The Turbulence Training workout makes a pretty bold claim.

They claim that a man or woman can lose lots of fat even if you don’t have a lot of time to workout in the gym. This is a pretty big claim to live up to seeing that they also say you can get results like this in just 3 workouts every week.

These kind of gain muscle and fat loss are a dime a dozen.

The question is, can these claims be verified?

I’ve been hearing everybody rant and rave about Turbulence Training, people I really respected. So I thought I’d do a little analysis of the program myself and see what all the fuss was about. I figured I’d save my opinion for after my review.

Before we continue on with this Turbulence Training review, I’d like to take a further inspection at the so called guru behind this entire fitness program. I thought this so called fitness expert was nobody special until I realized Craig Ballantyne was not only a best selling author but he’s contributed to Men’s Health Magazine, Men’s Fitness Magazine, Oxygen Magazine and Shape Magazine.

Looks like I was wrong and Craig Ballantyne really does know what he’s talking about.

Having been working out since 1996 it’s kind of hard for me to trust what these guys say, unless I can really scope out what they’re saying and test the information myself.
About two weeks ago I was able to squeeze some information out of Craig Ballantyne about his formal training in the fitness industry and other things. I hate to admit it but I was actually slightly impressed as Craig’s expertise goes back to the middle of the 90′s for fitness training but also as a researcher for large companies doing research trials on bodybuilding supplements, muscle building and cardiovascular workouts and their effects on human physiology.

After closer examination it turns out that since 1994 Craig has trained well into the hundreds of personal training clients and conducted over a thousand training sessions. Seems that the years of personal training and teaching has show him a thing or two of what works in the gym and what doesn’t.

If you look into any article that Craig Ballantyne has written, you’ll find upon further inspection that Craig is really tough on conventional aerobic and cardiovascular workouts that are popular these days. All that to say that if you want some quick new cardio workout you can do each week then Turbulence Training is not for you. This is why I wanted to put together this Turbulence Training review so I could weed out the serious people from the people who want a quick fix. Turbulence Training is more for people who have access to limited workout equipment like a flat bench, a set of dumbells or an exercise ball and some serious motivation to change their body. If that’s you, I think you’re going to like Turbulence Training by Craig Ballantyne.

People have been sending me emails asking what Turbulence Training really is. After having studied and critiqued Turbulence Training I’ve discovered it’s a nice combination of resistence training along with heavy amounts of interval training that works surprisingly well to raise your metabolism that allows your body to burn fat when you’re not working out in the gym. It’s a pretty interesting concept. Here’s a further assessment from Craig Ballantyne himself: “Cardio doesn’t boost your metabolism after exercise. Only strength training and interval training do that – while you work, sleep, and eat – your body will be shedding fat.”

The thing I really enjoy about Turbulence Training is that all the workouts and training can be done at home. Currently I don’t have a home gym setup (still working on that one) but for those that do, Turbulence Training is perfect. For those guys and gals who are strong and fit, I recommend getting a chin up bar though. I have a love/hate relationship with my local gym and sometimes enjoy long workouts. I know it’s much more benefitial to have short and intense workouts. Turbulence Training has been kicking my butt lately in terms of getting in, doing work, and getting out and not messing around.

Last week I’ve recommended Turbulence Training to 2 guys who I see all the time at the gym.

I see them training for hours and hours, and they’re not even that fit to begin with. After working all day, communiting to work, running errands, spending time with your wife, husband or kids, you don’t have another sixty to ninety minutes to spend working out. If that’s you, you have to suspend judgement and evaluate this program yourself. Learn more about how Turbulence Training just might be the perfect workout program for your busy schedule.

I will say though in this Turbulence Training review that this workout program is not going to make you bulk up and get huge. If you’re interested in stacking on tons of muscle, I’d recommend no nonsense muscle building, muscle gain truth or muscle gaining secrets as these bodybuilding programs will help you gain more size. But most guys don’t want to put on 50lbs of muscle. Turbulence Training will help you shed fat (especially around your midsection), get lean and ripped. Picture an athletic and muscular swimmer or boxer. They’re not huge but they definitely have some size and are lean. Turbulence Training will help you get defined, and chiseled.

