I workout while watching tv...my husband likes it more than me so we take turns. ;) It's an easy fun workout, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone that wants to see results quickly because you wouldn't get them. Think of it as an additional helper to your other-more rigorous workout.

I'm 5'5" & 115 lbs and I do go to the gym and this mine does have resistance. I just jump on it for a minute and it gets my heart rate up. I also love it because you don't have to set aside time to do it. You can jump on it at anytime, don't need special clothes, shoes or gear. Leave it out where you see it & use it whenever you see it.

Try different ways of pulling the straps (the paper that comes with it doesn't illustrate all the things you can do). Try holding your hands out, facing down & pull up - this works the triceps (back of the arm that gets flabby even if your thin) as well as your abs!

I have a box where I keep exercise equiptment that the kids can use whenever they want without supervision. My fitness toy box. This twist board is a nice addition to the toy box. It is good for twisting. Use the resistance tubing for balance when twisting or for curls. The kids, 4 & 10, actually have fun trying to use it. It serves it's purpose of giving me a good twisting exercise and inspiring the kids to use it. 5 Stars because it is inexpensive and totally usable by my family and me.

I had used the same product before a couple of years ago at a gym, and decided to buy my own. When it arrived, the product appeared to be in excellent condition... However when used, it made an extremely loud noise unlike the quiet whirring of the one I had previously used. It almost sounds like nails on a chalkboard as the base rotates. the product works, but it is hard to get over the screeching to use it!

This is a great product. It really works on your core. I just started working out with a trainer and she had one and I thought it was a great workout if you do it correctly. She gave me a hint to find a spot on the wall and focus on that so you don't end up twisting all the way around. Very easy, I do while watching tv.

For something so simple, you work harder on trying to keep your balance than anything else. Don't try to twist on it without shoes, it will hurt your feet. I tried to watch tv and twist (great concept), but you will twist around in a circle, and you work trying to stay facing forward and keep balanced. Otherwise, you just twist in a circle until you get tired. You may get better balance on a solid surface like vinyl, wood or tile flooring, but the carpet will test your balance.

It's very effective and inexpensive, it works. You get a good workout when you use this Twist Board with Risistance Tubing. It's great, you get an upper body workout while twisting. And you start seeing the difference almost immediately. I see my midsection shrinking and I've lost inches in just a few weeks of use.

This is easy to exercise with. I just thought it would be a bit bigger.

At first during 3 weeks i was in love with this twist because it really works as an excercizer, i was in pain the first week using it every day 20 minutes, and that means it works, however now the twist has broken, it makes a strange noise when i step on it, and it does not twist like it used, and i only weight 130 pounds, only I used it! i am very dissapointed because i was really happy with the training I was doing : (

I thought I was doing the moves wrong at first because it was so easy. I mostly use it for the resistance bands to work my arms. I really do feel a difference in my arms - they are much tighter after only one week! My boyfriend even told me he saw my shoulder muscles developing the other day, so that's a good thing! I like to use it while watching TV - I do it during the commercials. I also run 4-5 times a week, so I would recommend a workout routine if you are looking to lose weight. Just using this product alone wouldn't do it.

Side Note: Not that this matters (unless you have OCD) but the item that was sent to me was blue and the picture showed it as grey.
