No, The Hawaii Chair is Not Dumb at All
October 26th, 2007 Paul Lucas
Sure, I previously wrote that the Hawaii Chair and other electric hula chairs were in line to become the next stupid exercise gimmick, but after seeing the infomercial again I have now decided to change my mind and declare that the Hawaii Chair is not dumb at all.
The Hawaii Chair promises to “take the work out of your workout” for a “slimmer, sexier you.” So now all those Quacker Factory fans can stuff their faces with Eskimo pies, watch cubic zirconias on QVC, and end up looking at hot as a Playboy centerfold.
And I have no doubt that the Hawaii Chair will not end up collecting dust in the back of a closet or corner of a garage along with the Ab Roller, AbTronic, Ab Lounge, Slendertone Ab Belt, and Red Exerciser—because, after all, those things were just gimmicks.
Also, using the Hawaii Chair won’t make you look like a fool at all. Check out the Hawaii Chair in action:
Yes, that Hawaii Chair will be a real boon to productivity at work. It seems like something that Dwight Schrute from The Office would endorse.
The Hawaii Chair also has a snappy jingle:
Take the work out of your workout…The Hawaii Chair
If you can sit, you can get fit…The Hawaii Chair
You gotta love an infomercial with a jingle that explains the product—much in the same way the theme songs for The Brady Bunch and The Beverly Hillbillies explain their premises.
By the way, did I mention that the Hawaii Chair is not a dumb exercise gadget at all.

Oh Dear… you know not what you speak. I just bought a Hawaii Chair and I am sold on it. It gets you moving in your 2nd chakra area and actually is a lot of work.
Sure the motor does a lot of work, but that some important help for us western fatties. I have spent so much time sitting, and being stressed out, which has helped put flab on my abs. I just want to feel good and be healthy and I really think this chair will help. After twenty minutes I definately work up a sweat. The office examples are pretty silly. With the chair’s movement, the person must hold their core still, and its pretty intense. I had to work up from once a day to now twice a day. I am telling all my friends about it.
Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it!

Hey, regardless of how little work it takes, if it forces you to loosen up (both literally and emotionally) then it can’t be bad. No way you’ll get any work done on it though, probably harder than a swiss ball to focus on.

I burst out laughing when I saw the examples of how you could use the Hawaii Chair at Work! Could you imaging dropping a file on the floor, bending over in your chair to pick it up and having the chair “hula” your head into the desk non stop until you fall off of it … BAM BAM BAM!
You’d need a new Jingle.

Hi,
I just purchased a Hawaii chair off Ebay. Haven’t used it long enough to see if it will reduce the waist line. However, I had it at work the other day and the laughs and entertainment we got out of it was well worth it. If nothing else, it’s a great stress reliever in the workplace. Everyone should have one just for the chuckles, if you can get it cheap enough.
Here’s hoping it works as it claims. Will keep you posted.

Were you able to get any productive work done while using the chair, like they show in the infomercial?

The hawaii chair work! , but you won’t get any work done when using at your office, nor to read a book.
My mother (52 year old) tried and lost 10 lbs and no more back pain. Same with my grandmother (78 year old). It works if you really try and be patient.
