Jackie Chan Cable Flex

Has anyone seen this infomercial? I saw it this morning. Janet Jones Gretsky helps hawk it. http://www.cyberbrands.com/pub/cableflex.html
Here's a link with more dvds http://directfromtv.com/html/cableflex.html

Other than Janet Jones playing golf and being in The Firm Vol. 2 I hadn't heard of her in a long time.

Interesting kick that Jackie does with that gadget.

That's still around? I bought one years ago, when the Urban Rebounding guy was the spokesperson.

It doesn't have much resistance, and there's not much variety in resistance, and it didn't move very smoothely.

I got rid of it pretty quickly.

This is pretty old! I remember seeing it at Wal-mart on clearance about 2 years ago. Sounds like there's a good reason!

I have one of these and actually it works pretty good ............ for the kids! LOL I bought it for them to use somewhere on clearance, think it was Target for $12. I certainly wouldn't see it as much use for a regular exerciser. But for DD who seems to have the dropsy's at least this isn't going to hurt her and she said "this is hard" I would have to do 50+ reps to even begin to think it was hard. But like I said it works for the kids. Although dropping a few more dumbells on fingers and toes might teach them to hold on a little tighter.

I have it somewhere in my closet. I purchased it several years ago, I believe from HSN. I never got much use of it. I keep saying I am going to donate it since I never use it. It is so old it came with tapes instead of DVDs.

I saw this a few months ago and thought it looked very useful. Then I read the reviews on www.fitnessinfomercialreview.com, which cooled me off right away!

Too bad, I love Jackie Chan.
