Several years ago, Pilates/yoga was the predominant Hollywood fitness craze. Now it’s the Bodylastics Home Gym Exercise Systems that use inexpensive, adjustable resistance bands to give exercisers many of the same moves they’d do on a gym machine. This equipment is best used to strengthen muscles and tone one’s physique. There are a number of workout videos that use resistance training as part of their routine. Exercisers do lateral lunges, resisted crunches, reverse lunges, squats, chest press and step-ups with their bands.
Bodylastics Home Gym Exercise Systems come with four color elastics (with different tension levels), two handles, two ankle straps, door anchor, user manual, instructional DVD and a travel bag. The $49.95 Basic Tension system offers up to 44 pounds of resistance for each side. Maximum Tension, which is their top-seller, accommodates up to 67 pounds per side. Their $104.81 Terrell Owens Super Strong Man gives up to 127 pounds per side for the professional bodybuilder workout. With any of these systems, exercisers can perform many of the same workouts as they would at the gym. They can sit on the floor, using the bands and the door anchor to mimic the row machines or they can hook the door anchor up high to turn the torso like a Bow Flex machine. These bands can work the biceps or the triceps, the glutes or the quads, the back or the chest, the shoulders or the abs.
More than 25 consumers at www.amazon.com have given Bodylastics Home Gym Exercise Systems positive five-star reviews. The overwhelming sentiment is that people just can’t believe a system so inexpensive can work so well! One personal trainer reported: “It’s certainly the best set of exercise bands I’ve ever seen, and in fact, it’s one of the best fitness products I’ve ever seen: modestly priced, infinitely versatile, well-constructed (very durable materials), and very cleverly designed with the foam door attachment and interchangeable handles.” Exercisers were also impressed at how portable the system is. “I purchased the max tension set originally for travel after becoming frustrated with the quality of equipment in hotel gyms,” a three-year Bodylastics veteran said. Another user wrote, “I have a fair amount of exercise equipment at home… but I was stuck in a routine and needed more variety, something that didn’t take up much/any space, and that I could take on the road or on vacation. This nifty little set of exercise bands is perfect!” Some workouts on the DVD are easy enough for beginners, but the intermediate workout “will kick your butt,” as one person commented.
Bodylastics Home Gym Exercise Systems can be used with a number of popular workout videos. Exercisers can choose from The Gaiam Resistance Cord Workout, Denise Austin’s Best Bun & Leg Shapers, Band Camp With Paul Katami, Stephanie Huckabee’s Power Fit, Cathe Friedrich’s Butts & Gutts, Leslie Sansone’s Walk & Firm, Amy Bento’s Advanced Step Challenge 3, Prenatal Workouts with Summer Sanders, The Firm: Sculptilates with Band, Karen Voight’s Ease Into Fitness, Michelle Dozois’s Slim, Strong & Sexy Body, 10 Min Dance It Off & Tone It Up and Core Attack with Trish Muse.
