Trainer Jake Steinfield hit marketing gold with his first rocker machine, the Body by Jake Ab Rocker. Building on the machine's success, he introduced the Body by Jake Bun and Thigh Rocker, which soon become the most popular infomercial in 2001, according to "Business Wire" and the Monitoring Service Inc.'s National Cable Rankings. The Bun and Thigh Rocker should have come with instructions, but if you've lost them or bought the machine secondhand, you should know how to use it properly to avoid injury and increase results.

Step 1

Apply the resistance band of your choice to the back of the machine by looping the ends of the band around the prongs. According to the As Seen on TV store, the Body by Jake Bun and Thigh Rocker comes with six different resistance bands. It's a good idea to start with the lowest resistance and work your way up to a higher resistance depending on your strength and level or proficiency.

Step 2

Plant your feet on either side of the Body by Jake Bun and Thigh Rocker seat. Carefully lower yourself onto the seat, straddling the padding with your legs on either side. You should be able to comfortably lean back into the back rest.

Step 3

Lift your left food and place it on the foot rest. Slowly do the same with your right foot so that the Body by Jake Bun and Thigh Rocker is completely supporting your weight. The machine should not feel wobbly or unsteady. If you feel unsteady, get off of the machine carefully and move it to a flat surface.

Step 4

Press your weight onto your feet as you move upward. The back rest is on a set of tracks and will move with you. Press until you reach the top of the track, and then slowly lower yourself back to your starting position to complete one repetition. If you find the level of resistance too easy, dismount and apply a higher resistance band for better results.

Step 5

Complete 15 to 20 repetitions to complete a set. Try doing one set per day, increasing the number of sets and the resistance as you become stronger. Step off the machine carefully when you're finished.
