Here's how this piece of marvel works:

I feel sorry for the ass hats that buy into this bullshit. What is it, 20 minutes before you even access fat storage cells? Has anyone actually used one of these?

I believe its all about oxygen consumption. Example would be SCUBA diving. Let's say you went to 30 ft and spend 45 minutes in water temp 68 degrees. You breathed about the whole of your 80 cubic feet tank, feeling worked but not super tired afterwards. Let's say you went to 90 ft in 52 degrees and lasted 5 minutes at depth, deco the rest of the tank with total time of 20 minutes under water. You came up beat and in need of an immediate nap and starving. Definitely using up more calories in less time.
This machine is made for seniors and disabled or obese people who are unable to excersise aerobically in a usual manner. This could be beneficial in some long term rehab facilities (if they can afford it), not so much for general public.
If you are that lazy, just strap on some of those electrode thingies that give you shocks like Bruice Lee used.

Actually it is made for susceptible and weak morons that have too much money and not enough brains. The mere fact that they even hint you can get a reasonable workout in four minutes is proof in itself that the objective of the company is to sell a worthless turd for its weight in gold. This product ranks right up there with magic weight-loss pills, Ab Rollers, magnets that can increase fuel economy 20 MPG, and $40 bottles of premium water. The only thing more legit than this product is that Nigerian email I got the other day about inheriting $40m, and that job offer I got where I can work at home in my spare time and make $14,000 a month on my computer.

Those Ab rollers can be brutally hard if you use them right. I wouldn't drop them in the same categories as those other scams.

If you can roll-out from standing to fully extended and back to standing with nothing touching the ground but your feet and the roller I salute you as having abs of steel, otherwise you can still gain quite a bit of strength from an ab roller done right.

Yeah dude, for real. Those ab rollers really are pretty awesome.

Pretty sure one could hit all the same muscle groups with a simple Burpee. Performed as a Tabata Interval, and you got your 'world class' workout in 4 minutes.

Cost: $0

Sprint as fast as you can for 4 minutes. If you go further than a mile, you just had a world class workout.

Maybe ab roller was not the right name then. There is some product out there with a name to the extent of Ab Roller, but it is completely worthless.

I have a better one to add to the list: SENSA, you know, that shit you apparently sprinkle on your double cheeseburger and XL fries and somehow it makes you loose weight magically. Sensa apparently lost a lawsuit with the FCC for $25m for false claims (no surprise). But what is even more outrageous is what the FCC is doing with the money. "The FTC will use money from Sensa's settlement to provide refunds to consumers who bought Sensa" Why reward stupid? If you are dumb enough to believe you can sprinkle funflakes on your double McFatty burgers and loose weight, well... some people are better off learning the hard way.

I've done burpees as fast as I could for four minutes (much longer actually) many times in CrossFit. It is a fun workout for sure (as part of a set), but even burpees at ludicrous speed is still not much of a workout when it's only four minutes. I am going to go ahead and say there is nothing on Earth anyone could do for four minutes that could match a 45-min workout of reasonable intensity.

Fun reference:

If I "run" at a painstakingly slow speed of 4 MPH for 45 min I will burn 339 kcal.

If I run at 45 MPH for 4 minutes, I burn 339 kcal. I cant think of many exercises that are on par, difficulty wise, with running at 45 MPH.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
