Not what I wanted:
It is what it says it is, but I thought it was soft on top. You have to be on a hard surface for it to work, and who wants to work out in the kitchen. I don't think it's all it's cracked up to be.

Good if you lack space!:
I purchased this board for those days when I just don't feel like getting on the boring treadmill or glider and would rather watch tv. This way I can just take it out from under my bed, turn on the the television and have a fairly easy workout. If you don't have room for huge pieces of gym equipment, this would be great for you. I agree with the people here who said that it would be improved by adding on a couple inches to the diameter. It's a bit small. I can definitely feel the burn in my abs, but mostly on my sides (as someone else mentioned). At times I also squat down a bit while twisting, working out my thighs as well as my stomach. Although it's probably not a complete substitute for a good cardio workout, it's definitely a nice addition to any workout routine. I'd recommend it.

This board is great! I use it at home and at work. It was easier balancing on the board with three pound weights in my hands. After a few weeks I have noticed my pants are looser around the waistline. Would recommend this product.

Overview of twister:
Approximately 40 years ago, I sold twist boards out of my home. They were first introduced at a Home and Garden Show here in Toledo, Ohio. They were either circular or square with the under carriage showing the ball bearings (i.e., couldn't use either side, only the one). With this twist board I just purchased, the only thing I would suggest is that it should be made larger....at least a couple to three inches larger. I don't have large feet and just am able to fit on the board, but with someone larger, their feet would hang off. Love the board, have used it before, especially to the 50's rock and roll music. Marvelous workout for not only the waistline, but quads get a good workout along with it being a cardio workout. Love the board, but make it larger. Thank you, Pat.............

Good deal for the price!:
I am really enjoying this product. Fun!! I remember using something like this when I was a kid that belonged to my mother. It was so much fun, I bought my 6-year-old daughter one for Christmas too. Definitely worth the price. Some reviewers complained about different things, but for the price..... Part of the workout is trying to keep yourself facing one direction to work your body equally. If you're ending up facing a different direction, you're working one side of your body harder than the other.
