Review of The Uppertone by
freecashuk
Advantages: Independant Weight Settings, Easy to use, Designed by a Quadraplegic
Disadvantages: Takes up a large amount of space,it is a bit expensive.
...The Uppertone is as far as I am aware, the only Fitness Gym which has been specifically designed for people with a Spinal Cord Injury of c4-c5 and below.
What sets this piece of equipment apart from the others though, is that a person with a c5 injury, can adjust all the weights and settings themselves without third party assistance. This is great if you value your independance, and I quite regularly dissapear to have a quick work out on mine while my wife and daughter are watching the television.
The Uppertone offers sixteen different exercises, some of which may only be suitable for Paraplegics, however I soon noticed after using the gym, that my transfers were better, and also my pushing improved when travelling outside.
You will need quite a large are to store this gym though, and as it is very heavy it is best to have it in a room...

Advantages: AC Milan are the best-got to have this shirt
Disadvantages: No disadvantages to wearing this shirt
...A C Milan are no doubt the best team in the world! You have just got to have this shirt. I wear mine with pride and I am a girl!
They have the best players in the world and with trophy after trophy in their trophy room they are undoubtedly the ultimately best team in the world. They are top of their own league and will soon be back where they belong as the top team in the world, I have bought their shirts every year now for five years, if that doesn't tell you something I don't know what else to say! You should wear your new A C Milan shirt with pride! So go on and buy this shirt now!...
