York BBE Double Grip Medicine Ball

Advantages: Works many muscles, comfortable, very much worth the money
Disadvantages: Possibly hard to store

...After recently finding the whole gym and sports section I?ve found a new love of writing reviews on some of the hardest products, however, this goes out to those of you who are looking at starting your working out part of life (mine started not long ago, and unfortunately didn?t work out quite so well, but still, I?m staying motivated) and are starting to buy all the weights and equipment which you think you will need Specs Weight (including spin locks) 5.6kg (odd weight, tell me about it) Length is just over 3ft with about 8 inches each side to stack the weights onto. Metal spinlocks and the grips on the bar is just roughened metal.

Advantages: Very effective for dry skin and chapped lips
Disadvantages: Initial cost and strange smell

I got some on a deep cut by mistake once and whilst there was a slight stinging sensation it easily washed off and there was no further stinging. One downside for me though is the smell, which seems more medicinal than cosmetic and took me a while to get used to.

Advantages: Low in calories.
Disadvantages: The chocolate balls may get a bit lonely.

...double choc? and is it really a diet biscuit? so:- The Taste. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Not bad, not my favourite. It tastes quite good but the cookies are quite thin. As for double choc, the little chocolate balls are quite lonely and isolated. I do prefer to call them balls, they are not really chips. They may as well be called double chocolate ball cookies meaning literally, 2 chocolate balls in each cookie. I think I have counted 4 in some, but they are certainly not bombarded with chocolate balls. That is as far as I would go with regards to the double chocolate. The cookie almost tastes as it the chocolate is rationed, that is how it is diet I guess. They dunk OK, but being thin and not exactly densly packed, the dunkability is not fantastic. They do dunk though, but they are far from achieving status on my top ten dunkers... Read review
