Stealth Core
How much is an idea worth -
enough to make you poor?
What if you found the ultimate
that shook you to your core?
Suppose it took a thing you hate
like struggling with planks,
and sneakily turned it to fun,
would you pass and say, no thanks?
Ingenious, this board called Stealth,
paired with an app that’s on your phone;
Your elbows help you navigate;
it’s hands-free, in the planking zone.
You’ve got to stay up on your toes,
Or on your knees at first.
And most folks cannot stomach it
except in shortened bursts.
You use the board to fly through space
or shoot an asteroid,
or roll a marble through a maze
(That’s one I’ve not enjoyed).
The goal of Stealth: make you forget
that you are working out,
and focus on the game at hand
like finding the best route.
It seems we humans can do much
distracted from our pain,
and some of us will even pay
to play and play again.

Stealth Core is a planking board that rests on a ball that allows it to rotate in all directions. You run a game app on your phone and place it on the board, and you use your elbows and arms to move left or right, up or down, by twisting/tilting the board, and as a result, the phone. The phone detects the movement and changes what's on the screen, moves the cursor, or the ball, or the scene. It is really quite clever! It is also devilishly difficult if you're not accustomed to ab workouts.
