Men's Health Power Strip

With more and more people looking to get fit while making sure they stay in budget there has been a lot of products that have been introduced to the public. Some work and get the results they say you will get while there are other products that don't do anything but take your money from  you. One of the newest fades in exercise equipment is the over the door workout gym. The most popular one of the over the door gym is the Tower 200 however there is a lessor known one named the Power Bar by Men's Health. Today I will talk about the Power Bar giving you my opinion on it and giving you information on it to see if it is for you.

The Power Bar

To be honest with you I didn't know that this even existed until one day I was shopping at Target I was looking for an ice scrapper(mine broke), when I walked by an end cap and saw the Power Bar. I looked at the box to see what is to my surprise I read it was an over the door gym that was made by Men's Health. I have purchased Men's Health products before(I get them cheap I won't lie) for the most part I really like them and use them a lot they are all generally good products. After seeing the price of it $19.99 I figured it was worth a purchase if I like it than it was worth the price if I didn't like it than I saved you some money either way I thought it would be worth it. The Power Bar is one piece that wraps around your with velcro which makes it easy to attach to any door plus there are two wheels that make it easy for you to move it up and down the door with ease. It comes with two resistance bands, two handles, to leg straps, and it has four loops that way you can attach the the resistnace bands to use for different exercises.

What I like about it?

The Power Bar is nice for a couple of reasons the price is really reasonable $19.99, it is easy to use you just adjust the height of the power bar and you can do the exercise that you want to do. I like the fact it is really easy to move from door to door, it doesn't take up a lot of room which is a plus, and it is easily adjustable.

What I didn't like about it?

The downside of the Power Bar is it only comes with one set of resistance bands which causes problems because if you are new to training it could be too tough and if you have been doing training they will be too easy. If you want to use it for leg exercises you have to lower the power bar to the floor, then again if you want to do a chest exercises you have to raise it back up. If you don't have access to more resistance bands that can hook up to it then you are stuck using the same ones all the time which can stunt your progress. You can purchase more resistance bands however that adds to the overall price of the Power Bar.

Overall for the price of it I think the Power Bar is a good investment for someone looking to get fit, or to do a quick workout at home or on the road. I have been using it for just over a week so far I like it you can roughly do 30 exercises on it. at the same time it takes up very little space in the room. While it is similar to the Tower 200 it has some differences which I would look into before you decide which one you would like to purchase.
