Marcy TSA5762 Half Smith Olympic System

Advantages: No need to go to the gym as often as before
Disadvantages: May prove too easy for some, a cheat. Replacement pads and components cost money

...before buying the Bodi-Tek is to check whether you have any health issues such as a history of heart disease or a cardiac condition. If this is the case the company advises you to consult your G.P. before use. Famous links I am not sure how much of a recommendation this is, but allegedly athletes and other celebrities also us this system. The list ranges from Daley Thompson, Sharon Davies, and Michael Schumacher, to Prince Nasseem Hamed and Lionel Blair (?). I say I am not sure how important this issue is, because it could be just like saying; Linford Christie uses a treadmill, which means that you too can become an Olympic sprinter. I think it is nice that I use the same exerciser as used by these famous individuals, but I believe that the Bodi-Tek will only be as useful to yourself as you make it. So is it too good to be true then... Read review

Advantages: actually works within 2 weeks!
Disadvantages: money

...The Slendertone System Abs Belt is a very good device for getting rock hard abs. Not to sound too much like an advert here, I will tell you that the belt itself is very expensive, however if money is of no limit in buying a fitness belt, then this is the 1 to go for. I have tried many others such as the Maximuscle belts which only twitch your muscle fibres and do not actually benefit you in any way what so ever. Slendertone have been around for a while now and know what they are doing. Taking all of this into account, please remember that abs do not come through a vibrating belt. This is only help towards your perfect abs. Your diet and fitness regime must still remain healthy and active in order to prosper from this device. On a personal experience note, I have used this myself and saw result in 2 weeks. You will notice that you can... Read review

Advantages: Sleek,technologically advanced fabric
Disadvantages: expensive at 45.00/55.00 pounds if used for recreation

...The is my chosen suit for competition, and is very popular with many of the top swimmers (often seen in top events, and worn extensively in the olympics). The Aquablade range consists of the same material in a variety of different cuts. As with all competition suits, you find a style that suits you best, and matches your personal needs. While there is a full leg suit available as well as the high neck variety, i will focus on the olympic back suit. This is most definetly a competition suit-you wouldnt really have any need to pay over 40.00 for a recreation costume-you are better off purchasing an endurance fabric suit which will last at least 3 times longer. If i remember rightly, these suits, as with many competition suits, are only designed to survive about 30hrs of chlorinated water swimming, so they are not a cheap option... Read review
