I'm not convinced. Its something to try when watching TV but is a bit of a faff to set up and doesn't feel particularly comfortable. I get warmer hands by squeezing a ball instead, and this is a lot easier to set up ! I quite like circulation booster for feet though - probably because its harder to get those small muscles in your feet contracting yourself - there isn't really an equivalent to squeezing a ball with your toes that's easy to do.
