Everlast Home Gym

Everlast Home Gym

Everlast Home GymAfter having my baby, I couldn’t stand to look at myself in the mirror. I had gotten flabby in areas that didn’t look good in clothes and I just didn’t feel good about what I had become. So I looked online for a home gym that I could afford and that would actually work. It took me about two weeks for me to find something but it finally happened.

Sports Authority had the Everlast home gym for $99 with free shipping. Before I bought the Everlast Home Gym, I did my research and made sure it was the right buy for me. I figured since the Everlast Home Gym had 60 different exercises, why not get it? There had to be something I could get out of the Everlast home gym right?

When I recieved the Everlast home gym in the mail, I was totally excited to open the box and get started. I dreaded having to put it together but realized when I opened the box that it was already assembled!

The Everlast Home Gym came with six different accessories to work out with, along with a total home gym book and dvd. I was a bit overwhelmed with everything I was looking at in the beginning but once I got comfortable I was ready to go.

The thing I liked about the Everlast home gym is that it was portable and didn’t take up much room. It’s an all in one gym. So everything involves the gym and the gym only. The Everlast total gym is capable of working on every part of your body, there is an exercise for any goal you may have, which for $99 isn’t bad.

I personally have intentions on working on my stomach, legs and arms. But if you have the desire to work on your back, shoulders, or calves then you are more than able to do so with the Everlast Home Gym.

The Everlast Home Gym is more like a weight lifting system. It has an adjustable knob that allows you to choose the weight’s tension. It’s been about a month and I can already see results from using the Everlast Home Gym. My abs are becoming less flabby and my legs are becoming a lot tighter.

Since the Everlast Home Gym is a fairly new buy, I will have to keep a sharp eye on my results. But I …

The Darth Vader Chronicles - the Darth Workout

The Darth Vader Chronicles – the Darth Workout

The Darth Vader Chronicles - the Darth Workout

Darth Vader from Star Wars really had his things together. So much so, he made ”The Darth Workout.” The highlight of The Darth Workout is the one finger workout where Darth gives you the middle finger with one hand while he does a middle, one finger push-up with the other hand, coupled with the deep-belly evil chuckle that Dr. Evil from Austin Powers is all too familiar with.

Hoo-hahahaha, Hoo-hahahaha, Hoo-hahahaha.

Actually Darth has first rights to that evil chuckle. He was around while Dr. Evil was still a baby. Darth loves showing off, doesn’t he. Well c’mon people, it is pretty impressive. But then Darthy here is from the Dark side, so anything is possible.

Oh, and Darth has decided to add some more ”Darth and Dangerous” techniques to The Darth Workout, using his infamous middle finger all the way. I think it makes him feel better if he secretly gives you the salute, and that evil chuckle. There is the one finger break dancing, one finger chin-ups, one finger hand-stand, one finger bicep and triceps curls, and one finger shoulder press.

Darth has even opened up his own health and fitness center called Darth Fitness with the legendary Darth Workout.

Darth thought he could run the center himself, you know, with ”the power” thing and all, but he later realized he could not be everywhere at once, and believe me he was doing it and doing quite well, until, well, he called on some of his storm troopers, who you could not tell one from the other.

Darth is so popular at his own fitness center, and yes he loves it, because if he did not get that attention, well, he’d kill you with a one finger zap. He even wanted to do the aerobic classes as well. Darth gets a bit carried away at the aerobics classes. He’ll either perve behind his mask with ”Call on Me” by Eric Prydz playing in the background, chuckle to himself with that evil Dr. Evil chuckle, give a sneaky zap, or get in some unanswered middle one finger workouts.

Well, that’s Darth (class) for today, people.…
