Does the "Orbitrek Platinum" fitness machine work?

March 30th, 2010 | by admin |

I recently saw part of an infomercial for the "Orbitrek Platinum" & I’m tempted to buy it. Has anyone out there tried it? Here’s the company website:

It’s only like $289 so it seems too good to be true…

I read it at just under $200.00. I also read it as cheap. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. I’ve learned, the hard way, that you get what you pay for. Looking at pictures of the product, I suspect that it would last for maybe six months if I were to use it. Most people who buy those machines end up putting them in the garage and letting them collect dust. Do like me, learn that the best way to stay fit is the old fashioned way… get out and work. Whether it be a three mile walk, or an hour shoveling in the garden, you can’t beat doing something productive and/or fun. Those machines are boring as hell and that’s the main reason they fail at what they’re intended to do. This pertains to the high dollar ones as well as the cheap-os like the Orbitrek. If you’re serious about getting fit, read my blog. I’m diabetic and pretty much have to stay fit, or else…. So, I know what I’m talking about.

Here’s all you need to lose weight all over, look good, and get really healthy. First, you have to realize there is no quick, long lasting weight loss plan or pill that is going to do the trick. It’s purely mental. You have to learn to “Eat to live, don’t live to eat”. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? It is, if you understand that you are going to be reprogramming how you think about eating for the next few weeks. Old habits die hard, right? Not really. You get rid of bad habits by replacing them with good habits. If you learn to count your Calories, keep Calorie intake lower than output, exercise moderately, and eat only healthy food, you will lose weight. That’s a fact. All it takes is repetition. All success stories have this in common: The successful folks among us know how to be patient, persistent, and consistent. Set a goal, write it down, and stick with it. The benefits of feeling good will outweigh any sense of sacrifice you might feel about having to push away that cake and ice cream. Here are some helpful and healthy links to help you get started on your way:
