Most Ridiculous Infomercial Claim Yet

I just saw this on TV.

Another exercise device by a well known TV exercise guru that is basically a flexible bike/chair where you push or pull some increment of your body weight. Mind you it is not a cardio device but more focused on muscle toning. The Claim - Lose 20% body fat in 30 days or your money back! (Yes that's 20% body fat not 20 pounds of fat.)

Tell me that they're not betting you don't bother sending the thing back and that they will get to keep your money. (sorry for the double-negative there, grammar police)

Do the math. If you are 200 pounds and 35% body fat (70 pounds of fat) you would have to burn 245,00 calories or 8,167 calories each day for 30 days. Of course this assumes that you can burn nothing but fat which science says is not possible.

Now lets look at the exercise. A good standard number is that you can burn about 100 calories every ten minutes jogging at a decent pace. So you would only need to jog for 817 minutes or 13 hours, 37 minutes to burn these calories. Now you ask, how long do I have to work out on this miracle device to achieve this body fat loss? 21 minutes per day. This would mean by pushing around your own body weight you can burn an amazing 389 calories per minute.

Bottom line, if you eat fewer calories than you take in you lose weight. Everything else is just marketing. If you want to lose weight in your wallet faster than ever buy another informerical short-cut device.
