One of the gyms around here is advertising something new: Hot Iron.
Now, I'm not a gym-goer, so I haven't heard about this latest fitness trend. With a silly name like that I'm sure I would remember. So, my imagination took over.

I've come up with two possibilities.

It sounds like torture - and as most fitness machines look like elaborate torture devices, it's probably not far off. Maybe red-hot pokers that are rhythmically stabbed at various places of your body and the aim of the game is to evade them? It seems a bit dangerous and I'm sure that it would lead to injuries and lawsuits, so that's probably wrong.

Or, and I like this one better, it's iron as in ironing and it's a bit like a spinning class, but instead of the bicycle you have an ironing board in front of you and do speed ironing while your legs get their workout on a stepping or running machine. That would be handy, as the gym could also generate money by taking in their customers' ironing.

I could just google it, but what would be the fun of that?
