Best I've ever had

by Corey N. McLain from Stony Point, NC USA on 2010-07-30
Well built, folding legs allow to be stored in a small space. Seat is a bit slim but nothing to complain about!

Incredible Quality Incredible Deal - Too Good To Be True? Nope!

by M. Abbott from Los Angeles, CA on 2010-04-13
After reading the reviews, I decided to take a chance. This is exactly the kind of quality fitness bench I was looking for. It arrived in 3 days packaged in the Manufacturers Shipping box. Everything was there. It took me 5 minutes to open it and assemble it. It's made out of aircraft grade materials. Very Solid, Very well made. I was so impressed that I went ahead and ordered the Best Fitness Sportsman Home Gym. I expect it to arrive in a few days. If your thinking about getting this, I would give it a solid recommendation.

Great value

by pouncepounce from on 2010-04-10
I think this is a very good product for the given price. It's exactly what I wanted. Simple and compact with good build quality.

I bought the preacher attachment for it a few weeks after the original purchase.

A great bench for the price

by Chris Monson from on 2010-03-18
This is a great workout bench, especially considering its price. It is sturdy, it stays out of the way, and it is versatile. I have made heavy use of it without any wobbling or tipping, and it is comfortable to use.

Best bench for the price/practicality.

by Joe Shabadue from NY, NY on 2010-03-01
I have used this bench for about a month now and couldn't be happier. I'm 5'11'' and don't have a problem using it, although my friend who is 6'2'' feels a little uncomforable when lying flat. I live in a manhattan studio apartment and store the bench between my bed and dressor which is saving me $87 dollars a month on a gym membership. It just makes sense.

Great Bench

by Oklahoma, USA from on 2010-08-28
This is a great bench and is well wOrth the mOney. It really needs a preacher curl attachment. I am very surprised that such an accessOry is nOt available .

Impressive

by Brighten Miller from Las Vegas, NV on 2010-08-18
Product arrived quickly. I purchased both this and the Bowflex SelectTech Dumbell Stand and I am impressed by how heavy/sturdy they are. Assembly for both was a breeze. Bowflex clearly has their act together.

Very good quality bench

by ZRRIFLE from Washington, D.C. on 2010-07-12
As far as the quality and features, I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's very sturdy and I have no doubt this will last many years. The 5-position setting makes it very useful, especially for some workout routines that call for a 30 or 60 degree angle position.

However, as has been mentioned by a few other reviewers, the wheels are pretty useless for moving the unit. Also, and this is a safety issue: PLEASE be careful and make sure after you adjust the angle of the bench that it's set securely in the slot -- there have been a few occasions where the rubber/plastic covers that slip over ends of the adjustment bar, have caused it to slip out of position and the bench suddenly dropped down to the decline postion. I was fortunate that I wasn't injured, as this can cause major, or even disastrous results to someone holding heavy dumbbells in their hands, especially if they're facing downwards (such as a bench row position). I'm probably going to take off the rubber dampers altogether as I don't believe they're necessary for the bench to lock into each position.

DURABLE and EASY TO USE

by Skip1012 from on 2010-06-28
The bench arrived earlier than indicated and was pretty easy to put together. It's very easy with two people. It is quite sturdy even for a 250lb guy like myself. Very happy with the SelectTech Bench 5.1.

Bowflex Adjustable bench

by M. Sasse from Wisconsin on 2010-05-04
I ordered this to complement my SelectTech dumbells. The bench was relatively easy to put together. I liked the fact the bench has wheels so if I am not using it I can easily put it away in the back room. The construction seems good except for the rubber cushion at the base of the bench. This is where the bar rests when it is in the full decline position. The cushion is already breaking (I have used it 4 times), but if needed could be replaced easily. The cushion would not be needed if you do not use the bench in the full decline position. For the money the bench is a good deal since comparable benches are more expensive.

Description

The world of yoga is astonishingly rich in its array of schools and practices. Yet, as diverse as they seem, they share a common aim: the discovery of the essence of existence that can be found at the core of our being, and the liberation that comes from that discovery. With this worthy goal in mind, Richard Freeman presents an enlightening overview of the many teachings, practices, and scriptures that serve as the basis for all the schools of yoga—hatha, bhakti, jnana, karma, tantra, and others. He shows how the myriad forms are ultimately related, and can even be perceived to make up a vast, interpenetrating matrix, symbolizing the unity, profundity, and beauty of the ancient tradition. Richard's wide-ranging discussion includes the Upanisads and Samkhya philosophies, the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, the eight limbs of astanga yoga, the process and purpose of hatha yoga, and much more. He also explores the role of the guru, chanting, meditation, and the yogic imperative of offering service to others. All of this is applied to the actual practice, giving the reader the tools to digest and apply the wealth of information to daily life. The Mirror of Yoga will be a welcome resource to all yogis who wish to better practice the profound philosophy underlying their practice.

Description

The yoga and classical dance traditions of India have been inextricably entwined for millennia.  The exacting hand gestures, postures and movements of Indian classical dance can only be achieved through yogic concentration.  Conversely, the esthetics, symmetry, and dynamism of dance enhance the practice of yoga.  These two traditions, so complementary and essential to one another, are united and explicated for the first time in A Yoga of Indian Classical Dance. Twenty-five years ago Roxanne Kamayani Gupta embarked on a journey of dance and yoga, yearning to unlock their mysteries and discover their common origins.  As a twenty-year-old student from America she was miraculously and mysteriously absorbed into Indian culture, became a Hindu, and began an odyssey so unusual and unique that the reader will be enchanted by its telling. Choosing the path of the dancer, Roxanne Gupta accomplished what no Western woman had done before: being accepted and trained by Indian masters and then performing in the Indian classical traditions--from the palaces of maharajas to the arts festivals of Europe and America--while at the same time achieving a doctorate in the anthropology of religion and being initiated into a number of yogic traditions.  Having mastered the classical form of Kuchipudi dance and studied with teachers of the hatha and kriya yoga traditions, she brings together these two great streams of consciousness and practice. In this tantric approach to yoga and dance, expressed through the body and through a yoga of emotions, we see the traditions embodied in  a manner that embraces the totality of the human experience.  The result is the dance of the yogini, the sacred feminine initiatress who dances with one foot in nature and the other in the realm of the gods.  With extensive photographs of innovative yoga routines, Roxanne Kamayani Gupta distills her experience into techniques for yogic study certain to assist students of all levels to achieve a dynamic, beautiful, and graceful practice.

The first book of its kind

by K. Palani from India on 2007-01-30
It is indeed the first and - so far - the only book that attempts to introduce - to the western readership - the spiritual aspects of the classical Indian dance form of Kuchipudi.

So, is it about Natya Yoga? The author is clearly not a Bharata Muni, Abhinavagupta, or even a devadasi or a Siddhendra Yogi, but is obviously a very intellectual (and often a bit too philosophical) lady and made the book easily understandable for the non-Indian readership.

I have never watched Roxanne Kamayani Gupta dance, but, to judge from her book, she is (and has never been) not a contemporary Kuchipudi star like Varsha Ramesh who, true, cannot boast of a PhD and is too young to understand the western mentality.

To have some idea of what is inside the book:

I. Intro (Understanding Yoga and Indian Classical Dance)
1. Discipline and Desire (My Initiation into Indian Spirituality) - page 8
2. Dance of the Gurus (Meetings with Remarkable Men and Women) - page 32
3. Stillness at the Center (The Yoga of Indian Dance) - page 51
4. The Dance of Yoga (The sixty-Four Yogini Asanas) - page 59
5. Yoga of the Emotions (Spiritual Dimensions of Indian Dance) - page 150
6. The Dance of the Yogini (Tantric Dimensions of Indian Classical Dance) - page 162
7. Yoga of the Elements (Nature, Culture and Spirituality) - page 173

Half of the book is dedicated to the asanas but gives hardly anything beyond the instructions for the physical body. So, where is the Kriya Yoga element here then? The author fails to establish the connection between the asanas and the classical Indian dance.

Of course, nobody in India performs the yoga asanas in those kind of tights - sitting in a garden on a deer skin. And nobody in India understands what is "Yogini Asanas". Yoga Asanas is what is known. There is a bit too much of the romantic American feminism here. Roxanne does not know why the founder of Kuchipudi, Siddhendra Yogi, taught it only to men... So, why?

And - my god! - "Tantric Dimensions" are of course in line with the popular western (sex-obsessed) interpretation of the Left Path of Tantra. Roxanne believes that "since the advent of the birth control pill women's sexuality no longer inevitably results in pregnancy...". Roxanne could never explain why the original devadasis were celibate and why nobody was allowed to watch them dance in the temples' shrine's. Explaining it would hurt the pride of the sexually active (majority) part of the potential readership in the USA, of course. It would be shocking for them to read something like the Irumbai legend portraying the devadasi Valli. After reading Roxanne, an average American woman may be lead to wonder if the ancient devadasis, indeed, used to pull condoms over the lingams in the temples!

