SuperMat Treadmill Mat
The SuperMats® TreadSolid, 3-ft x 7.5-ft equipment mat is intended for use with extra-long treadmills, elliptical cross trainers and rowers. The tough design also allows it to be used for some commercial applications. The durable, solid vinyl PVC construction helps protect floors and carpets from damage and also dimishes vibration and muffles noises. It's easily cleaned with a damp cloth.Customer Review: Daily Treadmill User
We purchased 3 of these mats recently for 2 treadmills and an eliptical. I must say that the mats are not as durable as I was expecting. They are very soft and it's difficult to position the heavy exercise equipment on the mat without it rolling up underneath. The mats have also torn easily when the equipment is moved around. You would be better off with a much stiffer mat than this one.
Customer Review: Wrong size shipped twice
The description on Amazon.com said that it was 7 feet long. Twice they sent me a mat that was only 6 feet long. I called customer service and they said that they must not actually have the product that I ordered. I cancelled my order and ended up ordering a different mat (7 feet long) that unfortunately was twice the price.
Drishti Extra Thick Yoga Mat
Same high quality as the Drishti Standard Mat, but twice as thick! More padding for those sensitive elbows and knees. Provides extra cushion without being squishy and unstable. Available in 6 colors.Customer Review: Love it!
Have used it for about a month now and LOVE IT! It is thick and comfy and love the color (purple). Highly recommend it! Bought the mat after using a friend's and renting from the studio. When I got it I washed it as recommended, a couple of times, with some dishsoap and water . Probably washed it 3 times in the first week. I usually use a towel over my mat (hot yoga) so I have never experienced a slip or other problem.
Customer Review: Too Squishy
I liked the thickness of this mat, but it is not very dense so you sink in. I hated that standing on the mat left temporary footprints and balancing on this mat was difficult too.

Customer Review: Stamina Inversion Stretch Station
I ordered this product for my daughter who had a similar aparatus several years ago. She has some scoliosis, works standing on her feet all day, and basically needed something to assist in relieving back discomfort and pain. She is happy with the piece of equipment, but says there are a couple of things which caused her not to rate it a 5. The positives are that it was easy to put together, it is easy to get in and out of by herself, it does help with her back problems. The negatives as she told me are that it takes up quite a bit of room in her small apartment. Even though it folds up, if it is stood up against the wall when folded, it is top heavy and just flips over. For her, to store it under the bed, would not be good because then it would fit in the senerio of "Out of sight, out of mind, and it would not be used as often as she does use it now, and because of the more effort to drag it out from under the bed, she would not use it as often." She would agree that seems to be a bit of a a lazy streak on her part, not to drag it out, but that is what she told me. Also, she finds that if she "hangs" in it more than 5 minutes at a time, then the blood rushing to her head causes her to have a headache. That may be her physical makeup rather than the machine. She said, she has always gotten a headache when doing things with her head down, things like standing on her head, etc. Over all she is happy with the apparatus because it does help relieve some of her back discomfort.

Featuring a battery-operated monitor displaying speed, distance, time, calories burned, and heart rate, this two-in-one machine combines a recumbent bicycle and a rower for two types of low-impact strength and cardio workouts. Moving a pin switches from one mode to the other. In either bicycle or rower mode, magnetic resistance provides a quiet, smooth workout, whose intensity can be varied by turning an eight-position knob without interrupting a workout. A foam-padded seat glides on a ball-bearing roller system along an aluminum rail during rowing, and adjusts to fit different leg lengths for recumbent biking.

