I bought one last summer. I think it's a good idea because it kind of forces you into doing crunches because the piece of equipment you have *paid* for is right in front of you. I used it up until I went to uni but it was too big to take with me/fit in my uni room and I haven't touched it since...eek.

But I'd def recommend one PadFoot. They're good!
