Powertec Fitness P-HC10 45-Degree Dual Hyperextension / Roman Chair Review

Powertec Fitness P-HC10 45-Degree Dual Hyperextension / Roman Chair
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this Hyper/roman chair made by Powertec because I own Powertec's leverage workbench and it is an OUTSTANDING, SOLID piece of equipment so, I thought that I couldn't go wrong with their Roman Chair- I was correct to think so. The P-HR 45 by Powertec feels extremely SOLID while in use. The previous review complained about the pads being set to far apart- I did not find that to be so. I actually think that Powertec did this so that men could do Hyperextensions on this equipment in comfort and not have to worry about the family jewels being ruined. (Thanks Powertec!) Most Hyper/Roman chairs that I have seen are a bit huge. This chair surprisingly takes up very little space. It is very important that you FOLLOW DIRECTIONS when putting this together. It states that you should NOT tighten the bolts when putting this together until all the bolts are in place. I put all bolts into place and then tightened them starting from the bottom of the chair and worked my way up. TRUST me when I tell you that you should take heed to this as it really does make a difference as to how solid this machine will feel to you when you are using it. To me, there is nothing more important than to have your abs and lower back in there absolute best shape. Do yourself a favor and add this EXCELLENT piece of equipment to your home gym.

Ab Wheel Review

Ab Wheel

(More customer reviews)
My Dad has had this AbWheel for at least 20 years and he just started using it again at 57. Now he's more ripped then I am and his back, arms, and abs are rock solid. This thing is amazing and simple...the key, start slowly. He challenged me to use it the last time I went to his house, I went up and down twice and felt pretty good about myself (he does 60-100 reps from his knees then another 10 from his toes). The next morning after doing only 2 reps I woke up as sore as if I'd spent the entire day in the gym. I'm buying one of these right now so I can catch up to my Dad. Can't have a 60 year old man looking better than his 20-something son.

Slendertone Unisex System Abs Toning Belt Review

Slendertone Unisex System Abs Toning Belt
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I know the way these products are advertised make you think that they will make a fat person thin, but they don't. It gave good ab definition, but left the layer of fat until i worked out. It did speed up the process giving better and quicker ab results than I normally do when I only work out after a good winter hibernation. Before I had a little roll by my lower abs that I could never get rid off and now it's gone. It didn't happen overnight, been using it regularly for the past 2 months. Really saw results after 3-4 weeks, but started working out daily after the second week of owning. Ab workouts also felt easier.
Other info you should know that I couldn't find much info on before buying... The gel pads (I found) do have to be replaced every 35-40 uses. It also really helps to shave the abdominal area where you are using the pads as it improves pad life and effectiveness. I remember someone saying that the charger plug is flimsy; I didn't find it to be flimsy at all. It uses a SATA type connector that you would find on a computer or hard drive.
I would like to find out from anyone if the connector works on the bicep tricep attatchment.

Whether you're a casual exerciser, a senior, a fitness enthusiast, or someone facing physical challenges, the Slendertone System Abs Toning Belt (unisex) can help you build a stronger core foundation. Simply follow the 30-day toning plan for 30 minutes, five times a week to develop your abdominal strength, muscle mass, and power. Discreet, comfortable and easy to use, the Slendertone System slimline belt enables you to build power abs anytime--at home, while working at the office, out the garden, etc.
The rechargeable, handheld System Controller plugs into the toning belt and displays information on toning programs, time and intensity all in the palm of your hand. It features seven toning programs, up to 99 intensity levels, and warm-up and cool-down phases. It's backed by a two-year warranty.
Slendertone uses clinically proven Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology to firm, tone and strengthen your entire midsection. Signals are sent between the pads, engaging the nerves that control your muscles and causing them to contract naturally. It targets not just the muscles you can see, but also the muscles that are more difficult to reach with conventional exercise. The rectus abdominis (abs), obliques (which shape the waist) and the transversus abdominis are all activated. This last is the deepest of the abdominal muscles and wraps around the abdomen like a corset. It is essential for stability in the lower back region and is very difficult to reach with conventional exercise.
Used regularly (as little as 30 minutes a day) in conjunction with a healthy diet and some moderate exercise, you will notice results within four weeks. You can wear the Slendertone System belt when you just don't have time in your hectic schedule to hit the gym or go for a run, or wear it during your workout for added emphasis.
Features
Firm your midsection with clinically demonstrated Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology
Tone your muscles while doing other activities--from cardio exercises to household chores
Use 4 to 5 times a week for stronger, firmer abs in 4 to 8 weeks
7 programs with 0 to 99 intensity levels allow for increasing levels of strength training
Fits women's waist sizes 24 to 44 inches; fits men's waist sizes 27 to 44 inches
2-year warranty

