Virtual Knockout

[SuitedSixes]

My ThighMaster, Bowflex, AbRocker, and Gazelle are getting lonely in the shed and I need something new to hang my clothes on. My local "As Seen On Tv" Store has this:

on sale for $60. Has anyone here ever used the Virtual Knockout (http://www.bodychamp.com/VKOmanual01.htm) for exercising or long term dust collection? Feedback?

Man that thing looks lame as hell. Get a heavy bag instead, if you can find some place to hang it and let it swing. Pounding a heavy bag is a fantastic exercise and a ton of fun.

There are also much more expensive things somewhat like this that you can see advertised in martial arts magazines.

Wal-Mart sells boxing stuff. You could prolly get a bag, hands wraps and bag gloves for about $60. If not less. Do that.

When I saw the subject line I thought it was about this comic and got excited...

but, um, exercise equipment is cool, too.
