Mothercare's 'Walkaround Exerciser'

Advantages: You know where they are at all times!
Disadvantages: Some babies may not like it.

...When our first daughter was coming up to nine months old, she showed signs of wanting to pull herself up and try to walk, so we invested in this 'Walkaround Exerciser' from Mothercare. We were looking for a 'baby walker' really, but chose this one because it was more like an activity table, and would probably last her a lot longer. Even when she was too big to fit in the seat in the middle of the table, she could still play with the various activities on the top. She absolutely loved it from day one. The table itself has a central rotating seat that they sit in and can swivel around to reach the toys on the table top. It also has two lockable wheels, and one rotating heavy weighted leg - thus allowing the table, when wheels unlocked, to be rotated around without moving all around the room, it just pivoted around the weighted leg...

Review of Mothercare Walkaround Exerciser

PUT THE BLADE IN TO YOUR BODY WITH BODYBLADE

Advantages: It tones the body.
Disadvantages: May looks like a normal stick.

.... I had bought it for £60, from this sports shop in cornwall. If you don't have a lot of time and want the feeling of blood flowing through your muscles (that pumped feeling you get from lifting weights) then this product is for you. People might laugh when they first see it, but tell them to give it a try and they all say the same thing. Wow, this is for real. My friends tried it and could barley do each exercise for the required one minute mark. I on the other hand did it with ease. I have a toned appearance and I don't spend hours at the gym....

Review of Bodyblade Exercise Equipment

A Wheelie bad idea!!!!!! Golds Gym Exercise wheel

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: You could quite easily end up in traction!!!!! Awful, disasterous etc etc

...Now this piece of kit is right up there with the most pointless, cheap, nasty and in my opinion dangerous pieces of equipment on the market. I almost laughed out loud when I first came across this and perhaps offers proof that some people will buy THE most pointless pieces of equipment known to man in the pursuit of physical perfection. My first thought was not that it was a piece of exercise equipment but rather a toy emulating the ?Wheelies? from Return to OZ. I was wrong WHAT IS IT? You can?t really dress this piece of equipment up, it?s a plastic rod which has been put through a wheel. That?s it. You hold each side of the wheel and roll backwards and forwards and this action apparently works out the abdominal muscles. Essentially you become a wheelbarrow. Apologies for the crude analogy but that really is all there is too...

Review of Golds Gym Exercise Wheel

You won't need an exercise book for these...

Advantages: Great results can be achieved
Disadvantages: Difficult to find the motivation to start

....B. To put the calories burned figures into perspective you need to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound] Their list was: 1. Step aerobics - burns 400 calories in 30 minutes - targets legs, hips and glutes What I read was ?spend a few minutes on your stepper, that will do the same job? 2. Bicycling - burns between 250 - 500 calories in 30 minutes What I read was ?spend a few minutes on your parents exercise bike, that will do the same job? 3. Swimming - burns 400 calories in 30 minutes - works your entire body I like swimming but not had the time recently 4. Racquetball - burns 400 calories in 30 minutes What I read was ?racquetball - I?m not American, but I?m sure swing ball has the same effect? 5. Rock climbing - burns 380 calories in 30 minutes - targets arms and legs I am not a superhero, do not have any rock climbing equipment or the money...

Review of Top Ten Forms of Exercise

Crazy fit is Crazy good!

Advantages: Dont break a sweat, can be used for all ages, quiet, lose inches!
Disadvantages: Cant drink a coffee while your on it!

...I live with my parents who have varying degrees of fitness and muscle tone. After visiting an old friend who suffers from severe problems with his circulation this machine is all my dad could talk about. His friend who is in his late 60?s was at the point of loosing his feet if he did not do something to improve his circulation. Being a very large man with not so good health anyway, normal exercise is not something he can comfortably do. Even a simple walk to the local shop is out of the question. So he used this machine and within a few weeks has improved his circulation so well that he is no longer at risk of losing his feet! He even lost weight too! My dad was very excited about this because he has a similar problem. Two years ago my father was very ill and as a result of this has lost part of one lung. His breathing is very...