For rowing, a heavy-duty nylon strap and foam grips keep hands stable and comfortable. Assembled, the machine measures 74-1/4 inches long x 23-1/2 inches wide x 34 inches high and weighs 108 pounds. Folded for storage, it measures 34 inches long x 23-1/3 inches wide x 56-1/2 inches high. About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.
The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.
Customer Review: Excellent dual use home exercise machine
First, it's important to note that you're not going to get the same level of quality with home fitness equipment as you will in the gym. This is because the price of the equipment you see in the gym is much higher. Keeping this in mind, I want to offer my thoughts on this combination rower/recumbent bike. I am used to gym quality exercise equipment, but needed something good for home use when my schedule or the weather wouldn't allow me to get to the gym. I've had bad experiences with home exercise equipment before, so decided to give this one a try. I was pleasantly surprised. First, I want to comment on getting the unit set up. I am not an expert at putting things together. In fact, I'm pretty lousy with my hands. But, I put this unit together in around an hour with a couple of simple tools and made no mistakes. Simply put, the instructions are clear and not beyond what the average (or below average) person can handle. Second, the unit itself is well made. Honestly this is the first home machine I've actually felt confident using on a regular basis (and that didn't make it to the garage in the first three months). Most home equipment feels like it's going to fall apart, but this unit is sturdy, yet the movement is fluid. It easily converts from bike to rower and back with a simple movement and locking or unlocking of the seat. The computer has many features like calories, heart rate, distance, odometer, etc. However, like most home equipment the computer's accuracy is suspect, at least on calories (there's no option to input weight), and on my computer, the heartrate monitor only works part of the time. Still, I can live with this since I can easily take my own pulse. The unit is rather large but can easily be "folded up" to get it out of the way. Third, the bike and rower are a great combination for fitness since you can easily work upper and lower body with the simple movement of a seat. In fact, although difficult, rowing is probably one of the best all around total body workouts. This unit has multiple difficulty settings so that people of all fitness and strength levels can use it. The "two for one" aspect is probably my favorite part since it was the one piece of home exercise equipment my wife and I could agree on! She enjoys the bike while I love the rower. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this combination rower/recumbent bike. Although not quite gym quality, for the relatively low price, you get a high quality, sturdy, dual exercise machine. It's passed my personal test: after nearly a year it's still in my house, in one piece, and above all, being used!
Customer Review: We love it
We are very pleased with this bike/rower. It shipped much faster than promised, was easy to assembly and is easy to operate. It is smooth sailing to use, and no trouble to switch exercises in the middle of a workout, which helps us stay at it for more than 30 minutes. And it is quite enough to use while the TV is on in the same room and not disturb anyone. We are very satisfied with our purchase.

Body Solid PUB34 Pro-Style Doorway Chinning Bar
Work out your back and biceps in the comfort of your living room with this Body Solid pro-style chinning bar. Designed to mount quickly and easily in most doorway frames, the bar is made of heavy-gauge, reinforced steel, with a frame that adjusts from 29 to 38 inches wide. More significantly, the bar extends a full 10 inches out and away from the doorway frame, giving you plenty of head clearance when performing full-range pull-ups. Other features include a convenient lift-out design for easy storage, a 300-pound weight capacity, and all mounting hardware. The chinning bar carries a lifetime warranty.
Customer Review: Body Solid Chinning Bar works OK
This was a decent pull up bar for a reasonable price. I was looking for something that would not require me to put anything permanent in the doorway. Unfortunately, I missed the fact that this product actually did require brackets to be screwed into the doorframe, which prevents closing the door completely. This would not be a problem in an infrequently used doorway where the door never needed to be closed. This may have been my fault for not reading the information about the bar included on the website. Assembly of the metal frame pieces was straightforward and installation was fairly simple (screwing an included bracket into each doorframe). The bar seems quite sturdy for me(175 lbs), but the diameter of the bar was a bit too small for my hands. A firm rubber slip-on grip to enlarge the bar and make the smooth surface easier to hold onto, would be a great addition.
Customer Review: Hassle
Did not come with instructions, so i had to stare at the photo to figure out how to assemble the product. Also does not come with screws and nuts, so an extra trip to the hardware store is necessary. Why buy online when a trip has to be made to use the product.

The exercises might work for getting fit if the Body Wedge 21 foundation was of a better quality. This air blown structure is not durable for proforming most of the 21 exercises.
Customer Review: Body Wedge 21 THE BEST!!!!!
I ordered the Body Wedge 21 after using it at the fitness club at a Marriott Resort in California. I just love that on this ONE piece of equipment you can do 21 exercises that cover all the target zones. The elevation of the inflatable Body Wedge 21 is comfortable and will not strain your back muscles like the exercise ball sometimes does. It is such a COMPLETE workout for only doing 21 exercises. It is portable so that I can bring it on vacation with me. This is the least expensive piece of exercise equipment I own and I just love this one the BEST!!!
Pull Up Chin Up Push Up Sit Up Multi Function Bar
Customer Review: Doesnt fit at all!!!So I bought this for my boyfriend because he would like to workout when hes in my apt, since he wouldnt be able to go to the gym. Once it came and we put it together, it didnt fit any of my door frames because the curved part of the bar is too long.... I dont know what kinfd of door the guy in the picture is using it on but it was def NO WHERE CLOSE TO fitting my doors..... so now he uses it just for the dips, but we were SO disappointed because the main reason he wanted it was for the pull-ups. The only reason i didnt send it back was because I didnt feel like going through the extra hassle.
Customer Review: Nice product
If you want to do pull ups this thing works. Just make sure that you a door with a frame so that the hooks on top can latch on. I do pull-ups hanging out of my front door for all my neighbors to see because that is the only door in my apartment that has a frame.

