saw this rocker Wave type gadget at Kmart

did anyone see this at Kmart?

i didn't write down the name, but i *think* the mfr is Wieder. i tried searching using the terms Wieder, rocker, etc.

anyway, it's some sort of balance trainer and much more compact than the Firm Wave.

it looked to be made of metal & you rock from side to side. it's "D" shaped, similar to the Firm Wave, where the arc part rocks from side to side on the floor.

hi - thanks for your reply!

i looked up bodirocker on amazon, but it's narrower than that. your bodirocker, though, seems more versatile because the wideness allows you to work your upper body.

the one i saw in kmart seems to only show someone using it while standing on it.

How much is it? do you think it can be used for The Firm Wave dvds? I have the dvds, but not the wave. Thanks!

I just did a search online at Kmart and I think it might be the Weider rock-n-step, from your description.

YES, that's it!!!!

thanks Ms BeatChica!!! been so busy this week and hadn't gone back to kmart.

Apparently, Tony Little's name was attached to the exact same product, and here's some reviews on Amazon.

And Tony even put out some DVDs too - Amazon link.

here's more reviews that are more objective of the same product w/o Tony's name associated with it:
Amazon - the Roll Stepper

it looks fun, but i'm not sure i'd want to pay $60 for it at Kmart.

I purchased this Tony Little stepper at Walmart.com. It was a great deal at $19. Just noticed it's out of stock but maybe they'll get more.
I really enjoy it and have used it pretty consistently. It's easy to step/rock/whatever on it while watching TV...I've even put it in my kitchen to use while making dinner.
Plus, I really like ordering from Walmart.com because they ship free to the store, and then there are less packages of fitness stuff being delivered to my house. Soooooo, my husband doesn't see everything I'm ordering...they have a really good selection of fitness dvds too.
