It seems to me that there is a difference between moving and being moved. I find it hard to beleive that the machine could expend the energy and you would get the results. And if this works, why aren't health clubs filled with exercise machines that move your muscles for you. I'm sure they'd be a lot more popular if you didn't have to actually do anything but sit there and let a machine do the work.
