Timex T5J031 Unisex Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this watch to replace an older Polar heart rate monitor with dead batteries in the chest strap and the monitor.The design of that product required me to send both units in for replacement by a Polar service center. The cost was nearly as much as the cost of this timex heart rate monitor.

I am so pleased with this product.The instructon manual was clearly written and easy to understand.There are just enough functions for me without loading the product up with things I will never use.That makes using it simple and I can remember how to use it without having to refresh my memory by repeatedly rereading the manual.

The monitor is an excellent watch when not using the heart rate features.Best of all I can change the batteries myself when the time comes without sending the thing off in the mail to a service center.

On top of all that the price was reasonable.This is one of those few purchases that exceeded my expectations because everything that it does, it does a little bit better than I had hoped for.

The watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet)--suitable for swimming but not for diving. All Timex heart rate monitor sensors have batteries that can be replaced by consumers without requiring them to be returned to the manufacturer.

Life Fitness C3 Upright LifeCycle with Advanced Console Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was going to purchase a spinning bike until I read a review on this Life Fitness bike and ultimately decided to purchase it. I really like that it doesn't require electricity and it is more quite than my treadmill. The only thing I don't like is that when you stop pedaling you lose your statistics and have to start all over (even though you press pause). This is annoying when you want to stop and stretch after warming up. It would be nice to have a battery back up or something so the memory keeps longer. All in all I am very satisfied so far. It is very sturdy, easy to assemble, and a challenging workout.

About Life Fitness
What started as one man's pursuit to improve his own physical condition, eventually turned into a global fitness revolution. That man was Keene P. Dimick, the mastermind behind the legendary Lifecycle® exercise bike. The story of Life Fitness began when two young entrepreneurs, Ray Wilson and Augie Nieto, saw the promise of Dr. Dimick's invention. Even though it was slightly ahead of its time, they believed the Lifecycle exercise bike could help generations of athletes, trainers, exercisers, and people everywhere live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.
Wilson and Nieto bought the rights to the Lifecycle bike from Dr. Dimick, perfected it, and sold it out of a motor home to health clubs across America. Despite the overwhelming odds and initial unpopularity of the Lifecycle exercise bike, the two passion-filled pioneers turned a two-man operation and a seemingly impossible vision into a prosperous reality. Along the way, they shaped the future of Life Fitness as well as the fitness industry, bringing cardiovascular training into the mainstream an
d helping ignite the health club boom.
Today, Life Fitness is the global leader in designing and manufacturing a full line of reliable, high quality fitness equipment for commercial and consumer use. It is the number one brand of fitness equipment in health clubs worldwide.

Insanity: The Ultimate Cardio Workout and Fitness DVD Program Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a former P90X junkie.That program literally changed my life and got me into the best shape of my life, even at 40 years old.

So I was pumped when I saw this one coming down the pike.Got it for my birthday last year. However, this is not P90X.That is not a criticism at all, just don't expect more of the same.

This is all floor exercises using your body weight with lots of plyometric and isometic exercises, cardio and core exercise that will work you - hard.And then it will work your core even more.Its primary focus is the core.

And it will get you into the best shape of your life.I say that with a few caveats.

It's broken into two four week segments with a "recovery" week in between. I completed the first four weeks, the "recovery" week and the first week of the second half of the program.Had to slow down the intensity because my job went to 12 hour shifts.

I now do it several times a week, when time permits.I can tell you this, though: I do the Plyometric workout from P90X when I need an easy day.My leg strength, especially the explosive kind, has increased tenfold.And my cardio is through the roof.

But this will kick your a** no matter what kind of shape you are in.Even the participants in the DVD have to quit and take breaks.It's that intense.

It is tough on the body, though, so be prepared.If you aren't in some semblance of shape, you may want to rethink this one.I pulled a neck muscle during the first week because I didn't breathe properly.It will tax your joints, your knees, your feet, your back.It requires serious focus.Breathing is key.Drink lots of water.And move at your own pace.

The caveat is really only this: you may lose quite a bit of muscle mass.This doesn't mean you will get less strong but with no exercises for the biceps or the lats (no pull-ups here), those "glamour muscles" will lose size.

People commented on my weight loss, even though I wasn't trying to lose weight. I just couldn't eat enough food.Your food intake will determine your results.So I shrank but, in many ways, I was stronger than ever.Size doesn't always equal strength.

You will notice your body change, your core will be the strongest it's ever been and you will be in incredible shape, even if you only do the program at half the intensity.

I give it a thumbs up but know what you want to get out of the program and understand what it is about before investing your time and money in it.

Sunny Health & Fitness Door Way Chin Up Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This chin up bar works good.I'm 160 lbs and I haven't had any problems with it.I also have an Iron Gym but my door frame doesn't have a top edge for the crossbar to rest on, so I can't mount it (it works good for push ups though).The Sunny Health bar fits in my door frame and I can still close my door (another bar I bought locally had square brackets and I couldn't close my door with them installed--other reviews about chin up bars with square ends on amazon also talk about this as a problem).This chin up bar has circular ends and doesn't rely solely on it's brackets to keep it in place (which is good because it didn't quite fit either and I could only put in 2 of the 3 bracket screws in on each side).In addition this bar extends on BOTH SIDES to apply pressure to your door frame, which helps to keep it in place and keeps the grips centered--unlike most other bars that only adjust on one side, leaving the grips off center.It also doesn't move/turn when you're using it or after you've used it.It stays in place good and I haven't had to readjust anything.The only thing about this bar is that the screws that came with it are cheap/stripped, (they were also a little too long for my door frame...)--but that can be fixed by a quick trip to the hardware store and about $1 for new screws.

Pure Fitness Inversion Therapy Table Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been having severe lower back pain for years and have been going to a chiropracter for about 8 months now with no improvment. I purchased this item 3 weeks ago and for the first time in about 3 years, I'm finally getting some relief. I am very encouraged that if I keep using this, my back pain will at the very least be greatly reduced. Although it still hurts, I can tell it's improving. The product itself is very sturdy, and as far as inversion tables go, you can't beat the price I got on Amazon. It was also easy to put together. VERY happy with my purchase!!

Smooth Fitness 6.75 Folding Treadmill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So hot in Florida so decided to get a treadmill. I paid extra to have their delivery men assemble it,which was fast and also they made sure it was working properly.Well worth the extra $200.
So far I am very pleased and am sticking to my goal of running 3 miles a day.
It was a toss up between this newer treadmill model and the Sole F80 and reviews were strong for both. Very pleased with my choice.I am a personal trainer and have used more expensive treadmills.I think this is a great buy if you're tired of running/walking in the heat!!
