have you guys seen THIS

at first i thought - wow thats a cool idea, unitl i looked a little deeper. top weight of 20kg? disappointed.
i suppose it was only a matter of time before they tried invent something that took the claimed the same benefits of barbells and kettlebells and
strongman equipment but with a fluffy, health club friendly image. so much potential in something like that but they missed the ball i think ( however i may invest in a couple if the price is right when i start training children)

could be a laugh - although I have a funny feeling they'll be more expensive than a kettlebell.

Just looks like the latest fad to me. There so much crap on the market these days...

My missus has bought so many pieces of crap it's unreal.

This thing just looks like a yuppies sandbag

I've had a play around with one of these at Leisure Industry Week, think they were next to a vibrating machine. There not that bad really, just a heavy rubbery/plastic thing. If you dropped it on our toe it wouldn't hurt. Really expensive though.
