Why Would iGallop?


        

   Do you remember those old vibrating exercise belts of the 1950's and 1960's?  They are not back but...something even worse has arrived.

   Darting around the mall today, I spotted the most ridiculous piece of exercise equipment imaginable.  
   
   They call it the iGallop.  Naturally, I hopped right on to try it out (after wiping away my tears of laughter).  It rocks back and forth, just like a child's rocking horse.  Yes, that's it, that is your workout.  Just sit and swing your arms a bit...and you will lose weight???  Don't miss the Chinese ad, it's hilarious!  

   This device is on sale for $399, down from $599 (can not imagine why).       

   As I lost my excess weight 11 years ago I saved money at the grocery stores, ate out less frequently, and packed my own food and water everywhere I went.  My exercise equipment was borrowed, my sweat was real, and I sought my education the old fashioned way through reading, researching, and even some trial and error.  

   "Sorry OSIM," but my abdominals got more of a workout laughing at it than "working out" on it!  Oh, BTW, will someone please keep these guys away from the toy bin?

        People will pay for anything to instill laziness.  Aways seeking an alternative to physical movement.  Gee...if I get fat enough can I use a motorized buggy at Meijer's, too?
