Of all the different types of fitness equipment that come and go, there is one that is still a major contender, which is a treadmill.  Why do you not find treadmills sold on infomercials? Because they are not a high margin hyped up exercise equipment. The majority of the infomercial equipment is designed for one purpose, to make as much money as soon as possible before the general public figures out they don’t work.

A substantial portion of the price of this equipment is going towards the promotions.  Who are the people that mostly buy this stuff? Individuals who want to believe that there are shortcuts to losing weight and getting in shape by avoiding rigorous treadmill incline workouts. Getting fit takes time and effort, and no machine is going to avoid that reality.
