Crazy Fat Fit Massage

The latest grating infomercial making the rounds is for a product called, get this: Crazy Fit Massage.

The commercial is dubbed in Cantonese (and poorly at that) and shows Caucasians melting away their fat by standing on a vibrating platform. The studio shots are intercut with footage of the average pedestrian in some mainland Chinese city raving (dubbed again) about how great it feels.

If you enjoy watching the rapid jiggling of buttocks, then this ad is for you.

They forgot one: the damage to joint is equal to jog for one week.

You can shape your body easily,and the design is very Humanization,you can freely adjust the libration speed from 1 grade to 20 grade,you can choose the suitable frequency according to your needs.

Humanization? They're not selling an exercise machine, they're selling an android.

Because it's difficult to keep food down when your stomach is bopping off your ribs.

And it can also reform the unskillful movement of legs caused by rheumatism as well as without walking for long time for the elders.

There is some evidence that low speeds can help offset osteoporosis by increasing bone density, but that won't matter much to Grandma if she loses her balance and takes a header. Ask any elderly person: a broken hip is no laughing matter.

The exercise is to help you remove the fat rather than to making you on diet and diarrhoea,so it won"t be rebound,

So, according to them, dieting causes the runs? What do they think will happen when a person's intestines feel like they've been run through a blender?

further more,you just need to exercise for 5-10 minutes every day,the calories consumption is equal to jog for one hour,just 5 minutes--you must be ok to you,right?