The other thing to note is that a lot of crappy bodybuilding routines I’ve seen over the years (since 1996) are freaking boring. Turbulence Training is not only fun but it’s more challenging that I expected. I like a good challenge. You won’t be doing the same bodybuilding routines week in and week out. The unique exercises include some pretty dynamic bodyweight exercises that improve functional muscle strength and ab strength without needing to drop $300 dollars on workout gear.

The two guys I recommended Turbulence Training to started using the 6 week beginner workout program and so far they love it. It also has a 4 week intermediate training program. Since I’ve been working out since 1996 I started out using his 16 week advanced training phase. Big mistake on my part. I learned quickly the difference between having big muscles and functional strength. I actually had to drop down to the intermediate program because I was too sore for the advance program. I don’t even like to admit there.

One of the other points I’d like to mention about Turbulence Training in this particular synopsis, is that there’s a massive number of free bonus workout routines for muscle building (bodyweight only), advanced fat loss sections as well as bonus for females.

I’d also like to mention in this Turbulence Training review is that the reason why I had such a hard time with his advanced series (even though I felt like I was ready for it) was that each workout phase builds on the section before it. He built the system that way after years of working with hundreds of clients. Other training programs will having you so sore you can’t walk for 5 days or you’ll leave the gym puking in the parking lot. Men’s Health expert, Craig Ballantyne is smarter than that. He knows that only physical results matter.

 

Here’s Some Of What’s Included In Turbulence Training

 

  • A contract: I really liked this. It’s basically a pledge and written promise between you and yourself indicating your true and total commitment to the system.
  • The Turbulence Training ebook: The heart of the entire program. Watch your preconviced notions about health and fitness be shattered on every page.
  • Nutrition Guidelines: A powerful report written by expert nutritionist Dr. Chris Mohr, Ph.D.
    Q&A Section: All your final questions will be answered.
  • A 21 Day Eating Plan: Build healthy dietary habits that will help you gain momentum towards building the body you deserve.

The Turbulence Training Workouts: You get the beginner, intermediate and advanced routines.
Another point to note in this Turbulence Training review, is that it comes with an MP3 course Craig Ballantyne explains in great detail the entire program as well as every single exercise and how it affects the body. It’s kinda like sitting down one on one with Craig where he goes over what exercises you should do and why. And each exercise is explained in ever greater detail with photos and captions so you are guaranteed not to mess up during your workout sessions.

Here’s what Turbulence Training isn’t….

  • Mind numbing cardio workouts
  • A machine-based workout system
  • A bodybuilding program designed to get huge
  • A workout routine that wastes your time with silly isolation exercises
  • A diet plan that is extremely restrictive.

 

You won’t find any of the above in Turbulence Training. I’m glad you’re reading my Turbulence Training review because some guys actually want a routine that includes the above points.

The Turbulence Training workout system is for busy men and women who really want to become the best they can be on a physical level. The program will help you build muscle and shed fat but not look bulky and weird all without a gym membership (assuming you have a few pieces of equipment at home). Personally I like going to the gym so it still works out for me.

The other thing is that the workouts are pretty fun and challenging. I mean no workout is actually “fun” but you know what I mean. You’ll actually enjoy working out instead of dreading it. That’s about as fun as it gets right?

If you’re interested in one of the best workout routines on the market today I would strongly suggest you take a look at Turbulence Training and see how it might work for you. What I was impressed with was the quality of training, the uniqueness of the routines, the exclusive bonuses, the guarantee, the customer support as well as the community once you join I thought these were great. I was highly impressed. I have to say Craig Ballantyne has turned a non believer into a believer. And remember,

Turbulence Training is sold through the Clickbank Marketplace and Craig has been kind enough to offer an 8 week no questions asked 100% full money back guarantee. He recently told me the refund rate is not even 1% so that means customer satisfaction of Turbulence Training is sky high. But the refund is there in case your dog ate your wallet and you can’t make rent.

6 Ways To Lose Love Handles Fast When You Don’t Have Time

By

Do you know what they call those excess fat and bulge located at the sides of your belly?

It’s called love handles. I’m sure you would agree with me that you’re one of those that want to lose love handles fast.

It seems as though in our culture today many individuals are dealing with flabby or excess skin hanging around their bodies. Why is this happening? It’s happening because we are slowly becoming more and more domesticated.

We are not living natural lifestyles. It’s not natural to sit all day behind a computer screen and type on a keyboard.

