Bodylastics and Total Gym On Sale This Week

By Habib Wicks, PEERtrainer co-founder

We are big advocates of people getting physically stronger. And we strongly recommend having stuff at home that you can use. Two things that I use literally every day when I am at home are Bodylastics and Total Gym. You can get both products at a discount this week.

Bodylastics

Bodylastics makes resistance bands sets. There are different options depending on how much resistance you are looking for. This company makes the highest quality product in the market. We cover resistance bands a lot in our fitness content. If you have been thinking about buying a set, for the next week the company is offering PEERtrainer members a 5% discount. You can apply the discount by clicking on this link and then entering the word "peertrainer" (you need to use lowercase) in the coupon code field. This code expires in a week. Btw, Blake runs this company and is my buddy. I can personally vouch for the product and the people behind it!

Total Gym

The best way to describe Total Gym is by presenting part of their Wikipedia Entry:

"In 1974 (before there was any thought of an informercial) the very first Total Gym was developed by Tom Campanaro (then a competitive body builder) and his partners Dale McMurray and Larry Westfall in San Diego, California. They started a company with the name "Total Gym Incorporated". The device encouraged "functional exercise", a way of duplicating movements the body performs in everyday life, with and against gravity. This caught the eye of Physical Therapists and other medical professionals. The machine was found to engage all muscle groups, allowing over 100 functional exercises on different levels of inclined resistance. The full range of motion and variable resistance levels (heavier resistance near the top and light resistance when more horizontal) brought much attention to various professionals. Customers were starting to use the product for upper and lower body exercises to do stretching, strengthening, and comprehensive movements similar to aerobics. The easy concept was found to help facilitate key components of exercise: cardiovascular endurance (aerobics), muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body composition. The machines typically take up much less space than a complete set of weights and machines."

I simply LOVE this machine. Right now I am training for a marathon and find that it is an excellent addition to my overall training. Until August 20th you can get the top of the line model (the XLS) for almost half off. If you have been thinking about getting one, this is the time! Click here to buy a Total Gym XLS with the discount.

Thanks for this. Too bad I ordered mine last week w/o any coupon ... oh, well.

I've done one workout so far. Can't tell much yet, but it was fun. The only difficulty is finding a door with enough room in front of it and that I want to pull that hard on.

we just found out about the Bodylastics coupon today. I sent it out the minute I heard. The company will be starting a series of online exercise videos which we will be sending out as we get them. We might even be in a couple of them!
