Beginners give it a go not for EMS pros

Advantages: Beginners to give it a go
Disadvantages: Does not give kick or chrage for people who are used to the machines or want a buff work out

This is an OK product if your new to EMS machines to give it a go. But not if your a pro to them. The machine does not give intensive muscle work out. The work out with this machine would be like doing a few press-ups or sit ups etc... The straps are not big and don't fit my frame which is small to med. The plus is you can target small muscle groups which are hard to target like forearms and other muscle groups used to sports Keep in mind that this ...
...can use the gel which comes in the pack only a 5ml tube thou. Then use water or use ultra sound gel which you can get from boots etc... or about £5-6 for a 500ml tube. Lasts a whilte if you mix the gel with water on the pads (top tip :) ...

Review of Rio Slim gym Muscle Toner

A couch potato's dream...

Advantages: Tones and Firms!
Disadvantages: Costly to buy, but once you have it, it doesn't costy anything

...Before turning the Rio Body Builder on you have to apply some conductive gel on to the pads. A tube of gel comes with the set, but you can order more when you have run out. You get some straps that go around your waist to hold the pads in place. There is a dial at the front of the machine that you turn slowly until you have found the desired level. The machine when switched on, sends electrical pulses to the pads which stimulate the muscles to work ...
...just a tingling sensation. It does hurt when you have it on the highest level but you should work up to this level. You can have it on the lowest setting for a massage effect or stronger to build prominent muscles. You can exercise your muscles whilst watching television, whilst ironing, anywhere! The sessions take about 30 minutes. This product does work. Athletes use a similar machine when the have had an injury and have to rebuild the muscle. ...

Review of Rio Body Builder

V-fit Abdominus Tummy Trimmer

Advantages: Have definitely noticed a difference to my stomach. Enjoyable to use.
Disadvantages: Bit more expensive than others like it.

V-fit Abdominus Tummy Trimmer is a very good piece of gym equipment. I purchased it after wanting to tone my stomach and I'm so impressed with the results. It definitely hurt my stomach for the first few days of using this, and I could only manage a few sit ups with it, but after progressive training on this I can now manage a hundred plus. My partner says he definitely sees an improvement and I feel really chuffed. He fit the equipment together ...
...The added bonus is the digital counter that counts how many sit ups you do and how many calories you burned, how long you've spent on it and gives your heart rate. A definite incentive to keep using this equipment which most fail to have. The head rest is also very good as it supports my neck well, so no strains to worry about. It's also very durable and strong and sturdy, so even the stronger man can use this without breaking it. Its slightly more ...

JML Iron Gym a fantastic product

Advantages: Easy to use, durable, visible results in a short time and Safe
Disadvantages: Not easy to store away

...have bought this year! JML Iron Gym comes with easy to assemble instructions and takes literally 5mins to assemble. Iron gym fits onto almost every door frame in the house and with its foam handles and contact points it leaves no marks, no damage and wont put stress on the door frame! I have been using iron gym for about 3 months now and the results have been great i have put on 1 1/2 stone in muscle weight. The iron gym comes in an easy to carry ...
...that tells you how to use it, what types of exercises to do with it, how often to use it and it even has an information booklet about nutrition and what to eat to get the best results from using it. The iron gym has one small flaw and that is that you cannot easily dismantle it for storage which means its in the way alot of the time, but what i have done is left it on the door frame of the spare room right nex to the bathroom. Which means that everytime ...

Soultaers review on the Weight Bench

Advantages: Great for working on your chest, arms and legs.
Disadvantages: I cant really work on any other part of your body

I started weight lifting 3 years ago. I originally never worked on my chest because i thought i didnt need. Oh my God i was proven wrong. Realising i have big arms and shoulders and no chest just made me feel really silly. So i put my set of Dumbells down and started using the weights bench. At first i couldnt lift much, on average i could lift 50kg. After using the bench for a while i started feeling the burn in my chest that i was supposed to ...
...Now my chest is alot bigger and i dont feel stupid anymore for having one part of my body bigger than the rest. This bench is also good for working on your arms as you can do curls aswell. You can even work on your legs. A bench like this and a set of Dumbells is all you need for your body building life style. Just remember to always have someone spot you, theres nothing worse than not being able to life a certain weight. Trust me, every now and ...