Just about everything we do in our daily lives is unnatural.
This is causing humans to begin looking unnatural in many respects.
Tipping the scales at 400 lbs (only being 6 feet tall) with a 58 inch waist, a protruding beer belly and diabetes, man boobs etc, this is unnatural for man.

God never created us to live lives like we’re living. It’s time to get primal. Get back to our undomesticated wild roots as a species.

Okay enough of my rant, back to some good compound exercise material.

Now, there are a lot of popularized exercises that target these areas in isolation. However, the big problem is not a lot of them work. That’s mostly because spot reduction isn’t working. And unfortunately for most of us, even if the belly is the first part to put on weight when we have excess calories, it tends to be the last part that loses it when you try to cut down on your food consumption.

Why is this so?

Well the body in its infinite wisdom will store fat in the most benign places. These are places where it would cause the least amount of harm and damage to the body. If you simply added all that weight to your upper chest for example, you’d suffocate because your lungs would collapse or you’d have a heart attack and need a triple bypass surgery to get back to living again. Your body doesn’t want coronary heart disease so it stores the fat in places that won’t hinder its survival, unless you are a glutton and keep on eating yourself to death.

In order to lose that gut, I’ll have to admit that it will take some time and dedication. You can’t expect to lose pounds of fat in a few days, most of all in places that are least likely to disappear. As long as you stay focused anything can happen, not only physically but in other areas of your life as well.

However, we do have some tips to offer in order to help you deal with it.

Cut down on Bad Fat intake

This is the primary cause of all weight problems.

We eat too much trans fatty acids like margarine, fake butter, canola oils etc. However, don’t just eliminate everything altogether. Eliminate first those food rich in rancid fats. These are high in calories which will be converted into stored fat. Sticking to this tip alone will get you a few pounds lighter.
Remember though healthy fats like nuts, avocados, cold pressed olive oils, salmon are healthy oils.

Eat Less Carbs and Nightly Meals

Not all carbs are bad. You should get rid of those carbs that are simple sugars. They spike up the insulin levels in your body which promotes fat storage. This is the last thing you want if you want to lose weight. So try to think twice when reaching for that doughnut.

Fried carbohydrates creates free radicals and oxidized your internal organs especially your arteries. If you won’t want heart disease or suffer a heart attack, don’t eat grainy carbohydrates.

Drink Lots of Water

Be sure to drink enough water, ideally 8-10 glass every day. Avoid drinking drinks that are filled with sugar and calories. Some of them include sports drinks.
If you can find fresh spring water at the source get that. You can locate springs online here.
Water is very detoxifying to the internal organs of your body, your blood system. It’s what your body is fueled by.

Exercise

Exercise is vital to any weight loss program. Make exercise a part of your daily protein, even if it takes only a few minutes on some days. Doing even 5 minutes of exercise per day will be enough for you to notice some changes in the next few days.
Make sure to be physically active as much as you can.

Take the stairs when going up into buildings or at the shopping mall. Don’t use the escalators.

Supplements

Even if you can lose weight through diet and exercise, you can speed up the process with supplements. A lot of people rely on supplements because it saves them more time. Don’t overdo it though, if done without the proper supervision of physicians, it may lead to a few side effects.

I suggest taking digestive enzymes with your meals. They typically contain, protease (for protein), amalyse (for starchy carbohydrates), and lipase (for lipids or fats). Also take hydrochloric acid supplements (HCL) at 650 mg dosage per pill.
This will help increase your stomach acid in order to start breaking food down properly in your stomach before it passes into your large intestine.

Hoola-hoop

Yep, they’re not just for kids. They don’t cost much and they add some more fun in your day.
If you want to get rid of those love handles, be sure to follow these few tips. If you want more, then take some time to watch the video below of Craig Ballantyne. It shows you how to burn fat which will most likely help you lose love handles fast.

This exercise is fun and it also helps to develop your midsection by toning and firming the muscles in that area up. It has to do with the gyration action of moving your hips from side to side. Similar to belly dancing.

Man Breasts – How To Get Rid Of Them for GOOD!

By

Do you have man breasts?

If you do, I’m sure you’ll find it hard to take off your shirt in public places. And I’ll bet that’s one of the reasons why you’re here, reading this article. If you are, please continue.

If you’re embarrassed about this condition please keep reading.

Man breasts are mainly caused by two things: hormonal imbalance in the tissues and excess fat. Though hormonal imbalance may be strongly tied up with your genetic makeup, we may have a solution if it’s caused by excess fat.

