Denise Austin's Powerbelt takes traditional walking and spices it up a bit to give you a full upper body workout.  Using the Powerbelt Walking System can help you burn up to 71% more calories then walking without one.  If you are not familiar with the Powerbelt, it is a similar concept to walking with hand weights.  Unlike hand weights, the key advantage that the Powerbelt has is that if you get tired you can set the resistance handles down and continue your walk or jog.  Another key advantage is that it does not put additional strain on the back and shoulders that hand weights have been known to do.

Product features for the Powerbelt Walking System

So what is the verdict on this thing?  Is it any good?

Most of the reviews that we have seen for the Powerbelt are very good.  Although some people have stated that they look a little silly when using it, the undoubtedly feel that the Powerbelt gives them a very good workout.  One of the strengths for the Powerbelt is that you can adjust the resistance level.  You can easily increase and or decrease your resistance during the workout to a level that is comfortable to you.  Another advantage is that if that if you get tired using it during your walk or jog, you simply just let go the handles.

What we also like about the Powerbelt is that it is backed by Denise Austin.  Denise is a household name in the fitness industry and has been putting out high quality videos and other products for over a decade now.  Bodytrends feels so confident that you will love the Powerbelt that they have included a 45 day money back guarantee with any purchase.  We feel this is a good product and one that is worth the purchase.