As for "Yoga of Emotions" section, there are full-page photos of Roxanne attempting to demonstrate the navarasas. While some of the expressions are ok, others (such as Raudra, Sringara, Vira, Adbhuta) are not clearly expressed. Roxanne should better learn what real expressions should be by, for example, watching the DVDs of SriDevi Nrithyalaya's virtuosos.

Ok, all in, if you were not brought up in India, the book is a must-read for all those interested in the yoga side of Kuchipudi. Even if 2% of the book gives you some kind of answer to the question, "Where on earth is Yoga in Kuchipudi???", these 2% are worth gleaning from reading the entire book.

I am quite satisfied with this book's price.

P.S. Since the time this review was written, there appeared a few interesting DVDs on Natya Yoga that make a far more successful attempt to reveal the esoteric Natya Yoga side of the classical Indian dance.

Beautiful book packed with more beauty

by Nina from on 2005-08-27
Ms Gupta is such a talented lady. A westerner who has really taken the art of kuchipudi to such a spiritual level, its so heartwarming really. Her pics are all so clear and she teached some excellent yoga postures. She explains them all so clearly and correctly. This lady is so dedicated to the art form it gives us an insight into what dedication really is. She has lots of history as well and everything is so informative i cant get my hands off this book. Its a work of wonder!! My aunt and i virtually compete to read this beautiful book. For those indians like me who love and embrace everything abt being indian this is a great one too. and for those art enthusiasts theres alot to learn from this beautiful lady@!!!

Wonderful Book

by Padma Chebrolu from Cincinnati, OH United States on 2001-06-26
Roxanne creates this book by combining her experiences living in India, learning classical dance and yoga. Her style of writing is exquisite and authentic. I grew up in Hyderabad speaking Telugu language. Reading about her experiences from Hyderabad, I felt like I'm back home. I met Dr. Nataraja Rama Krishna, great dance teacher few times. Teachers like him and others expect nothing but the best from their students. Roxanne incorporates some of the dance movements and hand gestures in the yoga exercises she recommends. It clearly shows, how classical dance and yoga are inter related. Any dance teacher would benefit greatly from reading this book.

Three in one

by from on 2001-06-25
This book is beautifully packaged, and Ms. Gupta links Yoga asanas and classical Indian dance, something so obvious, and yet the dance masters fail to do this to any extent in the present-day Indian classical dance training. The Yoga portion of the book consists of basic gentle yoga asanas, with photos of the author doing the asanas, good especially for beginners, but a video to accompany the book would have made it more complete and easier to follow (though, as photos go, it's as good as it can get without a video). It's a memoir and a journey of the author's first trip to India and how she, as an American, got interested in the East. It is full of hundreds of photos, large and small, of the author who shares her earthly and sometimes not-so-earthly experiences in words and pictures, making it a book on yoga, a biography and an introduction to Indian classical dance.

A Hidden World Revealed

Inspiring and scholarly, The Yogini's Mirror reflects undiscovered worlds inside the reader, moving the reader into a realm where anything is possible. Sincerity and Grace are humbly conveyed through personal experience and practical methods. This book is a way to easy yoga, accessible and full of joyous enlightenment.

Not bad. Very cool. It has to be ironed. It's a bit see-through dry. If it gets wet people will call the police on you. there is a green stripe down the sides.

Excellent

This is an excellent product for the money. It is almost impossible to find yoga pants for men below 10 dollars. These are it. Below 10 and wonderful for yoga. They do shrink though after you wash them

Nice feel and look good

by Sammy Carr from on 2010-06-27
Not much to say. These shorts in different colors look nice and feel nice. The only complaint I have is that the pockets are loose and turn inside out easily. Overall, a good value and a nice design-The basics!

Good shorts

by Jerry L. Mchenry from CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA United States on 2010-04-06
Very lightweight for the warmer weather. I like loose fitting clothing. This fit the bill.

Comfy!

by Daniel Cardenas from Chandler, AZ United States on 2009-07-31
Comfortable, they work, love the pockets. Too long for my tastes but most people probably like it this way. I cut off the champion label for a more classy look. I ordered 4 of them.

Not bad, Not great

by R. Stone from Phoenix, AZ on 2009-02-14
The shorts fine good enough. They aren't made of the highest quality materials, hence the price. My only real complaint is that the back label is scratchy and not easy to remove. Otherwise, functional running shorts.

great shorts

by J. Schaffer from San Diego, ca United States on 2008-04-19
The reason i gave 3 stars is due to the fact that the wrong color was shipped, ordered blue, got grey. Were still comfortable and had no other complaints. Dont have much time to self so sending back and waiting for right color was not an option.

great shorts

Very lightweight, comfortable, have pockets, dry quickly. Great for exercising and the gym, or just lounging around the house. Will be getting more.

great gym shorts

by Steven J. Sorensen from on 2010-06-19
These shorts are cool and comfortable. Very good deal for the money. They keep you nice and dry during sweaty workouts. Some reviewers mentioned that they are somewhat see through. Well when you hold them up to the light they are. But when you put them against your skin they are absolutely not see through, because you need a good bit of light for that to occur. If you have something glowing in your naughty bits region then they'll probably be see through, and you should get to the ER pronto. I have been wearing these in the gym for over a month and no one has cited me for indecent exposure. I wear nothing underneath but a jockstrap (a white one) and I cannot see it through these shorts at all. So don't base your decision to buy these on their sheerness level which is only a conditional occurence.

Comfortable but too baggy

by Adam M. Botsford from Tacoma, WA on 2010-03-27
These are very comfortable and a good length but too loose for my taste. I bought them with the intent to jog in them but they'll be converted to casual shorts instead.

Not really worth the money

by Kenneth W. Norling from Buford GA on 2010-03-25
Bought two of these for the summer as I work out and swim a lot. Decent quality but they are the low end of the Champion line. Like another reviewer mentioned they almost sheer when held up to the light. There is no inner liner and the material is thin. I also don't like that the draw string is made into a loop instead of two formed ends like the ends of a shoe string. I had to cut mine and I'm sure they will fray.

Due to the thinness of the material I'm not sure I want to swim in these? Better deals out there for sure. Walmart sells Starter gear for 10-12 dollars. Much better stuff.

Good short for working out or play

by Carl Reed from on 2010-02-04
These are good shorts if you want a basic pair to work out or just play around. The sizing feels a little big in certain areas. Not necessarily the waist, but the leg openings. I was afraid to exchange for a smaller size because I felt the waist wouldn't be right. I can deal with it, but it's just something to be aware of when buying. One thing I noticed about these shorts that I couldn't really tell on Amazon or Champion's website is the fact that they are somewhat see-through. Might be more noticeable if white or light colored underwear was worn underneath. Something I might do, is get a pair of Underarmour or similar compression type pants to wear underneath while exercising. Seems like I've noticed guys doing that on Fit For Duty. It might look and feel better while doing something like leg presses where the legs are going to be coming up.

Runs very small

by M. DeMeo from Bloomingdale, NJ United States on 2010-02-28
I purchased these shorts (mens small) for my 15 year old son and they did not fit. They run small - they were more like a youth large. He likes to wear his shorts long and these were above his knee.

Description

The Harbinger® Pro Fitness Glove is specially designed for all-purpose training and frequent lifting. It's constructed from machine washable leather and mesh for easy care, with an adjustable wrist closure for a custom fit. The stretch "Ventilator Mesh" allows your hand and fingers to bend naturally while keeping them cool, and the short finger length reduces unwanted bulk.

Specially designed for men, this pair of Harbinger Pro gloves is ideal for all-purpose training and frequent weightlifting. The gloves are distinguished by their stretch "ventilator mesh" construction, which lets the hand and fingers bend naturally while staying cool, along with the abrasion-resistant leather on the palm, which maximizes glove wear. The gloves stay secure and snug, meanwhile, thanks to the adjustable wrist closures. And lifters will love the short finger length, which reduces unwanted bulk. Perhaps the best feature, however, is the easy-to-clean fabric, which is 100-percent machine washable and dryable. Also outfitted with wrap-around thumb cushions, the gloves are available in natural and black colors.

Features

• Features an adjustable writ closure for a snug but comfortable fit
• Stretch "Ventilator Mesh" allows hand and fingers to bend naturally while keeping them cool
• Abrasion resistant leather on the palm maximizes glove wear
• Short finger length reduces unwanted bulk
• Wrap-around thumb protection cushions and covers the inside of the thumb with a second layer of leather to protect against abrasion.

Pretty good. I'd recommend them.

by James Garthwaite III from Shelton, CT United States on 2010-08-30
I use these whenever working out with my free weights. They definitely save your hands from blisters and a lot of other wear and tear. I'd recommend them.

Well built glove, way too small

by Pen name from on 2010-08-15
I have been using these gloves for a month and have been hoping they would stretch out some. They have stretched out some over time but not enough. I read the reviews before I purchased them and saw all of the comments about how small the gloves are so I ordered a XXL size even though I am typically and XL. Upsizing the gloves 1 size was not enough for me because these gloves and too are still too small. They are very well built and should be very durable, the sizing just stinks. If you are considering buying these gloves you should upsize them 1 - 2 sizes.

