Forgot to say I will not be ordering one of these as I have several exercise gadgets with the bands that can achieve the same results if you use them!

Save your money and just grab a bath towel or broom handle or yardstick and you can easily perform that move she demonstrated for her arms.

I saw her on the NutraSystem segment briefly and thought she looked great! Whatever she's doing is working for her.

I thought it looked familiar and then thought she's back hawking another something because her dolls are no longer being sold.

Then, she drags out husband number what? I think it is #3 or more ala. Suzanne Sommers but at least she and her husband have been together for years.

Of course Marie Osmond then promotes her show in Las Vegas. I really outgrew my liking for the Osmonds years ago and just hope she pays income tax on all the free publicity she is apparently seeking once again to revive her career as she ages.

That is her first husband that she remarried a few years ago. And, by the way, when she remarried him a few years back, she wore the exact gown that she wore back when she first married him many years ago. Wish I could still fit into my wedding gown. I think that she and her husband were great together yesterday. And I don't think that she needs to worry about her career as her show is one of the top shows in Las Vegas. And , as far as her aging, I think that she's aging pretty well. Geez, why all the hate for Marie?

I got one for my husband to work. Also I liked some of the excerciises with it. Marie's life has had challenges, she always has a positive attitude

That is her first and current hubby. She looks pretty good and so does he.

A bath towel or broom handle or yardstick does not provide the weight needed to really work unless all you want is a slight stretch and not much toning unless you attach weights to them in some way. I guess for anyone who does nothing now it's an improvement but...

I bought Tony's for $29.95 and it was worth every penny. Tony is known for exercise and other things in that industry. Marie? Not in the exercise world I've lived for decades now. I'll stick with Tony as in the past and have yet been disappointed in any of his devices/equipment I have purchased.

I think the Tony Little version is a better buy. It's a more complete package then what Marie is selling:

Get a full body workout anywhere! No need to struggle with bulky weights or heavy equipment using this portable, lightweight exerciser. The 3-piece padded bar with resistance cords is easy to assemble and store for use at home or on the road.

What You Get

Easy Shaper Pro Bar
2 Sets of resistance cords
47-page exercise and nutrition guide
5 Personal Trainer workout DVDs
User Guide and Workout chart
1-year VIP Personal Trainer Membership Card
Carrying/storage bag
Owner's manual
Manufacturer's 90-day limited warranty

I've been wanting one of these for when I travel so I will be purchasing Tony's.

Exercise bar?

I just watched the video of Marie and Steve presenting this. I'm not much for excercise but I'm such a fan of Marie's that I wanted to watch anyway. I thought she looked good and it was fun to see her husband with her. I was happy to see that it sold out. I sure do miss her doll shows.

I think she's a sweetheart, and been through some tough stuff .

I like Marie also but I pretty much stick with people in that live their business and Tony, as far as I know, doesn't work in the music industry or use a lot of his time researching and developing products for that industry.

Followed most of his career in both body building and a business man. He works with manufacturers and engineers that know what will work well and stay together when used hard for it's correct purposes.Hmmm! Been through some tough stuff, some being the life choices she made. If going or having been through some rough times equals business success? I'm thinking!!! Aha

Hi John! I have been using Tony's bar for many years,I am on my second one! I have a spare in a closet as I never want to be without it.

Yes, this is the same as the Greer bar (only that one didn't have the black straps you can put on your feet/ankles). I have one but haven't used it in years, but after watching Marie's video on this, think I will dust it off and try it out again. Glad Marie didn't suggest the breathing part that Greer used to do as that always seemed kind of silly to me.

I got this today, not to happy with it just seems cheap! I taught the bars would be metal are hard plastic . I'll think about this.

Re: Marie Osmond's new exercise bar -

TootyJane — Fri, 06 Jun 2014 03:31:23 GMT

I bought a similar exercise bar years ago. One good thing about Marie's is the fact that it is easy to break down for traveling.

Tony's bar is solid heavy metal and comes apart as well.
