Lifeline USA Power Wheel Review

I’m well aware that the vast majority of folks surfing the web for fitness information have the goal of carving out a sexy set of washboard abs.  That’s why I want to preface this review with a bit of pertinent information – while this may be one of the very best tools for completely blasting every single muscle of your core, simply using it alone and completely neglecting other types of movement and exercise or completely neglecting your diet will most likely not result in you seeing those much desired abs.  Despite what some advertisements promise, attaining a six pack takes more than just “five minutes a day.”

Now that I’ve got that off my chest, let’s actually talk about the Power Wheel!  This ab roller from Lifeline USA, who just so happens to be a company that offers a number of incredible pieces of equipment, is far and away the single best ab roller on the market.  The Power Wheel is incredibly sturdy, is ultra smooth and, unlike a good deal of other wheels out there, actually works on just about any surface.

In addition to just being a much better quality piece of equipment than just about any other ab wheel out there, the Power Wheel also has versatility on its side.  With the Power Wheel you not only have access to the comfortable handles, you can also opt to secure your feet to the pedals instead in order to change things up and work your core from an entirely different angle.

If you are looking for a unique and highly effective way to get a super intense core workout in as little time as possible, I would definitely recommend the Power Wheel from Lifeline USA before any other ab wheel or fancy ab machine out there.

Iron Gym Pull Up Bar Review

If you are planning on putting together a complete home gym, a good place to do pull ups is not only a nice addition it’s practically an essential addition.  There are plenty of different options available when it comes to pull up bars, but if you live in a small home or apartment, a door mounted unit will probably the most convenient for your situation.

Even after slimming down the options and focusing on portable door mounted units, there are still quite a few to choose from.  I ultimately opted to review Iron Gym’s version of this incredibly versatile workout tool because of one reason – it’s affordable.  You can do pretty much everything on the Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar that you can on others that cost upwards of fifty dollars, but you can find this unit on Amazon for around $20.

Once assembled, this bar can literally be “installed” in seconds to instantly provide you with a safe and sturdy place to do pull ups, chin ups, knee raises and hanging leg raises then it can just as quickly be moved to the floor to give you a set of convenient push up handles.  The unit itself is very sturdy, so if your door frame is capable of holding your weight through a set of pull ups or chin ups you should have no problem at all getting an awesome upper body workout with the Iron Gym pull up bar.

Building a fully functional home gym might take you a little time, but this one versatile and affordable addition can help you to effectively target areas of your body that would have a bit of trouble working well with other pieces of equipment.  If you don’t have the space required to set up a free standing pull up unit or complete power rack with a pull up bar or you don’t want to go through the hassle of affixing a permanent pull up unit to a wall in your home, the Iron Gym pull up bar gives you a super affordable and very effective alternative for getting a great upper body and core workout.
