However, most people think that these fitness trends and shortcuts are not a good way to go about things, and a big part of the reason why that is the case has to do with the fact that they are usually gimmicks that are not genuinely going to contribute all that much to your overall fitness all in all.

Under desk elliptical trainers are often lumped in with the rest of the exercise trends that people end up foregoing. This is a mistake, though, because of the fact that these machines are actually very effective indeed. They may seem like shortcuts to you but they are actually far better in terms of the actual weight that you could lose.
