WorkOut 180 is a versatile exercise device that allows the user to do aerobics, strength, and balance exercises. (NOTE: As of November 2018, this device is not available on Amazon.com. However, it is listed on www.FitnessDepot.ca.)
|
How It Works:
|
The platform sits inside a stable steel frame. It can be used for step-aerobics, or for doing crunches. For balance training, the curved side of the platform is placed directly on the ground. The frame itself can be used for push-ups.
|
Ideal For:
|
Anyone, particularly those who are looking for a highly versatile exercise device for home use.
|
Why It's Cool:
|
Both the platform and the support frame can be used in multiple ways. For example, the support frame can be flipped over and used for push-ups. The main platform has attachments for resistance bands that provide 7 levels of resistance. The company claims you can do over 75 exercises with this one device!
