The Bean....another gimmick?

Ok, so I bought The Bean glow up excercise devise. Looks like it would be a great workout for my big ol' hiney. Great for legs, thighs, etc.

Am I a sucker? Anyone buy it, or have used it???

I went and looked it up, I'd never heard of it before. Based on nothing more than a short video clip, it looks like it could work well IF you use it right. It looks like you could easily trick yourself into thinking you were doing something good for yourself, but you really aren't getting any benefit because you aren't doing it correctly. Does that make sense?

Our local TV station did a review of it (Bargain or Ripoff? show)....they gave it a good review. I considered getting one but probably wouldn't make myself get down in the floor.

If you want to see one, you can go to the QVC website........

I bought the BEan and I like it!! I can sit on it while I watch TV and do some exercise and not feel like I am doing much but rocking!! Of course there are real exercises they show you how to do, but even the rocking was good for my lower abs...I could feel them working!! I also turn it over and stretch my back muscles and it feels soooo good!:clap2:

bump :clap2: Th eBEan is really great! I want to make sure you all know about it...it has been one week and use it while watching TV.. good work out and easy!

Well you convinced me! LOL

I went and watched the video, the back relief when you have it upside down and lay stomach on it, just looks so nice. I could use that right now!!

And to do some stuff while watching tv would be nice.

I'll see how it goes, I just ordered one :(

I bought mine from a direct website bean.com or something, it's 49.90 and s&h is free, so probably about the same as qvc.

Woohoo...you never can tell with these exercise fads can you...but I gotta get me one of those...it sounds fantastic.

:) becky

My daughter has the AB lounge and loves it. AB excersizes without having to vacuum first! It now comes in a model that folds so you can put it away. Hers doesn't fold, so I'd say having it up all the time takes up too much space. I'm going to check out the bean thing though. Since starting to lose weight I'm feeling so much more energetic that I will brave adding in excersize....soon!

My friend is a pilates instructor and she recommended the bean for ab work. She said it works similarly to the exercise ball but gives more support and stability. It's better for people with lower back problems. I haven't bought it yet as I have a lot of financial stuff coming up with my brother's wedding, but I'm planning to. It sounds like a really good investment.
