I LMAO at Ellen and the audience member trying the chairs out. That's one wild ride!

Those were two pretty fit women and they couldn't control their movements; I'm skeptical Marion, so puleeeez be careful.

Oh, and Kick?? You're not old either, b/c wer'e the same age and that would make me *gasp* older too!

I look good FOR my age. Is that a back-handed compliment or what? FOR my age.

Wow, that's amazing. I'd never heard of a Hula chair before. Thanks for the videos.

Does it have a seatbelt? I would worry about falling off. I'd also worry about my neck and back getting wrenched around while riding that chair. It reminds me of a carnival ride, like a tilt-a-whirl.

I think some sort of exercise like Pilates would be safer and more effective.

If you get it, please let us know how you do with it. Maybe you will get a lot of good exercise from the chair. Just be careful with it!

That chair looks like a ton of fun, but like the tester in the video showed, pretty difficult to work while sitting on one.

I was a little concerned for just a split second when the man said
"I can really feel it on my a---." I was much relieved after realizing he said "abs". Phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The man was talking Finance and bad assets. DH heard bad-a**es and figured that was their answer to economy. It could work....

Wow! Let us kow how that thing works for you. Please be careful. It looks like it could send you soaring to the skies! LOL

I think I am in fairly good shape but I know for a fact I could not do that chair. Although it looks like you can get a good cardio workout! Ellen sure was out of breath. lol
