<DIV>Rabbi Belsky has been very outspoken about these kinds of
practices,viewing them, at best,as dishonest money-making
schemes,and,at worse, as close to avodah zarah, IIRC. He expressed these views
at his end-of-the -summer sessions in which he answered
questions on all 4 sections of Shulchan Aruch at the
Bostonner Beis Medrash in Flatbush.They can be heard
on tapes of these shiurim marketed by Irgun Shiurei Torah . I do
not recall that he discussed it this past year,but I think he did each of the
two previous years.</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Start the year off right. <A title="http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489" href="http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489" target="_blank">Easy ways to stay in shape</A> in the new year. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
