Stylish and super fast

Advantages: stylish design, increase speed and acceleration, fit according to foot shape
Disadvantages: may leave blisters during the first few times wearing

...This pair of boots is amazing, can't wait to have one of them. The thing I love best about Nike is that they always come out with very stylish design for socer boots and I just feel really good wearing them on the pitch. With the familiar design of the famous Mercurial generation, this new Mercurial Veloci promises to offer great support, flexibility and speed. The specially designed bottom produces great friction with the turf, that helps to increase acceleration and balance. I can now do complex tricks, turn and run with complete confidence. Made from synthetic materal, the boots will fit your foot shape in no time. Just wear it in one or two days, and you may think that the boots are custom made only for your foot. However, it may leave some blisters during the first few times wearing it. Available in may other colours...

Review of Nike Mercurial Veloci Astro Turf Trainers

Me In Boxer Shorts And Trainers Scary Hey!!!

Advantages: Great For Aerobic Work
Disadvantages: Misleading Adverts

...Being a dedicated and hard working househusband to a wife 5 kid's and 3 cats as well as numerous fish I was looking for a way to work out as it is very hard for me to take time out and go down the gym or out for a run as I used to do on a regular basis whilst I was out working. Sitting at home as any Housewife or Husband can tell you doe's get a little boring after you have cleaned up and sorted the babies out so I find myself occasionally watching the QVC channels and those like it on the telly. I noticed the Lateral Thigh Trainer on an advert where you were getting the usual stories of I lost 14 stone in a week and I used to look like this but now I am as slim as a supermodel but even though I know this is a load of rubbish I was still very interested so I got onto my usual shopping channel good old EBay lol and found one on there...

Review of Tristar Lateral Thigh Trainer

The Lateral Thigh Trainer is a MUST HAVE

Advantages: Needs very little space, targets thigh muscles and REALLY WORKS
Disadvantages: Some may find it very boring

...I happened to come across a T.V advert advertisting what seemed to be another very expensive, yet interesting peice of excercise equipment. So as usual in amazement I sat and watched the advert. It was for the Lateral Thigh Trainer. After having two children, my body never returned to its old self again, so I have been loooking around to try and find a cheap enough but effective excercise tool. So when the advert came on I was hooked and decided I had to get one and try it out. It was being advertised for 89.99 plus p&p, although it sounded goo, too good to be true infact i still thought it was very pricey. So I decided to go about getting one the "new fashion way as some would say" and look on the fabulous Ebay. Wow, there were so many, and I eventually brought myself a pink one for 19.99. Since buying the Lateral Thigh trainer I...

Review of Tristar Lateral Thigh Trainer

A Breath of Fresh air: Powerlung Trainer

Advantages: increase in Aerobic performance, increase in lung capacity
Disadvantages: A touch expensive

...Fitness gadgets come and go and for the most part they are gimmicks dressed up to suggest a marked improvement in performance, whilst in reality they are not that useful. The Powerlung Trainer is different. It works and it works well. Respiratory training is not a new idea, but its intergration into the fitness industry has been quite slow. I'm guessing the main reason for that is advertising, because not many people I have trained have ever heard of it. It would certainly be more popular if people were aware of its effectiveness. So what is it and what does it do? HISTORY The powerlung was created by Barry Jarvis who in his youth was a competitive rower, but in his 40's suffered a debilitating heart attack. The result of his heart attack led to Barry not being able to do the things he used to regards his exercise. He found...

Cross trainer makes husband CROSS.

Advantages: Can exercise while watching baby.
Disadvantages: Too big.

