I'm tryin to contact the manufacturer (1-800 number or website) of an
exercise bar I saw advertised on TV.  The bar is held while doing
aerobic or stretching exercises and is advertised to strengthen your
core (abdominal) muscles.  The spokespersons on the informercial are
three Amerian athletes - Picabo Street, Dave Johnson, and ______ Ono,
a speed skater.  This is a padded steel bar - the name starts with
Kat..... I believe.

Hello, newts-ga!

 The bar you are looking for is the Katami bar. The website is not up
and running but I just called the number posted in the following forum
thread and spoke to the company rep:

"The evening I returned from Sweden I couldn't sleep. It was on the TV
Guide station at about 2:00am. I think it was filmed at the Olympic
training center in Colorado Springs...not sure. Peekabo Street, Dan
O'Brien and Apolo endorse the Katami System. The exercise bar comes
with videos and costs around $100. You pay for shipping and
handling($16)and have 30 days to try it out before you are charged."

"When ordering I told the woman I was doing so because Apolo endosed
it!! She assurred me it would be benefical for "mature" lady with a
bad back!

Katami System 1-800-213-9981."

The bar comes with a free trial offer for 30 days, plus 3 videos.
After 30 days, you can buy the bar if you like it!
