Powerball Foot Trainer - Blue

Powerball Foot Trainer - Blue Review



If you have the slightest bit of coordination in your feet then using this will not be a problem! You do not need to go a million miles an hour to get a workout out with it, simply just move your ankle up and down. I have suffered from bad ankle ligaments tears and this thing has worked wonders to get my ankle back to full strength!

So if you need to strengthen your ankles or your just looking to strengthen your lower legs, then go for it! Just dont expect to score high scores like you do wen using the powerball with your hands.

Dont listen to the bad reviews, they onbiously have no patience to generate the slighest bit of coordination in their feet!

The only reason I have rated it as a 4 star is becuase its the second one ive had to buy becuase I broke the other trying to pull the strap too tight!

Foot trainer - C. Harrison - Cambridgeshire
Still getting used to the powerball, so have not used this yet, but I will



Not too easy to use - Mrs. Adrienne J. Torrance -
Just as the title says, this is not easy to use. But I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.



I would not waste your money! - Ms. R. Ashman - UK
I purchased this in conjunction with a powerball and was extremely disappointed that it would not fasten correctly to hold the powerball in place. It has three clips to hold the powerball in place and because of the size/shape was not quite correct you could only get two out of the three fastened at any one point. This meant that you can not use the powerball in it as it would just fall out immediately. VERY DISAPPOINTING purchase!

York Pushup Stands

York Pushup Stands Review



I wanted to get some push-up stands to help with my exercising. I've done push-ups for years without problems but wanted to see if I could gain anything or have a more comfortable experience with stands. These fitted the bill: nice and light, and by all accounts strong, so I gave them a go.

Overall I find them very good albeit slightly uncomfortable. They're quite an odd shape underneath the foam and as the foam is quite thin it does little more than provide a slip-free surface. While that is important of course, the thinness of the foam does mean you feel the rather square shape underneath. They would be better with a more rounded upper surface in my opinion for a more natural fit in your hand. The angle on the handles is nice and helps with posture and stability.

Pros:
- Strong, and angled handles.
- Light, unlike metal stands, so easy to stow away, and would be easy to travel with too.
- Much cheaper than metal stands and do the same job, so great value.

Cons:
- Not the greatest shape for comfort.

Overall, a nice product in need of a tweak, but hard to argue with the price and benefits over unangled metal stands.



York Pushup Stands Feature


  • Types of materials used:Plastic & P.U.Foam
  • Strong but lightweight push up stands with soft foam grips
  • Stable, non-slip design



York Pushup Stands Overview


The York Fitness Push Up Stands enhance the traditional push up workout to maximise the effect and give you the best arm, chest and shoulder workout possible.

Great item strong feel - Mr. R. Rochester - UK
This is a great item and for the right price.Had read some fo the reviews which all were good so when mine came i was so happy i made the right choice.They had soft foam handles and are made from strong plastic they were arrived in just 2days and was well package.so you would be made to buy the ones that turn as they have had not good reviews
(Rotating Press Up Grips)avoid that item....nd get these you will not be sorry.



Wonderful - Y. Mirza - Belfast
All in all this is a wonderful product. The handles are extremely light-weight and at the same time sturdy enough to hold large amounts of weight. Would definitely recommend.



Release your inner hulk! - D. Early -
bought these on the back of reviews, and im happy to add to the positives. firstly the price is more than reasonable, and these may well prove to be the first addition to my home gym repetoire. They took a little while longer than expected to arrive but i put that down to the christmas post.

they are suprisingly lightweight yet seem to hold up well to my weight, i'm about 13.5st 85kg, and they do flex a tad when i go down on them but hold themselves admirably and don't slip on carpet or hard flooring

no complaints at all, they're making muscles ache that i havent felt before, which can only be a good thing, i'll be sticking them in the suitcase to take on holiday for sure

i've not tried any other push up stands but can't see any reason to now i know how good these are..highly recommended!

Powerball Carry Case and Strap

Powerball Carry Case and Strap Review



Have used a powerball for about 2 years now & just loved the idea of this case when I first saw it. Now that I have it, I still love it. It's a nice home for the powerball - sturdy, snug, & let's face it, it's so cool! Was a little worried after reading a review that said it might be a little "too" snug, but for me they got the measurements spot on. A must buy for anyone who wants to keep their powerball clean & safe in a fitted jacket!



Powerball Carry Case and Strap Feature


  • A protective carry case to keep your shiny new Powerball safe and dust free.
  • Additional padding for added protection
  • Carry strap included

powerball case - H. A. Mitchell - South Wales
This product is very good, protects the ball well and is made well, it is also good value for money. Do you take your powerball with you then this is a must have for anyone.



Don't buy - Quality is really poor ! - Fey Robert - Boncelles, Belgique
Although this gadget might look useful (what I thought !), the quality is really very poor !
The case is a little bit too small and the zipper gets broken after the second use !

Not worth a penny !






