Review of Bodi-Tek Power Vibration Trainer

Certainly Vibrated My Wobbly Bits

Advantages: Has toned my bum and tum perfectly
Disadvantages: Nothing I love it.

...INTRODUCTION Last year me and my husband joined the gym as we have tried to become much fitter, due to a slight bit of weight gain around the middle regions. We would go six nights a week after work, and we certainly managed to reduce the excess weight but after being happy with my weight I was only having a thirty minute work out, for the sake of it but late last year the gym got refurbished and they introduced new machines. The best machine by far were these power vibration massagers, at first I thought they were very weird and stayed clear but after the gym instructor explained how they were used I was amazed and then spent every minute I could on it at the gym. My husband started lifting but he soon got into this as well, so for Christmas I treated him to his very own vibrating massager toning machine as they had at that point...

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

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...

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...

Vibrating Value

Advantages: vibration helps to settle baby
Disadvantages: no obvious on/off indicator

...Ok … well …. It is 4:30 in the morning and our 5 week old boy just wont settle. Walking around the room, singing, the dummy, feeding, all of them have been tried and failed … the only thing left to try is the tumble dryer …. Strange?!! I have no idea how we came across the fact that Reuben would settle pretty much straight away when he was in his chair in front of the tumble dryer, but I am sure glad we did!! He was very unsettled for the first month or so of his life because of an undiagnosed dairy intolerance that meant that his stomach was very uncomfortable, especially after feeding. Once the tumble technique (as it became known to us!!) was found it was used pretty often. Anyway … what does that little bit of information have to do with the Mothercare deluxe vibrating cradle? Well, we had...

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!

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.

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...
