We as a society are constantly looking for that quick fix. What’s going to be the easiest and least time consuming activity we can do to get our dream body?
According to a study done by the FDA, Americans spend more than $30 billion on dietary supplements each year.
We are willing to try every gadget and gizmo there is that promises us that get-skinny-quick body.
Here are the worst fitness trends of all time that somehow always convinced us it was our answer to working out.
1. The Shake Weight
This first fitness fad needs no introduction. While this trend may have given us all a good laugh, the creators were laughing all the way to the bank when this puppy made $40 million in sales.
2. Sauna Suits
While these guys may just look like giant trash bag suits, they were designed to make people sweat out their excess weight. Too bad there’s nothing safe about them whatsoever.
Also don't worry, you and your partner can get matching one's to hit up the bars with.
3. Vibro-Belt
No science has gone into the making of this vibrating belt. However, that didn’t stop it from sweeping the infomercial scene.
4. Thighmaster
Why wouldn’t you want thighs that could crack a walnut?
5. Sketcher Shape-Ups
Remember when Kim Kardashian “approved” these toning shoes that helped you burn more calories and tone your legs more?
6. Waist Trainers
Another Kardashian-approved body shaper. Remember, it’s a Kardashian world. We’re just living in it.
