3.0 out of 5 stars Not that effective, June 25, 2006

This review is from: Bun & Thigh Roller Exercise System (Health and Beauty)

I have this product for a couple of months now. The reason I bought this product is because I have hip,knee and back problems and I wanted a product easy on my body and still that would work my bun and thighs. Here are the downsides: It is not as comfortable as it is shown on TV. Your body slides down and you have to continuosly push yourself up using your arms in an awkard position. So I end up working up no more than 3-5 minutes. The roller keeps moving back as you exercise and you end up rolling across the room. The exercise is very easy and I am not even sure if it is working the bun and thigh muscles at all. The resistance band has only 2 adjustable positions, not that adjustable at all. You will probably end up buying another band that has more resistance since it does not feel like a work out. Also I bought the upper body attachment which is totally useless and waste of money. I would recommend a pilates machine or a pilates tape that you could use at home for injury-safe easy exercise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent stretch, Builds stronger toned glutes,hamstrings and front upper thighs, August 9, 2007

OK, first off, I'm only rating this 5 stars to counteract the lady who gave it one star unfairly when this thing actually works (She also has a pattern of trashing products and giving out 1 star reviews without actually taking the time to use them). As long as you press down into the floor and don't use a slippery surface it will not slide back and it does really hit the target areas that it advertises. I also added to the workout by putting mine next to the wall and placing my feet on the wall instead of the carpet and it hits even more of your buns and hamstrings. It is also very good for stretching your hamstrings and backside. Also, just keep your back flat and flush with the pad and you will be fine.

You can't expect a miracle product for under $40 bucks, but for the cheap price and small size, this thing gets 4 stars and it works too. Where else can you get a good occasional lower body workout for this price?

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, but not my favorite, July 26, 2007

I don't mind the workout, but it isn't my favorite. I can feel it in my buns and thighs but I also find that if I'm not careful to relax my shoulders and neck, it can cause me to have a lot of pain in my back and neck.

Oh and also, the black rubber has left some lovely stains on my carpet that were very difficult to clean off. If you have light-colored carpets, might want to put something down before using this.
