Excellent exercise gear
926813
It the world of workout gear, there are times when you can buy the store brand, or the cheaper version, and there's no difference. The biggest exception is under amour's heat and cold gear. This shirt is heat great. It is designed to keep you cool when the weather gets hot. When I go for a run, I always throw on my under armour. Cold gear is great up to about 50 degrees, then it's time to switch to heat gear.
A few things must be said. First, buy the size you always buy. I'm 6'1 180lbs (yeah, I don't exactly look like the guy in the ad), and I always buy large. The large fits me perfectly. Keep in mind, it's called compression gear for a reason. It should feel snug, quite snug. It acts as a second skin, wicking away sweat, keeping you cool, but it in no way restricts your movement.
On an average run here's how it works. When you first put it on, if you're not used to it, it may feel a bit strange. That's ok, just go with it. Throw a running shirt over and head out the door. After the first mile, you probably won't even notice you're wearing it, as you really start to heat up, for me that's usually mile 3-4, something strange happens: I feel comfortable. Yes it's hot out (let's say its 70-80 degrees), but I feel cool and comfortable, relative to how I feel without the compression gear. By the end of the run, there is a noticeable difference in how hot I feel. It keeps you cooler then you think it will (still hot, and sweaty, but it really takes the edge off).
After a workout, peel off the shirt, and set it aside for your next workout. It is a second skin, it should feel tight, if it's not, it won't wick the sweat and it won't keep you cool. Finally, unlike the store brand knock offs, the under armour doesn't ride up. Some of the cheap knock offs slide up as you run so by the end it's more sports bra then sports shirt. Not so with so with under armour. It stays put, keeps you cool, and is great for serious athletes and casual runners alike. I've also worn it during soccer games with similar results. Even with all the sliding and tumbling, it stays put and keeps me cool. Worth every penny, and as always, a great price on amazon.

This same piece of equipment is at the gym that I go to. I decided to purchase it because is so versatile- I can perform so many different exercises with it. It takes up very little space, is easy to assemble, and very well made. Excellent product at a fantastic price point.

I have tried numerous home gyms:  Free weights, Nordicflex Gold, Soloflex, Bowflex, and Powerblock dumbells, and I have worked out on the Nautilus, Hammerstrength, Cable machines, Free Weights and the Cybex machines.  Through my experience of weight training for 10 years for fitness, a variety of exercises are necessary to keep interest going.

As a complement to free weights (Powerblock Prorexan Pro), this gym completes what I need: variety for exercises to keep muscles growing.  Cable exercises give constant tension when going through the entire range of motion.  This machine replicates that feeling and simulates exercises similar to handstand pushups, pullups and every exercise for the body that you can think of (ie Bench, Rows, Curls, extensions, incline situps).  The limitation comes to exercises for legs.  Although 100 pounds can be added and an exercise similar to leg curls is available, you will need to look for other exercises to 'overload' the muscles.

Instructions, a video, workout cards with prescribed routines are provided.  The machine is 95% assembled except for the foot rest.

As for the machine, setup took less than 10 minutes.  Motion is smooth with the ball bearing setup.  Only certain exercises make you notice the notch in the middle of the track where there is a noticeable click (majority of exercises do not precipitate the clicking noise).  The chrome finish and leather like vinyl cover with 2 inches of padding is nice.  Action is smooth and the accessories included tops the higher end gyms such as the Infomercial Total Gym and Bowflex (ie straight bar, leg attachment, pull up and incline bar, deluxe oversized platform for leg exercises).  The option to add weights is another advantage over conventional machines of this genre.  One limitation is that ropes instead of cables were used; however, there is a lifetime replacement on the pulleys, cables and rollers (this is more than I can say for competitors).  The foot rest could be designed to be sturdier (it does tend to sway slightly).

As for safety, two pins lock the incline in place (one metal, one plastic).

This machine is excellent for beginners, intermediate and advanced bodybuilders and athletes.  Although not the end all for the advanced bodybuilders, this machine helps augment free weights and is excellent for a supplement to routines.  For pilates enthusiasts, a pilates machine is available.

For my first workout, I did the following sequence:
Rows, Seated Bench press, Pull ups, Supine bench press (x3 sets)
Military presses, biceps curls, triceps extensions, squats and leg curls (x 3 sets)

The transition between exercises were pretty simple and circuit training can easily be implemented.  Pulley position has to be changed when doing "advanced exercises" such as upright rows, supine bench presses, kneeling curls, etc.

Workouts are 'fun' and I look forward to exercising regularly.  Due to its flexibility and ease of changing resistance, two training partners of different levels can workout together without much trouble.