Disappointing

by FroggyM from Washington, DC on 2010-08-13
This was my first attempt at lifting gloves, so I don't have a lot to compare it to. But these gloves are a disappointment. They're both too loose and too tight. My hands are about medium length for a guy, but they're kind of petite and small with regard to width of palm and digits. I bought these gloves in extra-large. They're too small in that they kinda pinch the webbed skin in between each finger. They're kind of painful. And they're too big overall, lots of extra fabric, all over. They're just too big for me. I don't believe there is any size of this Harbinger glove that would fit my hand.

On the positive side, the Harbinger gloves have a (somewhat) grippy material on the palm that will help you get a better grip on the weights. This is good, because it feels kind of scary holding weights when I can't feel them like I used to. I hate losing the sense of touch that comes from wearing no gloves. But the calluses are getting to be a problem.

The biggest problem with these gloves, though, is their basic design. When you bend your hand to hold a bar, you have all this extra fabric that bunches up at the intersection between your palm and fingers. The solution, of course, is to find a glove that comes pre-bent, so that you can't easily flatten your hand, but when you bend your hand and fingers around the bar, there isn't any extra fabric to bunch up.

Today a bought a new pair of gloves at my gym. They are "Valeo Ocelot Lifting Glove" size medium. These are really comfortable and actually fit my hand. The inside of the glove feels great. One problem is that the palm side of the glove has no grippy material, so it's hard to get a great grip on the bar. That makes me really nervous, because losing your grip on the bar could be disastrous. And these Valeo gloves have the same problem as the Harbinger gloves - when you bend your hand around the bar, all this extra fabric bunches up at the intersection between your palm and fingers. This really messes up my ability to get a good grip on the bar.

So, the Valeo gloves are a much better fit than the Harbinger gloves. But neither is great. I need to find a "pre-bent" glove with a great grippy material, and less fabric overall to bunch up. If you know of one, please comment. Thanks.

These are great gloves but the run small

by Katherine Runyon from Livermore California on 2010-08-10
I got these for weightlifting, they are great. I measured before I ordered, and ordered the size recommended by the measurement. They were ok to put on and take off once per session. But then I had an accident and ended up in a wheelchair and they were way to tight to put on and off several times a day. I ordered up a size and prefer them. When you wash them they get smaller so really you should order up a size unless you are lifting huge amounts and want no movement and are ok if you need a minute to get them off.

Once you find your proper size the gloves are fabulous, they really have held up under daily use. Good quality stitching, good quality materials, they are great gloves. And the price is amazing. You will be happy.

Great value for the money!

by Aj from on 2010-08-04
Yes there may be gym gloves that you can get for a couple dollars less, but the quality suffers by a lot.

Everlast has redeveloped the professional training glove. Dense two-layer sandwich foam for shock absorbency. Full padding on the front and back of wrist to promote proper punching technique. Conforms to the natural shape of the fist for comfortable training.

If you want to fight like a pro, you have to train like a pro. Enter the Everlast Pro Style training gloves, which help you train properly every time you step up to the bag. Made of synthetic leather, the Pro Style gloves are built to promote proper punching technique, with full padding on the front and back of the wrist that conforms to the natural shape of your fist. As a result, the gloves not only teach your hands how to punch correctly, but they also prevent injury. This dense two-layer foam sandwich also protects your wrists, as does the exclusive ThumbLok feature, which keeps your thumb and fist positioned correctly. Perhaps best of all, the gloves are designed using EverFresh materials, which guard against ever-present odors and microbes. Available in 12-, 14, and 16-ounce sizes, the gloves offer the choice of a traditional lace-up design or a hook-and-loop Velcro strap for quick on and off. About Everlast Although the name Everlast is synonymous with boxing, the company actually started out as a swimwear manufacturer in the Bronx in 1910. The son of a tailor and an avid swimmer, 17-year-old Jacob Golomb grew dissatisfied with the flimsy swimsuits of the time, which barely lasted a season. In response, he began making suits that he guaranteed would last for a full year. He proudly gave them the name "Everlast," and although the swimsuits did not last throughout history, the name did. In subsequent years, Golomb transformed his company into a small retail store that carried a full line of sports equipment. In 1917, a young fighter named Jack Dempsey introduced boxing to Golomb and Everlast. Dempsey asked Golomb to construct protective headgear that would last more that 15 rounds of intensive boxing training. In 1919, Dempsey won the world heavyweight championship wearing boxing gloves made for him by Golomb, and shortly afterward, Everlast became the boxing equipment headquarters throughout the world. Dedicated to leveraging the unique qualities represented by the Everlast brand--strength, dedication, individuality, and authenticity--the Everlast brand is now present in more than 101 countries and has 88 licenses worldwide.

• Pair of professional-style boxing training gloves made of synthetic leather
• Full padding on the front and back of the wrist promotes proper technique
• ThumbLok feature keeps thumb and fist positioned correctly to prevent injury

Great work out gloves for the price

by Jonathon Corbett from NJ, USA on 2010-08-22
These gloves are comfiortable and quick dry, great for daily workouts.

Note the thumb is attached to teh fingers so picking up a water bottle to drink from during a workout is difficult.

Basic. Good Price

by S. Cea from Los Angeles on 2010-08-13
These are easy gloves. Used them the first day I got them to spar a bit. Comfy, nothing too over the top. simple. Great price. does what it needs to do!

Misleading Product Photos

by Henry Lyne from on 2010-07-30
I bought these gloves from MMA One Stop Shop and received a pair of gloves that did not match the photos above. There was no mesh ventilation. I already own these style gloves without the mesh and it is difficult to keep them from getting stinky, even when I clean them right after use with lysol.

Nice for light sparring but dont hit the bag or your opponent too hard with any gloves like these

by Tyrone Yates from on 2010-07-17
We do a lot of sparring at the gym. Everlast is ususally a good bet. I have only heard of everlast boxing gloves falling apart too early maybe twice over the last 14 years. These are good gloves for sparing, etc. I still keep a pair in my bag but I made the switch to a higher priced glove a while back and haven't pulled these out of the bag since. I've gone through a few pairs of these gloves over the years and they are well worth the money. Once you go to a higher quality brand you probably won't go back to these, but they get the job done for a good price. I wouldn't recommend them for just hitting the bag because they're a bit hard and you risk damaging your wrist.

Decent Training Gloves

by Aznbrybry from on 2010-07-16
The Everlast Pro Style Training Gloves are a decent pair of gloves to train on the heavy bags with. They are ok for sparring but I would prefer something with a little more padding. The only slight issue that I have with the gloves is that they are a tight fit with wraps on. I use the Evergel 120" speed wraps and it is a little hard to get the gloves on. I don't have big hands I have average sized hands. So if you have big hands I would try looking for a different pair. Overall, it is a good pair of gloves for hitting the heavy bag. I would just suggest to getting a thicker pair of gloves if you want to spar.

good value for money gloves

by Stuart Rutledge from on 2010-05-04
Good value gloves that are strong and durable. The only reason i give them 4/5 is because the fingers are cut off a little too short so you still get some sore pads on the joint of your fingers.

by kennymo from Mount Kisco, NY on 2008-02-13
nice glove, hope it will be durable. Maybe a little too thick padding in the palm - bar feel is a little soft.

Good Quality

I bought these gloves for my husband, who goes to the gym five days a week. They are holding up well, and the palm area is better padded than other gloves.

A little more $$ gets you a lot more glove

by F. Rigdon from Ellijay, Georgia. USA on 2007-01-10
I bought these gloves after buying and using two different pairs of gloves from a "discount" store that did not hold up to 3 days a week workouts. I carefully researched weight lifting gloves before I made this purchase and boy am I glad. These gloves are awesome. The padding in these gloves is about double what was in my "discount" gloves and the seams are not tearing like my other gloves did. To say that the Harbinger glove is a step above the "discount" gloves is an understatement! I recommend to anyone who wants to purchase a good weight lifting glove at an affordable price to buy these gloves.

Great way to start your day

by Ayca Akal-strader from Bethesda, MD on 2010-03-21
I had a bike accident a while ago that left my shoulder in pain for a long time. Due to problems in my shoulder, I started having tenseness in my neck and upper back. Having not been back to regular workout/biking yet, I have also fallen out of shape. A friend of mine recommended me to try Rodney Yee's Yoga for Beginners to help relax better. She recommended that I could move up to other DVD's as I excelled on this one. As a result, I bought a bunch of DVD's with Rodney Yee as the Yoga instructor. I know I was taking a risk, what if I did not like his DVD's? But, I trusted this individual's recommendations and here I am.

I started off with Abs Yoga for Beginners DVD. I wanted to start off with Yoga for Beginners, but Amazon.com did not have that one available. I haven't tried the other DVD's yet, but if it is anything like this one, I am sure I will like them too. The Abs Yoga for Beginners is absolutely a great way to get your day started. Having done no yoga myself, I did not know what to expect. Rodney Yee is really a great instructor of what to do and how much to do for those who are not as good in shape as he is. As always, you should consult your doctor before you embark on any exercise activity.

