I first saw a ROM machine on an in-flight magazine while traveling.  They promise and unbelievable set of results from a 4 minute workout.  Unbelievable...but then so is Santa Clause. 

Recently a local gym got one, so I thought "what the heck..."  I've been using it for 3 weeks.  Am I changing? yes.  Do I have a models figure yet?  No. 

But I do feel more energetic, and certainly feel strangely  "worked out"after using it. Tired but not sweaty...pulse high..

Has anyone else seen or used one of these?  Opinions?

A couple of years ago I researched the ROM. At a price tag of $14,615 for a piece of home exercise equipment it wasn't in my budget.

fastexercise.com gives details on the ROM exercise machine.

The idea that a person can spend 4 minutes a day exercising and more or less get the equivalent workout of one hour on a treadmill just doesn't compute.

Over the years I have seen several exercise products that promise double the calorie burning results in comparison to a treadmill.

One example is the Healthrider that had thousands and thousands of informercials on TV for a year that promised you would burn double the calories on a Healthrider in comparison to using a treadmill. In a study done by a University they determined that the calorie burning on the Healthrider was about 70% of what you would burn on a treadmill for equivalent workouts. The Treadmill beat the Healthrider hands down.

To me, it's only common sense that no exercise product can burn 15 times more calories than a treadmill.

Seabiscuit, it would be very interesting to see what kind of weighloss results you have after using the ROM for 10 weeks. Please, give us an update at some point in the future.
