DO you find weight training boring? The Inspire BL1 Body Lift Home Gym uses your own body weight as resistance, breaking the norm of stacking weight plates for traditiona­l weight resistance training.

Body weight resistance training significan­tly impacts your metabolism, causing your body to continuous­ly burn calories hours after completing a workout.

Apart from strengthen­ing muscles, it also improves stamina and bone density, maintains flexibilit­y and balance as well as promotes fatfree body mass.

The Australian physical activity and sedentary behaviour guidelines recommend that adults carry out muscle-strengthen­ing activities at least two days each week.

The Inspire BL1 Body Lift Home Gym is one of the most innovative and user-friendly home gyms in the market.

It is adjustable from 10% to 150% of your total body weight using a one-handed slide.

The adjustable seat and back rest enables you to customise the gym to your body size, resulting in a more personalis­ed and effective workout.

The BL1 gym is a unique leverage system that operates by utilising the user’s body weight without the use of guide rods and weight plates.

As a result, this multi-gym offers a smooth and quiet home gym system, which occupies little space at home.

There are 15 different resistance positions, each of which equates to 10% of the user’s body weight.

Therefore, for a man who weights 100kg, the BL1 gym can be easily adjusted anywhere from 10kg to 150kg.

On top of that, the BL1 gym features multiple exercise capabiliti­es.

Perform incline chest press by adjusting the back pad to the furthest position to enable pectoral fly and press dumbbell exercises to help improve coordinati­on in the upper body.

Other workouts include chest supported rows/lateral pull downs, triceps push downs, attach the revolving curl bar for bicep curls and upright rows to target the shoulder muscles as well as leg extension and leg curl exercises for the quadriceps and hamstrings.

Before doing any resistance trainings, warm up with light exercise (such as walking, cycling or rowing) for about five minutes and a few stretches.

The Inspire BL1 Body Lift Home Gym is the ideal total body workout machine to strengthen weak spots and craft the physique you have always wanted at the comfort of your own home. It is offered at RM5,500 or RM229.17 a month.
