Men’s Health has a great article on fitness fads. It’s a trip down memory lane for sure and some of them really work when actually used on a regular basis.
We think the best fad of all is the Vibrating Belt. No, they didn’t really work from a weigh-loss standpoint but the appeal of just standing in place and losing weight is pretty irresistible.
Not surprisingly, there are variations still out there and even some claims that the vibration can be beneficial for obese folks. That is not an endorsement. Just a head-scratcher.
So dig through the closet, pull out the fads you bought and get back to exercising!
