Rug Runner Pro - new product for balance training

I actually saw this when I clicked on a link for a different product. This looks like it would be fun. I used to love to water ski, so I think it would be fun to use the rope and practice the spins (not that I could do any tricks while skiing). Without the accessories, the movement looks a little like the lateral thigh trainer. Does anyone have one of these?

OMG, I want one of these. It looks like so much fun. I tried to find some reviews on the Pro Rug Runner and there's really no information on the internet. It's basically a rocking platform that really does mimic the Lateral Thigh Trainer's motions - they show folks using it bringing their knees up a good 10-12 inches, so it's not a short easy step like a mini-stepper.

I did find one post from a gal on her blog about how she uses it, it's easier to use than it looks (she uses the ski poles) and she says she finds it pushes her harder than the elliptical. She also says she's seeing improvement in the tone of her inner thigh... warning, the gal posting is a phone sex operator who has a blog :0

The website demonstrates folks using it while doing bicep curls with rubber tubing or dumbbell shoulder raises. Also they use the rocker in a lunge position forward-to-back while doing upper body exercises.

And it comes in pieces for assembly - I guess theoretically you could break it down to take it traveling. Not to mention it might be fairly affordable to ship BACK if you decide you don't want it (they have a 30-day money-back guarantee, they refund costs minus shipping). It also has a 1-year warranty.

How cool is that?

OK, Dawn. I got the Fun Slides first, you can get this one and give us the details!

This looks pretty cool, too. I better stay off VF for a while.

OK- I think I am going to try this out. I am going to get the poles and rope so that I can pretend I am water skiing. The inner-thigh-shrinking comment sold me!

this thing looks like it'd be a flying rip with those poles

suprised it's not caught on more

tigger · 02-27-07, 07:41 PM

I actually ordered this today. Hope it is as fun as it looks!

Rose,
I've been thinking about ordering this but I've been trying to research the company at Better Business Bureau and other consumer places online and I can't seem to find any info on them... it worries me that I can't identify a 'real' company name or location - the email addresses and company listed on the website refer to a marketing firm and a web hosting company...

I know it sounds like a weak excuse, I really should do my VF duty and lead a bandwagon once in a while :rolleyes:

tigger · 02-27-07, 09:58 PM

Uh-oh Dawn, I'm a little scared now

! I emailed the address from the site and asked them when it would ship and if they would send me tracking info. I received a reply within an hour from a guy named Tom saying that it would ship tomorrow and that I should have it by Monday, and that he would send me tracking info tomorrow. I also got one from Paypal telling me that I would be charged for the order.

Hopefully everything will be OK...

tigger - I'm interested in hearing how you like the Rug Runner.

Dawn - I searched the 800 number and found this page - http://thedoorgym.com/ShoppingCartCanada.html At the bottom, it gives this physical address for their "warehouse" 23881 Via Fabricante #523 Mission Viejo, CA 92691
When I search that address I get a company called Cosar International Corp which is in the yellow pages under sporting goods (http://yellowpages.aol.com/sports-an...ds/ca/el-toro/)

Also when I check whois.net - I get this info
