If you’ve never done any exercises using this unique piece of equipment, you’re missing out. Even the simplest exercise becomes more dynamic and challenging when you doing it with a slosh tube.

Even a basic bicep curl becomes more difficult because your muscles are engaged in a more comprehensive way than with a regular dumbbell. T...

This treadmill workout plan mimics a bell curve; it starts out nice and easy at a fairly low intensity before progressively working up to a challenging peak, and then gradually dropping back down to a less demanding level.

How to do the Fitness Blender 100 Rep workout:      The way that you do this challenging routine will depend on your own fitness level.

If your schedule doesn’t allow for that many separate exercise sessions, you can also do the 100 Rep Boot Camp in sets of 2; do 2 rounds of 25 repetitions so that you have twice dai...

There are hundreds of pieces of equipment out there that supply some kind of weight for you to lift including dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, medicine balls, and many more. However, all of these forms of weight have one thing in common; they are all dead weight. What is dead weight? Dead weight is just that: dead. It doesn’t move, change shape, or shift its center of gravity. That is why slosh tube training, or a workout using slosh pipe exercises, is so unique. Check out our free, full length 28 Minute Workout Video using a slosh pipe A slosh tube is a tube capped on each end and filled only partially full of water. The water is what gives the tube the weight and is the part that makes the equipment challenging- because it is not completely full the water is allowed to flow through the tube in whichever direction gravity takes it. This does not sound that impressive until you realize that when holding a slosh tube, even a slight dip of one end causes the water to rush to tha...
