Erm why?

Why don't you just go to a plant hire shop and hire one for the weekend. But i borrowed one from my neighbour it did a great job. He had one for doing his patio

I suggest that you get lot's of busty unsupported women to try it out in a similar way to that satisfaction video a few years back and watch that will give you a good idea if it's worth it.

got one at my gym.
not that ive been for ages.
its meant to be pretty good.
ur muscles work big time against it.
just remember the instructor mentioned that a min on it was worth like a zillon mins on other stuff.
think its like some form of resistance training.

its like going from standing on a road bike going down a hill - nice and smooth and vibration free
to standing on a non-suspension mountain bike off road on stones going down a hill - all the vibrations really work ur thighs.

cool to watch babes on it too...

I can beat that.....

Buy an old S1 and spend all your time jacking it up and down, pulling undertrays off it, humping around coolant and oils, pushing it onto tow trucks, dragging it out of ditches, working the "non servo" brakes, battering fcuk out of CRP bolts to get them out for the MOT and do the contortionist bit trying to get the roof on or off in a hurry.

You will soon work off that lard big boy

its not a scam and I'm sure it works, used it a few times to try to ease an inner thigh strain!!!

did help but rattled my teeth and made my vision blurry (temporary)

great for squats/ski training not sure about all the other excercise routines

It's the kind of thing that will gather dust in your garage after a couple of months. Don't do it.

But would they notice when you got off, the device that is.

Would a bed of dildos not be cheaper?