Slendertone Flex Pro Abdominal Muscle Toner Review

Slendertone Flex Pro Abdominal Muscle Toner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a lifetime athlete who in recent years has gotten too busy for doing sports every day as I have in the past, this is a good addition to my various methods of dealing with the change in lifestyle.
I used to go cycling every day and do other outdoor sports on occassion, but my move to NYC five years ago and into corporate America has turned me into your typical weekend warrior. Just as the atrophy of office life was what first turned me into a serious athlete when I was 20, I am inspired at 41 to once again try new things to keep myself in shape--and enjoying it. Most recently these new things include an indoor trainer that I can use with my roadbike to pedal out the miles on weekday evenings, and this belt to work those muscles that cycling does not.
No real CON, but a few points I want to make:
I'm actually taking a star away for the instructions; you pretty much have to figure out how you want to incorporate this thing into your physical training on your own. For the price, they could include an adaquate training guide written by an expert. Perhaps someone at Amazon could suggest a relevant book.
The lack of adaquate instructions caused me to do the couch potato mistake of using the belt while slouched on the sofa in front of the TV and the uneven training gave me a bit of back pain for a week. It wasn't a big deal though.
Perhaps coincidental, but I started pooping like a newborn when I started using this belt.
You should be careful not to overdue it at first unless you already are used to working your abdominal muscles on a regular basis. The suggested levels and use times are a pretty good guide--just don't exceed them.
I was blown away by how much power three AA batteries were able to put out, but maybe it really doesn't take that much power. In any case, the power is more than adaquate.
DO NOT attempt to move the belt while it's turned on because you will literally be in for a shock. It's amazingly strong when the current goes through your fingertips.
BOTTOM LINE: This belt is very effective. My only caviat is that you should look for some kind of guide as to how to use it for maximum effectiveness and without causing yourself undue discomfort or pain.

Enjoy firmer and stronger ab muscles after just six weeks with the Slendertone Flex Pro abdominal training system. Designed exclusively for men (an alternate version is available for women), the Flex Pro doesn't require thousands of sit-ups or crunches to tone your abs.Instead, the system employs medical-grade Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology to simultaneously work all of your abdominal muscles while you walk to the store or sit in an office chair. Simply strap on the toning belt and adhere the included gel pads to your skin. The belt will then send signals to your nerves by way of the gel pads, causing the muscles to relax and contract for an effective yet comfortable abdominal workout. The system has been clinically proven to firm and tone all three abdominal muscles--the rectus, oblique, and transversus abdominis--in addition to boosting core strength and improving endurance.
The Flex Pro offers seven built-in programs and 99 intensity levels, providing a great workout for everyone from beginners to advanced users. For best results, wearers should use the Slendertone Flex Pro five times a week for six weeks.

