The Hawaii Chair

This has to be one of the stupidest and most hilarious workout devices invented.
The Hawaii Chair claims it will provide a "complete fat burning aerobic workout". I swear the people in the infomercial are struggling to keep a straight face.
It's a chair with a motor strapped beneath it. The base of the chair gyrates you around as you attempt to go about your business (yes the screen-cap to the right shows a guy trying read a book while wiggling around on his Hawaii Chair).
You can get it for $293.96 from Perfect USA.
For a reality check see Ellen have a shot at sitting on one.

omg that is hilarious! They really can barely keep a straight face
ReplyDo you 2x the results if you are wearing the "diet shoes"?
ReplySo much time must have gone into planning this thing. I'm really quite blown away that people can be so lazy as to buy it - maybe they don't. Seems like a lot of work though to design and build this and find out that you'll have to build a vibrating book holder to go with it. On the other hand, it may be good for those who can't exercise in normal ways. I'm guessing now...
ReplyOh man, I saw this on Ellen the other day and I just about fell out of my chair laughing!! It looks like a mechanical bull crossed with a swivel chair. I wonder if it really does work your abs or if it just makes you look like an idiot. I kind of want to get one just to have at parties to see what happens when people get kind of drunk and try it out. It could be very entertaining :)
Replyi thought that was some kind of spoof. it can't be for real. wtf?
Replyi think this chair's amazing for abs ""its also great to add some diffrent typ for our exsercise routine i wish the gym i go to have somthin like that
ReplyLOL
omg my boss is having a meeting in the conference room next to my desk and i'm having a REALLLLY hard time not laughing my ass off...
ReplyMy stomach muscles hurt from laughing at Ellen in that chair!
ReplyCompletely hysterical!!
It reminds me of being stuck on the phone and having to get to the bathroom.
ReplyI must say Ellen seemed a bit winded, perhaps the aerobic effect must include lots of laughter.
I don't think this will lose you any weight, but it looks like it could strengthen abdominal muscles. I say this as someone who's sister-in-law has one of those horse-riding machines, and those suckers can really make your tummy sore the next day.
ReplyThis might actually work. You won't get strong, but should build endurance, with some hypertrophy and tightening of the muscles as well.
ReplyOk, Kailash are you intentionally being dense?
ReplyAnd who is paying for your damaged backbone???
ReplyNote the the upper body is kept erect. The core muscles have to fire in every direction to maintain this posture. Who's the one being dense?
I'm not saying this is the best workout, but it would work. Especially if one scrapped the arm rests and the back of the chair.
ReplyROFLMAO!!!! Ellen cracks me up every time, but this is hilarious. I don't know how those people kept a straight face--they must be getting paid, this can't be real.
