What is the Bodylastics System!

The Bodylastics System is being regarded as the fifty dollar alternative to the Bowflex home gym as it provides all the comforts of a home gym system and is portable. It's brilliant design enables any person to have a full body workout. Even a kid can workout with this system.

Bodylastics uses the same resistance theory that is used by traditional weight lifting systems in the gyms and health clubs. The equipment is the only difference between the two. The Bowflex and other weight lifting systems are bulky and need a lot of space and are not portable.

But you can take Bodylastics anywhere and use them. You can use this home gym system while watching TV or in the field or use it when you are holidaying.

The Bodylastics System relies on elastic bands to provide resistance. Each elastic band has different thickness and so it provides different resistance. The more the thickness the higher the resistance. These bands offer the same benefits as the free weights in the health clubs or gyms. The resistance offered by the bands is about five to twenty five pounds depending on its thickness. But if combined together they can give even more resistance and act as an alternative to the free weights.

The Bodylastics home gym system has used two new variations of the elastic resistance theory. These are:

The Quick Clip System: This system allows the user to attach multiple bands onto a set of handles or ankle straps. This way you can have a greater resistance. This suits advanced muscle builders who use weights of more than twenty five pounds in the gym. This is an easier way to change weights.All you need to do is just change the bands or attach multiple bands to the ankle straps. The Quick Clip System allows you to attach unlimited number of bands at a given time. This is highly beneficial as anyone even a professional can get the highest resistance.

Door Anchor: The Bodylastics System has introduced the door anchors to their home gym system. The door anchor can be attached to any closing door by just placing the anchor over or under the door. When you close the door, the bands connect the anchor and the ankle straps using the quick clip system. This enables the user to recreate many exercises of the health club. Rather than using multiple equipment in the gym you can use just this system to get the results.

The best part of this System is its size, portability and cost. You can pack your whole home gym in a traveling bag and carry it anywhere around. A home gym system can cost up to thousand dollars and would come with heavy and bulky equipment. But the Bodylastics System costs only fifty dollars and comes in two packages. The Basic tension set and the Max tension set. The Basic package offers resistance between 5 to 18 lbs where as the Max tension set offers resistance more than 20 lbs.
