We hate to exercise. We really, really hate to exercise. But if we did exercise, we would totally want to use some of the funny contraptions we've catalogued below. A device for talking on the phone while bulking up? We're into it!


Weirdest Fitness Equipment

    10. The Bullworker
    This strange device works on the principle of resistance, and with some effort and a little ingenuity, could be fashioned into a murder weapon.

    9. Rock 'n' Roll Steppa
    Thank ponytailed fitness guru Tony Little for this one. The Rock 'n' Roll Steppa tests your balance by making you rock and roll back and forth. Sounds nauseating.

    8. GyroGym
    The world's largest hamster ball.

    7. Aquavee Portable Swim System
    What is the Aquavee Portable Swim System? A rubber band. That's it. A rubber band you tie to your waist to provide resistance while you swim. Someone is making money selling people a glorified rubber band, people.

    6. Hoopnotica
    We're pretty sure this is just a hula hoop, but the creators of the Hoopnotica workout swear it's a revolutionary exercise device. Nope, it's a hula hoop.

    5. Thighmaster
    Who doesn't love the Thighmaster, Suzanne Somers' revolutionary muscle strengthening device? Sadly, the Thighmaster is no longer in production, so if you've got one, hold on to it (and squeeze those thighs tight).

    4. Velcro Shoes
    Jog with these velcro shoes to provide added resistance -- and lots of additional velcro-y noise -- to your work out

    3. Slendertone Flex Belt
    The Slendertone Flex Belt emits electrical pulses to your abdomen that cause your muscles to contract. So if you're too lazy to do ab crunches (like us), you can shock your muscles into shape!

    2. Hula Chair
    The Hula Chair was invented by "Alexander Innovation Wizard" and as the demonstration video shows, it operates kind of like a hula hoop, except the chair does all the difficult work.

    1. Barbell Phone
    It's a phone with a barbell attached. It's a work out phone. It's a really really bad idea.
