I flew out yesterday to Yonkers, NY to help the TODAY show go through the Fitness Equipment which was rated for the claims made on informercials by Consumer Reports. They chose a variety of pieces that can be viewed on line at Consumer Reports. I had to read the instructions, watch any pertinent videos and then teach Jenna Wolfe how to use the pieces correctly and give my opinion too.
It was a long 3 hour shoot that will be crammed into a 5 minute segment that airs next week on the TODAY SHOW Feb. 5th. The pieces we reviewed were the Perfect Pushup, Roc and Go Exerciser, Tony Little's Rock and Roll, Cardio Twister, and Iron Grip Pull up. They also tested the Ab Rocket, Red Exerciser DX, Bowflex Treadclimber ( which rated as well as a stair climber!), Fluidity bar and several small gym items for under $100. Be informed and be creative... as I always say if it gets you to move safely, it can't be that bad! BTW loved the Iron Grip Pull up Bar and YES you can get an intermediate to advanced workout with Tony Little's Rock and Roll Stepper.