Stamina Ab / Hyper Bench Review

Stamina Ab / Hyper Bench
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Delivery: the item arrived promptly and was well packaged; there was no damage.
Assembly: uncomplicated and took under 30 minutes; instructions were straightforward; the bench can be easily folded and stored away.
Country of origin: China.
Construction: the steel frame is fairly light, but sturdy; no rickety parts; every single joint is thoroughly welded; the bench does not rock or tip during exercise; paint job is A+; padding is a little on a flimsy side and I do not expect it to last as long as my previous bench; the manufacturer specifies 250 lbs as a user weight limit.
Dimensions: the seat is only 28.5 inches long, so decide for yourself whether this is adequate for you; I would estimate that anyone over 6 ft tall will have difficulty using this product for sit-ups.
The vertical component of the bench (tilted 40 degrees and used for back hyperextension exercises) has adjustable height and will accommodate just about any sized human (but do not forget the 250 lbs weight limit); it does excellent job isolating the lower back muscles.
Overall appearance: it looks like a quality product overall, from stitching to glossy finish; the design is certainly compact and clever for what this bench does.
Price: $100 for a bench like this, including delivery, is a good value.
Rating: 4 stars; there are nicer products out there, but they are all bulkier and more expensive.

Bally Twist Board Review

Bally Twist Board
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This twisty exercise is something I'm actually likely to do -- it definitely appeals to the wiggly little kid in me :) The board is pretty small but not too small for me (with size 8 women's feet), although you can't really place your feet more than a few inches apart. I didn't find it hard to balance on at all, as long as you're careful when you step onto it. It worked fine and I was having fun twisting away, but then maybe only about 20 minutes in, I heard a "crack" and a strange noise -- turns out one of the little rolly balls on the inside somehow became dislodged, and now there's a sort of a "dent" spot in it, and I'm worried that if I keep using it it will actually crack. I don't know whether this was because of some manufacturing flaw or what. I'm not a small girl -- me + the weights I was using are probably nearly 200 pounds taken together -- but it seems to me like exercise tools ought to be built for people who could stand to lose a few, you know? I would love this if only it didn't seem like it was on the verge of breaking. I can't really say I feel like I overspent though, since it was so cheap to begin with...

Teeter Hang Ups Gravity Boots Review

Teeter Hang Ups Gravity Boots
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I tried a couple of inversion tables but found that they weren't very comfortable on my ankles. Note: It is important to only buckle these gravity boots as loosely as you can without slipping out of them for maximum comfort (transfers pressure off achiles tendon and onto heal bone.) You can use these gravity boots with some inversion tables, but If you have the strength/coordination you may find that hanging from a bar (teeters brand) allows for more options (more hip/body movement.) Scientific studies have shown that traction is of questionable benefit, so I never bothered to persue inversion as the mechanism at play is obviously traction. However, recently, after many many years of back pain, I've started a program of inversion. I find that out of all the things I have tried (of which there are a great many), the inversion is probably the most beneficial. It hasn't cured me by any means, but it has provided some improvement. I think one thing to stress is that it is not sufficient to simply invert and lay still. Rather, it is probably much more beneficial to alternately contract the abdominals in a way that shortens your spinal length by aprox an inch or two. As if you are trying to pull your belly button up into your pelvis. or pelvic bone down into your belly button, perhaps? Do this every five or ten seconds. Not only will this strengthen your abs, but it will also fatiuge your stabalizing muscels so as to more fully stretch the spine (the abs, if not fatiuged, probably limit the stretch, as they are trying to protect the spine and hold it in place.) Also, by contracting and relexing the abs, you are likely expanding and contracting the disc space, moving fluid around the connective tissue (which has no real blood vessels of thier own.) Lastly, by doing these contractions, you may in effect be loading and unloading the spinal ligaments, which might strengthen them the way a bicep is strengthened by contracting and relaxing through bicep curls. There are many people, myself included, who believe that weak ligaments are the primary culprit in many lower back problems (even if bad discs are present....ie, many people have bad discs without problems, as shown by MRI studies.) In my case I believe it is my Sacroiliac joint ligament (si joint dysfunction.) I'm quite convinced that my improvments are not placebo in origin, as I was quite pessimistic about trying this (due to studies on traction that had me convinced this was fairly futile.) In addition to the abdominal contractions, I'd also reccomend do full inverted situps, hula type hip rotations while inverted, try to stretch the front of your hips (flexors) while inverted, and also twisting and side bending motion. It is probable that all this motion and stretching while inverted ads flexibility and elasticity to the connective tissue as well as moves fluid around. I invert twice a day for ten minutes each time.

