For all the avid followers of my relationship with the gym it’s still going strong & I’m just about to cross the threshold where I normally give up & I’m still pretty motivated. When I’m at the gym I mainly use two machines and I think that I work just as hard on both machines however on one of them it tells me that I burn 20% more calories in the same amount of time.
It’s called the Treadclimber & is a pretty strange combination of walking/running/stepping on paddle things that move up & down with each step. Now there is usually a queue to use this machine and it’s obvious why. Everyone is so concentrated on the number of calories that they are burning & this machine seems to give the maximum return for less effort than other machines. Now this is a completely ridiculous way to think as it’s just a number ticking around but it definitely appeals to most people.
This got me thinking. I’m going to bring out a new cardio-vascular gym product that’s really easy to do. All I have to do is make the calories figure tick twice as fast as every other machine & it will be a best seller & the millions will roll in. There’s probably a few laws to get around with misleading consumers but you heard it here first!
Thoughts?
