The Gadget Man Gets Ripped with the Perfect Pushup Travel Edition

March 11, 2008

Sitting at a computer all day researching, writing, and messing with new gadgets does not do much for one’s physique (I know, hard to believe). Needless to say, The Gadget Man has felt in need of some way to get a ripped chest and some burly arms, especially with Summer approaching. So what better time than now to review a cool fitness device like the Perfect Pushup Travel Edition.

If you watch TV or read men’s magazines, chances are you have seen the Perfect Pushup. The Perfect Pushup Travel Edition, while a little more expensive, offers the convenience of a collapsible design and zippered, padded case for travel. It was featured in this article about travel fitness products: Travel Fitness Equipment – Exercise Products Designed To Help Busy Travelers Stay In Shape. People on vacation or businessmen who find themselves all over the country will find the ability to “stay ripped on the road” convenient, especially when the place they are staying does not have a fitness center or a respectable bar.

As far as the exercise itself, it feels great. I played sports all throughout my childhood and into college, and every coach used the pushup as a way of punishment. “You just lost the game you bunch of nancy-boys, gimme 50 pushups”. And why wouldn’t they? Though pushups are one of the oldest and most effective forms of exercise, they can be brutal on your wrists and arms. The Perfect Pushup Travel Edition elevates your hands so that your wrists are at a more comfortable, slightly bent position. The increased elevation of the perfect pushup handles let you lower yourself further down for a more effective workout of your chest, shoulders, back, and abs while the rotation of the handles enables you to work more muscle groups in your arms.

Here’s a picture of someone using the Perfect Pushup Travel Edition (no, it’s not me) and a diagram of how the exercise works.

So The Gadget Man has been using the Perfect Pushup Travel Edition for a few days now and I am already starting to feel a difference. In other words, I am sore as hell right now. But that will change, and soon The Gadget Man will be built like Superman. I highly recommend you check out the Perfect Pushup Travel Edition. It’s more money but well worth the price. You can find at the manufacturer’s website, but I got a better deal and get great service at http://www.activeforever.com

Until next time,

The Gadget Man
