Soloflex was established in 1978. Soloflex is a brand synonymous with quality, originality, beauty and fitness. Soloflex pioneered infomercial advertising on cable TV, forever etching the brand name into Americans minds. A survey done in 1992 indicated a brand recognition of 92%, the same as Bill Clinton’s that year. Alone, Soloflex created the home fitness industry and most of the direct-response marketing strategies still used today. Soloflex has always been family owned. Our products are built to last a lifetime, all made in America. Over one and a half million Soloflex exercise devices have been sold. Total sales to date are approximately $1 Billion. We have never had a recall.
Soloflex equipment has always met the demands of serious bodybuilders. Many home gyms on the market today have a poor reputation, lacking quality and durability. We never understood the wisdom of lifting heavy weights with flimsy equipment. The whole point of a weightlifting machine is safety.
The original Soloflex home gym.
The Soloflex machine has broad appeal because it makes weightlifting safe to do at home, alone. Not spotter is required while using the Soloflex. The Soloflex machine is weight plate adaptable for those who want to safely add free weights to the resistance straps. The machine allows proper form and range of motion on all exercises. The free floating barbell arm recreates the natural movement free weights offer which is important for proper form and balance. The Soloflex machine has been endorsed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Frank Zane (3 time Mr. Olympia), Nordine Zouareg (Mr. Universe), Gale Sayers (NFL running back), and Mitch Gaylord (Olympic gold medalist). The Soloflex Muscle Machine is priced from $1250 to $1550 + freight.
The Soloflex WBV Platform.
Our Whole Body Vibration Platform, unlike the others, was designed to exercise on. We have been in production with the WBV platform for approximately 6 years. We have sold over 75,000. One only need stand on the platform for short periods a few times a week to see improvements. After research at SUNY with funds provided by NIH, NASA and the U.S. Army, WBV has demonstrated its effectiveness for the treatment of osteoporosis, an alternative to drugs like Fosamax, (a $5 billion/yr market). WBV works as advertised. Ours is affordably priced for home use at $445 + freight.
Obama has challenged Americans to get up and move! He reportedly only missed one workout in the last 2 years. Now if he can manage to keep fit as a dad, a senator and while running for President of the United States…YOU have no excuses! He makes working out a priority by getting up early and doing 45 minutes of cardio one day and weightlifting one day, alternating.
He does it all!
Obama plays basketball….
Obama golfs….
Obama does pull ups!…..
Bowls?…….ok
Obama body surfs…
Obama pitches……
Obama rides his bike…..
The total amount spent on health care in US last year was $2.4 trillion, that’s $7,900 per person! In large part, this is the cost of our sedintary lifestyles and poor eating habits (and broken health care system). Anyone can come up with an excuse not to exercise. Soloflex wants you to stop making excuses and get to it. No one can afford remedial healthcare. Everyone can afford prevention.
First of all, what is serotonin? Serotonin is a chemical that helps relay signals from one area of the brain to another. Serotonin is manufactured in the brain. That’s where it performs it’s major function. However, 90% of our Serotonin is in the digestive tract and in the blood.
It is believed Serotonin influences a variety of mind and body functions. It affects brain cells related to mood, sexual desire and function, appetite, sleep, memory and learning, temperature regulation and some social behaviors. It affects the function of our heart and muscles.
There are ways to increase Serotonin levels: 1) A diet of whole grain carbs and low in protein (Inhibitors are whole wheat and rye bread
). 2) Acupuncture has been known to stimulate the release of Serotonin. 3) Fruits such as dates, papaya and bananas. 4) Prescription drugs.
However the very best way to raise Serotonin levels would be to get exercise. Studies have shown that Serotonin levels are raised with increased activity and it is increased for some days after the activity. This is the safest way of increasing Serotonin levels. Exercise affects the biology in the brain the same way anti-depression drugs do.
Researchers believe men and women may use Serotonin differently. Men and women react differently to a reduction. This may be why women suffer from depression more than men. Men become impulsive but not depressed. Women experience a marked drop in mood and become more cautious. This is a response common in depression.
Several research centers around the world noted a Serotonin deficiency in Alzheimer’s patients.
Increasing muscle is important in Serotonin levels. Muscles don’t use the amino acid needed to make Serotonin.
Instead of using drugs to fight depression, evidence reveals that exercise can be a natural route to treating mild depression. Patients can learn how to treat themselves without relying on prescription drugs.
Winter generally makes us all more depressed. A winter workout is very important. During our recent snow storms I increased my muscles building exercises just to keep me happier. And it worked!