Rodney Yee gives succinct directions as he demonstrates yoga. He refrains from excessive talking which helps a lot - especially if you're going to do it everyday like I am trying to do. The music is great and very relaxing, the narration just right. I still have trouble staying in tune with breathing part, when to inhale and when to exhale. But, don't worry, it is all in there, you just need to train your body and mind for the right time and length to breathe in and out. Don't be fooled though, Rodney Yee is in greatest shape and he makes things look very easy. I would recommend anyone doing any kind of activity to always warm up for it at least for 2 minutes; this DVD is no exception to warm up. Stretching and bending over still require warm muscles. And never force yourself too hard. Do as best as your can, and gradually improve yourself when you can.

With Abs Yoga for Beginners, you will get a nice stretch, a good posture and a pretty good abs workout, all in 15 minutes. In a nutshell, I would recommend this product to anyone out there who is willing to give yoga a shot!

Excellent if modified...

by Steven A. Mcknight from on 2010-01-04
I should start this by saying that I have been doing yoga for about a year and working out hard for the same time. I was looking for a difficult, new way to attack my abs, just to mix it up from all the different crunches and weighted ab moves I normally do.

My first time through this dvd, I was bummed. It was not really yoga, but also, very very easy. Anyone could start here. The more I thought about it though, the more I modified it to work for me. For example, one move that you keep returning to is called "staff pose". This pose, you sit with your legs straight in front of you and pressed together. I started keeping my legs slightly off the ground and never letting them touch from the beginning to the end. This is much more difficult.

If you understand how to push yourself harder than further than you ever thought you could go - I recommend this dvd.

Rodyne Yee ABS Yoga Abs for Beginners

by tinkerbell from st louis mo usa on 2009-11-24
Think it is mostly stretching and not getting much of a workout to tighten abs.

Great for Beginners

by Staying Young from New Jersey on 2009-09-14
I bought this DVD because my abs needed toning, and I needed something that wouldn't be too strenuos yet would still be a beneficial workout. I am over 60 and not terribly flexible. Other abs workouts that I've tried were too difficult for me. Rodney Yee is so explicit in his instruction, and his voice is so soothing that I can do these exercises with my eyes closed. At the end of the DVD I feel both productive in helping to tone my abs and relaxed at the same time. Plus, I notice that my flexiblity is increasing. I have to modify some of the poses to suit my physical limitations, but I still notice an improvement in the way I feel and the way my clothes fit.
I enjoy this DVD so much that I bought another Rodney Yee DVD and plan to buy more, just for variety.

AN AB WORKOUT WITHOUT CRUNCHES

by J Bug from British Columbia, Canada on 2009-08-10
This workout although only 26 minutes long has basic yet progressively harder exercises and I definitely felt it working my abs by the end. Beginners shouldn't have any problems with this flowing sequence of poses and as usual Rodney's voice instruction is flawless. I think what I liked the most about ABS YOGA is that this is an Abdominal workout without crunches and I appreciated learning some different moves to help combat the muffin top.

Filmed in Death Valley National Park, the backdrop here is a beautiful desert setting. And although I recognized the ambient music from several other Yee DVD's, its pleasant enough and doesn't distract.

Beginning in a seated position the first part of this workout concentrates on breathing exercises then moves onto your hands and knees for Cat Pose and finally to your back where most of the workout is performed. With repetitions of knees to chest, head to knees and slowly lowering and raising your legs, you begin to feel the burn. Then Rodney leads us through side twists and several Half and Full Boat Poses which get progressively more difficult as does the burn. Towards the end we stand for Mountain Pose and Foreword Bend before sitting again into Staff and Cobblers Pose. The relaxation segment is short but well done and you'll come away feeling tighter and relaxed.

I believe this might be a good introduction to yoga for first timers, giving you a taste of the breathing and energy without overwhelming you with too many traditional yoga poses. And for those who do a regular yoga practice this is a great workout that you will definitely feel in your abs the next day. Namaste.

Feel the burn

by J-jet from Orlando, FL USA on 2010-08-25
Great workout, use this one when I have a little more time. About a half hour of six pack making exercises.

All of Ana's Videos are Great

by Ray Sola from Tucson, AZ USA on 2010-05-06
I also have the Pilates Beginning Mat Workout, Intermediate Mat Workout. This video could be called Advanced Mat Workout, and I would recommend it to anyone who has done the others.

I like all of them because she really explains what you are doing and takes you thru the process. There is no loud music or scantly clad people jumping around. She gives clear directions even when you are upside down and can't see the screen. This is a really good workout with clear instructions.

Short, hard workout- stick with it!

by B. L. Nunn from Seattle on 2009-12-10
I am an avid bike racer- and hate to do videos. That said, this one is awesome. Short, to the point and well rounded.
Used this video 3x per week after having a child and it did great things for my abs. Highly recommended.

Good, but kind of boring, for me anyway...

by M. Obadiah from Williston Park, NY United States on 2009-11-29
My title says it all. Ana knows her moves and teaches well, but personally, I find her style not particularly inspiring. But that's just me. Still, it's a good DVD to get results and you can always play your own music in the background if you want and still see proper form and good pilates positions. Oh! and she's not annoying, that's a very big deal with exercise DVD's!

just an okay workout

by A. Tate from germany on 2009-05-10
This pilates abs video is not really worth getting if you already have a regular pilates workout dvd, it's about all the same exercises as a regular pilates dvd.

Great for Beginners

by DW from on 2010-08-05
This DVD is great for beginners. The instructor performs exercises that a person who's just starting out can actually do. Also, since you exercise each body part for 10 minutes, that's also great for beginners.

Husband's home workout

by Jason from on 2010-06-22
I'm pretty out of shape after years of graduate school and no exercise. My wife bought this video recently, so I thought I'd try out our inexpensive investment before forking over big $$$ to a gym. It's great!!! I get a fantastic full-body workout with this DVD... The instructor gives you variations on the exercises in case you need to increase the level of difficulty (the exercises are hard enough for me without the variations). Verbal prompts about using correct posture and body positioning are also helpful. The power stretch segment is excellent--I've been involved in competitive sports/track & field for years but I still learned some new flexibility techniques here! This DVD is budget friendly... all you need to get going are hand weights (I picked up a 40 lb. adjustable dumbbell set). After starting with a single workout per day, to get my body used to exercising again, I now do all 5 workouts in a single session, 3 days per week. On my off days I take an exercise walk/hike on the treadmill. Getting stronger, more coordinated, and more flexible each time (and losing extra body fat)...very satisfied!!!

Great beginner workout

by S. Dixon from Gainesville, FL on 2010-05-25
Great DVD, the only complaint is her ending every sentence on an up-swing. Basic moves but effective moves. Ona side note, what the heck is up with her abs? She built them out and thick, not feminine looking at all

Perfect for beginners

by stargirl from on 2010-04-21
For someone who is just starting to exercise or doesn't have a lot of stamina yet, this is the perfect place to start. The exercises are easy but effective. And 10 mins is the perfect amount of time for someone who hates exercising, like me! Since the videos are short, it is easy to commit to and do more than one throughout the day. I love the arm and thigh exercises because those are my trouble areas. I like to do a video before work in the morning to get my blood flowing and heart rate up for the day. And it is totally doable. I've noticed results in just 2 weeks and plan to work my way up to other videos in this series. Highly recommended, from a non-exerciser.

Just what I was looking for

by A. Argyle from on 2010-03-04
I have enjoyed this video. 10 minutes is about the time frame I have with everything else going on. I feel like it pushes me just enough so that I can feel good about doing something for my body. I would recommend to a person who wants to get some exercise without having to go majorly out of their way to do it.

Description

This multilevel class is safe for and accessible to beginners, and just right for intermediates. Three of Fonda's able and motivating instructors teach the 45-minute step class. Half the room does lower-intensity moves; the other uses higher steps and higher-intensity techniques. The teaching technique is excellent: a pattern is taught on the floor before taking it up on the step. One participant does the routines totally without the step to guide beginners or others who don't feel comfortable using the step. The patterns never get very complex, but they are varied enough to keep you interested and energized, and you can adjust your step height to make the workout harder if you wish. The instructors cue seamlessly. Fonda herself teaches the 10-minute abdominal segment, with enough variations of the standard crunch to keep your abs contracting and your mind engaged. --Joan Price

Still LoVe it after all these Years!

by Madelyn from The Buckeye State on 2010-05-11
I still have a couple of Jane's Step Videos on VHS. Always loved and enjoyed this routine and alternated it with Cher's New Attitude Fitness for many years. It's absolutely timeless and I hope that it makes it to DVD at some point. I see that a couple of Jane's exercise videos are already on DVD so I think it's very possible that this will be as well. I don't use the old VHS tapes often but just every once in a while I will dig it out and put it in the VHS/DVD combo unit. It will get you in shape quickly and it's well cued by the instructors. I have lots of newer exercise DVD's by some of the young & younger instructors. I have several by Cathy Friech; she's highly energetic & I find her step routines are definitely high-impact and very hard on my knees. Yes, she's very good and extremely popular but I can't keep up even if I simplify her moves & that's A-OK with me. I don't want to hurt and have aching knees for a week & I'm not into the fancy dancy routines. I prefer a no non-sense video that's effective and FUN. With Jane's instructors, there are no fancy one-legged mambos or pirouettes or flying across the room movements and that suits me and my needs. I prefer tried, true and less complicated. If something works and it's fun...well....I'm all for it! So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this goes to DVD; I will be first to buy it.