Teeter Hang Ups Gravity Boots provide an ankle-conforming fit through two "fine-tuning" buckles with micro-adjusting ratchets which fit the exact size and taper of your ankle.

The flexible shell is made of a tough yet pliable blend of DuPont Hytrel, which helps to minimize pressure points. A special blend of 5/8-inch foam is designed to give maximum comfort with minimum compression. Other features include:
Removable calf loops add comfort by placing a two-degree bend in the knees to help reduce the load on knee joints
Boot straps adjust to ankles varying several inches in diameter
Ratcheting, double-lock system ensures safety and security

Roger and Jenny truly believe in the benefits of this simple, natural form of therapy that has been around since 400 BC. In the late 1970’s, Roger tried many forms of therapy to help manage his pain. He finally discovered that by inverting, he was able to relieve his back pain and begin the road to recovery. He credits inversion for keeping him pain free, healthy, and active. Inversion has changed Roger's life, and now he is dedicated to sharing his knowledge of inversion and quality products.

The base metal part came in a little crooked. Doesn't bother me at this point, but long term might affect the machine.
The instructions are incorrect. The very first step show L-shaped part which is a little different from what it really is. There are 2 triangular platters which are never mentioned in the instructions and have to be attached to the L-shaped part and the other part specified in 1st step. I realized that towards the end of the assembly, so had to dis-assemble and reattach those platters.
The machine however is good for what it's supposed to be used for.

AB-Doer Twist Review

AB-Doer Twist
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros: appears to be built well, shipping was fast, assembly fairly easy
Cons: After working with this a week and doing approximately 30 minutes a night I have a few problems. 1. Really doesn't work your abs, only side lats. 2. Resistance setting really doesn't work, I have it cranked to max and my 4 year old can do it. No resistance, no workout, very simple.
Summary: I would recommend for the very elderly or people with very bad back problems but for normal folk there are better products. Very expensive to just provide a "slight" workout to your side lats. I am unsure why they named this the twister because the seat really needs to stay stationary to get even the slightest workout. I am out of shape horribly after a 2 year absence from working out and I feel no soreness at all. I also don't want to spend more money to buy an additional resistance rod, why put a resistance adjustment knob if it doesn't do anything?

Marcy SB-410 Crunch Board Review

I bought the Marcy Ab bench because of its low price tag. First I must say that I was delighted by the quick shipping. It arrived in two days. Secondly, I want to talk about assembly. It wasn't much of a problem at first. I had to tap one of the screw holes in the base because it had been stripped out. Not a real problem. I also had to add a spacer on the "locking knob" that holds the leg pegs on the at the bottom because it too had different threads than the bolt. (It would not tighten even halfway.) After all that the bench was assembled and ready for use. Now I am only 5'8" and it seems to me that the bench part might have done better to be 3 or 4 inches longer, but doing the exercises was good enough to make my abs sore the next day and that is what counts. It is what it is but worth what I paid for it.

PowerLine Ab Crunch Bench / Machine Review

The bench is decent, I can't say its a sweet deal but for the amount of money you are paying, I guess you aren't being ripped off either. there is no installation manual so you have to put it together based on the exploded diagram. also the way the machine is made, for those people of shorter stature, the back and bottom are very uncomfortable. The straps dont come down very far and when you try to do tricep exercises, its easy to hit your head. on the positive side, even though it is uncomfortable, this machine does give you a good ab/tri workout.
