Has Anybody Tried This Thing?

It's isometric exercises...and yes they do work...the problem with them is that you must, must, must do it every day...it seems that isometric exercise doesn't build muscle as much as it tones the ones you have. In order to keep a good muscle shape, you have to build them...I found the one for the face very amusing...it's worth the try. I'm the sort of person that tries everything...but stick to nothing....I think this time around I'm just going to do the gym.

Tai Chi, yoga, and pliates are all isometric based. Yeah they work to a degree, they can tone, develop core muscles, and help to strengthen muscles. Isometrics don't really calssify as cardio but they do raise the heart rate somewhat, and are good for you. I wouldn't suggest doing them and nothing else, but they are a good part of the plan. I try to do yoga 2 to 3 times a week along with my running and weight training.

Hi there, I don't know anything about shapely secrets (never seen the infomercial)...but there was a woman about 10 years ago or so (I think she is still around) that had an "exersise tape" out that there was no excersise.......it was these very bizarre breathing techniques and sounds.....anyways my room mate at the time had bought it and we were using it and felt utterly ridiculous lol......so we didn't last long doing it ......for me personally I just dont' beleive there is a way to excersise to lose weight without movement, higher heart rate etc.........I wish there was an easier way but I just dont' think there is.....if you try it let us know what your results are....

is that the one were you do the lion face, i think its called, my mom borrowed that from my aunt once when i was like 11 or 12, (wow that was 10years ago, i'm getting old :laugh: ) she made me try it w/ her but i think we spent most of the time rolling on the floor laughing, mimicing the funny noises she made. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: makes me laugh just thinking about it.

i remember it so well ........ you got down on all fours on the floor........... stuck your head up ........... then you stuck your chin out kind of like if you were purposely giving yourself a underbight .............. then you make these funny noises .........

*laughing about the thought of doing it again* ........ just talking to my husband ...... he wanted to know why was laughing so hard ...... i was telling him the story and he said his mom had the same tape and he would sit there and make fun of her....... until he started to realise that it actually worked. hey if it works for you and you can keep a straight face then go for it, me i would spend most of my time not laughing.......

YES that is the one ........she was a tall woman mabey in her 40's with long blond hair......and i remember you had to get on your hands and knees and and do these bizzare breathing excersises that came from deep in your diaphram and it was hilarious .......my friend and i laughed so hard, we had to stop lol.......but ya that was probably more than 10 years ago now......wow ......

You guys are talking about BodyFlex!! Greer Childers and she was over 50 at that time. She is now over 60 and she looks amazing....and yes....Shapely Secrets is the newest development in her line. It really does work.....looking at how young she looks would make me take it seriously...I actually pulled the tapes out (yes I got them when I was 18...yes 10 years ago) but I'm far too self conscience. Maybe when I get thinner I won't feel so silly.

I've used her BodyFlex tape (Oh God, it was a tape, not a dvd...what does that tell you...?!) and I loved it. If you can get over feeling ridiculous and the horrible 'paaaaaah' noises you make it really is great. It obviously doesn't do much to get your heart-rate up but it shows results, and fast!

And PS... the Lion is a legit Yoga Pose... but I still think it looks silly (though stretching the facial muscles does have it's benefits)
