Likely the freakiest pieces of equipment for producing a nice workout has to be the portable mini exercise bike.  This machine seems like one of those weird compact torture gimmicks you see in a   flick way back when that people ordered with the best of intentions of getting some unbelievable abdominal s, but then ended up leaving it behind their surf board in the hall closet.  When I stumble upon these kinda things, it hearkens into nightmares I had so long ago of being stuck in a really satanic and zany TV sales pitch that just keeps looping.  I’m sure you’ve seen one of these products, that’s developed by the tawdriest labor the manufacturer can find, and guaranteed to turn you into a Olympic athlete in only 30 days.  What were the hombres hawking these things thinking?  Being the eternal optimist, I did a little looking around to get the real dirt on these gadgets.  It seems, these things can be ingenious things for the right person.  Or so, they would lead you to believe.
