Infomercial Fitness Machines Put to The Test

April 25, 2008 — -- Do you ever wonder whether those exercise machines that you see on infomercials really work?

They promise to help you lose weight, tighten your abs and trim your waistline, but how can you be sure?

"Good Morning America" technology contributor Becky Worley put some of those machines to the test.

Here's what Becky found:

*"GMA" contacted the makers of Leg Magic for a response, and they recommended that each user watch the included video in order to get instructions for each different type of fitness level.

*Again, "GMA" contacted the makers of the Hawaii Chair. They maintain that with proper posture, the chair will elevate your heart rate and help sculpt muscles. They also recommend using the lowest setting in an office setting.
