Hit or Miss – Which “As Seen on TV” Exercise Equipment Actually Works
by Ainuddin Mohamad

It truly is a gamble on which exercise products that are seen on TV late at night, or on Sunday afternoons, really work. There are a lot of products being advertised on TV for reputable companies, but they usually pay for an independent commercial of their own, like Nordic Track, among others. However, that doesn’t mean its all junk as seen on TV, but you need to use a little caution when ordering. Some second rate whole sale junk is peddled, so you need to know the basics about how to order, so you won’t get junk delivered to your house.

Wholesale second-rate products are advertised on TV, and it’s hard to know what you should order, if you want to get back in shape. If some Hollywood stars advertise on the square box, then it must be a great product, right? Well, it could be, but when you’re searching for quality, look for products that have a long-standing tradition because it does indicate longevity. A company can’t stay in business very long, if a long list of complaints is lodged against them.

Another problem with as seen on TV exercise products is that you might go through the ringer in trying to get your money back on certain items. Work out tapes and CDs are fraught with complications because the damage could have happened in route to your house. Just like certain discount stores, if you open them, then it’s your problem. At least though with a discount store, you do have the option for exchanging it for a similar CD, or at least another one. You might need to check out the fact that even though there are a lot of good products there, you can often find the same products at a website, or with a local store, or dealer in town.

Sometimes exercise products might not do what they imply they will do too. Inference is a bad thing to apply to exercise equipment. For example, one mini trampoline might not have the construction elements to hold you if you’re a certain weight. You could risk certain injury if you go on the idea that all trampolines are the same. Broken bones, or using the product where it’s not recommended, could even lead to a fatality. Read the fine print, and if there isn’t any, don’t buy it. Pick up the phone and call the Better Business Bureau if you think you should, and look for complaints on their website too. Most of all warn others not to buy it, and if they have to not use it, and lodge a complaint.

It’s easy to get caught in the world of television, and the great selling points of products. When you’re trying to get into shape always know your fitness goals. If you don’t have an idea about it, then don’t buy the products. It won’t do you any good anyway, if you don’t know what you need to work on. Another tactic used is to promote one machine that will tone one area of your body, and then imply that the rest of your body will firm up because you’re using a certain machine. There is only one way to get a total body-shaping figure, and that is to use a healthy dietary regime, and a total body workout.

The best approach to buying exercise machines is to go out and give it a whirl in a store. Wear the clothing that you’ll exercise in, and ask questions to the sales person. Ask if the product your interested in comes with the option to upgrade in the future. Also, look at the warranty, and if you can buy upgrades to it, if you can afford it. As far as space goes for your exercise equipment, be a little wary. Remember, that just like on the TV, a piece of exercise equipment will appear smaller than it actually is, so know the size of space you can put it in.

Finally, remember that if you see an exercise product on the ole TV, and it promotes wonderful results in a short period of time, know that it’s a false claim. Getting your body out of shape took a while, and it’ll take a while yet, to get it back into a healthy body that you can be proud of.
