As Seen on TV Exercise Equipment – Overview:
Another day…another equipment review. The piece of equipment, I decided to look at today is the Weider Crossbow home gym machine. This is one of those home gym machines that I’m sure you see advertised on TV as it is fairly popular. This machine provides a variation on the bow flex system which uses resistance to work your muscles as opposed to a free-weight Type system.

Weider Crossbow
This piece of home gym fitness equipment, boasts a wide range of exercises available to its users. Based on its design is supposed to have a wide degree of versatility, providing consumers with the ability to work all of their major muscle groups. This is a huge bonus for a home gym machine, because it allows you to work all of the needed areas with a single piece of equipment. This is a huge benefit because of the time saving it provides you with, and because of the economy of scale you realize by only having to buy one piece of home exercise fitness equipment to meet your workout needs.
As part of my research on this piece of equipment I went out on the Internet and looked at a couple of exercise equipment review websites. Here is what one of them had to say:
Working out on the Weider cross bar ensures full range of motion, a key element in building a healthy body. The Compound Resistance System (CRS) of the crossbar uses a series of pulleys, swivels, cables, and cams to provide a mechanically induced maximum resistance of 440 pounds suitable for even professional athletes and bodybuilders. The weights on the pulley can be easily adjusted. The resin padded bench offer comfort during the workout. The rowing facility combines a muscle building workout with aerobics training.
The Crossbow requires an investment of just 20 minutes for a full body workout, the metabolic effects of which can last for the entire day. Some of the exercises possible through the Weider crossbow include the Shoulder press, Triceps kickback, Hammer curl, Chest press, Chest fly, Incline fly, Straight arm pullover, Lat pull down, Bent over row, Hip extension, Abs crunch, Leg press, Squat, and Calf raises.

As Seen on TV Exercise Equipment – Turin’s Review:
This is one of those pieces of equipment that is so versatile that it has a broad application for many different consumers. It appeals to me for a couple of different reasons, the primary one being that with this single piece of equipment I could work out all of my major and minor muscle groups in a fairly short amount of time. Additionally, because of the varied nature of the types of exercises the equipment provides this home gym machine would provide me with a great deal of variety. Since it is very easy for me to get bored with workout routines this diversity is what I need.
As this is one piece of equipment that I would like to add to my personal exercise inventory I would be interested to hear about your experiences with it. Cheers and good luck on your exercise goals!
