Although I’m guessing some of you may be familiar with the exercise already :D.

That’s hilarious! I, as a woman, must admit that I’m familiar with that action…

The commercial cracks me up every time I see it.

I think all women should do this exercise. 😃

The slow-motion sequence was sure pushing my buttons.

I can only imagine the scene at the CGI modellers office when they were doing that work.

Also, I noticed that they claimed it was designed specially for women. And yet I’ve seen the same product being used by guys in another commercial. But the link to that commercial was posted in the “This is so gay” thread. Hmmmm…

I’ve seen the (sweaty) men’s version of the commercial too!

I guess some men like using it. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.\*
