As Seen on TV Exercise Equipment . . . false claims, or can it really help you improve your fitness?

As Seen on TV Exercise Equipment promises to help you lose weight, tone muscles, get washboard abs, melt fat, and boost your cardio capacity . . . all for three easy payments of $19.95.

Popular fitness products that have made the rounds of the infomercial circuit in recent years include the Perfect Push Up, the Iron Gym, the Bean, the Body by Jake Bun and Thigh Rocker, and countless others.

But there are a few exceptions.