Drishti Standard Yoga Mat
The best mat in its class that we've seen! We know that finding a quality mat in the sea of mats offered in the world can be tricky, so we were determined to design an excellent one that could also be sold for a great price. And so we present to you the Drishti mat! Its non-slip surface and slight cushion make it the perfect indispensible yoga tool.Customer Review: Two Sides to All Yoga Mats; Know Which Side is Up
Yoga mats come in three basic thicknesses. At 1/8" this mat is of average thickness. At 24" x 68" it is also the standard width and length. Mats that are about half a thick as this one are good for travel or placing under a thicker mat to provide more traction. The thick mats (3/16") are about 50% thicker than this one and are designed for those who need or want extra cushion. There are two sides to this and nearly all yoga mats. Look carefully at the 'bumps' on each side of the mat. The larger bumps are designed to face upwards to cushion your hands, feet, and knees during poses while keeping your body from dangerously slipping out of alignment. The smaller bumps are designed to face downwards to grip the floor and keep the yoga mat from sliding. Many mats have a label on one end with the name of the brand. This is typically, but not always, located on the 'up' side. The bumps will tell you for sure. This yoga mat will increase in softness and stickiness with use. (So do most mats.) They start out mildly sticky and increase in stickiness the more they are used. You will want to wash your mat when it first arrives so as to remove the thin film they get on their surface during the manufacturing process. Instructions for washing the mat are included. Once you've washed and dried your mat you're ready to begin! After using it for a while, if you find the mat decreasing in stickiness each time you pull it out, this is the typical sign that a light coating of dust or too much body sweat has accumulated on your mat and it needs a light hand washing with very diluted soap and water. After washing, roll your mat in a thick towel to squeeze out the excess water, otherwise it will take forever to dry in the air. Then, air dry your mat unrolled, inside, and away from sunlight. (Hanging over the shower bar works nicely.) When you first unroll your mat you will find one end to be a bit curled. Simply alternate the direction you roll your mat (top outside once, then bottom outside next) or the end you start from (curled end once, flat end next time) and you'll find it straightening out more or less over time. I recommend buying your own yoga mat even if your yoga studio or gym provides them for you. I've worked in many studios and gyms over the years. Sometimes management has mats cleaned often, sometimes not. If you bring your own mat you always know where it's been. :o) Plus, owning your own mat may encourage you to begin valuable practice at home. For my students who have trouble with their knees in some of the poses requiring the body weight to rest on a knee, I recommend temporarily folding over one end of the mat to get double cushion under the knee while still leaving one layer under the rest of the body. This saves you having to haul more than one mat out each time you practice which can be discouraging especially to the beginner.

They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.
The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.
Customer Review: Excellent dual use home exercise machine
First, it's important to note that you're not going to get the same level of quality with home fitness equipment as you will in the gym. This is because the price of the equipment you see in the gym is much higher. Keeping this in mind, I want to offer my thoughts on this combination rower/recumbent bike. I am used to gym quality exercise equipment, but needed something good for home use when my schedule or the weather wouldn't allow me to get to the gym. I've had bad experiences with home exercise equipment before, so decided to give this one a try. I was pleasantly surprised. First, I want to comment on getting the unit set up. I am not an expert at putting things together. In fact, I'm pretty lousy with my hands. But, I put this unit together in around an hour with a couple of simple tools and made no mistakes. Simply put, the instructions are clear and not beyond what the average (or below average) person can handle. Second, the unit itself is well made. Honestly this is the first home machine I've actually felt confident using on a regular basis (and that didn't make it to the garage in the first three months). Most home equipment feels like it's going to fall apart, but this unit is sturdy, yet the movement is fluid. It easily converts from bike to rower and back with a simple movement and locking or unlocking of the seat. The computer has many features like calories, heart rate, distance, odometer, etc. However, like most home equipment the computer's accuracy is suspect, at least on calories (there's no option to input weight), and on my computer, the heartrate monitor only works part of the time. Still, I can live with this since I can easily take my own pulse. The unit is rather large but can easily be "folded up" to get it out of the way. Third, the bike and rower are a great combination for fitness since you can easily work upper and lower body with the simple movement of a seat. In fact, although difficult, rowing is probably one of the best all around total body workouts. This unit has multiple difficulty settings so that people of all fitness and strength levels can use it. The "two for one" aspect is probably my favorite part since it was the one piece of home exercise equipment my wife and I could agree on! She enjoys the bike while I love the rower. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this combination rower/recumbent bike. Although not quite gym quality, for the relatively low price, you get a high quality, sturdy, dual exercise machine. It's passed my personal test: after nearly a year it's still in my house, in one piece, and above all, being used!
Customer Review: We love it
We are very pleased with this bike/rower. It shipped much faster than promised, was easy to assembly and is easy to operate. It is smooth sailing to use, and no trouble to switch exercises in the middle of a workout, which helps us stay at it for more than 30 minutes. And it is quite enough to use while the TV is on in the same room and not disturb anyone. We are very satisfied with our purchase.

