Hanging Leg Shaker

This nightmare involved strapping your legs into a sling, suspending them upside down, and turning on a motorized shaker. The device would jiggle your legs violently to “break up fat deposits” and tone muscles without lifting a finger. People lined up at beauty salons to be shaken senseless.

Unfortunately, users also got vertigo, headaches, and even nosebleeds. Hanging upside down while vibrating is, shockingly, not good for your health. It was eventually removed from most establishments—replaced by less terrifying methods like walking.
