Total Gym Review
For a quite a few people, when they hear the name Total Gym they will immediately picture Chuck Norris working out on one. This isn’t a surprise seeing how Chuck Norris has a spokesmen for the product for a number of years now and has been appearing in infomercials for them.
However unlike many other celebrity endorsements where the celebrity hasn’t even touched a product until they were paid to market it, Chuck has been using Total Gym as his home gym solution for over 30 years now.
This is because Total Gym home gym systems provides a complete workout which can target all the major muscle groups in body. You can do as much as 80 different exercises on them, including resistance training, cardio training and stretching workouts.
Chest Magic Review
Viewers of the PitchMen TV Show on the Discovery Channel may remember a the Chest Magic. It is a chest and upper body toning device that features a somewhat unique design.
Plus the product is being endorsed by celebrity fitness trainer Jennifer Nicole Lee in the infomercial. Many of you may know her because of the Ab Circle Pro.
At first glance the Chest Magic resembles a push-up bar or aid but what makes it different is that the handles actually slide back and forth. This helps provide better results faster.
Total Flex Review
The Total Flex is an ultra compact home gym system that’s designed to let you do many of the same exercises you perform at a gym. It claims you can do over 50 different exercises with it that targets the whole body.
The whole unit already comes pre-assembled and when folded up it’s about the size of a suitcase and takes up very little space compared to other home gym systems. Like many other home gyms solutions, the Total Flex uses resistance bands in order to keep the weight down and save space.
The key behind the Total Flex is the locking pins that lets you change the seat position. It can be used as a flat bench, ab bench, leg developer, incline Bench, and more.
Torso Ball Review
The Torso Ball is a new ab workout which has been released recently. It is designed to work out the abs and core areas while promising fast results.
The product is an inflatable ball which has grip handles on each. A sling shot power cord is also included with the Torso Ball. You attach one end of the cord to the handles and then wrap the other end around your sneakers.
You hold onto the handles of the Torso Ball when lying on your knees and roll back and forth. The power cord helps create resistance while you move forward and the by holding onto the handles your body remains high off the floor.
Rockin Abs Review
Exercise equipment which targets the abs are probably some of the most popular home fitness equipment around. Every year we see quite a few new ones being released and advertised on infomercials.
Rockin Abs is one of them which has been recently released. The concept behind the product is fairly simple. You sit on it and rock back and forth to perform different crunches and workouts that target the abdominals.
The special arc design of Rockin Abs forces you to use mostly your core area to move the chair back and forth. The entire rocking motion and pace of the movement is being controlled by your abs.
Ab Glider
The Ab Glider is a new exercise equipment that features two exercise motions to help you tone and strengthen the abs. You can workout with a circular motion and a crunch motion to target all the abdominal muscles.
The manufacturer of the Ab Glider directly claims that their product is a better alternative than two popular home ab machines; the Ab Coaster and Ab Circle Pro.
Both the Ab Coaster and Ab Circle Pro only features a single motion. The Ab Circle Pro twists side to side while the Ab Coaster moves up and down for crunches.
Ab Rocket Twister
The original Ab Rocket has been around for a few years now. It is an exercise equipment that shaped like chair and is specially designed to let you work out the abs by rocking back and forth on it.
The company claims that this is more effective than doing just regular sit ups and crunches since it provides more resistance. Plus there’s also less strain put on the neck and back when compared to doing crunches and sit ups on the floor.
Now a new and improved model of the Ab Rocket has been recently released. It is called the Ab Rocket Twister and can now twist side to side too in addition to rocking back and forth.
Step360
The Step360 is an new exercise equipment designed to help your burn fat and lose weight. The product can be best described as a step shaped like a circle.
What makes it unique is that it provides you with an unstable surface for you to workout on. It creates this by utilizing 2 chambers with air which could either be totally inflated to give you a stable surface or partially inflated to cause this step to be wobbly.
Theoretically this type of instability is likely to make exercising with the Step360 more complicated. This results in more fat loss as more muscles must be used to keep you stable while doing exercises. In actual use though I doubt this makes plenty of difference compared to a normal step in relation to fat loss.
