The Bean....another gimmick?



Recommended Posts

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........

Ok, I found it it. Target has it for 49.95.

I was actually thinking of buying the AB Lounger.

Anyone have that?

It does look interesting, will you let us know how you do with it? I think I might like to purchase one.

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:

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 :(

QVC sells it a little cheaper than most places. I think it's around $45. Of course you still have shipping.

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.

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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
