(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.

This is a fun twist board, however it is only 10 inches, not alot of room to stand and twist if you are very big. I can do it, but would be more comfortable if they would add a couple of inches.

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.

This product was great the first month I owned it, but with continued use I saw that without even my trying to go in one direction, it would move on it’s own. Much like how gravity has a tendency to pull your limbs and body in one direction…it felt like I all of a sudden was a lot heavier on my left side. Well, I can’t say I really got much of an effective workout after I discovered I was working harder to not spin in a one directional circle, pretty much counter-productive. I guess I got what I paid for. Although since I had ordered two, I’ve modified my workout to incorporate the both which actually does work. I don’t spin. Not a complete waste of money.

You can get a good twisting motion with this board for your waist. It is a fun and easy to travel with workout. However, the board itself is a bit small for a larger person. Unless you have cat-like balance and yoga poses, it is hard to put both feet on this board.

I suppose it makes for a better exercise. Flexing and working all your muscles to support yourself. Someone needs to make a board with a larger base.