Amazing and Awesome!

by Malorie Sponseller from STATESBORO, GA, US on 2010-04-20
This is the video that got me into step aerobics! It was my mom's and I began using it when I was in middle school. The steps aren't horribly difficult but certainly work and the ab workout is AMAZING! It may be a flashback to an earlier time, but this is the BEST step aerobics video I have yet to see. 5 stars all the way!

Jane Fonda's Step Aerobic and Abdominal Workout

by Lucy from FL on 2009-11-24
I've been doing this workout for many years and it is still one of my favorites. I only wish it was on DVD.

A classic!

by Patty from Brodhead, WI on 2009-09-23
I started this routine shortly after it came out. I still use it today. I know most of the words by heart and can use the routine with my mp3 player - no video.
I like the variety in the class, the change of the music, and the change of instuctors. I have to admit, when I'm pressed for time, I skip the warm up and cool down, and only sometimes do the ab part, but the aerobic part of this video is very productive without making anyone turn and twist when tired which is so dangerous!
This is my favorite of every workout I have ever tried.

Roller Girl

by Paulette Benoit from Lafayette, LA on 2010-04-23
I used to use the AB Roller Plus years ago and life got in the way so it got tossed aside then eventually thrown away. Found it again on line "Thank God" - because it is the perfect work out tool. I have neck and lower back problems so any kind of excersizing besides walking is very difficult, plus it helps me stretch. This is the perfect workout for the med section - it allows you to get a good workout without using your neck. And don't let the 15 minutes fool ya - you feel it and it works. Thanks Ab Roller!

hard to find replacement

by T. Dugan from on 2010-01-18
I was looking for this certain video and finally found it. Amazon is great. The video was as promised and fast to ship and receive. Thanks!

AB Roller Plus

by J. Hollars from on 2008-12-01
Highly recommended for those with neck and or back problems. I work w/a trainer that encorporates ab workouts with the AB Roller. The video was a replacement for another one I had. More effective if inhalation and exhalation w/tightening abs are the focus w/the routine. If low back problems do not do the exercise on the cover. Use exercise ball, by balancing lower legs on it and doing the motion w/the ball.

Backup from my ab roller

by Bradley J. Hobbs from Auburn, WA on 2007-08-15
This is worth having. I bought mine as a backup to the original VHS cassette I had when I bought the ab roller unit several years ago. Too bad they don't put these things out on DVD. Go figure.

A must have classic

by Elena Lavictoire from on 2010-01-02
I first purchased this tape after my second baby was born and I was having a problem getting back into shape even with regular Jazzercise workouts. That baby is driving now!! and I still pull this tape out of the box when I want to work hard, sweat and still feel like a dancer.

All these years later, I still think the choreography in this workout is outstanding. It is creative and fun and I get a great lower body workout and burn. 16 years ago when I did this tape I challenged myself to keep up with the high impact, "hard core" exercisers on the left side of the screen. Now that I am a bit older and recovering from some health issues I appreciate the low impact folks on the right side! And Kari of course gives clear instructions for both. I look forward to building up my fitness level to (almost) what it was when I got the tape.

It's the best!

by BAGS from USA on 2008-05-13
This video came out in 1994, I didn't buy it till 2007. I think it's the BEST step video, and probably the best of all aerobic workouts, that I own. It really stands the test of time, as you can tell from people leaving postive reviews for this video for several years now. I'm high-intermediate to advanced but when it comes to step, I don't like to learn complex choreogrpahy because that just wastes precious workout time. This one was easy to learn, it's fun and enjoyable, yet still challanges me, because Kari demonstrates different advanced options during every combo. Just choose all the advanced moves if you need more challange. Choose all the easier moves if you are still learning or need to take it easy. Kari is my favorite instructor, definitely my favorite step instructor. She's so much fun! I wish this would come out on DVD! Kari's Go! is perfect for learning basic moves, then follow it up with this one and prepare to have FUN!

Fun step workout for all fitness levels....

by Teedums from White Bear Lake, MN on 2005-04-11
This is the only video I have by Kari Anderson, who is known for complex choreography which is not my cup of tea. This is a great video for those like me who like simple choreography, this workout is a lot of fun. Kari is an excellent instructor and I am glad that she made this video. She is very graceful and a joy to watch, her cuing is right on too.

Kari is joined by 10 others, one side of the room with more advanced level exercisers, the other side with less advanced though there are a variety of step heights being used. She starts off with a warmup then you move into a simple but fun step routine. The choreography and her cuing makes it easy to catch on right away. You will see basic steps, knee lifts, repeaters, hamstring curls, turn steps, V steps, rear leg lifts, straddles, and over the tops etc. Kari gives you a lot of options to up the intensity if you choose to do so. There is also a heartrate check to measure how hard you are working.

After the step work you will cool down for a short abs and back routine, then move into the final stretch. There is also a motivational, pep talk segment by Kari for those who might need a little extra motivation some days.

This is an excellent video, and a good one for those who want to try Kari's videos but stay away from complex routines. Highly recommended.

Seems easy but makes me sweat like crazy

by ComparisonShopper from Tampa, FL on 2004-07-29
This is a beginning-mid? step video. Moves are easy to learn. At first, I wasn't used to Kari Anderson's style so I was a little put off by the ugly outfits and the cheesy music, but after doing the step video a number of times, I realized how well planned the video is. It's a great exercise for all your problem areas.

Ab section is a killer. But wonderfully painful

A worthwhile purchase

by from on 2003-10-19
Having just gotten back into aerobics after a long break, I found this video to be just what I needed. I liked the choices it gives you to work at your own level. I also appreciated the camera work, which mercifully stays still and lets you focus where you need to. And finally, Kari is an excellent instructor who neither bores nor condescends. The steps are not too complicated and the interest level remains high. Highly recommended.

Rating the Bean

by G. Johnson from Yosemite Ca on 2009-07-01
I've read some reviews of this item and think it deserves a positive rating. If you use it to do "sit-ups" and a "seriuos" workout you're missing the point. I bought it because of back problems and the inablility to do a "sious" workout. I found that using it more like a rocking chair than an ab bench works best.

awesome little workout journal

by chri from on 2010-07-30
perfect little journal for keeping record at the gym or other workouts you do. Also, keeps log of daily diet. Great little book

A suggestion for the publisher

by Suz from Littleton, CO on 2010-07-25
I'm on my second BodyMinder Workout Journal so obviously it meets my needs (although I do not need all the dietary pages). One suggestion is to include a place to store a pen. I'd be willing to pay more just for a little pen holder on the cover.

The only negative is the awful price sticker on the back. It's impossible to get off, and if you try alcohol the color comes off. Please - do you really need a sticker on an item from Amazon??

keep on track

by H. Jukes from on 2010-06-28
One of the best ways to make things happen in your life, whether they be goals or making sure you get home with all the groceries you need, is to write everything down. This journal makes it easy to do that. Everything you need to keep track of is here in an organized way. Makes sure I don't cheat/skip anything. I am in much better shape thanks to this journal!

The Workout Log This book is designed to help you keep track of your workouts so that you can make every workout count towards your goal! By keeping track of your progress, you can tell right away what works and what doesn't. The front cover is laminated with a unique Yin and Yang workout design of two people working out within a gear-shift wheel. The author, who is also a professional computer designer, designed the cover. The inside cover has a conversion chart from kilograms to pounds. The first page explains in a user-friendly manner of how to use the book. The 2nd and 3rd pages are designed to annotate your present body measurements, height, weight and your max on squats and benchpress. The actual "log" portion of the book is designed in an easy-to-use format. The user can track how many reps and sets he did with a particular weight. It even has a section that asks, "How the workout went" and the user can circle BAD OK GOOD VERY GOOD EXCELLENT (or even) #@! For those really bad days in the gym. This book has been in circulation since 1994. It has sold extremely well in the gyms across Canada, but it's time now to get the book on the net and to a larger market.

Great

by S. B. Mccarter from Florida on 2010-05-28
Everything I need to track my workouts precisely.
When I bought this product I also bought "BodyMinder Workout and Exercise Journal (A Fitness Diary) to see which one I'd like more as I couldn't get a feel for it by browsing the products' description.

"The Workout Log" is my favorite. There are more pages devoted to workouts them selves rather than tracking what has been eaten. I see the value in tracking my diet, when it comes down to numbers "The Workout Log" has many more pages for individual "days" of workouts.

If what you want is a log to track both your Cardio and Strength training then this is the log for you

Love It!

by Stephanie M. Pratt from on 2010-03-17
I am starting to concentrate on strength training and this book is great! I love how easy it is to track and there are no advertisements - just simple. It gives an example of how to log and use the book in the front. In the back it has a male with muscle groups shown in an image - it'd be nice to see a female one also.

