Today we see all kinds of specialty chairs from the ergonomic to the ultra-modern. When I first heard about the Hula Chair—AKA “The Hula Machine” I said you can’t be serious! No way would somebody invent such a thing. Just leave it to Gadget Universe to get you sedentary sloth’s in shape all while sitting down watching TV! But being The Muscleman of Technology is a sucker for any type of health or fitness machine I just had to order one and see for myself!

My Hula Chair shipped beautifully packaged, is simple to assemble, and no tools required. It’s a most impressive looking chair with substantial thick cherry wood arm rests. I said forget the instructions, and turned the crazy thing on…whoaaa. Step one, turn down the default speed of “3” to “1” until you get the hang of it (it took me just a few minutes to get into the groove). NOTE: Keep your feet planted firmly on the ground unless you want a thrill ride! It automatically turns from clockwise to counter-clockwise in about a minute. You can specify the time and speed (up to 20 minutes) and I’m all shook up just thinking about it! The Hula Chair is a unique piece of exercise equipment that works as advertised…emulating the standing hoola-hoop motion while seated!
