Does anyone have the bean? Does it work? Is it durable?

My husband purchased the Bean from the tv info-mercial.
If used, it works great.
He uses it more as a lounge chair, it seems to me.

I've used it to do sit ups, as it's great for cradling your back, instead of lying on a flat, hard floor.

Some of the exercises on the video are a little weird, until you master balancing yourself on the Bean.

Yes, it is very durable and compared to other yoga-ish balls it is also about the same price. (I sit on a yoga ball at work instead of an office chair--works great for the core muscles.)
I do a more restricted Program to maintain my weight & health. I have been McDougalling for about 30 years, with a long transition, until I finally accepted this lifestyle, stayed on Program and reached my goal back in 2006.