If it that doesn’t work, then there is always surgery. Although it may sound scary, the procedure is quite safe and it is no more serious or out of the ordinary as a woman’s breast surgery. And yes, women get breast reduction surgery too.

You’d need to get in touch with a good plastic surgeon and request a breast consultation, and stop NOT being a man by thinking the term is unmanly. It’s not. Unsightly man boobs however are unmanly. So suck it up and make a consultation if nothing else has worked.

I’d like to touch on a couple things in relation to hormone levels in the male body. Your hormones are the master switches for youth. Hormones are why we age. They’re associated with erections in men, hair loss in men, the ability to lose fat and build muscle, sleep cycles (this is why a growing teenager can sleep for 14 hours with out getting up once in the night), the ability to heal and prevent diseases. In essence hormones are everything in terms of health, wellness and getting the ripped body we all want.

Your hormones are mostly controlled by your thyroid gland. Now we must ask ourselves a few questions in terms of this gland. What is the main mineral associated with this gland? What does the thyroid run on? The essential mineral it runs off of is iodine, which along with magnesium are two of the most essential minerals to sustain life and they are the most lacking in the population today.

Get on an iodine supplement, like lugols, ioderal or nacent and stop eating foods with bromide in them (a chemical that steals iodine from your thyroid gland – namely any white flour product).

In the mean time get on a workout program that is physical and will really help develop strength and muscle tone in the pectoral region of the chest.

Below are some tips for you to consider if you really want to get rid of those man boobs.

Cardiovascular Training

The first thing you should do is engage in cardiovascular training. Doing cardio, (biking, treadmill, or even running) can burn the excess fat that has been stored in your body. Not only does it take fat from the gut but generally it takes fat from every where in your body though not in the same ratio. Some people lose fat in the gut first, some in the arms. Your genes have a lot more to say in this regard.

In general people store fat on their bodies in the least harmful places for survival. If we stored fat on top of our chest first, we’d have a collapse lung or heart attack. In its infinite wisdom, the body stores this fat on the butt, legs, hips, thighs, stomach or arms as a first resort.

Once those areas are all used up the body then stores this fat on the chest. So for men this turns into some flabby looking bitch tits.

Eat Healthy

Eat foods that will help burn fat. Switch to low fat dairy and whole grains like brown rice. Eat plenty of leafy vegetables like lettuce and spinach; eat also carrots and tomatoes. If you eat fat, eat healthy fats from fish and nuts. Steer clear from sweets and simple sugars. These foods are quick be converted into energy.

Carbohydrates from grains or wheat in any form should be avoided, not only to avoid getting man boobs but they’re a quick recipe for clogged arteries which always results in heart disease or heart attacks.

Strength Training

Strength training is a great way to tone muscles around your chest so that it will help burn breast fat. Train your muscles at least twice a week by doing inclined pushups, doing four sets of eight reps. If you would like it more to lift weights, then do incline and decline bench presses with dumbbells or barbells. With weights, do the same number of sets and repetitions. If you find it hard to finish the last set, then you’re using enough weight. If not, then add more weight.

You really want to stretch and tear into that muscle fiber in your chest as you’re doing these exercises. You should feel lots of pain and a burn that makes you want to give up and quit.

This is a good thing. This is what you want. If you’re store tomorrow, then you’ve done the right thing.
If you want more tips in getting into shape, feel free to watch this video below as Craig Ballantyne shares a few more tips in gaining muscle and losing fat, which is one sure fire way of getting rid of your man breasts.

Eat Stop Eat Review 2018- Does it (Really) Work ?

By

In this current quick paced world, everyone is on the way to get in shape at any expense. This has led to a number of people lets to go in for fast arrangements and easy routes which don’t advantage them in any capacity. Truth be told, alternate ways can be risky to a man’s well being.

In the event that you are attempting to get more fit, recall that, pretty much as weight addition happened more than a time of time, weight reduction additionally requires significant investment. One such recent way out is the Eat Stop Eat program designed by Brad Pilon. Read on to know more about this weight losing program.

Overview

Eat Stop Eat is basically an e-book written by Brad Pilon where he gives importance to fasting as the best way of losing weight. The author here tries to justify his idea of weight loss without damaging any muscle.

