Strength Training Key to Longevity

If you had to think of the single best example of what the epitome is of exercise as a way to longevity, it would have to be Jack LaLanne. I can’t recall why, but his name came up in a conversation not too long ago, and I was taken aback by the fact that the man is still alive and kicking… at 95! And Jack isn’t just surviving, he looks as vital as when he was a young whipper snapper in his 70s. So what’s the secret? There may not be one simple answer. To most people in the last few decades o

This study was published in the September issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.This study also found that physically active persons between 70 to 85 years not only were less likely to die, but also had increased function and less loneliness. In addition, the physically active considered themselves to be more h

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Supportive, but a little slippery
I am using these with teh P90X program. They are good for the push up portion. I have pretty sensitive hands and they hurt a little since the cushioning isn’t very thick, but I expected that. They will slip on Hardwood floors, but I just put them on a Yoga mat and they work just fine.

5 Stars Great bars, great value
Great pushup bars at a reasonable price. They function as advertised. Although made of plastic, they feel supporting and are easy to grip.

4 Stars Not amazing but great for the price.
These are sorta crappy but work well and are great for the price. Perfect for someone under $140 lbs. If you’re a bigger person I would suggest and upgrade.

4 Stars Great & inexpensive
This is a great product for the price. They are simple and easy to use and work just as well as the fancier push-up gizmos.

4 Stars Light, study and good value for the $
I was happy with this purchase. I have only had them for about 2 weeks now, so I can’t comment on their longevity. These bars are made of plastic, but there is no issue with stability. I am 6′1″ and 185 lbs and these bars work great for me. They can be dis-assembled and packed for travel, if need be. I believe doing push-ups this way is much better than palms on the floor. This is a good product for the price, IMO.
