Strengthening your wrists and forearms - they get addictive after a while!

Basically there is a knack to spinning it really fast, its quite hard and wears you out quickly

My best is about 10,300rpm, you speed it up really fast and it feels ace, then I seem to hit a brick wall and the acceleration just stops

You can start them by rolling them off the floor, but I doubt you will until you have had a good few goes before! Try using a thin shoelace (i.e. out of some office shoes etc) as that's all the string is anyway.

Tiff, its just a gadget although it claims to be good for you and give excercise i'm not so sure myself

Addictive little things.
I've got an original 250hz one and can get 12800 rpm.
But there's a 350 hz that's even harder to do.
