I suspect at some time in our lives, we’ve all sat on our sofas eating pizza and gulping down sugary sodas to watch sporting events on the TV, dreaming of a day when we too could be as fit and lean as our favourite sportsmen. We make a decision at that time that in future we’re going to change our habits – maybe start with a little light exercise and revamp our diets, but come the full time whistle and upon switching off the TV, the dream bubble bursts.

I think most of us have tried some odd diets in our time; the Atkins diet, the cabbage soup diet, the grapefruit diet and even Slimfast – basically a milk shake; professed to “fill you up”, to be drunk twice a day, but ultimately leaving you feeling empty, tired and miserable - to name but a few and yes, I’ve been drawn into the trap from time to time too!

Now I understand how this Total Flex Gym works, and how to put it together. Seems to be a bit heavier, at least for the boy who was putting it together. Overall, it doesn't look too bad, and I'm considering to go for it...
