Given there's been talk about him getting back to shape (or the need thereof) pre-Coachella, I remembered an obscure bit of news from way back.

AXL GETS FIT

Tom Cruise, Axl Rose and Sylvester Stallone are all having this contraption installed in their mansions right now. It's a gym machine which promises that, in four minutes, you can achieve the same results as if you were to jog for 45 minutes, weight train for another 45 minutes and stretch for 15.

The secret behing ROM (Range of Motion) machine is that it forces you to consume more oxygen as you exercise. And it not only stimulates your muscles, it also creates sufficiently high metabolism so that, after just four minutes, users burn more calories for the rest of the day than the saddos who slog it out on the tredmill.

Yes, we scoffed it. But wouldn't it be fantastic if it really was possible to save yourself that extra 101 minutes of tedium?

You could be doing something more interesting like watching the telly and eating chocolate.

And, according to scientists at the University of Southern California, the ROM machine does work. With prolonged use, their guinea pigs not only replaced body fat with muscle, but also achieved the same level of fitness from their daily four minutes as if they'd been doing 45 minutes of aerobics a day.

The downside? It costs £7,778.

It's tested with guinea pigs, Axl. Give it a shot.

Just coming from a basic knowledge of physiology and the snake oil that is the fitness market, I can very confidently state that this thing does not and could not do what it is claimed to.  Maybe that's why Axl is fat, he's only working out 4 minutes a day lol.  There are no short cuts, folks.

That's how I see it as well, like the stuff Chuck Norris advertises.

Hope Axl got his for endorsement purposes, otherwise just another example of his carefree spending habits.

I remember me and a friend watching those in our teens. Found it hilarious.

Then Chuck Norris came on and we were both like "well, he's giving it a good sell". Chuck Norris can make anything respectable.

Mark Hamill managed it for Star Wars, Axl can do it for GN'R. Come on, spend some of that Coachella money on a dietician and a personal trainer. Hell, worst case scenario: pay a liposuction specialist to hoover the spare tire out. Axl needs to come out swinging, in 2006 beast mode.