Item has a 1 year warranty on the remainder of the parts.

Highly recommend Bayou Fitness and the DLX III!

Update:
2 years since I bought this machine and it is still working well for me.  I have found that the smooth operation along its tracks to be holding up well.  The nylon cords are still holding up despite rigorous use.  The only exercise equipment that I have ever owned that is not a rack for drying clothes  :)

I have been a regular user of 2XU running clothes for 3 years. All of their apparel is of the highest quality and durability even when treated, washed and dried (don't tumble or sun dry- even though it will last) with abuse.
As an ultra trail runner I have come to appreciate the benefits of compression wear for both leg and core muscles mainly in racing and training but latest research indicates that there are distinct benefits when these garments are worn post-exercise during recovery.
This particular pair of tights uses their proven PWS nylon compression fabric with the new and highly reflective "Hypotik" overlays and prints.
The fit is tight as expected and runs as indicated on the size chart (unfortunately, this variety does not come in the "Tall" sizes that have a longer inseam), the LARGE will fit well when you wear a 32-33/34 pant size.
This is a thermal tight so it will be ideal as a single layer in the temperature range of 25-50 degree Fahrenheit. I really don't need my calves covered (can always wear a sleeve) so it is nice to keep the knees warm and gain some extra flexibility through the capri design.
Despite the high compression factor it flexes well and does not limit range of motion during exercise.

Granted, 2XU apparel is not cheap, but it is rivaled only by some Salomon Exo and Gore products and they are in a similar price range.

I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.

This product is a great complement to existing equipment, for anybody who wants to tone specific muscles that the other equipment can not target, at an extremely affordable price.  It is lightweight, portable, and versatile. I purchased it primarily for the exercises that can be completed using the door attachment.

I would estimate the resistance at about 15-20 pounds, based on the number of repetitions I can do with this as compared to weights in the 20-35 pound range.  The door attachment works well and allows me to target specific areas for toning.  The nylon bands around the plastic handles rotate freely so that everything can be adjusted for maximum comfort for the exercise you are completing.  In general it seems well-constructed, and no part seems like it will easily fail.  I feel safe while using the product.  The included charts are actually helpful for me, allowing me to complete some additional exercises that I would not even have thought about.

For the price, this perfectly rounds-out my exercise routine, and I may consider getting additional bands with a higher resistance in the future.

This is an excellent quality piece of equipment! It was very simple to put together. It took less than five minutes using the four screws, bolts and included wrench.

It's great for pull-ups and very easy to hang in the door for that purpose. I also prefer to use it for push-ups, because gripping the handles is much easier on my wrists than when they're flat on the floor. You can also use it for triceps dips and sit-ups if you want something to secure your feet.

It comes with a 12 week training program displayed on a wall poster, and unlimited access to their online personal trainer videos. I am grateful to have purchased this at a promotional rate for my honest review. This is my opinion based on my personal experience with the door gym. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

This is a great set of exercise bands.  They are well made, and have obvious printing to show the different resistances.  The carrying bag that comes with them is a really nice tough too.  VERY convenient.

These bands are great in situation where you want to exercise, can't carry a weight set with you.  No excuses!

Note - I received this product at a discount for my honest, unbiased review

GREAT workout tops.  Long enough to stay in place doing yoga.  Gives total freedom of movement.  Fabric is thick enough to cover well, yet not too warm to work out in.  Launders well.  I have 3 of them and that's all I wear for all my workouts now.  Wish they had more colors though.  I had bought a black one a few years ago, and I have 2 of the green.  Would like a new black one and maybe Melon or something like that.
You can also wear these for casual wear.

I'm pleased with this excellent pair of Reebok training gloves. I've found them useful in the weight room where I need to have a secure grip at all times. These gloves simply fit like good workout gloves should.

I like the breathable fabric that helps keep me cool during training. Of course, the palm side is made of a durable material that protects while handling weights, ropes and other materials. I also like the clever two-loop design that makes it easy to slip the gloves off when my workout is over.

I highly recommend Reebok training gloves to everyone.

I've used resistance bands from a number of companies over the years, and these are some of the best I've tried. My girlfriend and I have been using them for a bit now, with no issues whatsoever. The clip-on system makes it fast and easy to not only switch bands, but combine them as well without being cumbersome, which is nice for workouts where you're in need of multiple levels of resistance. All of the components and accessories seem to be of very good quality (the handles are comfortable to hold, which is not always the case with resistance bands), and the value for the total package is excellent (the door anchor is great for pull-downs when a pull-up bar isn't an option). Plus, they're manufactured by a small, family-owned company -- you can't beat that.