He has written this book according to his own experience and knowledge about weight loss and nutrition. It is clear from the book that he is trying to abolish the traditional beliefs associated with the different types of weight loss methods. He has replaced all the traditional methods with new innovative ways of fasting.

The very title of the book reflects the content of the eBook. You can eat once then stop and then eat again instead of following the age old process of meal planning. Generally such process includes consuming a particular type of food carrying a specific amount of calorie. This book mainly focuses on two things-fasting and regular weight training practice. So, it’s clear now that fasting is the main issue that has been discussed in this book.

One day of fasting leads to getting rid of all toxic substances along with boosting up the metabolism of the entire body.

As a result your body will be cleaned and you will have a well maintained physic after losing quite an impressive amount of weight. Initially fasting for an entire day will be hard but you will become accustomed to it after few days of practice. The best thing about this program is that it is easy to handle and safe to use mainly for those people who cannot help eating their favorite dish.

You can easily have access to all your favorite foods during the period you fast and still gain the desired outcome. Another benefit of this plan is that there is no need of signing up for those, wrong weight loss programs with lots of side effects. This plan is safe as you will be depending mainly on the exercise plan that you are suggested to follow in order to lose any muscle weight while going through a training program.

This program is the outcome of long research is the proof of the fact that it is safe. The formula of intermittent fasting is used by the writer for a number of purposes. During your workout time a huge amount of fat is used for getting additional energy and at the same time you keep yourself away from the additional calories. There will be a consistent amount of fat los leading to weight loss.

 

How it works?

This program is equally demanding and interesting. You will be able to notice ample changes in your weight just after following the Eat Stop Eat program for one week. The best thing about this program is that there will be no muscle mass loss in the quest of weight loss. As the author was a researcher so he has travelled the world extensively and used the best of practices in his book. Nowhere in the book the author will appear forcing you to follow the processes described rather has he just recommended.

Even prior to your starting following the program, the way he describes things seems that the information is not mere hearsay, but are proper results of scientific research. The theory of 24 hours of fasting includes some insulin enzymes as well as hormones that have a general effect and this will eventually lead to muscle growth and low calorie intake.

The author advises to finish reading the entire book before starting its use. The process of intermittent fasting is extremely beneficial. This has been proved from the huge number of positive responses received worldwide after the launch of this program. The process of intermittent fasting described in this program is beneficial in a number of ways and helps you to:

  • Get thinner from your muscle to fat quotients
  • Diminish aggravation
  • Enhance metabolic profile
  • Enhanced insulin affectability
  • Diminished requirement for fanatical impulsive eating

The mix of caloric confinement with resistance activities has been ended up being extremely viable at safeguarding your bulk. Men who are suing low calorie weight control plans for years do see a decreased testosterone level. This is a piece of the motivation behind why excessively prohibitive weight control plans fall flat. Testosterone levels are really most elevated amid the Morning after an overnight quick.

The way that discontinuous fasting does not diminish testosterone is vital for two reasons. Firstly, it is an essential stride in keeping any loss of bulk, and also testosterone assumes a vital part in fat misfortune. Another “anabolic” hormone that really has intense fat misfortune impacts is Growth Hormone – also called GH.

What is intermittent fasting all about?

To put it in simple sentence the definition of fasting is skipping food and sometimes even drinks too willingly for a pre decided time period. So, the main word in this definition is ‘willing’ as this is what makes the difference between starving and fasting.
Another important thing is pre decided period of time. This means you are the sole controller of the time till when you will continue your fasting. Once it is over you can again resume your normal eating pattern. This is exactly the process used by the author in this book.

 

However, while in intermittent fasting one can consume the foods like:

  • Black coffee
  • Water
  • Black tea
  • Green tea and herbal tea
  • Sparkling water
  • Diet soda
  • Any drink with 0 calorie

Irregular fasting is the style of eating where you perform a transient quick, trailed by a time of eating, trailed by all the more fasting. The author has pointed out that, 24 hours is the most reasonable from of irregular fasting with the end goal of losing muscle to fat ratio ratios while keeping up incline muscle.

 

Pros of the Program

The success of the entire Eat Stop Eat program is the greatest benefit of this book apart from the sound information. Another benefits is that just after a few days of use you will lose a good amount of weight but still you will be eating all your favorite and without any weight loss supplements with lots of side effects. This book is an instant hit in the market just after its release as it shoves away the traditional ways of weight loss. The way the author explains the ways of weight loss in this 212 page book is extremely fascinating. The program is also short enough for your easy understanding and use.