But, no frills - this book has what you need - blank pages to log.

Outstanding

by M. Bustamante from on 2010-01-31
Very easy to use. It has a great layout and doesn't waste a lot of pages with useless front matter. The laminated front and back plus the spiral bound pages make this log very durable. Highly recommended!

Do you want to run a 5K this year or finish a triathlon next spring? Or are you starting your first fitness program because the doctor said you have to lose weight? Do you drink enough water, or overdo it on the carbo-loading? The Ultimate Fitness Log can assist you in tracking your fitness progress, whether you're concerned about nutrition, cardiovascular fitness, strength training, weight loss, or all four. Suzanne Schlosberg, coauthor of Weight Training for Dummies and Fitness for Dummies, says while she scoffed at keeping a personal diary in high-school English class, she finds fitness diaries extremely helpful for monitoring her training for the Northern California Death Ride bike race. Schlosberg starts with minichapters on how to use the log (including how to rate the intensity of your workouts), hints for finding your way among the health-club equipment, how to prevent workout-related injuries, and answers to frequently asked questions about cardio and strength-training exercises (like how to calculate your target heart rate--and how to use it). Then come six months worth of diary, with space for tracking time and distance for cardio; weight, sets, and reps for strength training; and space for nutrition notes. By monitoring your progress from day to day and month to month, you can more easily reach your goals. Inspirational quotes, fitness definitions (do you know what a "whipper" is to a rock climber?), and fitness tips are interspersed throughout the days to help keep you motivated. --Erica Jorgensen

Whether you’re training for a triathlon, aiming to set a personal bench-press record, or simply trying to firm up and slim down, The Ultimate Workout Log is the book you need. Your own personal trainer in a paperback, it will help you to set concrete goals, devise strategies to reach them, and monitor your progress. Ever-popular, motivational, and endlessly useful, the third edition now includes yoga, Pilates, and mind-body exercise plus increased space to record six months’ worth of training routines and goals.

This book has plenty of space to write in your daily workouts, plus I love the interesting nutrition and exercise facts spread throughout the log. I've been logging my workouts for about 3 years and continue to buy this product.

Works if you look outside the lines/boxes

by cleanqueen from virginia on 2010-06-27
I just bought my third one today. Love it! No diet log includes enough room for my calorie counting or interval training, but this one comes the closest. I just use the extra weight training lines for my calories and interval training. Just like with a workout, you'll get out of your exercise/diet log what you put into it.

Cramped Format May be Acceptable for the Beginner, but Not the Established Athlete.

by Doctor Keys from Louisiana USA on 2010-01-27
I say "ditto" to "Steven" from Colorado, USA. I could write a verbose review, but just refer to Steven's. IMO, all anyone needs is a multi-subject, spiral-bound notebook. You can record whatever you want, however you want. You can easily format the pages with a pen and and a straightedge. Its the K.I.S.S. principle at its purest.

Great content! User un-friendly format...

by Traksheff from on 2009-10-08
The book itself is great. The pages could be a little stronger. It's easy for them to become worn and tear away from the spiral binding after doing a set of bicep curls, for example, marking down your work, and tossing the book down to the gym floor to move back to the weights. I don't really want to focus on not tearing my book in the gym.

The content is great. A little on the feminine side, but I can't complain.

The format is rigid and restricting. The weeks start with Monday and end with Sunday and the page after that is the weekly wrap-up. That wold be great if that was how I worked out. I start on Sunday and have a six day rotation. I don't think it should have days listed. Or maybe a spot where you could just write them in yourself.

Overall, this is a great book, but it isn't a perfect fit for how I work out.

It does what I want it to

by Music fan from California United States on 2008-08-24
I have only been using this application for about 2 weeks now. It really does exactly what I want it to and that is track caloric intake and monitor weight. There are many other things it can do such as tracking workouts (which I don't do), track body measurement (weight, BMI, Body Fat%, etc), medical data (including hours sleep).

I can't really complain about a program that offers too much and it is my fault (for lack of a better word) that I don't use all the other functionalities. So, why take off the 1 star? Well, even for the few functions I use, it does not seem all that easy to enter in data even though there is an Input Wizard. This supposedly remembers what you enter in if you save a custom food (something I do often). While it does remember the stats (calories, fat, carbs, etc), it does not enter in the food name?? So basically, I have to enter in the name twice - once in the Input Wizard and once in the Journal itself. Perhaps this is something that could be resolved with a call to the company but it is not that big a deal to me. It is a good program and easily 4 stars. If you can't take the time to enter in data, then perhaps software is not the answer and you should seek out a paper journal.

As a side note, I wrote the seller asking when my package would arrive (it was NOT late) and I got a prompt and friendly reply.

Totally disatisfied

by Gerald D. Jackson from on 2008-03-27
I totally hated this program. It is way to complicated for me. I found it much more difficult to operate than I wanted to spend the time on. I found the data base to be ridicules. I was just totally dissatisfied with it.

Outstanding!

by Michael D. Wade Sr. from Columbus, OH USA on 2008-01-20
Weightmania Pro. Fitness, Nutrition and Diet Software (Windows Version)

Outstanding product. Feature rich. I was looking for something to track both calorie intake and workouts. This product does it all plus. Download the demo to get a taste. Records food intake, workouts, medical data like blood pressure and sleep hours. Allows one to track progress. Exactly what I was looking for.

Video is GREAT, bands STINK!

by Chicago Runner from on 2005-03-10
I absolutely love this video. The exercises really work your muscles, and the added squats/lunges really make a difference. I have been working out with weights for years, and have seen better results with these, and less irritation to my joints (particularly my wrists). The music and instruction are non-obtrusive and so is the instruction, so you won't get irritated, which is nice. However, the bands themselves STINK! The bands can be interchanged with handles, but they slip out of the handles CONSTANTLY. I actually had one snap out and crack me pretty hard on my back, leaving a huge red welt. Also, the bands cannot be interchanged quickly, so you have to stop your workout to do that and it brings your workout to a complete stop. I therefore purchased new bands that are easier to work with and interchange faster (from Amazon, called "Exercise bands super system by Bodylastics - Basic tension"), and it comes with it's own video which is okay...I think this video is better for a quick but thorough workout (it lasts about 20-25 minutes).

Gaiam isn't total body conditioning bar

by J. Kennedy from Sayville, NY on 2009-11-22
This would've been better had the DVD worked but it kept freezing and I checked, it wasn't my DVD player. I couldn't get a replacement as letters to the company go unanswered, so it was both disappointing and frustrating as I had to make up my own exercises and routines.

Beginners Workout ONLY

by N. Miller from on 2009-08-24
This workout was way too easy, and too short. I would only recommend this DVD to beginners, not anyone who is intermediate or advanced. I really enjoy some of the other Gaiam DVDs, but this one I will probably take back.

Sculpting Bar is Okay, but included DVD is useless

by L. Carpenter from USA on 2009-07-29
I've purchased and returned this kit twice due to defective DVDs. Apparently this is an ongoing problem with this particular Gaiam item. While the DVD is garbage, the sculpting bar is okay - the three 3-lb pieces lock together securely and the bar is comfortable to hold.

The only thing, I wish Gaiam did different with this product is making the DVD into sections rather all in one. I also wish the workout was longer on the bar.

Decent product except one thing

by Nichole from on 2010-08-30
This product was brand new and in original packaging. The only thing wrong with is was the earbuds. The one wire on the right side is alot longer than the left side. I thought about returning them but they work so im just keeping them.

Not what I expected.

by R. Macias from SoCal USA on 2010-04-19
Not what I expected. First of all, the case that holds the ipod tends to get stuck and it is hard to take out. The plastic cover clings to the screen and when you try to adjust it, it feels like you might break the screem.

Secondly, the erbud wire is very thin, you need to wrap the right earbud around the back of your neck which I don't like.

Again, this is not what I expected.

2 unique weights + 1 excellent instructor = 3 great workouts for intermediate & above Pilates practitioners

by Beth Cholette from Upstate NY USA on 2009-12-22
NOTE: I received a free copy of this workout kit to review for the web site Metapsychology Online Reviews.

Ana Cabán has been a mainstay of Pilates media for almost a decade now, but she is constantly adding new and varied challenges to her workouts. Here she includes 2-lb. hand weights fashioned into a unique "S" shape to increase the intensity of the program. The DVD offers three different 15-minute workouts, each of which incorporates the weights and yet are still based on the traditional exercises first introduced by Pilates founder, Joseph Pilates. Cabán works out alone in an outdoor setting; her purple mat is featured on a raised platform against a mountainous background. The music is generally pleasant and unobtrusive.

