The Isobow is a constant companion for my office exercise breaks, it energizes me for more productive cognitive work. I have used isometric exercise for the past 43 years . Hands down I can say this tops them all especially because of the use of ISO-motion. Sure , you can substitute ropes or bands to try to duplicate ISO- bow. I tried doing this with $ 50 exercise bands but they fell short of the feel and the functionality i was looking for . All the great reviews are made by people sticking to the facts who discovered that the manufacturer/ designer claims are no hype! I exercise with the bullworker and of course that will continue to be part of my routine. But if all I had was the Isobow as a stand alone exerciser, then it stands out bar none.Dec 17 update:Despite our hectic Christmas rush, the Isobow's portability delivers big time. My wife's shoulder is improving, and my biceps injury is healing fast. Imagine the money we would have spent if we went through professional therapy! What can I say, do yourself a favor, get yourself an Isobow and bring along your gym anytime, anywhere.Nov 2023 Update:Its been five years running that my wife and I use our Isobows most mornings in our office before work. When you think about it the Iso Bow has a small footprint that you can do micro workouts or fullworkouts wherever and whenever. I use other bullworker products having 2 Steel Bows. an Iso flow and 2 Bullworker X5's but my wife uses the Isobow exclusively and has benefitted from the increased strength that it gives her when she plays Badminton. I am 63 years old as of this writing and she is 61. 48 years of using Isometric exercise has validated for me the value of having my Isobow for quick Isos or stretching.

I started out back in the late 70s with an original bull worker and used for a few years as a teenager. I then eventually went to free weights using them for many years and then to resistance training machines in my home as I’ve gotten older the free weights weren’t what I needed. I needed a more safe efficient and injury free way of exercising. I then purchased an Isokinator , which I used for a few years and it eventually broke and instead of spending several hundred dollars on trying to get a new one I Purchased these iso bow straps I was reluctant at first thinking that how can the straps give me the work out that I need and I was surprised from day one these little non-stretchable straps will give you a complete workout, injury free, and the portability to go anywhere and still give you the workout that you need

I've developed a sincere appreciation for isometrics in the past couple of years especially in regards to injury recovery. The own the entire Bullworker line and have used these products to very positive effect. With regards to the ISO-BOW, I have one in most rooms of my house and frequently pick one up to do a couple of stretching and strengthening exercises. The range of exercises is limited only by your imagination and many examples of good exercises are illustrated in the accompanying literature. I'm now at the point where I buy these and give them away as gifts.

A pair of straps which I use one at a time. Solidly built straps with two comfortable handles for putting my hands in at almost any angle while working my upper body. Would be easy to pack and take anywhere. For me, the overall length of the strap is just right. Would highly recommend.

I’ve had mine for a couple days and I can already say it’s a must have for strength and conditioning, or if you are doing any recovery, rehab exercises.

With a little instruction (comes with a great instruction booklet), a beginner can begin strengthening muscles and gaining strength. It's easy to handle, easy to care for, and can be used anywhere. At home, sitting, standing, on a plane, and can so easily be transported so that you needn't give up exercising just because you're away from home or travelling. Put it in your purse, your pocket, your suitcase.Strongly recommend it for older age bracket when you cannot make it to the gym. Very innovative product!

It was clearly stated I was to receive 2 ISO Bow straps however I received only 1 also the manual was missing. Being that I took the used option the box was so heavily taped up the only way to open it was to destroy the box. Guess getting 40 percent of your order is better than not getting it at all