Cons of the Program

Like any other weight loss programs there some demerits too. However, they are all very minute and not so serious side effects. Initially some may find it difficult as it contains some scientific researches and terms. This will gradually become easy as you move ahead with the program. Some even reported of minute grammatical errors in the book which is however, not a very serious issue though the author is highly educated.

Final verdict

It is an extremely foolish decision to embrace any other harmful weight loss supplement when you have the Eat Stop Eat program with you. If you want to look fabulous yet eat all your favorite foods then switch to program today.

Stamina Body Trac Glider 1050 Rowing Machine Review

By

We Review the Stamina Body Trac Glider 1050 Rowing Machine…

The Stamina Body Trac Glider 1050 Rowing Machine is the original, although now there is also the 1060 which is basically the same machine. Both are known for both their simplicity and their  effectiveness, two qualities that go great together when it comes to exercise and aerobic technology. This is quite obviously due to the fact that users enjoy all the conveniences they can get during their workout. An exercise regime need not be complicated or aggravating to provide favorable results.

Features: It’s All in the Details

Both the simplicity and effectiveness of the Stamina Body Trac Glider can be seen in the features. Having a size of 5.825 x 4.250 x 1.812 inches in dimension, this rowing machine is quite easy to use in any environment. The sturdy frame, having a heavy metal construction, ensures stability while in use, and the cylindrical pull-arms offer a genuine rowing experience with their smooth sweeping movements.

In addition, this model has a design allowing 12 different levels of resistance, so beginning users can start low and gradually work their way up to the high setting. You can adjust the resistance of the the ball-bearing roller system any time you feel like changing it. A computerized monitor that shows stroke count accumulation, exercise time and the number of calories burned ensures a regulated workout for everyone.
If you’re curious (or in a hurry):

✅ This specific rowing machine is the most popular with our readers.

 

The counter has a 6-second delay, but once it kicks in, it’s set and keeps up with the user’s speed.

Overall, the Stamina Body Trac Glider is very comfortable with a nicely padded seat to avoid a lot of pain after hours of sitting in one place. Who said one cannot feel at ease while exercising? That’s the way it is supposed to be.

Finally, one thing can never be overstated regarding this model, and that relates to its compactness and ability to fold up the rowing machine and store it away in the smallest of spaces. The Trac Glider 1050’s light weight also means that it is quite portable, so users can take it anywhere—into the garage, on vacation, to the beach, to the park, or even out back by the pool on those warm sunny days of summer.

One thing that is safe to say is that the ‘pros’ definitely outweigh the ‘cons’ when it comes to this rowing machine. The typical Stamina Body Trac Glider review describes this as an excellent model and very satisfying for several reasons. The first and most important is that it provides an effective workout. This is because it exercises all the muscle groups including the back, legs, arms and stomach, but also strengthens the cardiovascular system and increases metabolism as well. Using the rower an hour a day will also help build muscle quickly enhancing muscle density.

Aside from the compactness and portability of the Trac Glider 1050, other obvious benefits include ease of assembly and low-cost. The simple-to-follow instructions mean that users dispense with the aggravation associated with complicated assembly. Putting together the Stamina 1050 is easy and most pieces are already assembled when you remove it from the box. To top it off, the regular price falls in the ‘under $250’ range even as low as $125.00. This makes is one of the best values in a quality rowing machine.

The are a few minor drawbacks but they are worthy of sharing. Some users, even those who gave high marks for the machine’s performance, have pointed out that the foot braces are not the best. They said the Velcro straps occasionally slip off which can be bothersome when exercising.

Another noteworthy pitfall is the fact that the machine appears to accommodate only certain sized bodies. Those users of small stature will find it a strain to reach the foot braces, while heavier users tend to struggle, especially since their weight applies extreme pressure on the frame. True, some users have limitations; those having an average build, however, find the rowing machine to perform quite nicely.

In Conclusion…

In the end, the decision to buy this particular model depends on the individual and that person’s physical build, health needs and personal preferences. Each Stamina Body Trac Glider 1050 rowing machine review indicates that as long as the machine fits your body type you should be very happy with it. Most owners are satisfied with their purchase of this rowing machine so you may want to put it on your short list.
