Question
i have been woking out aerobically for about 25 years - I started out running, then swimming, then the nordic track, now the stairmaster. i recently saw an add for the ROM machine. i think it looks great but my husband is a doctor and he is very sceptical about the fact that 4 minutes can give you and adequate cardio workout, which is what the makers claim. it is very pricey at $14,000. i would be willing to pay if i thought it worked. do you know about this machine? thanks,juli
Juli,
The only thing more ridiculous than the suggestion that you can get a good workout in 4 minutes is the pricetag.
I did a thorough investigation of this machine a month ago and I could find no legitimacy.
Stat away.
Best wishes,
Todd
