The bean exerciser is a piece of equipment that has gained popularity over the last few years. It is similar to an exercise ball, except it is literally shaped like a bean. They claim that this allows a person to do abs exercise without neck and back pain.
The Benefits of the Bean...
To me, the bean works similarly to an exercise ball. Exercising with a ball is one my favorite ways to exercise my abs. If you haven't taken advantage yet, take a look at my free fitness ball exercise routine.
The benefit I see to the bean is that if you do suffer from neck or lower back pain that it will give your spine more support. However, I think for the most part, most people will be able to get what they need from an exercise ball.
The Verdict?
I like the concept of the bean. But, I don't think it's necessary for everyone to pay the $50 for it when they can get a good exercise ball for $20. However, if you have history of neck and back pain, the bean may be exactly what you need to continue doing exercises without aggravating your symptoms.
Plus, they offer a 100% money back guarantee and a lifetime warranty, so you really can't go wrong.
