Bodylastics Home Gym- a Lot of Benefits, But Not the Total Answer to Fitness
by
Tom Buck
Bodylastics, a well-known resistance bands home gym system, offers many benefits including tremendous cost savings, but is also missing a couple areas for complete fitness. See the following for a discussion of both the benefits and the needs.
Inexpensive With a starting price of $44.95, Bodylastics is certainly easy on the pocketbook when compared with gym or health club memberships, and home gym exercise equipment such as Bowflex. When looking at the 140 exercises shown on the Bodylastics website or the exercise manual included in the package, it appears this resistance band system duplicates those of any other system for a fraction of the cost.
Portable Bodylastics can be taken and used anywhere that has a door. The 2# compact carry all works well for travel and storage.
Look and Feel Good This is the primary benefit we all are after. No matter how inexpensive or portable, the whole purpose of using Bodylastics is to look and feel better than before – not only for our own self worth, but also in the eyes of others.
Smooth and Quiet Operation The completely noiseless and smoothly operating resistance bands are a pleasant change to the use of noisy free weights, and various machines. This not only benefits the user, but also those nearby.
Not Complicated to Use You will be exercising within minutes of opening the package. No detailed instructions are required like those for health club or home gym machines. Just attach the door anchor, clip on the bands, and start toning the body.
Exercise all Muscle Groups Bodylastics is like having a complete fitness machine. The resistance bands can be set up to tone all areas of the body including the chest, back, shoulders, arms, legs and abs.
A Quality Product That Will Last Bodylastics uses only the highest quality materials to give a long lasting performance.
Guaranteed Performance Bodylastics has an outstanding 3-point guarantee:
– 100% satisfaction with your health and fitness after regular use of Bodylastics for a period of six weeks.
– Visible results to not only you, but also everyone else after six weeks usage.
-Lifetime warranty for defects. Bodylastics will replace any damaged products for free within the first 90 days. Subsequently, any damaged product can be replaced for a cost of $5.95 including shipping and handling.
Does Not Include Cardiovascular Exercise To complete your fitness routine, some walking, jogging, or running needs to be included. This is an area that normally is available at health clubs via machines or indoor tracks. An inexpensive alternative is to simply walk, run, or jog outside in the neighborhood. Northern climates may hamper this routine during certain times of the year for all but the very hardy.
Does Not Include The Motivation of Working Out With Others Any kind of home gym means working out on a fairly solitary basis. This may take some getting used to in terms of self-discipline to maintain a consistent routine. I found in belonging to the YMCA that it helped to have others around that are working with the same goal in mind.
Thus, Bodylastics certainly offers a lot of benefits, but is not the total answer to fitness. A good cardiovascular workout is important and the motivation of working out with others has some advantages. However, when making a choice between using Bodylastics and doing nothing, the answer is pretty clear.
