Can you explain why passive exercise machines and figure wrapping are considered fitness quackery?

Many useless products claim to improve fitness and reduce body fat. Claims for these products are false.

Explanation:

Figure wrapping involves the use of bandages or nonporous garments to compress body parts. The wraps are sometimes soaked in fluid, or the person may soak in a bath after being wrapped. The wraps are advertised for weight loss or as a method of losing "inches" from the body.

Passive exercise refers to the use of machines or devices that move your body for you and supposedly promote fat reduction and weight loss.

These passive exercise programs are ineffective because your body is moved by outside forces rather than your own muscles.

Your welcome :)
