Dynamic Stretching Strap Review

I am disappointed with this product as I thought I was ordering the stretchout strap which is all nylon and very durable which I give to my patients. This one is made of nylon and elastic. The stitching broke within 2 days of minimal use. The elastic may be more comfortable on the hands but the stitching is poor quality and just fell apart. Go with the Stretch Out Strap which I have been very pleased with.

Super-Hex Dumbbell 20 lb Review

Dumbbells came quickly with a reasonable shipping cost. I ordered a pair, one is 100% sturdy and the second one does a little shift where the weight meets the "handle" but it's not so severe that I plan on doing anything about it. Overall, good purchase and vendor.

Suede Power Belt Black (S) Review

After buying two leather belts from a local sporting goods store (and having both of them break because of a defect). I decided it was time to get a serious belt.
Switching from a 2inch to a 3 inch power lifting belt took some time to get used to. But now I would never switch back.
The belt is thick with double row stitching everywhere. You can tell it is a high quality belt.
Break-in time for me: About 2 months. Now it fits perfectly.

Power Med Ball 30 lb Review

Bought this for my son, he loves it. It has held up well, He fools around with it often with his brothers. It has made them all alittle stronger when thrown at you, it feels much heavier than 30lbs.

NRG Ball System 5 lb. Unit (Yellow) Review

For those seeking something "different" in their workouts, this product does give you that.But I found it very limiting, especially at 5 lbs.A 5 lb. medicine ball is great for many explosive type exercises, but with handles it just does not give you the same effect.For example, in doing "lunges", it's just not taxing enough unless you begin to do a high amount of repetitions...okay for endurance but not overall strength.A short bar with weight plates locked in the middle gives you the same with the advantage of adding weight if desired...same if placed at one end of a dumbbell bar for the wrist exercises.

However, if looking for some variety or training young athletes, the item has"limited" use and can be incorporated into an overall training.But I would not recommend it for all your workout needs.A regular medicine ball is far much better, or at least one with the handles built-in...these will give you more options at a lower price.

Deluxe Fitness/Stretching Mat 72"L x 36" x 2" Thic Review

It's big and cushy, but it's stinks badly like a can of turpentine. Even after airing it out for two weeks in the back yard, and then sitting on our floor for months it sill is a bit unpleasant smelling when laying on it.

Premium Versa-Tube Heavy - Blue Review

I bought four different colored (varying resistance levels) tubes at the behest of a terrific trainer -- yellow, green, red and blue -- from light to heavy. Her comment was, "Using these and doing exercises recommended and walking you can stay in very good shape." So far -- it's only been one month -- I can see a huge difference and the beauty is that I don't have to go to a gym, or if I travel, I can easily take these with me and have no need for any additional equipment, or an expensive gym membership. As a woman of a certain age (a-HEM!), these exercises are essential to build strength and gain energy. Using these tubes is fun and every time I apply them I am rewarded because they are simple processes, and make you feel productive in a very short period of time. Very cool product[s]...Honestly, I have not yet reached the point of using the blue one --- oooooohh, can't wait!

Massage Peanut Review

Out of all massagers this one is the best. Great for hands or feet for reflexology benefits. Or just leave it on your seat and wait for your girlfriend to sit on it best done if she just took a a shower. Soft rubber looks more intimidating than it actually is.
