Lean, Queen

Some of us can spend four hours with Rimbaud but struggle with four minutes working out. Maybe it ain’t French, but let’s give three cheers for a very real revolution in the world of fitness: the ROM ™ (Range of Motion) machine. This smart system covers all muscle groups for a complete upper or lower body workout in just 4 minutes. Sound too good to be true? Science bears it out: this workout involves a greater percentage of muscle cells is involved in the workout making oxygen consumption rates increase dramatically.

The technology, based on a flywheel with centrifugal clutch resistance mechanism, automatically adjusts the resistance to the individual’s workout level. Hollywood’s A-list has this $14,000 muscle machine in their mansions; the rest of us can get the same results at hosting gyms in 4 minutes as from 45 to 90 minutes of conventional exercise. More time for poetry and pâté? You bet.
