The "Guy Code" gang discusses gettin' fat on tonight's Season Three premiere, which is a lot more fun than gettin' skinny. Nevertheless, Americans spend $5.5 billion per year on home fitness equipment. We've all seen the 3 a.m. infomercials and considered stepping, shaking, jumping, climbing, spinning, punching or nodding our way to a better body.
Perhaps some of these contraptions work, or perhaps they'll just make you scratch your head a bit... but hey, at least you'll burn a few calories in doing so.

A great way to jer--um--WORK off those extra calories. Why buy the cow when you can milk yourself for free?

We're not done with Tony Little yet. The Ab Rider is a knees-up, side-to-side glide workout that might make your abs look great, but will otherwise make you look like you're desperately trying to escape from a bumper car.

Hey hey! Imagine getting rid of excess gut chub by doing absolutely jack s***! Now THAT's our kind of workout. (Just don't tell your friends that you're too sissy to pump iron.)

Combining all the boredom of cross-country skiing with all the boredom of staying at home, you too can look like this thrilling gentleman.

Can you believe there was a time when people simply thought shaking your ass at the speed of light was an effective workout? Well, it was the 1950s; they had more than a few backward beliefs.
8. Stripper Pole
If you have one of these in your house, you also better have a live-in stripper girlfriend.
