BENDER BALL-- A Real Ab Blaster

I’ve got a weakness for anything that will make toning this old gut easier.  So when I happened on the BENDER BALL on an AS SEEN ON TV ad, I immediately perked up.  When I saw that the theory of “Selective Stabilization” behind it was introduced by Leslee Bender, a fitness guru of 25 years experience, I was really hooked!  Then I found out that the little lady’s class at the YMCA uses it routinely, so it must be good.

This toning product is really nothing more than a nine inch diameter, air filled ball.  You place it under your lower back and do crunches.  Because the ball allows you to go back further, your stomach muscles have to work harder to bring you forward.  This “flex extension” of the lower back requires work from the upper and lower abs as well as the side muscles to bring the upper body forward.  Because of this extra effort, the BENDER BALL  is said to increase the effect of abdominal crunches by a factor of over 400% as compared to the normal ab crunch.

The physiology behind the BENDER BALL makes sense.  In a  traditional crunch exercise, there is no rear flexing of the back...you can only go forward.  However, add the BENDER BALL, and  your exercise becomes an extension back as well as a flexion forward.  Because of this rearward addition, they recommend that you check with your physician to make sure your back can handle it before ordering.  A good idea, especially  if the years have robbed you of some flexibility.

The BENDER BALL comes with either a DVD ($12.99) or VHS ($9.95) instructional tape plus $7.93 shipping and handling.  If that’s where it ended, it would be great.  There are several ordering options, and you get more stuff and/or DVD’s with each option.  It’s really quite confusing.  If you ever get to the “Convenience--Right to your Doorstep” section, you’ll find out that by placing your initial order, you are automatically enrolled in an enhanced DVD program and will receive 2 DVD’s every other month and be charged an additional $19.95 plus $6.95 S & H.  If you’re into exercise DVD’s, go for it!  If not, well I don’t know how to get around this feature up front before you’re sent the first two DVD’s.

The BENDER BALL really is an ab blaster though.  It has received good reviews by users and trainers alike;  a lot of sore abs after use (that my wife can attest to) which is a good thing!   Just make sure your body and back can handle it before ordering.

Uncle Al--A little bit of My Story
Since there may be some out there with nothing better to do than to read my product reviews, I thought I might put a little of me out there for all the world to see.
I retired about 16 years ago after practicing a health science profession for 25 years. We used computers for billing only back then. The hardware and software were not reliable enough to use for complex non-retrievable data; crashes were a weekly occurrence and backups were done at least twice daily. So when I retired, I thought my interaction with computers, although indirect, was over. Boy! Was I mistaken! I mean, what’s an old guy gonna do all day? I tried golf...fun but frustrating! Practice does not lead to perfect in that game! So...I reacquainted myself with the computer. Only this time, on a personal level.
Several years ago, I became fascinated with the products and concepts of “As Seen On TV”. After buying a ton of stuff, most of it useful, my wife said I could provide a worthwhile service by reviewing products and letting the world know my opinion via the internet. I think she suggested it just to give me something else to do besides bother her, but I sorta liked the idea and am giving it a try. I hope ya’ll like what I have to say!

Convert VHS Home Movies to DVD $19.99 Using a step-by-step approach, this book focuses on how the average home user can convert their existing home movies to a digital medium. As DVDs become even more common, the market for transferring VHS movies to DVD is going to soar. This book seeks the “ease of use� appeal of the DVD/VCR by applying it to the typical home computer, and to allow “mass market� readers to not think twice about using their computer to extend the capabilities of their DVD. It recognizes the distinction between a computer as a consumer product versus the ease of use of a typical home appliance, such as a VCR or DVD player, and tries to bridge that gap. Put simply, the goal of the book, then, is on the newly-created DVD: the computer is only the mechanism at which to arrive at this goal. It assists readers in conducting an inventory of their existing hardware (Does their computer have a DVD burner? What video editing software might already be included on their computer?), and serves as a guide to their purchase of any required equipment (external conversion device, external DVD burner, etc.). This book skillfully guides readers from the beginning step to the final step of bringing their "VHS memories" into the digital age-knowledge that is going to become more and more crucial for the average home VHS/DVD owner seeking to save their dust-filled tapes without having to pay others to do it.