The Main Menu of the DVD offers options to select the Introduction, Mat Series, Equipment Series, or Standing Series. If you choose to start with the Mat Series as Cabán recommends, you can easily continue to complete the entire 54 minute workout, as there is only a brief pause between each section. In Mat Series (15 mins.), Cabán first uses the weights to move the arms from over the head to down towards her sides. Still holding the weights, Cabán does the Pilates Hundred move, keeping the weights still at her sides rather than pumping the arms as is customary. She continues with a classical Pilates matwork sequencing of movements, sometimes holding just one weight--for example, she performs Rolling Like a Ball holding one weight with both hands in front of the calves. All five exercises of the Series of Five are performed, using both weights for the first three exercises and just one weight for the last two. Cabán concludes the Mat Series in a seated position for the Spine Stretch forward (holding one weight behind the head) and the Spinal Twist (holding one weight straight out in front of the body).

The Equipment Series (19.5 mins.) is also performed entirely on the mat. Cabán begins with one weight in each hand for a move called Coordination and then continues on to the Rowing series, a sequence of several different classic Pilates exercises. Other exercises performed seated include Shaving the Head and Hugging a Tree. Still holding both weights, Cabán then moves to a prone (face-down) position for the Long Box series, which involves reaching the arms up and back as well as up and out to the sides. Next are several movements completed while on the back or seated, including a Back Stroke (again coordinating the movements of the arms and legs), a Teaser variation (holding the Teaser position while pumping the arms with the weights; repeat several times), and Short Box variations. After a brief side stretch, Cabán comes to a kneeling position, still using both weights for Chest Expansion, Thigh Stretch, Arm Circles, Bicep Curls, and Rolling In and Out. Cabán concludes this segment with the Mermaid, incorporating one weight at a time to increase the stretch.

The final segment is the Standing Series (19.5 mins.). Here Cabán beings in a standing position for Running in Place and Rolling through the Feet, adding in arm movements (holding both weights) to each of these exercises. These moves serve to pre-fatigue the upper body for a traditional series of Pilates arms work, including Bicep Curls, Tricep Extensions, Zip Ups, The Bug, Little Circles, and Boxing. For many of these exercises, Cabán begins with the heels grounded but then rises onto the toes as she repeats the exercise. She continues to hold both weights for all of the remaining moves, which include Lunges, Side Bend, "Hide Your Hands," Pick a Flower, Wall series, Arm Lifts, Arm Circles, and finally, Roll-Downs.

Overall, I was very impressed with this workout kit. The design of the S-weights seemed very ergonomic in nature, as they were extremely comfortable to use, offered even distribution of the weight, and were very easily incorporated into the flow of the workouts. Given this, I actually felt the exercises more intensely than I ever have before. I consider myself to be an a perennial intermediate level in Pilates; although I have always enjoyed Pilates matwork, I have never gotten much out of the other Pilates exercises--e.g., the Rowing series, the Pilates Arms work, etc.--in the past. But Cabán's distinctive method of putting these movements together along with the S-weights truly made a difference.

Cabán does not mirror-cue, but she has an excellent, easygoing instruction style; she does assume some pre-existing familiarity with basic Pilates moves here. In summary, I would highly recommend this workout set, particularly for intermediate level and above Pilates practitioners.

I have been "working out" with Ana's DVDs for almost six years and she never disappoints me.Even if i really don't have a favorite Ana's DVD (i love them all), the Total Toning adds a twist to the Pilates work out. At the end of each routine, you really feel that each single part of your body has worked out! She is the BEST!!!!!!!

Description

Moving Comfort's most popular sports bra, the Fiona features seam-free molded cups with one-way stretch powermesh that encapsulates the breasts for support and limits up and down movement. This means that you can maintain the shape of your bust, while still receiving the high level of support and movement control that you expect from a sports bra. Two-way stretch powermesh on the back of the bra provides extra-firm support, while front adjustable straps with flattering design lines and a concealed hook-and-loop closure provide a perfect fit and enhance support. The wide-banded back will not bite into your sides and is fastened with three plush-backed hook-and-eye rows. Bras with bands sized 40 to 44 have a fourth row on the band. The Fiona Bra is constructed with fabrics that manage moisture for high-intensity activities. Designed for high-impact sports, the Fiona features combined encapsulation and compression support. The encapsulation bra cup construction surrounds the breast to give support and shaping, protecting the breast tissue from horizontal, vertical, and circular motion during sports. Compression bra construction redistributes breast tissue to evenly press against the chest wall limiting overall motion. The Fiona is an exceptional sports bra, designed to flatter a woman's form, while offering optimum fit and comfort performance.

Make sure you can comfortably take a deep breath with the bra fastened on the middle hook. Be sure the band doesn't ride up in the back. If it does, the band may be too loose and/or the straps need to be adjusted. Cups: Adjust your breasts for a proper fit. They should be completely held within the cups without overflowing. Fabric should be smooth. Wrinkles or puckers indicate the cup is too big. Underwire should sit on your ribcage below the breast tissue and follow your natural shape. Straps: Should offer minimal stretch to reduce up-and-down breast movement. Wider straps will disperse the weight and feel more comfortable. Straps should not dig in or slide off your shoulders. Adjustable straps offer a more custom fit. About Moving Comfort: Two female runners founded Moving Comfort in 1977 before there were women's workout clothes.

Best Bra I've found

by Laura A. Murphy from on 2010-08-27
I normally wear a 34DD, but I have one of these in a 34C and a 34D. The smaller one is the only thing that I can run in, while the larger one is perfect for spinning classes and more comfortable to wear. When you size down you do lose some of the separation that this bra is designed to offer, but since I've yet to find another bra that can provide separation and enough support, this is not too upsetting. It still beats a compression only bra.

Wonderful!!

by geeniusgirl from on 2010-08-19
This bra is the best sports bra that I have ever worn. It is comfortable, adjustable, and holds my boobs in place. I would definitely buy another one. Moving comfort knows what they're doing!

it's okay

by rena f trumbull from on 2010-08-18
It's comfortable and I like the adjustable straps. I just wish it were underwire so the girls couldn't slip through the bottom. It is very comfortable but I won't use it for high impact activities like running or volleyball but will use it for elliptical or walking.

Excellent bra for the money

by Lizzy from Seattle, WA USA on 2010-08-09
I am normally a 42DD. I took others advice and ordered a 40DD instead, and was very happy I did so. This bra really did the trick for me after many others failed. I am not a runner, but do some serious hiking and was very comfortable the whole time. Nothing pinches and my back and shoulders felt good even after wearing it for a whole day. This bra offers really good coverage, with no "spillage" out of the sides or top like some others I have tried. Adjustable velcro straps in the front are really nice as well!

The merchandise was exactly the same as in the store only $15.00 less expensive! I received my product the same week. I would purchase again from Amazon.

Spacer technology reinforces strap support. Plush underwire prevents chafing and enhances comfort. Non-adjustable straps. 3 column, 3 row hook and eye back closure. Perfect for active lifestyles. Ideal for running, aerobics, high-impact activities.

With remarkable two-in-one support, the Moving Comfort Maia Bra is made to fit and flatter larger-breasted women. With seam-free molded cups and an underwire to separate and support the breasts, the Maia offers an enhanced fit and a smooth, no-line look under shirts. To further reinforce and support the chest and increase comfort, internal spacer fabric extends from the cup to the strap of the bra. The back straps are adjustable for an optimum fit, and three plush-backed hook-and-eye rows on band offer further adjustable comfort. On a purely aesthetic level, the Maia reduces the "tube" effect created by so many sports bras on the market so you can look great and feel great. Designed for high-impact sports, the Maia features combined encapsulation and compression support. The encapsulation bra cup construction surrounds the breast to give support and shaping, protecting the breast tissue from horizontal, vertical, and circular motion during sports.

Best Sports bra ever for larger busted women (36dd)

by K. Inman from CA on 2010-08-26
I have been wearing MC Maia for about 5 years. i spin, zumba, strength train and participate in boot camp. No other bra kept my chest where it belongs while doing these activities.

Maia is the most comfortable bra with the inner liner stability and underwires. It doesn't give me the uniboob look. The compression is perfect for me. I thought for a moment I may have issues with my heart rate monitor/calorie counter but after 6 months everything is fine.

My biggest complaint is the variety of colors. So many smaller women have pretty colors and cool prints. Wish Maia was more colorful and fun.

Moving Comfort Maia bra with adjustable straps

by B. Lui from on 2010-08-20
This bra isn't as comfortable as the ones I have with non-adjustable straps and it provides less coverage and support than the others I have of the same size. Very disappointing. I love the older style and was really hopeful that this new one would be as good. Very big sigh.....

best busty-gal sports bra ever.

by kabke808 from on 2010-08-19
This is definitely the functionally best sports bra I have ever had. I wear a 34DD and it's like I don't even have a large chest when I have this bra on. It really does give you a nice shape that is not a uniboob...I even wear it under button down shirts sometimes because it minimizes in the right places and keeps that pesky middle button from popping open!

I would recommend this bra to any busty women, particularly those of us who aren't big anywhere but our chests. The only drawbacks to this bra is that it is a bit high-cut in the front and is a little bulky under tight workout tank tops and/or those with a built-in shelf bra. That said, I'll take the high neckline because it keeps the girls from bouncing out of control. Plus you don't need the extra layer of support from a bra top tank once you have this...I can wear any t-shirt or tank top with it. I've run a lot of 10-mile plus runs since getting this bra and have never experienced any issues with chafing or blisters, even on my collarbone (has anyone else noticed a lot of sports bras have a seam that hits right on your collarbone? How dumb!)

