The Everlast for Her Pilates Twist Board with Resistance Tubing.

I have never been a big fan of the gym atmosphere – I prefer to exercise in the comfort and privacy of my own home. So, I am always on the lookout for any piece of equipment that will help me tone and that won’t occupy too much space in my tiny studio apartment.

When I first saw the Everlast Twist Board, my first thoughts were, “What a fun-looking thing!”

But I also thought, “I wonder if it works?” Many of the reviews on Amazon mentioned how fun the twist board is, but only a few made reference to noticeable, effective results.

According to Everlast, the twist board with resistance tubing supposedly strengthens your deltoids, triceps, obliques, inner thighs, hips, calves, biceps, back, and shoulders. Sounds like a complete workout, huh?

Well, I decided to give it a try and ordered one earlier this week – for $10.96, there isn’t much to lose – and it just arrived today! So far, I’ve spent about 15 fun minutes twisting on it and only did a few lateral raises, but I can feel my upper body ache already. A good sign, perhaps?

I have to say, I love being able to feel active instead of sitting on my bum while watching television. One piece of advice, though: This twist board may be a bit small for larger persons. I am 5′0″ and I wear size 5 shoes, so the board’s diameter is perfect for me.

Anyway, I’m planning to use the twist board at least four times per week… After a month or so, I’ll post my results here, so check back soon!

(If you own/use a twist board, please feel free to leave me your comments below! I would love to hear from you.)
