Figure Trimmer Ab Twister Board for Exercise Waist Twisting Disc Acupressure Nodes

This little device provides a much better workout than I expected. I'm a former fitness trainer who was looking for something that would supplement my stationary bike for light indoor cardio on those days I can't get to the gym or out for a walk. I also wanted something that was quiet enough not to disturb my downstairs neighbor (it makes just a bit of noise when used on hardwood floors, but it's quiet enough when used on carpet), and I found that I can get a pretty decent little workout on this disc. The instructions that came with the disc suggest placing it within reach of a counter/tabletop for support, but except for using it the first time, I don't think that's necessary for those who have no problems with balance or other infirmities. In fact, I make sure I use an area with lots of clear space, as having plenty of room for your arms to swing will help keep your momentum and balance and give you a better workout. And if you find yourself starting to turn too much in one direction, putting equal turning pressure on both feet and keeping your arm movements as equal as possible will help keep you twisting in a more or less centered fashion. I first tried stepping on the disc with bare feet (size 8, a good fit for the disc), but the nodules were hard and a bit uncomfortable, so I put on a pair of thin flip-flops, which added the perfect amount of cushion. When using the disc, I just make sure that my abdominal muscles are engaged to support my back, then I try a variety of movements for a more interesting and varied workout. It's fun trying different degrees of bent knee positions/foot placement (in as much as the size of the disc allows for changing your foot placement) as well as different arm movements. You can drive the movement using primarily your legs or arms or both at the same time. I found that standing straight upright with barely softened knees and arms "paddling" straight down provided more of a workout for my abs and took the emphasis off my quads, which already get plenty worked out on my stationary bike. Using a pole or chair-back for support, you can also try placing your weight mostly on your heels to get a better workout for your glutes. I was amazed that even though I'm fairly fit, the day after I first tried the disc (in a bent-knee position, using mostly my legs to drive the movement), I really felt it in my quads, especially in the inner thigh area just above the knee. And after a few days, I've found that my posture, whether sitting, standing or walking, is much improved -- an unexpected added benefit, but I guess that means it's helping to strengthen my core, even though I haven't really felt my abs getting much of a workout. I bought this primarily just to get myself moving and off the sofa while watching television, but it's fun discovering just how versatile a workout it can provide with a few small changes in body position/movement. It seems sturdily constructed and I think it offers excellent value. To sum up, it's easy and addictive, and provides an effective little cardio workout. And when used with light weights or a 3 lb.-6 lb. medicine ball, it really targets your core.

I recently started using the Core Abs Twister Board, and it’s quickly become a favorite in my fitness routine! This waist sculptor twister board is fantastic for engaging my core and abs while adding variety to my workouts. The design is easy to use, and I love how it encourages me to twist and turn, which not only helps in toning my waist but also provides a fun way to stay active. The added feature of the 8 magnets for reflexology is a delightful bonus, providing a soothing effect on my feet while I work out. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my core strength and stability since I started incorporating this board into my routine. It’s lightweight and easy to store, making it perfect for home workouts. Overall, I highly recommend the Core Abs Twister Board to anyone looking to enhance their fitness journey. It’s an enjoyable and effective tool for slimming workouts that really delivers results!

At 5'9" and...Well I'm ashamed to admit just how much I weigh here in public, but let's just say over 200, and leave it at that. Suffice to say that I'm too damned fat to do any 'real' exercise that's not going to kill my knees - something I'm already prone to. So I'm thinking this little device will help kickstart my weight loss. Maybe I do this for a few weeks, lose 3 -5 pounds, and that might be enough to allow me to get on the treadmill. Basically, I need to ease my way back into the groove. I can tell you that after an initial 5 minute workout, it works. I definitely felt the burn in my abs and lower back, and even a little bit in my thighs. My size 11 1/2 feet do go over the edge a little bit, but I'm able to stand on it well enough that I don't feel like I'm going to fall off. My feet are far too big to go on the outlines, but that's ok. I was able to exercise barefoot for no problems, but as I (hopefully) get fitter, I'm not sure I'll be able to withstand thirty minutes barefoot on the thing. So if you're looking for a good starter to device to help you jumpstart a weight loss plan, this might be what you're looking for.

Good quality, good price, works exactly as advertised. Would buy again

Brought to work to use at my standing desks easy to use, easy to tuck away when not in use. Moves quietly and comfortably with sneakers or rubbed soled shoe. Perfect to help keep stretched after sitting for long periods.

It’s a good product for the money. When you find your balance you can get the speed to go fast or at a slower rate depending on what you like. I’m about 240 and it handled my weight just fine so it’s pretty sturdy. I did not like the amount of noise that it created though and it was not very comfortable on my feet. It definitely does work you start to feel it working on your abs almost instantly.

I'm 115lbs, size 5.5 Women's shoe. I enjoy using this in front of the tv or while I'm listening to music. Sometimes the top plate of the spinner feels a bit too flexible, and I wonder at might wait if it's about to crack or break. It hasn't yet, but it does make me question the durabilty. It makes a light scraping noise when in use, but it's quiet enough not to be disruptive. I hate the little acupuncture dots for under the feet because they hurt so bad on bare feet. I will be taking the suggestions in the other comments and wear shoes going forward. While we're on feet, there aren't much room for mine and my feet are relatively small. No assembly required. I use this with hand weights, and a feel times I felt like I was leaning, but it's a great test of balance.

Handy and easy to use.
