In this day and age weight loss and shaping your body seems to be an important issue. Not only for health reasons but feeling better about the way your body looks is great for the self esteem. A few months ago while watching a TV infomercial advertising "The Bean" I decided to buy one and see if the 
y were all that they claimed to be.
When the package arrived in the mail I hurriedly opened the box to view the contents. Inside were, The Bean, a small foot pump for inflation, a Weight Loss and Body Shaping Guide, The Bean Instructional Guide, a workout DVD and an exercise chart. As I wanted to try it out right away I proceeded to hook up the foot pump to inflate The Bean. By the time I got it half way pumped up I abandoned the manual pump and used vacuum cleaner in reverse. I decided I wanted to have a leg left to exercise with and the vacuum was much faster. You just have to be careful not to over inflate as it pumps up much faster and with more force this way.
To be on the safe side I sat down and looked through all of the literature that came with it before doing any exercises. The Weight Loss and Body Shaping Guide proved interesting and educational. It included a weight loss informational test, health and activity test, calorie intake equations, portion control information, calorie chart and a 15 week measurement chart, so that you can chart your progress. All of which got you thinking about the reason you had purchased The Bean and gave you the inspiration to start using it.
The instructional guide that was also in the box pointed out the return policy, warranty information, important safeguards and how to inflate The Bean. It also had a section on using The Bean, everything from getting on and off of it to other options such as using free weights with it. I found the pages on back pain and strengthening to be very helpful.
