I can't even recall how I came across this video. It reminds me of the old vibrating belts that were quite accepted:
In a way, some of it makes sense to increase circulation, but there's no way these people got as fit as they did using JUST this device. I can agree it would cause muscle confusion, and doing squats on them or planks or pushups might be interesting. Maybe lunges.
But what you're getting is increased blood flow, you're not building muscle. That part of the commercial is misleading.
It seems like everything that goes around comes around.

There used to be a trend called the California Workout (because anything with California in the title is a sure way to separate women from their money).
They were tables one would lay upon with a bunch of wooden rollers and they would move while you "relaxed" on them. Think of laying upon rolling pins. The machine would move your body into the exercise position.
The "thought" (cough) was that the body doesn't realize if you're making it do the movement, or the machine is making you go through the movement. Uh huh. Uh huh.
This was the only one I could find, but they did exist.

I've bought things like that that are supposed to tone you but not that kind.
That reminds me of rollerblading. I went once recently, but it's been raining every other chance I get. I was dripping sweat in like 5 minutes.
I want to get one of these and there's one kind where you sit on it and swivel.
I depend heavily on the ability to take somewhat longer walks than most people and to jog for 1/2 hour, though my legs have been hurting anyway.
I have this DVD that includes 2 12 minute workouts, too.
Eating a good meal with lots of vegetation got me thin overnight, too, the other day. The working out also helps and if you consider walking a legitimate "workout."
I was thinking of bowling, too, like my grandma suggested, to be social, but I may not have the money now.
