Power Wheel II Instructional DVD Review

I can't think of any reason. If you purchase the Power Wheel II, this DVD is included. My advice is save your time and don't order. In addition postage and handling has to be a profit center, I live less than 20 miles from the shipper and the charge was nearly $12.00. Yeah, this is almost the cost of the DVD.

Product Description
NOTE: Shipping outside the United States or Canada is not available.

The Power Wheel II video demonstrates how to perform a multitude of upper- and lower-body strength training exercises, including push-ups, leg curls, inch worms, and crab walks, by positioning the hands or feet on the wheel. DVD format.

Weighted Belt w/20 lb. Review

I started a walking program about 6 months ago. I found a very steep hill that I walk up & down. I've taken off 25 pounds, but I have reached a point where I am either going to have to add more hills or start running, niether of which I want to do. I bought this belt & started with only 6 pounds in the belt & let me tell you, it makes quite a difference! I feel the difference walking on a flat surface, but when doing hills, it is amazing how much more of a workout 6 pounds can make!

The belt is very comfortable. It doesn't pinch or bind. It has 10 pouches around the outside which each hold a 2 pound sand pack. It has a long velcro strap so you can really cinch it in place so there is zero slippage while walking.

I chose a weighted belt over a weighted vest because I think in the summer it will be cooler. I found another brand of weighted belt, but it was much more expensive.

This is definitely one of my better fitness purchases. Highly recommended!

Product Description
External weight pockets allow individual weights to be removed or added quickly while in use. Fully adjustable Velcro closure for secure fit. The 20 lb. belt includes 20 individual 1 lb. flexible weights. Belts fit waist size 30" to 46". Color: Black.

Olympic Muscle Clamps (pair) Review

I've been looking for some clamps that'd fit my olympic-sized barbell.All other clamps have been too big and slide off.These 'muscle clamps' are rather expensive,...however, they work!, and work well.They'll clamp on to 2" diameter barbells that sometimes run small on traditional weight clamps, (like mine).I'm using them on my squats, lunges, clean & press, deadlifts, etc., and my weights are staying balanced.Now I can focus on lifting the weight, not worrying about my weights sliding.I highly recommend this product.

Product Description
The Muscle Clamp is a quick release weight collar that has fast become the weight collar of choice. It's unique features make it a perfect fit for home, gym, school and club use. The design of the Muscle Clamp weight collar encompasses the knowledge and experience of education, coaching, engineering, fitness, strength training, and body building.

Soft Touch Med Ball Review

I like the idea of this ball, but in practice it's only okay.I bought this med ball primarily to use to add resistance to core work, and it does that well.It's also so small that it is not suitable for partner-based core work.I think it would have a lot better chance of going flying if I threw it or had it thrown to me.The most annoying thing is that it has developed a divot in its side that I cannot get rid of no matter how I squish the ball around.I don't think anything could have punctured the ball, so I have no idea why it has a flat spot.

I am looking into purchasing a heavier med ball soon, and I will be going with the harder basketball-style med balls.I don't want another ball that will develop flat spots.

Edited to add: I spoke with a very friendly Power Systems rep who instructed me to put "a few puffs of air" into the ball with a ball pump.She said that if that didn't work, that these med balls come with a three year warranty and that I could get a replacement!The puffs of air fixed, and I now have a ball that is actually ball-shaped.I will leave the review of the ball at three stars, but Power Systems gets five stars for standing behind their product.

Product Description
Add resistance to a variety of exercises or use in rehabilitation. Perform a wide range of core conditioning and upper- and lower-body exercises including crunches, rotational twists, push-ups, and leg raises. Ball fits in the palm of the hand allowing the user to move freely through a full range of motion during exercise. As conditioning improves, user may progress to heavier weights. Durable outer shell with filler. Balls do not bounce and are not intended for throwing.

Power Wheel II Review

I am very pleased with my Power Wheel II. I received my order quickly and assembly was easy. The exercise chart plus instructional DVD is like having a personal trainer break down the each movement and what/why muscle groups are targeted. The Power Wheel II hits your core directly like a laser. I felt the burn 12 seconds into the first exercise. I let my brother try it and he liked it so much I gave it to him to take home. I am now going to order another. I definitely recommend the Power Wheel II. My customer experience was excellent!
