Actually I think that's probabyl one of the better fitness inventions if you think about it.  Jumping rope is awesome conditioning.  Half the time you never have the space to do the real thing.  And it really doesn't make a damn bit of difference whether or not the rope actually goes under your feet.  It's the swinging of your arms, the jumping up and down the really is the core of the exercise.  Bravo!  The inventor probably made a killing from it.

This thing by far takes the cake. $14,000 for this puppy. Its always advertised in Airline magazines you find in the back pockets of the seats.

For 14K they'd better send a team of thick Latinas to assemble the thing, then take turns seeing who can get me off the quickest.

This was a gimmick at the time but times have changed.  I sell the V988 Ultra Gyro Belt Machine.   I only sold 4 of them last year but they really liked the machine.
