They are quite expensive, true but they are unique. I just found a Thasit second hand for around 200 $. But then again, I live very close to Norway, where they are produced, so you see them quite often around here... hope your back improves (my problem too). By the way, that inflatable sitting pillow thing, where did you get that?

It is a very good idea for a lot of people, but only for a while. It isn't something you'd want to do forever, but is a good idea when combined with exercise to get results.<BR/><BR/>5BX definitely is the real deal, it has a proven track record. I personally do not see how anyone could think any of the exercises in it are harmful. The only one might be the way they tell you to do situps, which is the old way. That's it. Everything else is cool. Do situps the modern way, work through the charts step by step, don't skip a day, and stick to a sensible diet and you'll see results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
