I've seen a number of interesting classes held at my gym, so I wasn't surprised to hear that belly-dancing and pole dancing/stripping were being used to help trainers spice up boring ab workouts. It makes sense then that the Hula Chair, which blends "traditional Chinese medicine" with modern technology, promises to help you tone your mid-section via its elliptical motion workout

I've actually used the iGallop this year and I can only report back that it definitely had a positive effect on me (though I'm not sure if I laughed the weight off or rode it off). I've never used the Hula Chair, but I've watched the video (see below) and it's the same concept, only it appears to require less focus on not falling off. Please report back if you try it yourself!
