Both are excercise but one you do less work.

Yes, but while both are exercises where one you do less work, it's also the case where you get worse results.

That's the problem with machines like this. People are spending money on equiment that actually produces fewer results.

Exercise really is an example of something where you get out exactly what you put in.
