You may have seen the Rhythm Rocker by Kymaro<\/a>\u00a0advertised\u00a0and promoted by some of the uber-fit\u00a0pros from “Dancing with\u00a0the\u00a0Stars”,\u00a0and have wondered if this\u00a0fairly innovative fitness tool (which comes with a DVD set) is really the key to a\u00a0trim and sexy\u00a0dancer’s\u00a0body.\u00a0After trying this thing out for a while, I can assure you … it is not. However, it is not a “bad” or “worthless” tool either. It’s somewhere in the middle and if you’re interested, I’ll continue to share\u00a0my professional opinion.<\/p>\n

People who are incredibly fit\u00a0will suffer great mental anguish\u00a0while using the Rhythm Rocker. I only say this, because it requires little strength, stamina or flexibility and the moves are pretty redundant. Even during the “Unleash the Dancer in You!” DVD when the instructor Jennifer Galardi yells “whoo – this is hard cardio” …\u00a0it’s not. It’s just simply not hard at all. So if you’re a person who is accustomed to being challenged, then stick with P90X, Insanity or something else like it.<\/p>\n

Having said that, the Rhythm Rocker would be\u00a0WONDERFUL for beginners and\u00a0those with medical problems like\u00a0painful joints or respiratory issues, as all of the DVD workouts are mild and are spent sitting down. The moves are simple and actually provide a pleasant lower back stretch too. The instructor is friendly, clear with her instructions, and\u00a0offers an enjoyable\u00a0exercise routine for someone who’s been struggling with the standard stuff like walking, running, weight lifting\u00a0or dancing.<\/p>\n

To sum it up, this tool is definitely pretty neat, but expectations on it have to be reasonable or\u00a0consumers will be aggravated. In fact, if my Mom didn’t have particular issues with her spine, I’d buy one for her too.<\/p>\n

Who’s it for?<\/strong> Beginners, seniors or people with joint weakness or pain.<\/p>\n

Who shouldn’t get it?<\/strong> People with moderate to advanced fitness levels.<\/p>\n

The Rhythm Rocker and a set of 3 DVDs retails for $99.99. Visit UBuyEZ.com<\/a> to buy one.
