Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: Heavy to move around
...After years of buying exercise equipment that usually end up in the cupboard in the spare room I have finally found a piece of equipment that I am pleased with.
I bought the Delta Infinity Gravity Walker 2000 for £99.99 about a month ago after deliberating for ages. As I was not sure if is right for me compared to the other walkers and skiers around I asked a friend who is a fitness instructor for advise. He advised that as long as I use it regularly then the benefits would show. I now wouldn't be without it.
The machine is dual and single action non-impact. This means that you can work your upper body as well your lower body without strain. The machine folds away for storage, which is useful if you don’t intend to use it very day. Due to its size it can be difficult to move around so it is best kept in the room where you...

Advantages: Cardiovascular workout, tones legs, arms and bottom! Will help you lose weight if you push yourself. Excercise releases endorphins which give a sense of wellbeing :O) Disadvantages: Can be noisy and safety mechanism limits how long a stride you can take. You need to be motivated to use it!
...Plus as it was on special offer at the time and there’s no better time to buy than when it’s on offer is there?
I bought mine from Littlewoods Index and it cost me 99.99 GBP at the time but they have put up the price to 104.99 GBP, which is still a bit of a bargain as they have still reduced the price from the RRP. I’ve seen this sold on various websites for the princely sums of 145.00 GBP so do shop around!
It was delivered to my door and it weighs approximately 4 maybe 5 stone (maybe even a little more). So getting it out of the box was a bit of a struggle. As the main frame of the Walker is already assembled it didn’t take long to add the rest of the equipment. I’d say 15 minutes using the easy to follow instructions and it was ready to use.
If you’re wondering what an air walker/gravity walker is exactly then let me explain. It...

Advantages: Plenty of capacity, comfortable to use Disadvantages: Can get sweaty, not very waterproof
...When they first appeared, Camelbaks were snubbed by many people, taking the "I've got a water bottle, why do I need to spend loads of money so I can drink from a plastic bladder on my back?" approach. Then mountain bikers saw the potential, having a tube dangling around your upper torso is far better than having a bottle attached to your bike, getting covered in mud. Slowly, the idea is cottoning on in other fields as well. Camelbak haven't specifically aimed the Rim Runner at any particular market it seems, but I find it ideal for use on the bike, both for multi-day off-road rides and commuting to work and also for wandering around town with doing my shopping.
Externally, the Rim Runner looks much like any other rucksack, the only give away being the blue plastic tube dangling down the front. This tube leads to a reservoir capable...

After seeing a trailer on a rental DVD I thought Running Scared looked really good and promptly added it to my online rental list. I quickly forgot about the film and when it turned up I couldn't remember why I had added it straight away (this happens... more
