This is a great addition to your home gym, in order to reduce the number of machines you have and really exercise anywhere. A great way to keep muscle toned, so that atrophy does not set in and shorten your life. Though it looks handy to carry when you travel, who really works out when they travel? When I do, I usually just use the hotel/resort gym.Word of warning: always check for stretch marks or tears, and throw away if you see any. Don't end up losing an eye like former Senator Minority Lead...