The exercises might work for getting fit if the Body Wedge 21 foundation was of a better quality. This air blown structure is not durable for proforming most of the 21 exercises.
Customer Review: Body Wedge 21 THE BEST!!!!!
I ordered the Body Wedge 21 after using it at the fitness club at a Marriott Resort in California. I just love that on this ONE piece of equipment you can do 21 exercises that cover all the target zones. The elevation of the inflatable Body Wedge 21 is comfortable and will not strain your back muscles like the exercise ball sometimes does. It is such a COMPLETE workout for only doing 21 exercises. It is portable so that I can bring it on vacation with me. This is the least expensive piece of exercise equipment I own and I just love this one the BEST!!!

Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike / Rower
Featuring a battery-operated monitor displaying speed, distance, time, calories burned, and heart rate, this two-in-one machine combines a recumbent bicycle and a rower for two types of low-impact strength and cardio workouts. Moving a pin switches from one mode to the other. In either bicycle or rower mode, magnetic resistance provides a quiet, smooth workout, whose intensity can be varied by turning an eight-position knob without interrupting a workout. A foam-padded seat glides on a ball-bearing roller system along an aluminum rail during rowing, and adjusts to fit different leg lengths for recumbent biking. For bicycling, oversized pedals and adjustable foot-straps hold feet securely to improve pulling motion, in addition to pushing motion. For rowing, a heavy-duty nylon strap and foam grips keep hands stable and comfortable. Assembled, the machine measures 74-1/4 inches long x 23-1/2 inches wide x 34 inches high and weighs 108 pounds. Folded for storage, it measures 34 inches long x 23-1/3 inches wide x 56-1/2 inches high. About Recumbent Exercise Bikes

Customer Review: SAVE YOUR MONEYI bought this bike for my son for his 5th birthday, and I am returning it. The assembly directions are complicated and impossible to decipher. I have assembled countless toys properly and effectively so it is not me - it is definitely the product and the sub-English instructions. Pieces broke during assembly. It is not worth your money. Trust me, you will be disappointed.

Because I have a small house I need to keep my weight bench and weights on the back patio under an awning. I had been looking for a mat that was not only strong enough to handle the vibrations but also one that wouldn't deteriorate with the occasional rain. I purchased both the 2x3 and 4x6 mats and they have worked out nicely. The mat absorbs the vibrations and the small raised surface on the bottom side allows rain water to go under the mat. All in all it works pretty well.

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.
From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.
While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.
Customer Review: Very sturdy, great machine!
I have run around 25 miles and my wife has run around 50 on this treadmill now. It is very sturdy, even at higher speeds, and has great cushioning. There are none of the fancy frills to the display that some others have, no MP3 player or speakers, but the machine feels better than any others we've tried. My only negative so far is that the programs do not allow you to change the base speed settings. So if it's an "interval" program, you're stuck with the pre-assigned speed values for each interval, which are very slow (4 MPH or slower for most). You have to manually change them each time it goes to the next interval.
Customer Review: Great purchase, easy to set up
Awesome! I have a Mastiff puppy who needed walking. She now will jump on the treadmill and look at me to turn it on. I use it too. For the price range, it is smooth, well padded, noise level is reasonable so I can hear the TV while walking. All in all, this is one of my best value purchases.
Bodyflex Plus - As Seen On TV! - Kit includes Gym Bar, Meal Plan, DVD Workout Video
Customer Review: Very nice for the time and privacy crunched.I work 8 hours a day and live with 4 adults. Getting the time and privacy to exercise in peace is hard to do. This product only asks for 20 or so minutes at a time and can be done in the privacy of my room. I've been looking for a marriage for those two factors in my daily routine for months.
Customer Review: All BodyFlex products work
I very hesitantly tried bodyflex at the suggestion of a friend. It is one product that absolutely works. I saw results at the end of one week, better results in 2 weeks. You have to keep it up, but it is not much time taken out of each day.

