Aero Pilates

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

The Stamina AeroPilates Pro XP 686 takes all of the Pilates studio reformers to the next level. This is the first quality commercial reformer to include the patented Free-Form Cardio Rebounder, the Aero Pilates Pro delivers a complete aerobic workout, helping to aid in weight loss and improve your cardiovascular fitness. By itself, the Pilates method focuses on building a healthy, injury-free body by encouraging concentrated and controlled movements, thereby improving your flexibility, strength, muscular symmetry and balance.

The series of rhythmic Pilates exercise machines promote sleek and elongated muscles, and are noted for toning your abs, hips, and lower back. The low-impact rebounder workout fits perfectly into the overall Pilates philosophy, as it reduces the likelihood of injury while still promoting a fitter, stronger body. Plus, side-by-side comparisons have shown the Free-Form Cardio Rebounder is more effective in maintaining and reaching your target heart, more than a treadmill.

The AeroPilates Pro is a premier piece of equipment. It is built with a sturdy wood oak finish frame, anodized aluminum rails, no-seam tracks, and a smooth and stable carriage glide system with eight inline skate wheels (four vertical wheels and four side wheels). This machine also comes standard with five color-coded springs: two yellow springs that provide light resistance, two blue strings that provide medium resistance, and one red spring for heavy resistance. And the craftsmanship extends to the comfort features as well, with an adjustable, three-position headrest and a four-position, padded foot bar that fits almost any user.

This particular version of the AeroPilates Pro comes with a Cadillac tower and mat accessory kit. The tower advances your reformer workout by helping increase your abdominal strength, core strength and stability, flexibility, balance, and coordination. The pair of oversized twin Cadillac mats (28 by 82 inches) contribute by fitting over the carriage, making it quick and easy to switch to the tower workout. We have plenty of reviews you can read.

Hampton Dura Bell Dumbbells

Monday, April 13th, 2009

Hampton Dura Bell Dumbbells w/ ergonomic chrome handle offers one of the best innovations in the fitness equipment industry since the grip plate. The structural integrity of the Dura-Bell weight set is guaranteed! Hampton Fitness holds the U.S. patent on a round cylinder head that is screwed onto the end of a solid dumbbell handle, then reinforced with a quarter-inch roll pin through the head and handle itself. These weights are guaranteed not to come loose!

Other dumbbells sets use hexagon-shaped heads and rubber-coating which causes the rubber to tear from the inside out. Unlike its competitors, Hampton uses virgin rubber. The competors rubber weight sets are made with a scented recycled rubber. This maybe a little cheaper than the virgin rubber, but in the long run, these dumbbells just will not wear out.

Features:
1. Dura-Bells: 5-125 lbs. Weights come in pairs.
2. Hampton was the first company to introduce this type of dumbbell bar to the market
3. Virgin Rubber Encased Heads minimize odors, decrease damage to floors and equipment and reduce   noise
4. No toxic smell from inferior recycled rubber
5. The 30 mm Ergonomic hardened Chrome Handles are secured to the heads of Dura-Bell dumbbells with patented process.
