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

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

Average Reviews:

(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

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

Gaiam Balance Ball Beginner Kit (Large, Blue) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The GAIAM ball gets 5 stars, but the DVD included in this package is awful - 1 star at best. I got sucked into this purchase because I thought I was getting the all-in-one type of set up. I suppose that is partly true, but even the most extreme beginners will find the DVD useless after a few viewings. It essentially serves as an advertisement for 3 other DVDs sold by GAIAM. I don't know the price of the ball by itself, but I would recommend that purchase for sure. Then find a DVD that suits you from there.

Body Flex Clark Bartram's 3D Abdominals Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was skeptical and it took a little while to get use to, but I am now very proficient on this piece of equipment. After being a gym-alholic for over fifteen years, I bought a recumbant bike, which I use 5 to 6 times a week. I also employ light weights in my workout, but that's more sporadic. I found that, opposite of my intention, I was neglecting my abs. This machine has turned that around for me, I keep it out, even though it can be stored quite easily, and find, when I have five to ten minutes, I can jump on it and get my stomach work done nearly every day. I love it. I can see why some will find the first attempt a bit unwieldy. It's different than most other home machines or even the machines at the gym, but it is working for me. My abdominals are shaping up.

Gaiam Total Body Balance Ball Kit (65cm) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My husband mistakenly bought me a small exercise ball for Christmas and I, being a little shy of six feet tall, couldn't use it. So, I returned it for this set and I couldn't be happier. The ball itself comes with a really easy to use hand pump and has a nice, sticky finish to it that clings to my hardwood floor like a yoga mat. I was only really looking for a yoga ball, but the theraband and DVDs were great to get with this kit as well.
The DVD is also a wonderful tool to have. The main workout dvd focuses on legs, arms and abs. WHOA does it target your muscles! I was amazed at the amount of muscle isolation and how this seemingly "easy" set of moves really targeted my muscles. It was a great workout- wonderfully shot, nicely explained and just fun to do. I can't wait to add it to my exercise regimen.

Slendertone Flex Pro Abdominal Muscle Toner Review

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.

Stamina Ab / Hyper Bench Review

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.

AeroMat Therapy Burst Resistant Peanut Fitness Ball Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased a new peanut ball as a Christmas gift for my autistic nephew. My sister opened it the day after Christmas and tried to inflate it only to discover that it leaks. She tried to follow up by calling the info on the packing slip with no luck. When I called the company on the packing slip, Aeromat Fitness Products, they said that I had to call the company who makes the product, Workout Healthy, and gave me a phone number that started with area code 301. I called it and got someone's personal voice mail, not a company. I looked up Workout Healthy's website and called their 888 number and was told that I could not get a refund or exchange unless I returned the product "unopened". I asked, "How can I know that it's defective without opening it?" The woman I spoke to simply said that "that's our policy". Nice. Please avoid the hassle and do not order anything from Aeromat or Workout Healthy.

Giant Ab/Back Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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

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

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
