PJs and general fitness.. Do any good?

[DangerMouse]

When it comes to the PJs claims of 'Provides a cardio-vascular workout' and ' Strengthens and tones the body's core muscles', are they founded?  I understand if you do anything physical enough it will have health benfits, but do these PJs really make you feel fitter?? 

Always an added bonus to shift some flab whilst not having gym staff look at you with a mixture of concern and sheer pity.

Yeah, I'd say the claims are well founded.  I'm a pretty fit guy and even I am tried after 3 ish hours.  I used to do a lot of cycling and I also found that they were working muscles I never knew I had.  All in all I would say that they do as much good as cycling or a similar sport.

I compare the bocking exercise to that of swimming. It uses your arms, shoulders, stomache, back aswell as the obvious exercise in the legs.

I definately feel fitter but im too much of a crazy person to really know the difference.
I run 2 miles daily but when bocking i'd have a hard time running more than a mile.

I'd agree with the stomach and back, but I can't say that I've particuarly used my shoulders or arms much 

Maybe I do use them but don't notice???

I would agree with Locky on this. I have definately felt all of those muscles ache after long sessions on me bocks. If you start to do flips and stuff on them you feel all those muscles and more getting a work out...

i lost a good stone in about a mounth of unregular use... when i was doing it i was talknig to a random Paramedic guy who took my pulse and said that i was way into a really high pulse area (or whatever) he said you must be getting a good Cardiovascular workout! .. and i agreed.. makes you very thursty after about half an hour of constant bouncing!

i feel much fitter thses days and totally support the health benefits of the sport! .. just see for yourself.. after a little bit .. do you breath hevily and do you feel your heart pumping like crazy!? .. well most i talk to do experience this ..
