Has anyone else tried THE BEAN?



Recommended Posts

I just got the Bean excise workout tonight and tried it. I could really feel it in my abs and the workout is only 7 mins. Abs(gut) is what I really need to work on coming off my legs and butt pretty good just from my treadmill I guess but gut is not so thought I would try this. Just wondering if anyone else as used this equipment before or not and what was results if any? thanks girls and guys.

It looks kind of like it might work. I'd wait and see if any turn up in the gym. Like ab-rollers and fit balls. They looked like a fad, but they actually do work. Strangely, no ab lounges in the gym, lol.

Anything that enables you to work your abs whilst protecting your back is probably a good bet. As long as you use it, its a big thing that wont be easily stored. You dont want it glaring at you hatefully from its neglected corner, lol.

But really, when push comes to shove, getting down on the floor and doing those darn crunches DOES work. You really dont need special equipment unless you really want it and have room for it.

I agree 100%. The good, effective stuff does usually end up at the gym. I had a good laugh the first time I ever saw a fit ball. I thought it was a joke . . . but I feeellll it when I am using it and it works great.

Funny thing is, with all of the expensive equipment I have access to . . . I find good old fashion weights and exercise bands, not to mention using my own body weight to build strength, is a much better work out. I dont know why I ever thought I need a specific machine before when just getting down on the floor is such a great (and can be intense) workout.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
