Got a minute? Fitness that fits your schedule. Short bursts of intense exercise may be just as effective as longer training sessions. |

| 1 Book stirs controversy; Aerobics is a mistake and not good for losing weight |
| |
What we have been telling people since 1990, that aerobic exercise is of very little value and that it is potentially even counter-productive for health. |
| |
| 1. One Fitness expert that "gets it'. |
| |
Fitness instructor Kelly Knueppel of Kelly's Fitness as a Certified Personal Trainer (IFPA) is an exception to the rule by teaching and practicing in her classes the same principles on which the ROM is based. |
| |
| 2.Jim Fiore, another brilliant example of an ignorant "expert". |
| |
Another brilliant example of a person having lots of opinions without ever having tried a ROM. They don't have to try the ROM because all their education just tells them that it would be a total waste of their 4 minutes to find out that the ROM cannot possibly do what we claim it does. |

| A Law of Nature: Universal Demand Law |
| |
A very interesting law of nature. It explains why all things living respond very favorably to varying forms of demands made upon them. This law also explains why all things living respond very disappointingly to most forms of socialism by reducing or eliminating demands made upon them. Well intentioned benevolence of reducing demands on people and other life forms has often very disappointing and unanticipated outcomes. |

| Another gutless piece of Journalism. Reuters Mon. Feb 12, 2007 |
| |
Frank Pingue a journalist writing for Reuters bases his whole article again on consulting some random "experts'. He never used the ROM machine himself and he never read www.GuardiansOfTheStatusQuo.com |
| |
| Another ignorant blog we found |
| |
The real problem with all these people is that not one of them ever did use a ROM before having an opinion about it. |

What we have been telling people since 1990 |

| Creative offers. Please no more creative offers, we are getting so many of them. |
| |
A meddly of all kinds of offers we receive whereby we will have to give people a ROM for nothing and they will then pay the ROM off by doing good things for us or sell ROM machines for us. |
| |
| E-Mails from misinformed and uninformed people. |

Very frequently we get angry e-mails from people who know little or nothing about our ROM machine and have never used a ROM for 4 minutes |

Ever since 1990 when we first started manufacturing and selling the ROM machine (the price was $10400 at that time) we have gotten the occasional socialist viewpoint on economics and how much cheaper these people could make and sell the ROM. |

| ROMs on eBay |
| |
On an infrequent basis some people sell a ROM on eBay. We do not quite understand why, but it happens. The prices they sell for are never lower than $10,000. That in itself is a good sign that the ROMs hold their value. This is what a seller of a ROM on eBay had to say. Still no reason to sell it. |

A lot of negative opinions from people who have never used the ROM and positive ones from ROM owners or people that have used the ROM. Some of these sound like disguised fake promotion for the ROM, but we here at Romfab know nothing about them or their authors. |

| Using oxygen and burning calories AFTER exercise (EPOC) |
| |
Aerobic exercises primarily consume oxygen and calories during low intensity long duration exercise and consume little oxygen and few calories after the exercise. An-aerobic exercises are exercises that cannot be sustained over long periods of time because the intensity is so high that that not enough oxygen can be supplied by the lungs to maintain such a high level of activity. During these short duration high intensity exercises the high intensity muscle activity will quickly (in about 1 to 2 minutes) consume all the available oxygen in the cardio-vascular system and then will cause the body to go into qxygen debt (creating energy without using oxygen). That an-aerobic energy production can only be sustained for a short time after which the activity cannot be maintained at the initial high level of energy production and ultimately must return to the much lower aerobic energy production level. The oxygen debt will be |
