A great deal of people are endlessly searching for a way to lose weight without having to actually exercise, and the Roll-Shaper may be another machine that gets the obese to the gym more effectively than a treadmill does.

This [rotating body massager](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbital-massager) is large enough to knead your back, thighs, butt and belly, and it comes with instructions for several "workouts" that involve holding different positions against the mechanical roller. Though the [weight loss claim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/methreesixty) may be a little controversial, the manufacturers assert that the Roll-Shaper has great results for [lymphatic drainage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/softmoshi-s1) and consequently for overall health. The image of a room full of Roll-Shapers rather than cross-trainers may remain surprising for some, but so long as users see some physiological result, this may be worth a try.
