Lol, there's just something about it that makes us not be able to resist it. As for not feeling it in the abs, you have to be real careful to do ti the right way. I catch myself all the time switching to the legs doing more work. You can't let gravity, shifting or your amrs pulling a bit make any of the movement for you. All rotation has to come strictly from your side abs tesnsing and pulling your legs around. I know it sounds weird and you think to yourself I'm doing it right, but I went a full week doing it wrong until one day I decided to tense up my abs while doing it and change things up a bit and 20 rotations later my sides ached again, which I hadn't felt since I first got it and that was only with 30 minutes use at the time.
I agree the thigh excersise feels weird to say the least and I couldn't tell it does anything but I still switch it up. I also adjust how I hold my arms also to strain them a bit through out also, even sometimes do push ups on the bar.
Like I said it's not a super cardio workout, but it's nice for watching TV to be being something instead of nothing.
My 5 year old treats it like a amusement ride. I think if I rode it like he does I might get a good work out. lol
