If you read the article in between insulting me i said they are unneccessary- you can get the same results without the risk of injury these machines pose- or better results with different exercises that isolate through the full range of motion. No one said people should only using these machines- a lot of inexperienced gym goers DO however use only these machines and expect to see results, which is precisely why I wrote this article and apparently I am fat and need to go on a diet. awesome. you can max your muscles without using machines.

These machines are meant to go at the end of your workout. Say you do legs one day, starting off with squats or leg press. Those exercises exhaust the general muscles, but then you do these machines to isolate each muscle. That way you completely exhaust your legs. Of course people dont "see" results if they only use these machines. You probably are uneducated when it comes to exercising. Unless you are very lean, you may not see results. If you are stronger, then you may have some results. You also need to do enough sets, use enough heavy weight, and have the right diet. These machines alone are not meant to be your workout, just compliment it. This article is a joke. I train hard, use these machines at the end of my workouts depending on my muscle group, and I am walking proof of results. The author should be humiliated. Maybe if they went on a diet and learned how to train, they would see results and realize these machines were meant to help your training regimine, not BECOME it. Lastly, Author you have not learned enough about training if you have posted this. There are teams of professionals who create these machines. It is a science. If you use them right, then they will help you. If you are ignorant and dont know what you are doing, sure, they might seem insignificant or the "worst". This is quite hilarious.

I must admit I use to be guilty of using a few of these machines.... but not I strictly go to the weight lifting class at my gym where we use free weights and bars. I've seen MUCH better results and I don't have to "flash my crotch" at anyone! :) -A GREAT INFO!

Well, one less thing to do! I'll have to get out my elastic band now. That is really good to know about the adductor machine…I’ve been doing that a few times a week because of my knee issues.

I do notice a diff with the thigh machines though. maybe because I do heavier weights on it and do a slow-burn method. but those knee machines are killer and dangerous! those knee machines do hurt and I’ve never noticed a diff either.

If so, there is no support for your lower back, which means the possibility of injury is astronomically higher. Hanging upside down for intensity purposes though, is a lot more challenging because you are fighting gravity as well No Way- Im an ACE Certified Personal trainer…pretty sure thats authority…

I see the commercials all the time and wonder if they're hokey. it’s an opinion ‘no way’…
