NOW I’VE SEEN EVERYTHING…

While sitting in my hotel room in South Beach, Florida the other day (yep, thought I’d rub it in!), I’ve seen the future of workout equipment!

Well at least that’s what the ad on ESPN promised. Somehow I’m not convinced.

The “Perfect Push Up” is touted as the perfect way to blast away your abdominal fat (exactly how a push up alone does that has me scratching my head), and increase the size of your chest, shoulders and arms.

I am supposed to be impressed because it has been designed by a Navy Seal.

All it seems is a recipe for a hole on your wallet and a recipe for a wrist injury after it from the stress it places on them.

The “perfect push up” is done on a set of elevated bars that swivel, as you go down into the push up, and turn your elbows in so you finish doing a triceps push up.

The other major concern is that while this machine is tailor made for the guys who love to train their mirror muscles – the muscles that you can admire in the mirror (chest, shoulders, arms), it forgets to address the issue that the majority of people , especially guys, are all chest dominant and have weak back muscles.

Most people don’t like to train the muscles they can’t see. So, this is only going to lead to further postural problems when the back gets constantly neglected.

All this for only 2 payments of $19.95 + shipping and handling. Wow! It almost had me reaching for the phone!

So stay tuned for this will soon be on our shores and you’ll be bombarded with it when you’re working out while watching Channel V or The Morning Show.

It will soon be joining the space under the bed next to the ab roller, the ab swing, the thigh blaster and anything else that people have been sucked into buying.

At least it doesn’t take up much room.

Don’t say you haven’t been warned!
