10 Worst Infomercials Ever

At InfomercialReviews.tv we’ve reviewed some great products for you. And some others that are NOT quite so great. In this video below, we’d like to take a quick break from reviewing as seen on tv products and show you some of the worst infomercials ever shown on television.

Of course some of these infomercials only seem silly to us because they are so old. However, as you can see, some of these products and shows are just so stupid that you’ve got to ask yourself, “What were they thinking?” I hope you enjoy the video (and I hope you never bought any of the products shown in the clip).

Which of these 10 infomercials is your favorite (or least favorite)? Leave a comment below and join the conversation.

Ab Circle Pro Reviews and Ratings

Are you tired of uncomfortable, boring exercise equipment that doesn’t work?

If you’re like me, you would do anything to get rid of those extra pounds and get harder abs. I’ve tried all types of diets and exercise machines as well as all the miracle health supplements. Well, a while back I watched parts of an infomercial advertising the new Ab Circle Pro. The Ab Circle looked like an amazing machine and the results they were able to achieve on the show were remarkable! I decided that it was time for me to check it out.

If you haven’t seen the Ab Circle Pro yet, click here to visit the official Ab Circle Pro website.

The main questions that I wanted to answer were, Does the Ab Circle really work and, Is it as easy as it looks? Well, I’ve got to tell you that the Ab Circle is great!!! In general, I don’t really trust “as seen on tv” products very much but I do know that many of them do work great.  By the way, you should know that I don’t usually get so excited about exercising but this product really makes it a lot of fun.

Here’s a short video that I create when I first got my Ab Circle. Watch it for yourself  so you can see how cool and easy it is.

Now, I know some of you might be thinking that the infomercial show seemed to make some remarkable claims.  And you’re probably also wondering if you can get those kind of results as well. Based on my experiences, if you follow these tips from the beginning, it is possible to get the maximum results from the Ab Circle (I wish somebody would have told me these things before I started using it).

Here are my tips for getting the most out of your Ab Circle Pro:

  • Use a towel for extra padding on the knee pads.
  • Place the machine on a carpet when you use it so it doesn’t move around on the floor.
  • Don’t get excited and try to use it too much right when you get it. The Ab Circle works muscles that usually don’t get a lot of exercise and if you do too much too fast, you might hurt yourself. Start slowly.
  • Read the directions! This machine isn’t like anything else that you’ve ever used before. If you understand how it is intended to be used, you’ll be sure to get the most out of it. (I know this one sounds obvious, but there are so many people use it wrong and then complain that it didn’t work right)

One of the most important things is that the Ab Circle is fun to use. The spinning motion makes you feel like you are a kid riding on a swing. For me, having an enjoyable workout that doesn’t take very much time is really important because if I’m bored or if the workout takes too long, you can be sure that the machine is going to be collecting dust under my bed pretty soon. I don’t think I’m going to have that problem with the Ab Circle any time soon.

The thing that I like most though about the Ab Circle is that it provides a quick and effective workout that can be done from home after my kids go to bed. Pull out your Ab Circle, turn on the TV and get a real workout that won’t interfere with your busy schedule.

The biggest negatives about the Ab Circle is that it can be a little hard on the knees if you don’t use some extra padding like a small towel. The machine also moves around a little bit if you try to use it on a hard wood floor. However, I saw these as pretty minor problems that were pretty easily solved.

I know that there are so many people out there that hope and pray that this product really can do all that it promises. And I know that every time you watch the infomercial you wonder if it’s possible that one product can give you such dramatic results? Well, take my advice, now is the right time to stop wondering and go find out for yourself. That’s because the people over at Ab Circle are offering a special limited time offer that allows you to get a 30-Day No Risk trial of the Ab Circle for only $14.99.

For only $14.99, you owe it to yourself to see how well the Ab Circle Pro can work for you. You have nothing to lose.
