BaseBlock
by Vicky Waite
While I was googling something I accidentally came across the BaseBlocks Trainer. It popped up to my liking! It’s a full body calisthenics workout. It helps to build muscle strength and endurance.
I purchased it and within days it arrived and set up was within seconds. No external fixtures required. The BaseBlocks Trainer is assembled with two clicks. That’s it! And my husband Bill loved it since it came while he was watching the Eagles NFL draft on television, so he didn’t miss a thing. What’s there not to like?
I was amazed how well built and sturdy BaseBlocks was. And, it has adjustable handstand canes. The BaseBlocks Trainer lets you train like a gymnast and build full-body strength with over 50 body weight exercises for your upper body, lower body, and core. It’s a 3-level training system which helps you progress from beginner to advanced exercises. And it’s important you go through the process and not jump to advanced, so your body gradually adjusts.
Made sturdy with wood and chrome plated steel the unit is made to last. I anxiously get right into it. The BaseBlocks Trainer allows me to perform pushing, pulling, core and leg exercises using only my bodyweight. I am performing exercises like sit-ups and push-ups at the lowest height, and rows and dips at the tallest height. There are many workouts you can do on it. Great for those glutes! Let’s face it or in this case let’s butt it: you don’t get the butt you want by sitting on it!
The design uses multi-directional instability to make the exercise harder. You minimize the movements by firing your stabilizer muscles. Basically, I am, and you will perform workouts that combine strength and stability by scaling the intensity based on your current strength level and you can unlock the advance exercises as you get stronger.
I love the instability factor which gets your nervous system going and improves your balance, strength, and control. The BaseBlocks Trainer is great for training functional strength too. Definitely great for promoting posture and core strength. There are just so many ways to use this. Great addition to any full body, bodyweight workout. The slight movement when using it only adds to the challenge of learning body control.
This piece of equipment really does the trick in working and engaging a wide variety of muscle groups. You can very well become quite fit and strong by using the BaseBlocks Trainer, especially if you add weights or resistance bands. I mention this for the advanced only. The weights are not necessary. The easy-to-follow workouts use only your body weight to build strength and mobility. It’s patent pending design has adjustable weights allowing you to change the leverage and difficulty based on your fitness level.
The BaseBlocks Trainer’s program categorizes exercises as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3. Everyone starts as a beginner. You hit a target number of repetitions on specific exercises to level up. This approach of unlocking exercises makes the BaseBlocks Trainer suitable for all fitness levels by making you perform exercises respective to your fitness level.
I am a fan of calisthenics, so this is right up my alley. And it’s a great challenge for your endurance balance and a great addition to muscle building. The BaseBlocks Trainer adjusts to nine different heights allowing you to modify the leverage and scale the exercise intensity based on your strength level, and the online workouts provide you with how to progress from basic to advanced exercises as your strength improves.
The demo videos online are so well done and made for all fitness levels. You can’t go wrong with this calisthenic workout that you can take along just about anywhere. It nicely folds down and stores away easily. Like I said, what’s there not to like?
Just a little something to keep in mind: Excuses don’t kill the fat, exercises do. For more information visit www.baseblockstrainer.com. And as with any other exercise program always consult your physician before beginning.
