I saw it advertised on Howard Stern the other night. It is suppose to hook up to your body and recreate the same stimuli in your brain as is there when you lift weights and work out. So…you get to workout without working out!!
HAHAHAHA
Sorry,
It works like this, you attach these electrode thingies to your chest and waist, ( or to your nipples I suppose if you are turned that way) and just plug the unit into an electrical outlet, turn it on and wala’ if you are not instantly electrocuted, you are doing a full burner workout!
And it is portable too so you can take it with you to the office and piss off your boss or to your favorite Dunkin Doughnut shop.
And the clincher is…easily affordable with payments starting at $49.95. Starting?? lol They don’t even bother to tell you the full price.
It’s the dumbing of the whole world folks…I tell ya.
Oops can they sue me for this? heh heh sorry the opinions above are expressly my own and are not those of the SDMB… the toner is really a breakthrough device in health and I was only kidding.
Ok, I’m getting ready. But it’s Cristi that jumps out of the cake. How did you join two months after me and have twice the number of posts? I must be a slacker.
over 10 years ago a highschool friend of mine had a gizmo that sounds like the same type of thing. I tried it… it felt like electricity contracting my muscles… not real pleasent. He paid about $400 for it then (late 80’s).
I saw a special on MSNBC about these devices. The program showed that the electrode devices only contract the muscle about 4% of complete contraction. For a muscle to gain strength, it must be contracted to 80% of full power. These devices are such a crock of crap it is unbelievable.
Of course it is…why did I get out of bed this morning? (For some reason, though, I was under the impression it had been bastardized to “suzaphone” over the years.) Yes, I assume “bastardized” is misspelled too, lol.
Sorry aha, I missed your 900th post. I was busy trying to rewire my husband’s speaker cabinet through my daughter’s Tickle Me Cookie Monster, in a vain attempt to try & create one of those fat-burning devices myself.
It’s not working. I think it’s because the speaker cabinet is a Peavey, and you just can’t hook anything up to this damn thing without it crapping out on ya.
Anyway, I’ll do the cake thing for your 1000th post, 'mkay?
