Bowflex Tredclimber

Bowflex Tredclimber
walking and running, strength training

JUL

2008
Not only does the Bowflex TredClimber work the large muscles in the thighs and buttocks, it also gives a good aerobic work out.  You have the option to use it only as a treadmill or as a stepper/treadmill.  The speed goes up to 4.0 which doesn't allow for running but if you walk with hand weights, you will really receive a tough aerobic workout.  It fits in a small space, comes with emergency release clip, cup holders on the control panel, easy to read display.  You can also adjust the stepper force by turning numbered rings.  A very well made piece of… read full review »

Tony Little Gazelle

Tony Little Gazelle

JUL

2008
The Tony Little Gazelle is a fair-quality elliptical trainer. The digital piece shows time, amount travelled, and calories burned. The unit easily folds for storage but is still a bit large so an ample-sized space needs to be available. Use is easy and a nice alternative when jogging is impractical or undesirable. The drawback with the Tony Little Gazelle is that it sqeaks loudly when being used. At first, it was quiet; but, after only a small amount of use, the noise started. Neither machine oil nor white lithium grease was able to solve the problem. The oil was too thin for the… read full review »

Everlast for Her 3-Pound Easy Grip Weights

Everlast for Her 3-Pound Easy Grip Weights

JUL

2008
Quick View: I generally lift heavier weights but I have a few very fast-paced cardio workouts that incorporate light weights into the routine. My heavy weights were simply TOO heavy for me to do the workouts and not screw up my form. I decided three pound weights would be perfect. Instead of just buying simple weights, I went for girly pink ones. These are fine but really, I would be just as happy with unisex, no frills weights.About Everlast for Her 3-Pound Easy Grip Weights — These come in various weights and are sold separately. I didn't realize at first that I needed to buy two.… read full review »

2008
I'm a tv baby. The tv is on in my apartment all the time. Half the time I'm not even watching, just keeping it on for background noise. That's what happens when you grow up in a noisy house with lots of family, and end up having no kids. — I'm also working on getting healthier, and the fact that they've installed a gym right in my apartment building makes this all the easier. All I have to do is take the elevator down tot he lobby and the gym is right there. Luckily, the folks who set up the gym really thought it through. Instead of installing one tv, permanently tuned to MSNBC (as is… read full review »

A friend gave me the gazelle a few months ago.  The first time I used it I was a little disappointed.  It does give you a workout, but the motion takes a while to get used to.  It does give you a workout, but does not work as well as an elliptical machine.  If you are trying to choose between the two, I would definitely go for the elliptical machine.  I feel like the Gazelle is better then nothing, but an elliptical machine gives you a much better… read full review »

Quick View: I am not a die hard yoga practitioner by any means but I was intrigued by this kit. It includes a DVD and weighted gloves for a slow, effective upper body yoga workout. — About The Gaiam Yoga Burn Kit — First, I have to say there are a few versions of this kit. The one I have includes weighted gloves and a DVD that is 40 minutes in length led by Rodney Yee with a woman doing all the actual movements. Another kit has just the woman with Rodney voicing over the workout and the gloves. And yet another has just a 60 minute workout with Rodney Yee and no gloves!… read full review »

After reviewing many treadmills I finally settled on Vision Fitness T9450 and have been happy so far. Like the easy setup and if i need to move it i can do so quickly.

I ran across the tv commercial for this product advertising $19.99 with freebies added and thought it would be worth it only to realize when calling it was ONLY a automated system getting you to buy other products such as videos,vitamins and monthly memberships etc. I immediately hung up as i was highly aggravated and assumed that would automatically cancel my order, well i thought WRONG! About 4 weeks later it showed up at my door as i had not thought once about it since the day of ordering and noticed that they charged my credit card $55 and some change. I immediately called and was given a… read full review »

      I really enjoy using the bender ball because its quick and to the point.  I have read other reviews and I dont think they are giving the product a fair chance, because they cant get pass the problems they had with purchasing the item.  I personally had no problems purchasing the bender ball.  I find the bender ball very helpfull and easy. The bender ball is so quick and to the point I use it 7 days a week when my baby goes to sleep or before I goto work, that's how easy it is.  I would recommend the bender ball because I think its a great… read full review »

To the Point — — I used the Original Pezzi GymnastikBall at a fitness room in a hotel in which we were staying. I use Stability Balls at the gym quite frequently and really like the versatility of what they offer. — — In generaly Stability Balls are used as a way to improve balance and muscle tone. Almost every exercise that can be done on a machine or a mat can be done on the Gymnastick Ball and in many cases makes the exercise safer. — — A Closer View — — The Original Pezzi Gynmastik Ball is latex free and like other Stability Balls comes… read full review »

I love this Nordik treadmill! It calculates the calories you burn, and tells you your speed and incline at which you are running/walking. I do not know what I would do without it! Especially in this summer heat!  I do not know what I would do without it-- it saved my fitness level, for… read full review »

NordicTrack 1500c Treadmill

JUL

2008
This machine is a good concept, and they had good intentions. Unfortunately, the product was not tested properly because there are several problems with it. I had to return two of them before I finally got one that works even half way decently. However, the incline is VERY limited. The buttons' paint comes of after about 3 months. The buttons stop working after about 6 months. This is NOT a good investment! The only reason you would want to buy this treadmill is if you plan to use it once a month and not more than that! And even then, I wouldn't recommend it because it will only last you a… read full review »
