Do you ever get sucked in by infomercials? I admit it. When I'm channel surfing and come across the Cario Twister or Ab Coaster, I pause a moment and wonder, "Could that really work?"

The folks at Consumer Reports wondered, too. I ran across this article posted on Yahoo! Friday. It gives a glimpse of what their testers thought of the products. Here's the link: http://health.yahoo.net/articles/fitness/get-fit-get-real

Have you tried any of these sorts of items? What do you think? Did it hurt your bottom line - or help it?!
