Does anyone have one of these, to quote someone in another thread, they are like the space hoppers without the handles?
I have heard that they are actually quite good for toning and stetching exercises at home, but I am wary of faddy or gimmicky products.
Fact is, I prefer to work out at home rather than in a gym, I have a good routine for toning, but could do with a little more variety. I've also heard they can be good for your back (obviously used properly).
Good investment or flash-in-the-pan useless gimmick?

I have Argos Vouchers and I'm not afraid to spend them...
I shall go forth and purchase, old people and mums with pushchairs do not deter me, nor do staff with bigger spots than brains, I shall be triumphant.
I have heard if you are looking at developing your abs you should work them like other muscles i.e. sets of reps with varying weights... in that you dont exercise your biceps by keeping the same weight and increasing the reps time and time again till you can do 100 or whatever. Anyone disagree with this?
You can vary the amount of resistance, and it uses the muscles as they are designed to be used - as stabilisers, not prime movers. With work and patience it's very good at giving good square abs. It even has a testimonial from Snow white later on in the thread!
