The TBow Exercise
Many people have asked me what a T-Bow is. My answer is that a T-Bow is a wolf in sheep's clothing; a home exercise device that looks like nothing you've ever seen before. All it appears to be is a piece of strong plastic in the shape of a small humpback bridge. It is bright orange and has a blue mat on the curved side. Believe it or not, this T-Bow is the only piece of home exercise kit that you will ever need! The only extras you will need are some inexpensive elastic exercise bands and perhaps some hand weights, to vary your exercise routine. Not only can the T-Bow be used for cardio-type exercises, improving heart and lung function and aiding in weight loss, it is also perfect for strength exercises which are an essential part of any full-body exercise routine, helping to build lean muscle and burn more calories even when you are not exercising.
The T-Bow can be used in several ways, meaning that it can give you a varied work out and you are less likely to get bored. All you need to do to get started is lift the T-Bow up by the easy-to-carry edge and lay it down on the floor. It does not even need a mat to stand on, carpet is perfect. When the curved side is facing up, the T-Bow will not move when you stand on it, giving you confidence and allowing you to do step workouts. Step is very good for weight loss and fat burning, and you can do step even if you are out of condition, a mature adult, or even quite overweight, as the T-Bow is very strong. Just by stepping you will tone the fronts and backs of your thighs, the harder to get at area inside the thigh and also your calf and butt muscles.
The second way of using the T-Bow is to turn it over, curved side down. Stepping on the T-Bow now and placing your feet on the edges in the foot grips (make sure you turn your knees out) means that the T-bone will rock. Just standing this way challenges your balance and works all your deep stomach and back muscles. Rocking from side to side works your leg muscles in different ways and can be quite challenging when you first start -- after just a few minutes your legs will feel as if you have been running for an hour! This is concentrated exercise and burns calories very quickly. You are never more than a few inches off the floor and can step off safely at any time if you lose your balance. Best of all, it's fun!
Most pieces of home exercise equipment only do one part of a workout, be it cardio or toning. With the T-Bow you can move seamlessly from cardio to strength training just by attaching elastic exercise bands to the sides of the T-Bow; these bands are included with the full T-Bow kit. Using the bands for resistance you can work all your major upper and lower body muscles, toning problem areas like butt, thighs and the backs of your arms. Ladies, do not worry that you will build big, bulky muscles; this is not going to happen! What you will build is toned, lean muscle that burns calories all day, not just when you are exercising.
Once your cardio and toning workout on the T-Bow has been done, you can move seamlessly to floor level and use the amazing T-Bow for Pilates-based exercises. Experts have proved that is doing Pilates regularly shapes and strengthens your body from the inside out, improving your posture and your balance, mobilising stiff joints and strengthening the spine. And I know of no better method than Pilates for flattening the problem area of the lower stomach, that seems to bulge no matter what you do! All workouts should ideally finish with a couple of minutes stretching all the major muscle groups to lengthen and relax them. All your stretches can be done using the T-Bow, and this is a perfect way to end an exercise session. - 17274
