Of course. Anybody who gets off their bum and works out with weight will get fit. Now if your talking mega muscle you'll probably need creatine (for energy) and protein drinks (to build muscle). But if you want to loose weight I suggest 30 minutes a day of walking and follow it up with lifting weight to tone you flab.

It works. And its dangerous. And its REALLY expensive.\n\nHere is something less risky AND free:\n\nEat less, exercise more.

Yes it works, but u have to do it regularly.  It has worked for me....starting to see some muscle tone and firmness...yay!!

Machines to me are uncomfortable because it restricts your movements.  When you first start working out they are good to learn the movement correctly but when you know how to do them free weights are the best cause they require you to balance yourself as you do the exercise.  So all machines except the smith and leg press machines feel uncomfortalbe to me.

Yup...it does work.But keep in mind that u have to drink alot of water and for optimal muscle gain , keep the portein intake high too.Also cretain is best absorbed by muscles when used in "cycles".\nThanks,\nColin.

Yes it is true\n\nYour body "gets used" to whatever exercise you do whether it be a step class or strenght trainig.\n\nIt is very easy to vary the patterns thought.  For example - instead of doing straight bicep curls break them into "3" - pauseing intentially on the way or do it will barbells as opposed to a bar - or go slow or fast.\n\nSimilarly with aerobic - if you run - inject high knees peridodically or run laterally or backwards\n\nPlay with frequency, itensity and duration

Yes it works. It makes you loose fat at certain parts an tighten them at the same time. But it's an expensive an painful process, and you still need to have a good diet for it to works.

That device is bull sh**.\nUse your brains, how can a machine be working and a human be losing fat.\nAnd if that machine worked then there would not be any gyms in the world. Instead of going to gyms, people would wear the belt all day and become fit.

My friend had one and i got a loan of it for afew weeks. instant results my rumpa. i  got nothing but lower back pain, which i never had before. and yes i did , read the instructions.  i find regular sit ups,witha flat pillow, tucked under the bum,  just as effective.  as  you can feel your own pace.

It works to a point, and it will only work on the muscle groups it's intended for.  There are no easy ways to loose weight fast.  Unless you want to tamper with your scales and make your mirrors convex.

I work in a clinic that has a DRX9000. I have also been treated using the DRX9000. My take on the DRX9000 is that it is a very good tool to help treat disc injuries. But, it is just a tool. These machines are becoming quite popular, and rightfully so. However, opening a clinic and buying the machine does not make you an expert at treating back pain. If you are a twenty something in good physical shape with no previous episodes of back pain and have a single disc herniation, then the DRX9000 will probably work great as the only treatment necessary. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case...at least in the patients I see. Most patients have had bad pain for months or years. These patients develop chronic muscle imbalances in the pelvis, sacro-illiac problems, and even secondary neck pain and stiffness. Our clinic integrates MD's, PTs, and DCs to treat these conditions in addition to the DRX machine. \n\nThe bottom line is that when used appropriately in combination with other appropriate treatments, the DRX9000 is very effective. I was treated for a disc herniation at C5. It has been two years since I was last treated and have had no return of symptoms. \n\nI think calling the DRX9000 glorified traction is a bit on the ignorant side, no offense to Mr Answers.  But, the problem with traction is that it actually causes an increase in interdiscal pressures.  This is because there is counter pressure from the muscles attaching to the spine to resist the traction forces being applied.  Look at the research, its there.  Because the DRX uses a logarithmic ramp up to acheive the maximum pulling force, the muscles do not contract to resist the force being applied.  Therefore, a true negative interdiscal pressure is attained at the level being treated.  I can tell you that I was very skeptical the first time I heard about the machine.  But like I said, when you iuse it in combination with other appropriate treatments, it is very effective.  We operate five clinics in the midwest, and have treated 35,000 patients in the last three years.  It works!

The best thing that everyone is raving about is stength training with work out bands.  Every workout goru is pumping up the resistance band in there dvds.  No lie it does work.  I've been using it for two months.  People saw the difference after two-three weeks.  Dvds are reallly cheap between $15-$25 dollars a pop.  The resistance bands are non expensive either..  You can get either dvids or the band at any departmetn store Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, Macy's, JCPenney, Sears or any athletic store.  You can tone up the body without emptying your wallet.  Good luck and be pursistant.

I have an elliptical.  It's fun, it works, and it gives a great workout.  I have one I got for around $800 from Dick' Sporting Goods online, so you aim for a nice one, but I wouldn't buy one without trying it out.  Go to your local Y and work out on one -- see if you like it.

I don't know that much about them but my roommate does have one. I started dieting in Jan this year and I worked out (First time excercising in a year)for an hour straight! I felt like I got a work out and I was all sweaty but I didn't feel anything after I was done! I would think for not working out in a year my legs would be sore or something! It's easy but I don't know how much it actually works!

I watched the Tyra Banks show, and she was talking about how all the models do it in bed..What they do, is lay on their backs, and put their legs up as high as possible... and do the scissors, the pretend bike riding... then you put your knees up high and squeeze up your buttocks, up as high and hold your booty up there as long and hard as possible. not only is this good for your buttocks, but your hips, & thighs, as well.. Then you can do any kind of exercise with those legs up in the air.. Just work them as long and hard as you can until you break out in a sweat, and then repeat this for a couple of nights! And girl you are going to see "RESULTS!!" Immediately!! I did, but I was hit by a car, and have alot of arthritis, and was in agony, after about 1 week, of these exercises! So , I had to take a break from doing it, but I will be going back to doing them, they are that effective, and quick results!! I promise you, you will be feeling the results the very next day!! You Just Go Girl!!! Smile!!!
