4. Gazelle Freestyle
If you've ever been unable to sleep and ended up watching late-night infomercials, chances are you've seen trainer Tony Little hawking the Gazelle, a machine that's like an elliptical with more range of motion. The Gazelle supposedly provides a full-body workout, but it's hard to pay attention to any specifics with Little's on-screen antics, including flirting with fitness models and yelling "buttocks" every time it comes up in the script.

5. Hawaii Chair
Americans spend most of their day sitting. Wouldn't it be great if we could somehow turn that into a calorie-torching activity without ever lifting a finger?
That's the selling point of the Hawaii Chair. It looks just like an ordinary chair, except the seat moves in a circular, hula-like fashion (now you see where the name comes from), which forces you to engage your core. Make sure you strap in or risk getting tossed off.

6. Ab Lounge
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary outdoor folding chair, but don't be fooled. Another piece of fitness equipment from Tony Little, the Ab Lounge adds a twist to the traditional sit-up.
Instead of doing crunches on the ground, the chair suspends you in the air to give you more range of motion. Say good-bye to straining your neck and hello to a sore midsection.
