[QUOTE="Roadkill101, post: 2506399, member: 30952"] Several years back, my wife bought one of those Total Gym machines as endorsed by Chuck Norris. It's never been used, except for the cats who used it as a scratching post and the kids who did their damndest to break it through play. So now I'm out close to 1500 bucks and need to have it re-uphosltered, to make it useable:(. Actually the cats damaged it worse than anything the kids did to it. I have no idea if the Ab-Lounger works or not. For someone such as myself (too lazy to stay in proper shape and developing an ever increasing pot-belly), I'd recommend buying something along the lines of the Total Gymn or Bowflex, that's semi re-configurable to work different parts of the body, than something that looks roughly like two overgrown coat hangers utilizing a tension spring to keep them apart offering a more limited exercise capacity. Just this morning I saw a new info-mercial fitness product that was nothing more than one of those mini trampolines with a fancy name. I changed channels before I saw the asking price, but I can well imagine it'd be more cost effective to go buy a mini trampoline from the nearest sporting goods store than ordering the product I saw (of course, then you don't get the all important workout video, from the as before unknown fitness expert, showing you what exercises to do with your new workout equipment ).