I have been looking for a unit like this for some time as I work out at home, and no longer have access to gym units. For me, my lower back has been a trouble spot so I really like to focus extra attention there. Ball lifts (Superman), dumbell straight leg raises, and other exercises help but they just aren't the same as focused resistance IMHO. This was the best price (with free shipping) that I had found so I took a chance. Overall, I am very pleased. The unit is solidly built. My only gripe is that the design around the adjustment ball has a little bit of play at the connection point (where the adjuster wheel spins). This is an irritation only as it has not affected action. The foot rest could be a little more comfortable as well, I guess. Other than that, the pad is comfortable and the action is smooth and ergonomic. I use 2x25 plus a couple of 10s (60 to 70 lbs total) for abs and back work. NOTE: The building process is for the somewhat mechanically inclined. I used metric wrenches (17, 15, as I recall). I also placed the parts out so I could see everything. The instructions could be far better, as others have mentioned. Take your time and use the photos as a guide and 2 to 3 hours later you should be there. Enjoy.

Been using the total gym for a few weeks. It arrived with smashed roller wheels, but it only took a week to receive replacements. The TG works ok, but to follow the exercise routines you have to hook and unhook the pulley from the board. This is VERY DIFFICULT to do and discourages following the routine. Also the board roll is bumpy not smooth as you would expect. On the plus side, the exercises improve flexibility and work well for men and women. So it's better than nothing, but at a high price.
Customer Review: So Awesome!
I bought this because I live in Minnesota and the winters are horrible. I have skipped on so many workouts because of the cold. I had to get three things this year in order to keep my workout going...One was a Treadmill. Two was a exercise body ball. Now the last thing, this piece of equipment..The total Gym! I was nervous about purchasing this product because of so many failed home gyms in the past. Would I use it? Is it hard to set up? Is it durable? All those questions ran through my head. Before I continue, I am a Male, 25 years old, 6ft 3, 215lbs, and average strength. Keep that in mind as you read. I am getting a great upper-body workout from this machine. I have noticed my back, arms, and chest all have significant gains with the help of this machine. I am committed to getting healthy this year. If you are, keep in mind, this product will not be the only thing you need to use. I have a treadmill so I can do some cardio, but running on the street/track is more preferred. I have the exercise ball to get some pushups/situps going. I also have WiiFit to add some fun into the routine. I also Ski in the winter and Bike in the summer. What I mean from that above paragraph is that this product will not change you overnight. It does work and if you combine using this with healthy eating, cardio, and some leg workouts somewhere else, (This machine does come with some leg workouts, but they are not enough for me), then you will see some gains. This does take up some space...Think roughly 10 feet. Super thin though. This is also pretty heavy to move. I have a room where I just keep it set -up. You can move it if you want to, but I like to keep it out so I remind myself to use it. Your hands smell like rubber from the padding after you are done. I suggest using some workout gloves. I had one minor part break during shipping. I will call the supplier and get a new part. It was a plastic knob that goes over the locking mechanism. I can still use the machine without this part, but it's annoying trying to adjust the height without this knob. This machine is definitely worth the price. I am very satisfied. I have noticed some gains, but I also do a variety of exercises with the above mentioned items. I guarantee you will not find what you are looking for if this is the only thing you work with. You need to combine some cardio and some leg work along with healthy eating. However, this mean is a lot more user-friendly than free weights and waiting in gym lines...Or in my case, not wanting to go outside to my car.