FUN & Different Exercise Un-Routines

Advantages: No memberships, fees or registrations
Disadvantages: None that I know of

...Exercise Routines? © 2005 Linperry . *****MANY of the exercise un-routines in this writing are free or very inexpensive. The most expensive ones might be the Horse-back riding or one or two others. In my own opinion I believe that an exercise routine shouldn?t be that at all ?routine. I think that when exercise gets to be routine, though that might help some individuals, that ?routine? part of it will bore me and eventually make me want to stop the exercise program. So, the way that I like to do my exercise is in a different or creative way, different than the average exercise class that you might watch on television or see in the local gyms. I believe in that old saying, ?you can?t kill two birds with one stone?, however, I think you can. If you really think things out, you CAN exercise and CAN accomplish...

Review of Member Advice on Exercise Routines

To be used in private!

Advantages: Works your muscles harder whilst feeling quite relaxing and addictive.
Disadvantages: Your wobbly bits shake from head to toe and you sound like a robot!

...I have been using this machine for the past two weeks. I had previously used one at my local gym but the wait to get on the machine could be lengthy as it has proved so popular with people of all ages. The one I now have at home seems to be almost as powerful as the more expensive model in the gym and I can use it when I want. It has proved useful for getting more from exercises such as sit-ups and press-ups as the constant vibration really makes you use your core, concentrate on staying balanced and seemingly makes your muscles work harder. People I know who have used the machine for a few months believe their muscle tone to be improving! I have also found my recovery to be better after a long run if I use the machine whilst doing stretches. The reason I suggest using the machine in private is that many of the stretches...

Review of Crazy Fit Vibration Massage Plate Exercise Machine

great machine it works!

Advantages: it does asa it says
Disadvantages: might make you feel dizzy

...i can say that this is a great machine it really works and gives you good results i wouldnt say the best but you can certainly tell after a period of time that your body has toned up, i havent got one of these myself but i would like to get one when i can afford it lets say. the vibration on this machine is not like a massage its more intense and when you stay on it for quite a while you will feel your muscles tightnen thats when you know its working. so i definatly gives this machine a thumbs up, i suggest you buy this machine if your too lazy or bored to go to the gym because you can do many exercises on this in the comfort of your own home. this is a great machine and would recommend this a good buy...

Review of Crazy Fit Vibration Massage Plate Exercise Machine

Great Machine!

Advantages: Quick Work-Out, Cheaper than Power Plates, Great Results
Disadvantages: Only tones your body, doesnt keep you fit.

...the next day! My legs were aching like i'd done a cross country run the previous day. Even though i was aching, i was extremly happy, knowing that this machine had its job. I now use this machine 3 times a week, varying my exercises. I feel much better for it, and noticed my body toning all over. The Machine The options on this machine are pretty basic, but then how much do you actually need to exercise? You have 6 buttons on the control panel. Two control the level of speed the plate vibrates, one starts the vibrating and one stops it. The other two are your timer and program functions. There 3 programs pre-installed into this model, which automatically set the speed and levels, there is also a manual option where by you can control the time and level when exercising. The time can be adjusted from 1-10 minutes. Theres not much you...

Review of Crazy Fit Vibration Massage Plate Exercise Machine

The fun way to exercise!

Advantages: good variety of games, fun for various age groups
Disadvantages: expensive, some games require quite a bit of space

...not that bad! The game has four different sections- Yoga, Balance, Aerobic Exercises and Muscle Stretches. In the yoga section there are various yoga moves you can do which focus on your balance with new positions being unlocked the more you use it. After you have completed each section you are rated on how you done. The balance section (my favorite part of the game!) has lots of mini games including skiing, ski jumping and tightrope walking. You are rated after each game with your scores recorded on the leader board. Within the Aerobic section there are games which include gyrating your hips as if you are playing with a hula hoop and is surprisingly tiring as well as a game that involves you jogging on the spot while you watch your Mii run round a circuit! The final section (and my least favorite) is the muscle stretches...
