Weider Total Body Works 5000 A Budget Home Gym To Kick-Start Weight Training?
5000 Weider Total Body Works Home Gyms are budget, affordable start-up fitness devices for novices new to weight training. The trainer is also a compact solution if your space is as limited as your budget. Although the machine isn’t for serious body builders, it works all muscle groups and is fairly easy to assemble and use. The Weider Total Body Works 5000 may not come with the names of Total Gym’s Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley behind it, but it carries the name of the well-known Icon stable.
If you are new to weight training, you probably don’t need a complicated machine. In fact, that may just put you off from attempting a strength training routine. A simple device, such as the steel Weider Total Body Works 5000, is probably a sensible choice to start with. The weight capacity is a respectable 250 pounds. A 30 minute workout DVD with three workouts and glossy exercise guide are included.
The machine features a moveable sliding board and a cable and pulley system. You are promised more than one hundred different exercises. The benches are adjustable with the use of a pin. Although you use your body weight as resistance, the incline can be adjusted to increase this further. Set the slide higher for a more challenging resistance level. Seven positions are available. Another resistance factor that is added, is a set of bands. These are fitted into brackets - by adding cords, you will also be adding resistance up to 50 pounds.The package includes ankle supports for abdominal work.
Use the footplate when doing leg presses. The handlebars are used for flyes for example. These are excellent for building strength and definition in your chest or pecs, as well as for bicep curls or pull ups. When you are facing the other way, the handlebars can be used for rowing exercises.
The warranty unfortunately is only valid for 90 days, however the machine doesn’t come with all the electronics and other vulnerable components of a treadmill for example, so the coverage may not be that important.
If you are more serious about your body building, look at the 1120 Weider Pro Home Gyms, the Weider Max Weight Systems or the C 700 Weider Home Gyms. However, if you simply want to get fit and build a bit of muscle, the Weider Total Body Works 5000 may be all you need.
