Easy to set up. Exercises are easy to follow. I'm not sure how easy it will be to improve my fitness!

I bought this product, and within two days, I heard an odd sound. Turned out most of the ball bearings had come out of the part that makes the unit swivel. I had to take it apart with a hex wrench, put them back on track, and put the thing back together. After about five times of having to do that, I put it in a corner to collect dust. It is now in the landfill. Cheap, cheap, cheap!

I've never written an Amazon review before, but wanted to send out a warning on this product. I bought this at Kohl's last night for $43. I made it through the DVD, but didn't feel anything in my abdominal section after it was over. I can say that it didn't put any strain on my neck, so it would be good for someone who is limited to what ab workouts they can do because of neck pain.
After I was done, my husband gave it a try. He's just under 200 pounds (far below the weight limit) and after about 15 minutes into his DVD workout, the seat completely snapped off.
The included DVD isn't very motivating, either. I returned the whole thing today and will save my money for something better.
At least he & I will have a lifetime of jokes from this experience: "What's your favorite color?"

I have this on loan from a pregnant friend who wants to use it after birth to trim her belly. I'm a fairly inactive student who exercises when she remembers, so I am in no way strong abdominally.
I sat down today with the DVD to see how this product works. I have an exercise ball with a dvd as well as a Power 90 series from a decade ago on VHS that I still use on occasion. They both are substantially more motivating than the joke of a video they threw into this product. It is really more of an instructional usage video than a workout, but the host doesn't even explain what he's doing and why. During periods of his "workout" he was sweating, stating he was burning, etc...I had the RED on the highest tension and was not feeling a thing! I even went back to adjust the exercises to try to find a "sweet spot" in the movements to target my muscles...no go.
I get much better results from 10 minutes of pilates floor work for my core than with however long this DVD lasted. Even the exercise ball provides better resistance with your own weight for crunches.
Maybe for those who cannot tolerate the range of motion required to work out in other ways will benefit from this product, but as another reviewer mentioned, just use a swivel chair for the same results. I can sit here in my computer chair, hold the desk and turn/curl for the same effect. If you are not physically able to do cardio, spent $14 on an exercise ball and just SIT on it while watching tv. It's tons cheaper and still works your core.
And save yourself the frustration of even putting this DVD into your player. The most this guy says is "what's your favorite color?" (it was literally 4 or 5 times) and the two girls in the back mumble apathetically, "red...."

I really enjoyed using the machine so far. However, it already broke! I haven't even had it a month and it is totally broken. I am looking for a way to get it fixed but it is looking like I'm either going to have to ship it back and wait 6 weeks or buy a new one. What a waste!
