I don’t watch a whole lot of TV and when I do it’s usually a program that I record on the DVR (then you can FF through the 10,000 commercials). I’m also very selective with what I watch. Never watch the news, doesn’t matter what network because it just doesn’t make me feel good and I try very hard to only spend my time on things that are positive and educational. So last Friday night I was watching The Ellen show from 1/6/10. What a stitch she is. I especially love when she features workout gadgets. Well she out did herself this time with "3 Minute Legs". I was rolling on the floor and then I really lost it when she added "The Shake Weight" Seriously….Who wouldn’t want great legs in 3 minutes? But this thing is ridiculous. The clip below will not only make you laugh, but it’ll also show you that you could spend your 3 minutes much wiser by doing the little “Beyonce’s Trainer” Workout instead. It’s a whole lot cheaper too $0.00 (that gizmo is $99.95 plus shipping)

Why spend hours at the gym, or thousands of dollars on machines that don't even target your problem areas? They’re right here, you don’t need to go to the gym, but you also DON’T need to spend a hundred bucks on their gizmo either.

Every with the “device” Ellen’s form still sucks. She would probably hurt herself.
