My dad invested in this product and owns 15%... It's called Stretch A Minute or SAM. He also built the timing system inside of it. Also that is my Sister in the video that is performing the exercises haha. No sis comments though .

Think it will sell?

yup... $59... I think they've sold 100 or so .. so far... seems a lot of people want it for injury rehab. It does wonders for the back and overall stretching. They seem to want to hit the AB market though.

I didn't have the volume up very high (gf is sleeping near me), and I have to say, I had no idea why it was worth anything by just watching the video. I finally figured out at the end that it has a timer.

IMO, at this point, who gives a crap how good the product is, get yourself an infomercial and a marketing guru, and get rich.

Sister looking good though!

i guess i'll have to echo some of the other comments.

my concern is that the product probably won't be useable to the average consumer who is obese and out-of-shape. i'd market it to fitness clubs and get them to make a class out of it.
