The Burn Machine
These are not your grandfather’s hand weights. With unique 360degree rotational grips, the Burn Machine takes stress off of your wrists and strengthens the core muscle group critical to keeping the body strong and balanced.
Five of the seven models come with a patented center sliding Asymmetrical Counterweight that can be positioned either to the right, left or middle on the center bar.
This shifts your center of gravity, forces your core muscles to compensate and works out targeted muscles for greater impact in less time. There are at least 20 basic exercises that can be performed, including a deadlift, a bench press, an overhead triceps extension and a prone bench press. 15 minutes a day is all it takes.
Retail Price: $139 – $299 www.theburnmachine.com 800-380-6527
