Combining more than 20 of the best free-weight exercises into a single convenient machine, the Powertec WB-LS workbench leverage gym is a must for the serious workout enthusiast.

The high/low cable system and leg extension/leg curl stations, meanwhile, address such muscle groups as the shoulders, back, triceps, hamstrings, quads, and more. Finally, the WB-LS incorporates a patented linkage seat section that's mounted on an axis, allowing you to switch the seat to several different positions or pivot it out of the way for power movements, such as squats and rows.

Customer Review: D.C. Wright & Personal Trainer & Sports Massage Therapist
First,I would like to say, if you want a machine that can hold the weight load, and take the abuse this is the machine to have. You don't have to have a spotter,and you can train heavy with confidence, without thinking about the weight falling on you. It's built with heavy guage steel that makes, this machine strong and durable. You can do all of your compound movement exercises that really builds muscle,and mass, and many more exercises for isolation. This is the way to go!!!
Customer Review: best weight bench I have owned
This leverage weight bench is the best. I have looked at Sears, and several other stores, and nothing they sell comes even close to this equipment. It came in three boxes, with the heavest one at right over 125lbs.and bulky, so you will need someone to help get it in the house if you have stairs, or as I did use a appliance two wheeler. If you are not wanting to spend the money for professional equipment this is very close for a good bit less money.

Skipping sounds as an inexpensive and simple exercise that can be performed anywhere, either be at your home or a nearby park, you might even observe children skipping ropes on sidewalks. One you develop coordination between skipping and rope movement, you can skip for longer time without any miss.

1.Skipping rope can be beneficial in your exercise to lose weight. It is so effective in burning calories that an hour of skipping rope will make you burn up to 1000 calories.

2.The exercise is easy to learn, doesn't need you to look for a guide or coach. The best thing about this activity is that once you start skipping, you learn very quickly and in no time you start skipping like a kid.

3.It's inexpensive as you only need a rope.

4.It turns out to be fun when you start doing it with a friend or a group of friends.

5.It enhances your coordination and rhythm between hands and feet movements.

6.Strengthens your bones and increases your stamina and endurance.

7.When you practice it with your friends, it develops a sense of teamwork and social skills in you.

8.It makes you more vigilant and alert. It increases your attention skills.

9.It can be a healthy sport and competitions can be held for it all year round.

10.It can be exercised by people from any age groups and both genders.

11.Skipping enhances flexibility and athletic abilities. It improves your reflexes, balance and posture.

12.It tones your muscles in arms, legs and abs.

13.Without running it speeds your heart rate like that of a runner and so requires a lot of energy to maintain a good fitness point.

14.But skipping rope can be frustrating or boring as after missing a few jumps. Even if you have a good stamina and maintain a good coordination, you fail to skip for more than 2 minutes. This is because your calves and Achilles tendons are stressed when you keep skipping in the same pattern and when they sting you start missing.

So to skip without missing you have to keep changing from a single bounce to a double bounce or to a skip or a jog or a knee up. You should keep changing the skipping style after every 30 seconds to avoid fatigue. To avoid a miss you can even do side skipping or rotating rope without jumping. This can be to warm you up in the start or to avoid any halt during the sets.

Finding the perfect Workout Routines takes time and effort. These best workout routines is a great place to start if a person is interested in flat abs. The P90X workout routines is also another workout that will help develop flat abs.

Customer Review: Extremely Disappointed!
This bag did not meet my expectations at all. It is a lot smaller than I thought and there were already visable signs of wear and tear after just one day of use. No inside pockets or outside pockets for a water bottle or cell phone. And when you put your sneaks in the pocket reserved for sweaty clothes, they take up most of the space in the bag. I think the designers need to go back to the drawing board. Very disappointed overall. Will not purchase from company again.
Customer Review: Practical, fuctional bag
The bag is well made for the price. It is a little smaller than the dimensions in the description, but there is enough room for all my gym stuff, and the bag fits well in a locker. It is light and easy to carry; the padding on the shoulder strap is heavy duty.

With so many possibilities for equipping a home gym where do you start? It really depends on the availability of space, your budget and what your trying to get out of your exercise program. For me, space was a concern and I was wanting to find exercise equipment that would provide an overall workout at a reasonable price. I was in an apartment but was living alone. After many hours of reviews I decided on purchasing an elliptical trainer. An elliptical trainer provides an excellent cardio,lower body workout,a decent upper body workout and there is no impact to your body. Many fitness trainers believe that you burn more calories on the elliptical than a treadmill.I bought a mid range machine that linked up with IFIT. IFIT provides electronic workouts that control your machine. It provides variety. I purchased a tape with a workout situated in Hawaii. So as I exercise I actually take a hike through one of the Hawaiian islands. The only problem with my machine is that is does not have a motorized incline adjustment. I now believe that this is really an essential feature, if you can afford it.

The elliptical served my well for 6 years. I got remarried and moved into a larger house. Mywife did not care for the elliptical. She found it hard to get used to it and she really liked treadmills. We decided to get a treadmill. After my experience with the elliptical, we bought a feature rich treadmill. One of the features I would highly recommend is a large motor. A high HP motor will pay for its self by providing many years of reliable service. The other feature to look for is a belt system that is comfortable to walk on. You really need to try different treadmills out before you buy one. You can do this in any major sports store. Bring your running shoes and try it out for 5 min at a time. We purchased one that folds up and rolls out of the way. We do not need that feature at this time however we will in the future. Right now the treadmill is in the basement. We are going to finish the basement next year and plan on enclosing an exercise room.The room will be smaller than the area we currently have it in and its a great feature to fold it up out of the way providing more floor space for yoga or other floor exercises. Turns out that the treadmill gives a nice break from the elliptical. Again it provides variety, variety keeps you interested in exercising.

The only item missing from our home gym was weights. There were two choices, free weights or weight machine. We chose the weight machine. We purchased a gym quality weight system that provided just about every exercise we could think of without having to change equipment in and out like the old machines I was used to. All you needed to change was bar position, seat position and put a pin in the weights you want to lift. This speeds up the process. I cannot think of anything else you would need to complete a home gym.We have both weight training to build strength and cardio equipment to build stamina. The best of both worlds. If your on a tight budget I would recommend the elliptical trainer and free weights. If you have the money go with a good weight machine and either a treadmill or elliptical. Whatever is more comfortable for you. No matter what you decide to do, research and try out the equipment you want before you buy.
