My partner and I like to work out together, with one person resting and spotting whilst the other pushes for the burn, the downside to this is he is a little stronger than me, ok he’s a lot stronger than me, and this means we end up switching out weights and changing the configuration of our equipment with every set. The Bodyblade classic is a one-size-fits-all piece of work-out apparatus that can be quickly passed between users without adjustment and if you are working out alone it is always ready to go, all you need to do it pick it up. The Classic is one of the Bodyblades available and measures up at 48 inches and weight 1.5lbs, the idea behind it is straightforward, it is simple to use and can be applied to a variety of exercises to target different muscle zones. The Bodyblade works by using rapid contraction technology (RCT) which automatically contracts your muscles up to 270 times a minute.

The harder you drive the blade back and forth (Flex Intensity), the greater the flex, and the more resistance you receive. It is impossible not to contract your muscles whilst using the blade and this kind of workout will help to provide an overall improvement of strength, balance and coordination. The Classic Kit comes with a workout DVD and a poster for quick reference and inspiration. The Bodyblade can help build muscle from as little as 15 minutes work a day, it is suitable for all strengths and abilities asthe resistance is equal to the force you put in, this means you can’t push your muscles further than they are capable of going. The main place I felt it was in my core, your body works hard to balance against the force, its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to store away between workouts and travel with you. I was sceptical at first about this product but found I could easily integrate it into familiar exercises to increase the workout, it is suitable for those looking to improve their muscle strength whether that’s to increase performance in swimming, cycling, rowing, gymnastics or running, or working alongside physiotherapy.
