Malibu Pilates Chair Infomercial - is this for real?

PrairieRoseNE

Hi, I was up late watching tv and I saw an infomercial for a Malibu Pilates Chair, advertised by Susan Lucci.

Does anyone have one and what do you think of it??

I've lost 43.5 pounds and now I need to tone up - and I can't afford to go to the gym to lift weights - so I do stuff at home with simple hand weights and resistance bands - but it isn't making much of a difference. Would I benefit from the Pilates Chair??

Any advice or comments will be appreciated - either pro or con.

Thanks

There are some awesome free Pilates videos out there--I have done Pilates frequently in the past, and I've had just as much success with simple mat Pilates (where you're just on a mat doing the exercises) versus paying for pricey equipment and training sessions.

For Pilates I like:

Good luck!
