Thigh Master Exerciser Brand New


... They really shouldn't be advertising this product as 5 dollars, save 15 dollars! When they charge that 15 dollars for shipping, which is why I didn't buy it. ...

35 lb. Wide Handle Kettlebell


... I just started working out with my KB about a month a go or so. So far I like it, there are so many things I can do with it and I am feeling my muscles in a very different way from working out with barbells.
I could not believe how much my hearth rate went up the fisrt time I did the swings! Pavel describes the KB training as "Cardio without the emberresement of aerobics", he is right.
I would definatly recoment this type of exercise not just for men but for the ladies also, I didn't think many woman trained this way but just do a search on line and you will see that is not true.
I hope this helps. ...

Captains of Crush Hand Gripper - Sport


... I think the sport is good for beginning grip training, but most men will likely outgrow these in a few weeks. These are now pretty good for "pumping out lots of reps" while driving. At least they are well constructed. I have the Trainer version too. I think I will ougrow these fairly quickly as well. ...

Isokinetics Hand Exercise Squeeze Ball - Egg Shaped - 5 Resistance Levels


... I was a little disappointed after getting the Isokinetics Extra firm hand exerciser it was not as firm as my other hand exerciser that I have from another company that is rated as medium. ...

Isokinetics Magnetic Pedal Exerciser - Black


... The mini cycle works as advertised. The unit is extremely quiet and offers easy control of the resistance. I would suggest that there be a way to lock the resistance knob in a position as it moves rather easily. That is the only complaint. A worthwhile purchase. ...

Teeter Hang Ups Vibration Cushion for EP Series Inversion Tables


... Great addition to an inversion table; the cushion is soft and comfortable and fits the Teeter EP series like a glove. Easy to install, stays in place with elasticized Velcro straps that are well positioned to stay "anchored" to the inversion table, even while completely inverted.

The attached remote control is bright and clear and easy to read with a variety of programmed settings for massage (Wave, Tapping, Up and Down, Random Motors, All Motors). With the "All Motors" selection, you can lock in your favorite level of both intensity and speed of massage.

Heat is optional, controlled through the remote, which also has a timer function, so the vibration can be set at various 10 minute increments, which makes it unnecessary to watch the clock--just relax and enjoy!

Personally, I'm not crazy about the built-in infrared heat pods on the neck rest--I find them a little uncomfortable on my shoulders, but this is a very minor annoyance; once inverted, it's not an issue--just a slight annoyance when lying flat, preparing to invert. This does not bother my husband at all.

The vibration cushion takes the inversion table up another level--as relaxing and invigorating as inversion itself is, this vibration cushion really adds an extra dimension of relief, especially for those (like my husband) experiencing back pain--this provides intense relief for him, in 10 minutes at just a 45 degree inversion. It's been a great investment for our health and well-being; highly recommended! ...

Altus Athletic ADCUB Deluxe Chin Up, Pull Up, Sit Up Bar


... The bar is great - doesn't rotate, but I need to take it out of the doorway after each use.

It took just a few minutes to drill out the rivets from the mounting bracket so that the bar can easily be removed.

The bar is used only for chin-ups. You'd need to leave in the rivets if you were doing exercises that put any upward force on the bar. ...

MiR 20Lbs Exercise Adjustable Weighted Vest


... This is a nice vest for the price. Shipping was sort of expensive, but that's to be expected, I guess. The vest is easy to adjust, but when I adjusted the vest to fit snug, to avoid excessive bouncing while I run, some of the sand weights became hard as rocks and jabbed me in my lower back. There are no problems when you wear the vest loosely, which is what I normally do, since I mainly wear the vest while doing yard work or for additional weight when doing body weight resistance exercises. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my purchase. ...

Hang Ups EZ Up Inversion System w/ Boots and Rack

The product should be marked " small to medium ". ...

Body Solid GIB2 Inversion Boots


... Great quality and price. Found that hanging upside down and getting into that position from a bar (which I purchased separately) was a bit to tough for a 47 year old, so ended up purchasing an inversion table which I love.
Good product though - if your a monkey. ...

Captains of Crush Hand Gripper - No. 2


... "Formidable," yes, but not impossible. The 2.0 is EXPONENTIALLY more difficult than even the 1.5, so approach this puppy with respect.

After working the 1.0, then the 1.5 for about 6 months, I felt I was ready for the 2.0. Almost, but not quite! I can 10-rep the 1.5 with no trouble, but can get the 2.0 to within only 1/2 an inch of closure, and that's with my dominant hand. (I've only had it 2 days). Back to the 1.5 drawing board for a while longer, but I'm confident it'll come.

Regardless, the CoC grippers have seriously increased my grip strength for weight training. I chuckle, now, when I see guys who can bench twice what I can wrapping straps around their wrists to do barbell shrugs at 250, or dumbbell shrugs with 90's. If they only knew!

Leg Magic Exercise Machine


... I purchased this product at Target. It was easy to assemble.
Instantly I felt the workout, the *burn*
I used it for a little while the first time and by morning I was sore in muscles I never knew existed.
It doesnt take too much space but for my space it was too much so I had to return it.

If you want to feel the workout, this is a good product. ...

Body Solid BB23 Bicep Bomber


... I am extremely pleased with this product. I recently broke my shoulder in a bicycling accident and have been recouperating and rebuilding for about a year and a half. Once I was able to start lifting heavier weights I was inflaming the muscles and tissue in my shoulder. The most severe was when I was doing straight bar and dumbell curls. With the use of this device I was able to maintain proper form all the way through the motion and have been able to increase the weight amount to levels above pre shoulder injury. This is a great tool and I would highly recommend it to anyone that wants to increase size and reduce your chance of injury doing it. It's a wonderful product and I'm getting more out of it than I ever expected.

Thank you,
Kevin ...
