thigh master was on of the first highly promoted pieces of excercise equipment to utilize large scale tv advertising.   I hope to take this blog and examine and review all the latest exercise equipment gadgets and weight loss products that hit the airways.  I find it facinating the amount of creativity the designers and advertisers of these items use to come up with some of this junk. Perhaps in my reviews I'll find the real answer to 5 min abs.
