    Why is it that with these two exercise devices & others, it is always the lean 30's something people that use them in commercials? Why not have overweight people exercise on them & report their progress.
    Makes sense to me!

    They are not strong enough to hold the weight.

    Because if their “models” looked like me (and I’m not alone in this), they’d never sell another one. Marketing uses people who look like they’ve never needed to diet or exercise to target people who hardly ever diet or exercise,

    Anorexic chicks selling diet crap irks me. "I lost 12 lbs without strenuous diets or exercises". Thats not even a notch on the belt! For her 20 lbs would have on the hoses at the hospital. "Inzees and outies".
    Its all part of the big picture of evolution. After the coronavirus kills of 90% of the earths population, us fat people will flourish living off our reserves. Mark my words. Ill be laughing all the way to the chocolate bars at Menards!

    Your size and weight is all determined by what and how much you eat, and exercise.

    We have several friends who are vegan (we aren't) and I've met others who are vegan as well. One thing I have noticed is that there is no such thing as a "fat vegan" and they eat good.

    I love how they show them smiling during the workout. I've tried it (smiling while working out). Not easy to do. Closest I was able to come was a grimace.

    No Peloton or Bowflex for me. I'll stick with the old gym membership. It's a good place to relieve stress after a day of work and there is nothing like slamming some weights around to make me smile. The only thing that sucks is the sheer volume of ppl there around the time I go. Someday I'll get a PRX system for my house, a garage gym has always been a dream of mine.

    Actually they should also advertise features that would indicate how well they serve as a clothes dryer hanger when not in use.

    I just don't understand the desire to pay $58 a month to have some uber healthy person yell at me to try harder. F you, quit yelling at me.

    I've never seen a skinny elephant... But I will DEFINITELY agree on the THICK Ribeye. Personally, I'm a second generation Vegan. Cattle eat grass; I eat cattle. And Pork, And Lamb, And Sausage. Reminds me, I need to to to Rioz Brazillian Steakhouse. SOON!!!

    They say that smiling take more muscles than not. Don't care to find out...
