The TBow Review

By Carol J Bartram

Many people have asked me what a T-Bow is. My answer is that a T-Bow is a wolf in sheep's clothing; a home exercise device that looks like nothing you've ever seen before. All it appears to be is a piece of strong plastic in the shape of a small humpback bridge. It is bright orange and has a blue mat on the curved side. Believe it or not, this T-Bow is the only piece of home exercise kit that you will ever need! The only extras you will need are some inexpensive elastic exercise bands and perhaps some hand weights, to vary your exercise routine. Not only can the T-Bow be used for cardio-type exercises, improving heart and lung function and aiding in weight loss, it is also perfect for strength exercises which are an essential part of any full-body exercise routine, helping to build lean muscle and burn more calories even when you are not exercising.

The T-Bow can be used in several ways, meaning that it can give you a varied work out and you are less likely to get bored. All you need to do to get started is lift the T-Bow up by the easy-to-carry edge and lay it down on the floor. It does not even need a mat to stand on, carpet is perfect. When the curved side is facing up, the T-Bow will not move when you stand on it, giving you confidence and allowing you to do step workouts. Step is very good for weight loss and fat burning, and you can do step even if you are out of condition, a mature adult, or even quite overweight, as the T-Bow is very strong. Just by stepping you will tone the fronts and backs of your thighs, the harder to get at area inside the thigh and also your calf and butt muscles.

But this is only part of what you can do with the T-Bow. If you turn it over, it becomes a rocking platform, and can be used for further cardio exercises, challenging your balance and coordination as well as working or your thigh, calf, and bottom muscles in a totally different way for even greater calorie burn. You can rock from side to side or turn through a right angle and rock forward and back. It is harder than it looks, but you do not feel unsafe as you are never far from the floor. It also makes your workout feeling like playtime!

With the T-Bow it is easy to do a toning workout as well as cardio exercise. The T-Bow is carefully designed so that the special exercise bands can be attached in seconds, meaning that you get the most out of your workouts in the shortest possible time. Exercise bands add resistance to your exercises, meaning that you can strengthen the muscles in your legs, arms, shoulders, chest and back for a perfect all over tone. And toned muscle means increased fat-burning 24 hours a day!

Once your cardio and toning workout on the T-Bow has been done, you can move seamlessly to floor level and use the amazing T-Bow for Pilates-based exercises. Experts have proved that is doing Pilates regularly shapes and strengthens your body from the inside out, improving your posture and your balance, mobilising stiff joints and strengthening the spine. And I know of no better method than Pilates for flattening the problem area of the lower stomach, that seems to bulge no matter what you do! All workouts should ideally finish with a couple of minutes stretching all the major muscle groups to lengthen and relax them. All your stretches can be done using the T-Bow, and this is a perfect way to end an exercise session. - 17273
