The Bean....another gimmick?



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I bought The Bean glow up excercise devise. Looks like it would be a great workout for my big ol' hiney. Great for legs, thighs, etc.

Am I a sucker? Anyone buy it, or have used it???

I went and looked it up, I'd never heard of it before. Based on nothing more than a short video clip, it looks like it could work well IF you use it right. It looks like you could easily trick yourself into thinking you were doing something good for yourself, but you really aren't getting any benefit because you aren't doing it correctly. Does that make sense?

Our local TV station did a review of it (Bargain or Ripoff? show)....they gave it a good review. I considered getting one but probably wouldn't make myself get down in the floor.

If you want to see one, you can go to the QVC website........

Ok, I found it it. Target has it for 49.95.

I was actually thinking of buying the AB Lounger.

Anyone have that?

It does look interesting, will you let us know how you do with it? I think I might like to purchase one.

I bought the BEan and I like it!! I can sit on it while I watch TV and do some exercise and not feel like I am doing much but rocking!! Of course there are real exercises they show you how to do, but even the rocking was good for my lower abs...I could feel them working!! I also turn it over and stretch my back muscles and it feels soooo good!:clap2:

Well you convinced me! LOL

I went and watched the video, the back relief when you have it upside down and lay stomach on it, just looks so nice. I could use that right now!!

And to do some stuff while watching tv would be nice.

I'll see how it goes, I just ordered one :(

QVC sells it a little cheaper than most places. I think it's around $45. Of course you still have shipping.

I bought mine from a direct website bean.com or something, it's 49.90 and s&h is free, so probably about the same as qvc.

My daughter has the AB lounge and loves it. AB excersizes without having to vacuum first! It now comes in a model that folds so you can put it away. Hers doesn't fold, so I'd say having it up all the time takes up too much space. I'm going to check out the bean thing though. Since starting to lose weight I'm feeling so much more energetic that I will brave adding in excersize....soon!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
