Hi and welcome!
Although I'm sure that by now you know that we're glad you're here ... I just wanted to pop in and add my welcome and my 2 cents worth on exercise thingees.
I kinda like them. Provided you can afford them, there's nothing wrong with having a few gadgets around. Being able to pick and choose what you'd like to do today can help keep exercise fresh and fun. That's important!
Lots of us have balls and dumbells and bands and steps ... it is fun.
Here is a link to the 3FC forum that talks about new things ... diets, exercise equipment, and so on. You could have a read there.

Also ... when you get your leg magic, you could let us know what you think.