Powerball - Mr. John Frederick Stafford -
Regretfully, despite following the instructions to the letter, we could not get the powerball to work. We conclude it is faulty and am returning it for replacement or refund.

Six Pack Abs

Six Pack Abs Review



18 months ago, I suffered a slipped disc in my back due to doing crunches and it still causes problems. So, 3 months ago, I decided to purchase this product (I'm always looking for items that make life easier and have previously purchased various abdominal toners) as I needed something to help me get rid of the large layer of fat that settled on my abdomen over the last few years.

The toner is a pretty solid piece of equipment and the resistance bands are easy to swap out. Using the equipment is pretty straightforward once you get used to it but, as reported in other reviews, until you do get used to it you may find the arms are being exercised.

As for results, well, I'm quite happy with them. My abdominal muscles are more toned and defined than they were, although I am following a low calorie and fat diet which is enhancing the results. I did not expect to suddenly develop this wonderful 6 pack with using it because it is a muscle "toner" not muscle "builder".

Overall, I really like this product. It is effective if done properly and in conjunction with a sensible dietary intake. Plus it means I don't risk my back doing crunches again.

I hope this review has been helpful



Six Pack Abs Feature


  • Targets particular muscles
  • Workout and train all your abdominal muscles with only a few sets
  • can be used to enhance numerous excersice routines
  • Adjustable tension bands increase resistance as required.



Six Pack Abs Overview

not quite the real thing - lizzie dripping - manchester, UK
i ordered this because i was looking to replace my 6 second abs which got broke, seeing the cost of this product which was advertised in the same way, i beleived i wqas geting the same thing at a saving- i wasnt and it's not.
the 6 second ab system even the 9 second one has a 'click' system of resistance as part of its selling points, its the way you know you arent wasting your time and energy repeating a task which basically isnt gonna get you any abs, this one has nothing in terms of clicks or resistance, is dead easy to do ( too easy) and therefore has been a complete waste of money because i'm just gonna have to go back and search ( and buy) again..but for the real thing this time!
not recommended, pay up and get the real thing instead.



Not fit for purpose - Mr. Justin Keenan -
In principle this should be a decent product, the idea behind it is sound, it exercises the intended muscles very well and it's a well designed rip off of the "6 second abs" machine but the build quality lets it down in a big way.

I used it fairly lightly 3 times. Each time I used it one of the resistance bands broke. A few pennies more spend on more resiliant rubber bands and it could have been a usable product, however as it stands it's of no use to anyone.

It's a shame that a company would go to the trouble of designing, making, packaging and shipping something just to scupper it over 1 little thing!

I ended up returning mine to Amazon for a full refund.

JML Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar

JML Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar Review



I've been attending the gym for months and months now and have been desperately trying to gain more muscle and failing. I then saw the advert for the Iron Gym and thought that I'd give it a go as it's a reasonable price.

Well what a great buy it has been! In the few months I have had it my family have commented on how I'm becoming much bigger and broader and with it hanging from my door I can use it as and when. It has been the best buy I have made and because it has multi functions it's ideal for doing push ups too. I've found the product so good that I have quit my gym and am reaping the benefits physically and financially!

For me, I would recommend this to everyone in a flash, and while I write this my brothers own Iron Gym has arrived too! Buy it, you wont regret it!!

pretty good - Amy J. L. Soska - london
this is a nice bit of kit if you dont want to look like a meathead and have a bar permanantly screwed into a door frame. it is easy to put together, can be put up in a flash and is fairly stable. provided you load your weight straight up and down it will not fail. if, like me, you like to be creative and experiment with angles, you will fall on your tail. so now i just pull up and down, which is fine.

check the size of your doorframe. this only fits 1 of my 2 available doors.





Top knotch - Mark M -
This is brill, certainly the best one of its kind I have used......Would and have recommended it!






Impressive - Nicky - London, UK
Its a very good product. Well built, looks fairly good and does not damage the door its placed on.
Its also a great price too.
Note that it only fits on standard door frames though

Powerball Eezi Starter - Blue


Powerball Eezi Starter - Blue Review



Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R30WNGZ4Z63DN This lil device is small and simple:
1) Place the Eezi Starter down somewhere firm.
2) Put your powerball on it, making sure the groove goes into the slot. (If you do that, the powerball sits nice and firm)
3) Place palm GENTLY ontop of the powerball and press the front of the Eezi starter down and watch it wind up!!!

Once you have the right speed, just take it off and start using the ball how you would, SIMPLE!


O.K, sure you can buy a spare string from powerball, or if your skilled enough you can start it with your thumb, but if you don't want to go through the hassle, then this is a must.

I think it's unfair that something so simple and usefull gets a bad review because people can start their powerball some other way.

Overall I give this 5*/5*! and recommend this for anyone who wants something to quickly start up their powerball hassle free.

  • The ultimate accessory for any Powerballer!
  • Sit the electric starter on your desk where it will be instantly available each time you want to
