In order to choose the right Bodylastics system for your workouts you need to know about what they offer you. Many articles written about Bodylastic are not current or up-to-date. They only talk about the two systems that they used to offer.
Today, Bodylastics offers a third system called the Bodylastics Terrell Owens strong man edition resistance bands.
A Brief Bodylastics History
Bodylastics were designed by Blake Kassel back in 1996. He too was looking for and a home gym but was discouraged with the high cost of the ones available then. It seems not much changes since most home gyms like Bowflex, Total Gym, Bio Force TNT and even Soloflex will cost you several hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
But the Bodylastic system you can get a complete body workout. That means you can exercise your upper and lower body, whether you're a man or woman this home gym will get you the results you want. All you need to do is set aside a few minutes 3 or 4 times a week to get in a body shaping workout.
The Bodylastic system doesn't need much room, unlike many home gyms. This article I will discuss two of the Bodylastic system. The first one is...
Beginners -- Basic Set
Bodylastics system used to come with two sets. Today, there is a third set that I refer to as the advanced home gym. They are the -- Bodylastics Terrell Owens Strong Man Edition Resistance Bands but, more about the T0 bands later.
If you are just beginning exercising or have a very casual attitude towards exercise in general then I would suggest that you start out with the Bodylastics Basic Resistance Set. It offers you 15 combinations. With this system you receive 4 exercise bands, 2 ankle straps, door anchor, 2 foam handles, 2 ankle straps for leg exercises and a user's manual which is really a book.
The bands are color coded so that you will know the different resistance levels and they can easily be stored or transported where ever you want in their own travel bag.
Intermediate -- Max Resistance Set
If you have been working out or exercising for a while and are familiar with resistance training, then perhaps the Bodylastic Max resistance system will be perfect for you. The system includes everything that comes in the basic set but adds in a black resistance band that has a resistance level of almost 25 pounds.
The difference between the basic and the Max resistance that is essentially this one band.
With all the Bodylastics systems you get access to their online video training program called... Strength University. There you will find video tutorials that will explain the proper procedure to perform each of the many exercises.
Of all the resistance band systems on the market today, such as the Billy Blanks, B line resistance bands or even the P90X resistance bands -- in my opinion, Bodylastics bands are the best.