...I have just managed to get rid of my Cross trainer. Well, when I say get rid of, I mean sell. Yes I did actually manage to sell it and get some money back on it. OK, so it may have been to my sister who`s other half is into fitness and has a whole room as an indoor gym, but so what! It is out of my house. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + I bought the Cross Trainer afew years ago when I had a child at home.

review of dickies safety trainers

Advantages: good looking, comfortable lightweight durable
Disadvantages: low sides meaning obviously cant submerge them in a puddle

...Possibly the comfiest thing you will wear on your feet to work. the trainers has padding that is as soft as your normal trainers, the leather is tough enough to deal with the usual wear n tear of construction work and it looks great. they allow your feet to breath ( no more smelly feet after work) and they are very petite considering they have the steel toe cap and the steel plate in the sole. I no longer need to change into my trainers to drive the van between jobs or to and from work as the dickies feel practically no different from my regular trainers. ive been working in plant rooms with an inch of water on the floor and had no leakage and ive also had a few things drop on me and felt nothing. as these are trainers afterall its not recommended that you use them for building sites as deep mud or puddles will go up and over...

The trainer that made me cross

Advantages: Great fat burning exerciser. Automatic magnetic resistence.
Disadvantages: Poor quality.

...PRODUCT ************ Eclipse Cyclone 2 programmable eliptical cross trainer. Eliptical cross trainers are a low impact exerciser that burn 5 times more calories than walking. There are two ways of exercising, holding onto the static handles for a lower body work out. Or using the long moving handles for a full body work out. You place your feet on large foot plates and can either go forward or backward to exercise differant parts of the legs. No instructions are giving on what parts of the body you are working out or placing feet on differant parts of the foot plates to increase difficulty. PRICE ******** £139.99 and £29.99 p&p this included insurance. The MRP was £455 but looking at the quality i don't know where they get this from. ASSEMBLEY ************** Basic tools are supplied if you have none. It is a two man job...

Review of Eclipse Cyclone2 Programmable Elliptical Cross Trainer

My trainers cross i ate all those pies.

Advantages: Burns fat fast, heart rate monitor
Disadvantages: Takes up alot of space

...WHY ****** Due to a serious injury to my Knee playing rugby my physio recommended a cross trainer to me as it is a low impact exerciser and is a good alternative to running machines. I found this one on Ebay and thought it was reasonably priced at £130 with some good features. Quality ********* Build quality is very good, the trainer is heavy due to the large solid tubular frame and if like me you have it upstairs you will need some help in carrying it up the stairs. Once upstairs you can wheel the trainer to your preferred place as it has built in wheels. The fly wheel is encased in a plastic cover, which should prevent little fingers being trapped where they shouldn't be. The foot stands are large and have tread marks on to prevent slipping. You can choose between the static handles for an easier work out, these also have...

Review of Infiniti 12 - Program Elliptical Cross Trainer

Infiniti Cross Trainer - Best workout machine available.

Advantages: Small enough to fit in any room, professional build quality, advanced programs
Disadvantages: Doesn't come with a sauna!

...Why you should buy this... Stop paying that £25 monthly direct debit to the gym you have entered roughly 6 times in the last 11 months, enjoy the comfort of your own home and save time and money at the same time. Save up for a few months and you can buy yourself a top of the range cross trainer which is just as good if not better then what your gym has already. Thats what I did! The infiniti trainer is brilliant, its the smallest available which does the job, its programs are perfect and the actual workout is second to none. The machine currently sits in my bedroom, standard 4mx4m size and doesnt take up much room at all. Having this in my bedroom is so convenient, if I get home from a hard stressful day at work I just jump on it for 30 mins and watch a bit of tv whilst doing so. The ellipitical cross trainer is basically...

Lateral Thigh Trainer - worth the money?

Advantages: Easy to assemble, simple to use
Disadvantages: Unreliable, doesn't live up to some of its claims

...I was lured into buying the Lateral Thigh Trainer with the promise that it was the only exercise machine I would ever need. As well as being able to vary the resistance (from slow to fast) for a cardio or toning workout, it also claimed to be able to tone up your thighs, bottoms, hips and tums. How it works: Unlike traditional steppers which just move up and down, the Lateral Thigh Trainer adds a twisting motion which means you also move from side to side. In this way, you are able to target more muscle groups for an efficient workout. Additionally, there is a resistance bar at the front which goes from numbers 1-7. Number one has the most resistance giving an intense toning workout, and number seven has very little resistance. This means you can step faster for a cardio-vascular workout. A calorie counter is included and has...
