Question

How do you rate the new Cardio Twister System workout equipment? Is it really good for the abs and obliques? Will I get cardio with a little muscle building too?

Answer

The Cardio Twister – yes I’ve seen the infomercial too (I’ve gotta start getting to bed earlier). Here’s the long version of a short answer to your question that I felt like writing -  that is until I got wrapped up in all the interesting facts about this machine and the woman (Brenda Dygraf) who is the spokesperson for it on TV…

Cardio Twister Claims

The claims listed below for the Cardio Twister were taken directly from the online video that can be found at the Cardio Twister website.

“The Cardio Twister is guaranteed to get you results faster than you ever dreamed possible or your money back.”

“Lose 10 inches in 10 days.”

“Burns fat, firms your entire body, and helps carve leaner, sexier abs all at the same time.”

“Dual drive gearbox automatically moves the handlebars for you.”

“The twisting motion repeatedly tightens over 20 core muscles including your abs and obliques.”

Who Is “International Fitness Expert” Brenda Dygraf?

I’ve never heard of “International Fitness Expert” Brenda Dygraf so I did some digging around online and here’s what I came up with:

• Marketed the Lateral Thigh Trainer (discontinued) – Wait a minute! Isn’t the Lateral Thigh Trainer just the first version of the Cardio Twister with a lackluster name and no handlebar? Why YES IT IS! Imagine that…
• Markets the “Air Climber” – Another product marketed by Tristar Products with an eerily similar website with nearly identical claims of weight loss and sexy abs development.
• Markets the “SuperCut Abs System with 6 workouts and 10-day Diet Plan”  (now on clearance) – An inflatable pouch that has the cursory 10 day diet plan and DVD.
• Marketed the “Top Ten Trainer” (Discontinued) – A machine designed to target 10 of the most common problem areas in under 30 minutes, whatever that means.
• Marketed the “Lifegear Walker” (discontinued) – The Lifegear walker was a not so great knock-off of the Gazelle Elliptical by Tony Little.

If you’re going to call yourself “International Fitness Expert” you might want to have some credentials to fall back on – just because you market fitness products, that doesn’t make you an expert.

If it does, then Harrison Ford is an “International Treasure Hunting Archeology Expert” because he played Indiana Jones in four movies.

Will the Cardio Twister Help You Get Ripped Abs and Obliques with Some Muscle Building and Cardio?

Uh, no. At least not by itself. That’s why they’ve included the “special diet” and smart eating plan to go along with the Cardio Twister. There isn’t a machine made for any price that can guarantee that you lose “10 Inches in 10 Days” without dropping your calories way down and shedding tons of water weight that will come right back.

It saddens me to see a never ending stream of pie in the sky fitness products like the Cardio Twister marketed by “International Fitness Experts” like Branda Dygraf, but people never seem to tire of shelling out money for them (including her other infomercials products listed above like the Air Climber, Super Cut Abs System, Top Ten Trainer and Lifegear Walker) so what do I know? Maybe I should come out with one too?

The sooner you realize that in order to get and stay in shape, you need to have a long term consistent course of action that includes:

• Cardio Training for heart health, weight loss and metabolism regulation (get my free Cardio Secrets Manual here)
• A sensible eating plan you can live with like Precision Nutrition
• Basic Strength Training with a home gym, body weight exercises or  bodylastics exercise bands

If you think you’re going to solve all your fitness and weight loss goals with every new “wonder fitness gadget” like the Cardio Twister you see on late night TV, you’re not. You’re just going to be hundreds, if not thousands of dollars poorer with nothing to show for it.

Cardio Twister Rating Rating:

Doesn’t burn any more calories than a nice brisk walk outside, and walking is free.
