 Flybar 800 I love this thing. It's the most fun I've ever had getting real aerobic exercise. If you used a pogo-stick as a kid, then you'll be a natural on the FlyBar. Even if you didn't pogo in childhood, it only takes a few hours to learn the basics and start to fly!

Doctor Kim Manwaring of Arizona has established that a good pogo stick is "a serious health maintenance tool." This kind of workout is possibly the best way to "lower circulating cholesterol and triglyceride levels, assist in the rehabilitation of a heart problem, promote tissue repair, improve balance, increase capacity for respiration and improve muscle-to-fat ratio." Wow!
Dr. Manwaring keeps healthy by doing 1,000 jumps on his pogo stick every day, in four sets of 250 jumps each.
For people who watch television for four hours a day (as most people do), then using a pogo stick only during the commercials would help tone their bodies and get their weight under control, according to Dr. Manwaring.
I use the FlyBar in my daily exercises, and I can definitely feel the benefit! My kids think I'm the coolest dad on the block too!
We know that not all Flybar users want to do barspins, backflips, and jump 5' in the air, but it's nice to know that you could, if you really really wanted to. But simply jumping up and down is still a highly aerobic way to get into shape. The FlyBar is easy to learn, a whole lot of fun, and darn good for you too. Get one!
