Other Exercise and Classes

Like I mentioned in my previous reviews, I really love working out. I don't think that there is something on earth that can really make you liberate yourself to your every sense and be rewarded with the high and restful feeling after a particular tough workout. This being said, i have to admit that sometimes life is really too busy for me to really be able to indulge in some energetic, time-consuming workouts. That is why I bought the Power Plate fitness machine. When my sister first told me about this particular machine, she told me that this is the miraculous machine where you just have to stand on it and let the machine do all the work. Of course, I ...  Read the complete review

Exercise is something that everyone should be doing on a daily basis, whether this is walking to your destination instead of driving, or attending a class in exercise, or going to the gym. These are some of the ways in which I try to keep fit. Recently, I have stopped buying a bus pass, and started walking everywhere, luckily I live near Leeds town centre, so the furthest I have to walk is an hour to work twice a week. I also walk to and from University every day, and around uni, so this helps. I can feel my legs toning up quite a lot, and although I am more tired at the end of a day, it makes me feel good, and saves me money on the ...  Read the complete review

I couldn't find a section for a health walker, so decided to put it in here. We purchased this health walker from Kays catalogue approximately 2 years ago. It looks rather like a ski-ing machine as it mainly works out on your legs. It is a large framed exerciser, and you stand on two pedals to work out your legs, and there are handles so that you work out your arms at the same time. It feels funny at first as it seems like you are walking on air, but after a few minutes you really start to feel it working. The walker has a little digital reader that lets you know how many strides you have done, and how many calories you are burning off. ...  Read the complete review

The Rio Slim-gym proffesional is a great way to tone up those muscles whilst doing absolutely nothing. It is a electronic toning system where you put pads on your muscles, and it sends small electronic signals to the area through the nerve ending, therefore contracting the muscle which is basically what happens in normal exercise. I must admit when I first used it I didn't notice anything until the next day, when I was aching as if I had done normal exercise, I think it is such an easy way to get fit if you are one of these people who lead a hectic lifestyle and have no time for the gym. It is also great when you are dooyooing as you can just strap ...  Read the complete review

When you first start training its not the amount weight. The amount of weight is unimportant. If it feels heavy, then it is heavy. Doesn't matter what the guy next door is doing or lifting. If it feels heavy to you, then its heavy. But, above all else. If you rememeber nothing, remember this. Its *TECHNIQUE* that counts. You have to do the training exercises properly. All the weights, vitamins and protine powders in the world wont mean diddly squat if you dont keep your training strict ! The mirrors in a gym are there for a reason ! They are not there to ponse about looking good. They are there to help you keep your form. Making sure you ...  Read the complete review