Very comfortable and a great looking bra

by Angela K. Risner from Ohio on 2010-08-06
I love this bra. I think I love it even more than the Fiona that I bought earlier this year. I like that it comes up higher on my chest and doesn't show as much cleavage.

I am normally a 42 D, but I bought this in a 44D and I really love the fit. I know that it's meant to fit tighter than a lingerie bra, but I also wanted to make sure that it was comfortable on my ribcage.

I am going to take out the underwires, because I simply don't like them in any sort of bra. I will tell you that those suckers are in there to stay for most folks, as I couldn't even find a place to cut in and take them out. I'm taking them to my mother who is practically a seamstress and I know she'll be able to remove them in a way that won't hurt the rest of the bra.

Very comfortable, very supportive, and overall a great looking bra. If I were a skinnier person, I would feel comfortable taking my shirt off at the gym in it.

Great Sports Bra!

by Shopper138 from on 2010-07-22
I love this sports bra. Instead of wearing a normal bra and a sports bra over it, this covers me. As busty as I am, I can wear a tank top to run outside, with this underneath, and I get little to no bounce, no pain, and I do not feel like I am falling out. I never have to adjust it while strength training or running. It stays put! Wonderful buy, totally worth it. FINALLY someone put thought into a bra.

Best sports bra I've ever owned

by Cheaply Chic from New York, NY on 2010-08-17
I absolutely love this bra and am back on Amazon buying more. I'm a 34DD but sized down to 34D with this, and it's perfect. This bra has firmly held the girls jiggle-free through skiing, mountain biking, running, and aerobics classes.

My lone complaint is that the thick material retains sweat, which can get pretty uncomfortable on long runs.

Excellent Buy

by Fitness Girl from NY, NY on 2010-06-24
This is a great shirt on or off sports bra that is stylish, still very supportive, but not flattening. I am loving this bra. It is also very true to size. The price was right. This was an excellent buy!

nice shape, pretty but not very functional

by Young Chang from scottsdale, az on 2010-06-17
It's nice shape and flattering. However, it retains sweat alot which makes it feel very uncomfortable after only a few minutes of working out for someone who sweat alot like me won't appreciate so much. I ended up buying three of these though.. 1st one wrong size, one pink/white, and one white/charcoal. no return policy due to sanitary reason, so choose the right size, you can't return it even if you get the wrong size.

awesome.

by M. Haas from on 2010-05-12
I'm impressed with this sports bra. I've never really been a fan of sports bras because of the horrible uniboob issue, this bra takes care of that problem though! There is some slight padding to help give your boobs some shape and it's overall pretty comfy. If you're in need spend a little more on this and invest in an excelent sports bra.

great for running

by M. Davis from New Jersey on 2010-04-22
This sports bra is alot lighter than my other champion sports bra but just as good at preventing unneccessary bouncing. It is also good at wicking away sweat. I bought the "latte" color and you cannot see it under a white tee.

AMAZING sports bra!

by Alyssa Adkins from Lubbock, TX, USA on 2010-04-18
As a 34DD, I've always had issues finding a perfect sports bra. Look no further, this is it! Great support, incredible comfort! I don't want to rip it off immediately after wearing it to the gym, it's so comfy! I absolutely recommend this to all my big busted ladies out there!

ALL BRAS SHOULD BE THIS COMFORTABLE.

by Mary M. Hanner from Tustin, CA United States on 2010-04-03
This bra is easy to put on, stays in place, doesn't dig into me and is supportive. I love the velcro adjustable straps, all bras should have them. I didn't realize how much I sweated until I took my bra off!
It made my breasts look normal size. I need to get some more of these bras. The product listing does not tell you that the straps are velcro adjustable, what a nice feature. The material doesn't get itchy, feels soft and comfortable. Mary from SOCAL.

best sports bra I've ever had

by Funny girl from seattle on 2010-03-07
I've always had trouble with the sports bras I've had in the past. I've resorted to wearing two bras to work out, until I bought this bra. It's extremely comfortable, and minimizes unwanted movement, even for larger cup sizes. This bra is absolutely worth buying!!!

good, but not quite the best

by Shannon N. Folk from on 2010-02-06
I bought this sports bra after reading some of the reviews on it. I'm a 34-DD so I need and like lots of support. I've previously worn the Moving Comfort Fiona bra, and liked those a lot too, so that is what I'm comparing these to. The Pros:
-Super comfortable-I could wear this all day and be comfy
-Easily adjustable-can adjust exactly as you want. Would make a good maternity bra I would think
-Decreases the uniboob

Cons:
-sizes seem to run large-I bought the 34/36 D/DD and I feel like I would need to go a size smaller if I really wanted to reduce the bounce
-not quite enough compression for me. Could be the fact that the sizes run large, but that Fiona bra definately keeps the girls where they belong. This one not so much.

Overall I'm happy with these bras because they are comfortable for my regular workouts-weight lifting, elipticals, things like that. I wouldn't consider running in this bra though-I'd bust out the Moving Comfort Fiona bras, which aren't comfortable enough for all day wear but will compress the girls enough to keep them where they belong. I've reviewed the Fiona as well if you want my thoughts on that as well.

Excellent yoga pants - even for tall women like me.

by Cate from on 2010-08-24
I'm 5'10 and have a 34" inseam and these pants are perfect. Even after I washed AND dried them they didn't shrink up like nearly every single one of my other yoga pants have done. They still come down below my ankles but not too long. I'm buying more now.

It's a shame most of the reviews on this product reference a hat!

by Ms Muffintop from Mile High Frazier Park, CA on 2010-06-05
I liked these pants so much I went back and got a second pair. I bought my usual size. The flare at the bottom is flattering, makes them look like pants more than leggings. I like how they are a close fit on the thighs, not as baggy as sweatpants. I wear these hiking as well as for yoga

great book!

by J. Brown from CA on 2010-05-17
The stretching exercises in this book helped me restore full range of motion in my shoulders and arms in a very short period of time after surgery. I had been doing the exercises in the little pamphlet given to me by the surgeon, but those exercises did not seem to be producing the results I wanted. I could barely lift my arms over my head to wash my hair. It was immediately obvious from the first stretches I did, that those from the book were exactly what I needed. I like that the book has somewhat different exercises and stretches for different types of breast surgery and alternative ways of accomplishing them based on an individual's abilities and limitations. It also has really good explanations and descriptions (and illustrations) of the various surgeries. I highly recommended the book to my surgeon and occupational therapist. If you've had breast surgery, get this book and get moving.

The Breast Cancer Survior's Fitness Plan

by Deborah Headding from on 2010-03-28
This is the most informative book I found on physicaly recovering from mastectomy. It is full of information on excercises you can do after to help you recover faster with less complications. I wish I had found it before my surgery. You are sent home with instructions on what not to do but nothing on what you can do. I also bought a copy for my surgeon. The more you know the better you will do.

Excellent primer for cancer patients

by J. Scott from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida United States on 2010-02-06
My wife is currently undergoing treatment and this excellent text provides much valuable information to assist her in her recovery. This is a higly recommended "how to" book filled with practical fitness ideas and approaches, written by people who know whereof they speak. Buy it!

Very helpful information and exercises

by B. A. Jones from Atlanta, GA on 2009-12-13
I received this book 2 days after I ordered it and did not use fast delivery. I had my mastectomy 9/11 and I was not told about exercising until last week. Then I could not get into the therapy program until Dec 23. I have really been hurting and lots of fluid. I finally went on line and learned about exercising before I ordered this book. In the last hour - I have learned so much. Also the exercise pictures really shows you what to do. By the time I get to therapy - I hope to be doing well. I rate this book an 5 plus.

Good book

by LJK from Montana on 2009-11-14
This is a great book that gives a lot of accurate information. I found that if you already have breast cancer, a lot of this information is duplicate from what you can get at any good cancer center for free, but it is all combined into one book rather than tons of brochures. It's a good reference and when everyone around you has an opinion, you can go to this book for the right answers. Would make a great gift for a newly diagnosed patient.

not sure if this is an exception to their general promise about new books, but was stated as new but wasn't new, the front cover showed the book to have been used and there were small pieces of black matter that were dried and stuck to the front cover, first page and back cover

Get Started !

by A Writer from Dallas, Texas on 2008-06-04
I am so glad I started with the book before moving on to the DVD. I was able to learn all the exercises and keep up with the DVD better than I otherwise would have. After two weeks with this book, I felt more limber and like I was really doing something good for me. After two months people started to notice-- I was toning up. These exercises really work for quick results-- and it's not too big of a time commitment. I'm working out with Minna Lessig 20 to 30 minutes a day, 5 times week. After 10 months, I can definately say I love the improvement it's made.

Check out some of these moves. Select 5 different exercises and perform each one for 16-20 rei the end of your workout. Focus on proper form and get results! Consult a health care practitioner before beginning any new diet or exercise program.
