What will they think of next?

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet 'hydrospinning'. I'm sure it's tough, and I'm I'm sure I'd enjoy having a go at it, but I'll stick to walking and cycling in the countryside, thank you very much

My guess at the next fitness-craze is 'treacle-robics', where you do aerobics in a swimming pool full of treacle, honey or golden syrup.

Chairs with legs that run you in the opposite direction to where you were going to sit?

That could be called 'Lidocane' - enough to make anyone relax.

Hopefully they'll use the deep end next.

My immediate thought was what bottom bracket seal's do they use, but then I thought what chains do they use, then I thought are these special under water machines anybody know

I had this idea a while ago about getting some wood and making a sort of oval where people with pushbikes could cycle around and around without actually going anywhere.
I decided it would never be a goer.

Did anyone else see the episode of Mythbusters, where they attempted cycling underwater? Bouyancy prevented traction, so they ended up with bikes with concrete wheels and big stabilising outriggers, but they couldn't make it work.

As long as there are mugs who will try the latest fad..there will be charlatans willing to extract their moolah

I suppose its a form of resistance training, but it seems a bit silly.
