stand-up swaying

This handsome pair of hand-finished, ash rockers consists of six-feet long, three-inch wide, curved strips. Just buckle in your feet and sway away.

The gentle rolling is a relaxing break from sitting and it gives a great workout to the abs and back muscles. For some variety, rock the feet out of sync like a moonwalk in place. Not recommended for use on snow.

You're not strapped in. Which seems like a good thing. [DrCurry, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 21 2004]

Can I have mine in Beech?

You would soon end up with enormously powerful calves - perfect for skiing, skateboarding, or clicking your heels together like a military officer of the thirties.

ss: Yes, we've recently located a grove of naturally bent beech on a windy, Baltic coast.

UB: To be avoided since one of the boughs may break, the pedi-rocker will fall apart, and down will come Bubba, pedi-rocker and all.

I've seen people sway pretty well unassisted when they are exiting a pub or a bar.

Why not go all the way and make big hoops you strap into, for 360 degree rocking (and rolling)?

I'm going to be a doubting Thomas on this one. Unless you provide some serious bracing to the knees and possibly the hips, there is no way you could rock back and forth on six-foot rockers (well, *I* couldn't, anyway). You might as well just rock at the ankles. Or maybe I'm not picturing this right.

Ay, matey. It’s jus’ the way to keep yer sea legs ashore.

If I may have a second opinion, Doctor, I'm afraid I don't conCurr. One can rock sitting down on 3 1/2 feet rockers by swinging only a leg. This would be somewhat similar to rocking a rowboat, standing.

Side-to-side for that desirable swaying-with-Gospel-music effect
