An exciting new exercise tool is coming to the United States soon from Japan. This super-firm pad, made from inter-woven fibers (hence, it’s call a “nest”) supports your body while you perform all sorts of exercises on it. It’s perfect for jogging in place, jumping and dancing, plus you can use it for extra leverage the way you’d use a Pilates ball — giving your situps, pushups, and other leverage-based exercises more efficiency. It also provides an excellent platform for elderly folks to workout with super-low impact. It’s also fun for kids and couples.

“Many actresses and athletes are fascinated by Vernest…it looks like a fancy coushion, but you’ll know its difference as soon as you put your body on it. Nothing else can give you the springiness and the floating feeling you get with Vernest. The secret to a Vernest workout is the mixture of balancing with resistance training. Exercising with Vernest stimulates a variety of CORE muscles that work to keep the body axis straight. The amount of muscle activity increases by ten to thirty percent.”

The Vernest should be arriving in the United States mid-year 2010 and we’ll keep you posted on its arrival, as this promises to be the hottest fitness tool in a long time.
