Natural Stress Relief? Yes! Lifestyle in a Box? Not Quite.
Read the performance claims critically. Be
leery of those that say the equipment or device
can:
- provide easy or effortless results or burn
excessive calories. The claims may be true
for athletes in top physical condition, but
not for most people.
- help you burn more calories or lose weight
faster than other types of equipment. In
general, exercise equipment that works the
whole body or major parts of it probably
helps you burn more calories than devices
that work one part of the body. And, the
more you use the equipment, the more
calories you'll burn. That's a good reason
to select equipment that suits you and your
lifestyle. A study might show that one type
of equipment burns more calories per hour
than another type. But if the exercise is
uncomfortable, or the equipment hard to
use, chances are it will gather dust, not
help you burn calories.
- help you "spot" reduce; for example, help
you trim your hips or lose the proverbial
"spare tire." Toning and losing weight in
one particular area of the body require
regular exercise that works the whole body.
Your weight depends on the number of
calories you eat and use each day; increasing
your physical activity helps you burn
extra calories.
Always read the fine print. The advertised
results may be based on more than just the use
of the machine; they also may be based on
restricting calories. The fine print may explain
this. Even if it doesn't, keep in mind that diet
and exercise together are much more effective
for achieving a healthy, toned body than either
tactic is alone.
Be skeptical of testimonials or before-and-after
pictures from "satisfied" customers. Their
experiences may not be typical: Just because
one person had success with the equipment
doesn't mean you will, too. As for those popular
celebrity endorsements, they, too, are no
proof that the equipment will work as claimed.
