 Super Fun--Get Two For a Better Workout |

(This is the same review I wrote for the Bally Twist Board, but this product is identical except for the color.)
We had one of these when I was a kid too (1960s). All of us kids fought over it (that's probably why my parents made it disappear). Now I can have one of my own. In fact, I have two. You get a better workout with two--one for each foot.
I fell on the ice this winter (rats!) and these little twister boards have been excellent to help work out the pain that still lingers in my right hip. I stand on them while I read and twist gently. I use light weights and dance around on, and off of, them to music. I keep them handy, near the kitchen, so I can use them whenever. I love them.
If you're concerned about them slipping on the floor just use some that Rubbermaid squishy shelf liner stuff underneath them. Hold onto a countertop if you're concerned about balance and turn your legs all the way in and out, together and separatley. You can mess around with weight transfer too--stand on one leg and twist the other or put weight right on the leg and twist. Both ways are fun and good movement increasers. You'll enjoy working your hips, obliques, and lungs (if you really get going) this way. I even put them on my kitchen stool tops and sit on them sometimes.
They're so inexpensive and so fun they're really worthwhile.

| It works great if you remember to use it. That's the main problem. I am 52 and remember having something like this when I was a kid. I used it then, for my waist size, but I use it now for to just twist to make my back feel good. |
Love this little thing...

| After using this for a week or two my husband noticed my abs looked a little tighter. All you need is a little motivation & to combine it with other routines. |

At the end of the day, when I look down at my pedometer and notice that I am no where near my goal of 10,000 steps for the day, I step onto my new twist board. I twist while I am brushing my teeth. I will then continue to twist for an additional 5-10 minutes. I like to squeeze my stomach muscles tight while I twist to tone my abdomen at the same time as my waist. I love how quickly the twist board gets my heart rate up. It is also a lot of fun.

| My wife inquired whether or not they even built these anymore so much to our delight we went to Amazon and sure enough there's even more than one model. It seeemed small to us when we first got them, one each, but they perform perfectly and have been proven by my weight to be quite sturdy. We use ours while watching TV instead of just sitting there and getting bigger. The workout you get is low impact and gets you moving a little bit. We both had these when we were kids in th 50s and 60s and its still just as fun to use now. Highly recommended. The price is right too. |
