You're gonna have to stretch your imagination past the breaking point if you think you're going to be able to get in any kind of shape using this bizarre creation. It looks like a couple folding chairs were melded together in some kind of horrifying Frankenstein experiment.

Those exercises are just weird. I mean, maybe you could do some kind of ab workout by doing the chair-assisted crunches, except that they have you overextending and arching your back, which I can't imagine is good for you, although I'm no physical fitness expert. Plus, for that exercise, it says it's for the "Ankles, Arches, Calves and Arms." Really? Your arches? Who works out their arches? And by capitalizing them, do they think they'll sound more important? And what about the one sitting in the center and pushing on the ends of the chair? It says you should do that until you can do it for a full three minutes each day. And then the push-up pose? How awkward does that look?

I love in the intro how it claims that men can lose "a belt notch" in two weeks. And what about women? Um, maybe not so much. "Ladies, try the Slim Gym," it says. "See what it will do for you in just two weeks of relaxing exercise." Shouldn't they already know what it'll do? And shouldn't they say what that is if they're trying to use it as a selling technique? It might work better than just basically saying wait and see. Of course, it's also hilarious that the guy is wearing shorts and a tank top while the woman is wearing a fabulous hot pink ensemble with heels. Heels! Awesome.

And it might be a super-small picture, but poor Ken Waller looks terribly humiliated to be posing with this ridiculous contraption. He may have been Mr. USA from 1969-1970, but he's still got to make a buck! "I have worked with exercise equipment most of my life," he says. "I feel the SLIM GYM is the finest home exercise device for both men and women." Really? No, really?

Man, and people thought Wii Fit looked ridiculous!
