INSANITY: The Asylum Review | New Shaun T Available Now

shaun-t-insanity-asylum-dvdThe "most difficult workout program ever put on DVD" was not enough. Shaun T.'s INSANITY: The Asylum takes the madness to a new level.

The all new 30-day DVD workout program consists of a brutal series of routines designed to break through plateaus, build strength and reduce body fat by guiding you to extremes you never thought possible.

The Fitness Five

Five Questions with Nicole Moneer Guerrero

Each month Obsession Fitness features an exclusive five question interview with a leading fitness industry professional. This month we reached out to Nicole Moneer Guerrero for her world-class background as a fitness competitor, model and trainer.

Nicole Moneer Guerrero is a Top 5 nationally and Top 10 internationally ranked PRO fitness competitor and fitness/bikini model, as well as a skilled personal trainer and educator. She is an NASM personal trainer and an AFAA group exercise instructor for Life Time Fitness where she advises private clients and leads large group classes.

1. Obsession Fitness focuses on home gym equipment. Do you have a favorite type of exercise equipment?
Foam/Body Rolling, which is a type of stretching. I use Yamuna balls, Power-Systems Massage Bar and SPRI Foam Rollers. As a competitive athlete my body takes a beating and rolling helps to lengthen my muscles, improve circulation and relieve tightness. I do it with all my clients and everyone should incorporate it into their workouts as a warm-up or cool down.

Iron Gym Doorway Chin & Pull-Up Bar (No Screws)

Portable Total Upper Body Workout

Since the introduction of Tony Horton's P90X Extreme Home Fitness System, multifunction workout bars have seen skyrocketing sales. This product is a lower-priced alternative to the P90X Chin-Up/Pull-Up Bar commonly used with P90X.

After simple assembly the Iron Gym Total Upper Body Bar can be installed in standard doorways in just seconds. Using your body's own weight as leverage the bar mounts securely without the use of brackets, screws or fasteners.

INSANITY with Shaun T.

60-Day Full Body DVD Conditioning Program

With the highly anticipated release of Insanity with Shaun T., Beachbody may have a program that rivals P90X in popularity, intensity and results. P90X is a 90 day program (hence the name), while Insanity aims to put you in the best shape of your life in just 60 days. It's also differs in that it requires no weights, resistance bands or extra equipment.

Beachbody is touting this as perhaps the most difficult and effective workout program ever put on DVD. That may or may not be true, but if you're already in decent shape, mentally focused and ready to sweat, Insanity won't disappoint.

Product Spotlight - Bowflex SelectTech Dumbbells and Treadclimber

Redefining How We Perceive Home Fitness Equipment

Bowflex is one of the most popular and visible fitness companies, manufacturing a broad array of strength and cardiovascular exercise equipment, featuring leading edge, space saving designs. Owned by Nautilus Inc., who also produces equipment for Schwinn Exercise, Stairmaster and Pearl Izumi, Bowflex has grown into an industry giant with millions of new, satisfied home users annually.

This commentary will spotlight two very popular Bowflex products -- the SelectTech 552 Dumbbells and the Bowflex line of Treadclimbers.

The Bowflex SelectTech Dumbbells will change your concept and use of dumbbells forever. They combine up to 17 sets of weights into one unit using the patented SelectTech dial system. It's one of the most space saving and modifiable free weight systems ever created. Say goodbye to 17 individual dumbbells cluttering your exercise space. With a simple turn of a dial you can automatically change the weight on each dumbbell in 2.5 lb, 5 lb or 10 lb increments, depending on the model, enabling you to progressively increase your workout and strength.

The Bowflex SelectTech Dumbbells are available in three models -- SelectTech 220, SelectTech 552 (the most popular) and SelectTech 1090

Our second product, the Bowflex Treadclimber is manufactured in four primary models -- TC1000, TC3000, TC5000, and TC6000. These break through cardio machines allow you to walk normally as on a treadmill, but assimilate a natural step-like motion using two platforms that raise and lower separately. When you step down with one foot, the other platform inclines, creating the sensation of climbing a gradual hill. The Bowflex Treadclimber effectively provides the combined advantages of both a treadmill and a stair stepper.

At the bottom of the Bowflex Treadclimber spectrum, the TC1000 has a maximum walking speed of 3.8 mph (6.1 kph), while the most expensive model, the TC6000, can reach a top speed of 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). The TC3000 and TC5000 each clock in at a maximum of 4.0 mph (6.4 kph).

But horsepower is just one important aspect distinguishing each Bowflex Treadclimber model. The TC1000 starts with 3 basic functions -- Speed, Distance and Time. Stepping up, no pun intended, to the TC3000 model adds Calories per Minute, Total Calories and Total Steps. The TC5000 includes two added functions -- the Climb Indicator and the Heart Rate Monitor. At the top end of the series, the TC6000 incorporates all of the above plus distinctive exercise programs, including Cross Training, Intervals, Plateau, The Brooklyn Bridge and The Golden Gate Bridge. The Heart Rate Monitor on the TC5000 and TC 6000 incorporates a wireless chest strap and an integrated display showing heart rate at a glance for maintaining appropriate calorie burning levels.

In addition to our highlighted products, Bowflex dominates the home fitness niche with a diverse line of complete home gyms - the Bowflex Revolution, Bowflex Ultimate, Bowflex Ultimate 2, Bowflex Xtreme SE, Bowflex Xtreme SE 2 and Bowflex Blaze.

Bowflex continues to advance and innovate health and fitness products of high performance, effectiveness and affordability. They've had a powerful impact on the way we regard home cardiovascular and strength training exercise, becoming a seamless part of a healthy lifestyle for millions.
