Beachbody has finally released the highly anticipated RevAbs with Brett Hoebel 90-day fitness program. Marketed for its ability to transform the abdominals, RevAbs is also a comprehensive full-body strength and conditioning system.
The 8 DVD program employs an “Abcentrics” method that targets the abs from six different angles — upper flexion, lower flexion, side flexion, double flexion, twising and extension.
Situps and crunches alone cannot give you the ab-defining results provided by RevAbs. The system “fires” the abs and burns the fat that’s covering them with systematic intervals of ab training, cardiovascular training and strength training.
You probably already know about Beachbody, producers of P90X and INSANITY, but who is Brett Hoebel?
While P90X has redefined what can be accomplished by a home exercise system, Beachbody continues to produce high quality fitness programs, with varied levels of acclaim.
With the highly anticipated release of Insanity with Shaun T., Beachbody may have a program that rivals P90X in popularity, intensity and results. P90X is a 90 day program (hence the name), while Insanity aims to put you in the best shape of your life in just 60 days. It’s also differs in that it requires no weights, resistance bands or extra equipment.
Since the introduction of Tony Horton’s P90X Extreme Home Fitness System, multifunction workout bars have seen skyrocketing sales. This product is a lower-priced alternative to the P90X Chin-Up/Pull-Up Bar commonly used with P90X.
After simple assembly the Iron Gym Total Upper Body Bar can be installed in standard doorways in just seconds. Using your body’s own weight as leverage the bar mounts securely without the use of brackets, screws or fasteners.
Best known for his P90X system that has exploded online and through infomercials, Tony Horton has gained a massive following for his popular library of fitness programs. We like P90X (see our review here) but have heard numerous comments about how advanced and DIFFICULT it is for some.
The 10 Minute Trainer, sold through Beachbody, is a good choice for those looking for a less rigorous program. But don’t expect to breeze through these DVD workouts. They are challenging.
There’s a fitness revolution underway. Technologically advanced exercise gadgets and equipment innovations are transforming not only how we exercise, but how we stay motivated to exercise.
The Wii Fit, at the forefront of this movement, has gained massive media attention. But there are many other new gadgets and exercise equipment advances that will keep you fired up about fitness.
Hear How You Run
Two of the most recognizable and successful brands in America, Nike and Apple have collaborated to develop a cutting edge fitness innovation.
The Nike + iPod Sport Kit monitors your running experience by transmitting data through a wireless connection between your Nike shoe and your iPod nano. The microchip tracks speed, distance, time, and calories burned while real-time spoken feedback announces milestones throughout your workout .
The PowerSongs option integrates your favorite iTunes selections. The kit works with the iPod nano 1G, 2G and 3G and any Nike+ shoe.

Virtual Reality Enhanced Cycling Systems
Although The Expresso Upright Stationary Bike is designed for commercial fitness clubs (you can’t afford it), the cool factor merits a mention. This futuristic system engages not just the muscles but also the mind by fusing exertainment with web-based personalization.
Imagine playing a visually stunning video game, but instead of planted on the sofa with a game pad, you’re actually riding a top-of-the-line recumbent or upright stationary bike. The handlebars move for realistic steering as you pedal and compete on an interactive course, creating the immersive illusion of being on the open road.
The web based high-res screen delivers personalized, real time fitness information. You can set goals, track progress and log data online, taking your workout places it’s never been.

Transform Exercise Into “Gamercise”
Some fitness-themed games can only keep your attention for a short time before becoming boring and routine. What sets this system apart is the ability to plug in to any of your favorite games or systems.
Gamercize interacts with your Xbox360, PSP3 or Wii, letting you play normally while exercising – but when you pause the game pauses with you. Adjust the exercise level to maximize enjoyment of the game and provide the greatest fitness benefit.
The system records your statistics and you’ll be amazed at how much workout time you’ve logged when the game is over. The Gamercize system is available as a cycle or stepper, the best choices to leave your hands free to operate the controller.

Bowflex, America's leading home fitness equipment manufacturer, has helped countless people reach their desired health and fitness goals. The leading edge Bowflex line of home exercise equipment offers gym-quality results in your own home, helping you to lose pounds, get in better condition or completely transform your body.
In this article we’ll focus on the Bowflex SelectTech Dumbells and the Bowflex line of Treadclimbers -- two extremely popular Bowlex products -- and for good reason.
The Bowflex SelectTech Dumbbells
exemplify one of the most ingenious and versatile exercise equipment
advances in recent years. You no longer need a rack with multiple
dumbbells at various weights. The SelectTech series effectively
replaces 17 sets of dumbbells using a unique dial system that allows
you to quickly modify the weight in 2.5 lb, 5 lb or 10 lb increments,
depending on the model. The entire system utilizes one compact base
that takes up about the space of one set of dumbbells.
Bowflex offers the SelectTech Dumbbells in three models – the SelectTech 220, SelectTech 552 (the most popular) and SelectTech 1090.
Available in four primary models, the Bowflex Treadclimber provides
an option for every fitness level and budget. They include the TC1000,
TC3000, TC5000, and TC6000. Owning a Bowflex TreadClimber is like
having a treadmill, elliptical trainer, and Stairmaster all in one
compact home exercise solution. The machine's distinct synthesis of
movements, utilizing two independently operating platforms, is
efficient and highly effective.
The most affordable option, the TC1000 features a 3.8 mph (6.1 kph) maximum treadmill speed, while the top of the line TC 6000 runs at a top speed of4.5 mph (7.2 kph). The TC3000 and TC5000 each top out at 4.0 mph (6.4 kph).
There are many other important distinctions to be made among the various Bowflex Treadclimber models. Beginning with the TC1000, all models include 3 elemental functions -- Speed, Distance and Time. The TC3000 also gives you Calories per Minute, Total Calories and Total Steps. The TC5000 then adds two additional functions -- the Climb Indicator and the Heart Rate Monitor. Finally, the high end TC6000 includes all of the above plus additional training programs, including Cross Training, Intervals, Plateau, The Brooklyn Bridge and The Golden Gate Bridge. The Heart Rate Monitor on the TC5000 and TC 6000 lets yo
