Shake shake shake!

Imagine the look of disbelief on my face when I saw the OTO FlabeLos! machine sit pretty in the Formation Gym! It seems that I was not the only one who was baffled. All around me were folks querying each other to reassure themselves that they aren't seeing anything wrong haha! Hmmmm... but the FlabeLos! looks a bit out of place in an Army Gym don't you think? In fact, it looks glaringly dysfunctional amongst the conventional gym workout stations like the good old Lats Pulldown and Treadmill etc.

But I, despite the social stigma associated with the usage of such a pussy-looking machine, did bravely went out of my way to try it! o_O!! Right from the onset, I decided that this machine was meant for a rocket scientist to use. Judging from the use of pretty drab and an analogue display arranged in a boring manner, the user-friendliness is a big thumbs down. Boo~ The only thing that kept me on in my evaluation was the fact that I didn't have to shell out a single cent for it! :P

Of course, my dogged determination didn't let me down eventually. I did experience the "shake shake shake!" At first the vibration was negligible but after some time on the board (you're supposed to stand on the thing), the machine really did brought out the jives man! Oh my god, imagine tucking into Swensen's famous Earthquake only to subject your body to this "earthquake" again. Talk about 摇到外婆桥! -_-!!! But it was an embarrassing sight la. Imagine having your fats jiggled at top speed fo all to see... At the end of it, I naturally became rather sceptical that such a seismic experience will actually do something about my strategic fat reserves.

Never mind! I will try it out for a week as my pilot project and report on my findings again!

No... I didn't recall saying anything about the FlabeLos! looking rather like a pussy machine...