I love the Total Gym XLS! I use to be into body building and I worked out with weights allot, but the problem with weights is that they tend to put allot of stress on your joints and if your not careful you can drop plates on yourself or hurt yourself badly with them. Some people think that if you're into body building that you can't use the Total Gym to build huge muscles, but that's not true! Because many times even in the world of body building it's not "How Much" weight you lift, but "How" you lift that counts! With a little know how the Total Gym XLS with the optional weight bar can easily give you more than enough weight to start building serious muscle mass fast! For example, bear with me for just a little bit while I go into detail in regards to its serious resistance potential. To start things off the maximum weight limit for the XLS is rated at 400 pounds. Now just to give you an idea, no matter if your using the pulley cables or not, along with your own body weight you will also be lifting the weight of the glide board itself which is somewhere between 15 to 25 pounds, but I'm not positive on that, so for the sake of discussion lets say the glide board is 20 pounds. If you use the optional weight bar with weights and you add on, lets say, 100 pounds, you're basically lifting a 120 pound glide board along with your own body weight! Now, if you do the math, you will understand better why I say that the Total Gym "Can" be used for the serious Body Builder for serious muscle building!
Customer Review: Love Our Total Gym!!
We love ours, even our friends come over to use it. It's a smooth workout that helps take pressure off your joints, but still gives you a great workout. My husband was already in great shape, but found that even though he's strong and in good shape he still gets an advanced workout with the total gym.
Endurance B2U Upright Exercise Bike
The Endurance B2U Upright Exercise Bike features a friendly console with an easy to read display which helps motivate any user. The contact heart rate monitor has advanced heart rate programming for smarter workouts. 16 levels of smooth consistent magnetic resistance challenge any user and the oversized DuraFirm seat pad provides maximum comfort.Customer Review: Mediocre at best
The Amazon price for the Endurance B2U Exercise Bike, with free shipping, was the best I could find anywhere. The bike arrived on the day expected and was in excellent condition (Very well packaged in box). Unfortunately, that is where the good news ends. The assembly instructions were about the worst I have ever seen. Most of the instructions were small-scall images. There were very few written instructions and what ones there were were written by people who have never spoken English. They made no sense at all. I had a terrible time figuring out how to connect the magnetic resistance knob to the cable. Finally, at the bottom of the box was a second set of instructions that actually showed how to do this. The bike has a heavy duty feel to it, or at least heavy as it weighs well over 100 lbs. The seat height is adjustable and the seat itself is quite comfortable. The bike is extremely quiet even when peddled at high speeds. About the only sound I hear with the bike is my heavy breathing and my 51-year old knees popping. Its easy to listen to television while exercising without turning the volume up above normal levels. The absolute worst part of the bike is the "friendly console" that is very cheaply designed for such an expensive bike. The calorie counter does not adjust to the resistance level so, the bright guy that I am, I think I will always set the resistance at Level 1 since Level 15 doesn't burn any more calories per hour. Another annoyance is that there seems to be very little difference between resistance levels 1 through 8 and you have to get up to level 11 to 15 for it to be challenging. I have to say that the heart rate monitor seems to be accurate. If I had known what I was getting for my money I would never have bought the silly thing. However, now that I have it put together I'll probably use it the rest of my life as it does provide a way to get good exercise without leaving the house.

The FlexFit design is for athletes who require the maximum range of motion in a minimal glove design. Short finger length reduces unwanted bulk for easy finger articulation.Customer Review: Workable
It's too soon to give these gloves 5 stars, since part of any evaluation of such a product must be its durability, and I've only had them for a couple of months. So far so good though. The gloves are important to me because they protect the rings I wear and because they give me a consistent grip on dumbbells. Can't beat them for the price.
Customer Review: Best glove I have ever owned.
I've been a weight lifter for many years and have gone through MANY gloves. These are by far the best I've owned. One reason I love them is that they are not intrusive at all. The softer leather and flex section make them a pleasure to wear. They also for some reason seem to grip the bar better then any other glove I've owned. They also have the right amount of gel in the palms, if there was any more it would be annoying, so the girly men just have to look elsewhere! They do wear a little faster than other gloves, but not thats to be expected with the softer leather and flex sections, but is worth it since they are so great to wear. I give these gloves a beating 4 times each week and still on the same pair I've had for over a year. Would definately recomend!

The gloves are important to me because they protect the rings I wear and because they give me a consistent grip on dumbbells. Can't beat them for the price.
Customer Review: Best glove I have ever owned.
I've been a weight lifter for many years and have gone through MANY gloves. These are by far the best I've owned. One reason I love them is that they are not intrusive at all. The softer leather and flex section make them a pleasure to wear. They also for some reason seem to grip the bar better then any other glove I've owned. They also have the right amount of gel in the palms, if there was any more it would be annoying, so the girly men just have to look elsewhere! They do wear a little faster than other gloves, but not thats to be expected with the softer leather and flex sections, but is worth it since they are so great to wear. I give these gloves a beating 4 times each week and still on the same pair I've had for over a year. Would definately recomend!

About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.
