Walking is one of the most popular, convenient and inexpensive ways to get and stay fit. I'm sure you know all the benefits of incorporating walking into your healthy lifestyle. Bottom line, it is safe and a fun way to get a great workout for your lower body.
What about your upper body? Your lower body is doing all the work and receiving all the benefits from a healthy stroll, but your arms and shoulders do nothing.
Hand weights are a popular addition to fitness walking, but they can cause strain on the arm, shoulder and back muscles. They are also an inconvenience. What do you do with hand weights if, in the middle of your walk, you get tired? Do you plan on taking the weights with you when traveling?
The solution is the Denise Austin Powerbelt walking system. It's an effective, safe, and easy to use product developed for and inspired by walking for fitness. Denise Austin, one of America's most recognized fitness experts, chose to endorse the Powerbelt over hundred's of other products for several reasons:
* Easy to Use - Out of the box and on to your walking routine.
* Effective - Burns up to 70% more calories than walking alone.
* Versatile - Use it for walking, jogging, aerobics, and much more.
* Safety - Smooth and safe resistance compared to hand weights.
You already devote the time to walk. Why not get the best results for your efforts? The Denise Austin Powerbelt is the ultimate solution to make your walk into a double duty exercise for your lower and upper body.
The result? A smaller waistline and strong, toned arms and shoulders. Burn more calories, tone your muscles, and lose weight quickly all at the same time with the Denise Austin PowerBelt walking system. The PowerBelt is easy to use: simply strap on the fully padded belt, grab the soft rubber handles, and go. The patented reels provide smooth resistance over the full range of your arm swing, thus delivering the calorie-burning power of a run without requiring you to change your pace. Using the PowerBelt can burn up to 71 percent more calories than regular walking, helping you flatten your belly, shrink your waistline, and tone your arms. Exclusive features include the ability to let go of the handles at any time for interval upper body training, four resistance levels, and the ability to fit waist sizes from 22 to 48 inches. The PowerBelt system, which weighs less than 2 pounds, is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

Started using the belt before ms. austin took it over. bought it with no case and only level 1 for $49.99. used it during summer walks on the beach. by far the easiest way to get a tan and a great workout. forget the stares people are just intrigued and perhaps envious.
waster of money
By A3DYH71XI0C4U0 on 2005-08-07
I purchased this with the hope of walking and toning. It is not a good "weight" The belt is not very big, and its uncomfortable. When your walking you have nowhere to put your water bottle. Def. a bad purchase for the price
Love it! Love it! Love it!

Need I say more!
I have gotten to the point where I can't use handweights because they actually cause pain in my bony little hands, and as we all know, you're not supposed to carry handweights when walking anyway.
The Powerbelt is absolutely terrific!
I used it for the first time today and had a blast.
You feel kind of silly with it on but one of the pluses is that it makes you aware of your midsection so you keep your abs taut.
I really enjoyed my walk today and will probably be purchasing the level 3 & 4 Powerpacks and possibly the workout DVD's.
One thing, though, I do think it's a bit overpriced.
But...it makes working out fun and speeds along results because you do get to work out your upper body while walking.
Warning !! S Wessens review looks like they are selling this product!!
By AVPG37UUSSKFB on 2006-06-06
The review by S Wessen looks like they are the ones manufacturing this product, and trying to sell this product while putting down another product? Hmm starching head & Wondering Why Dose someone have a need to write a review about a totally diffrent product? is the other product Better & Cheaper that they are afraid?
Why are there no other reviews by this person? Why isn't this review written by a Real name person ? LOOKS BOGUS TO ME!!.
If anyone needs to put down another product or person this makes me wonder about their own sincerity ?!.
Excellent!

I have been using the Denise Austin Powerbelt for about 2 months now and I think it is the most brilliant bit of kit. Anybody who enjoys walking and wants to get a full upper body workout at the same time would do well to purchase one of these belts. It is very comfortable and I find pack one perfectly adequate for toning. You have full range of motion so you can target every single muscle. It's fun to use and it makes people laugh to see you motoring along, arms akimbo! Who cares!? I feel fab!
- Miracle Worker!!!

I am a working mother of two with very little extra time on my hands, and the older I get the more I notice the dreaded *arm flab* on my upper arms. You know what I am talkin about, ladies!! I purchased this product because I can use it while taking walks with my family, or anytime I have a few minutes to go out and walk, and it has worked miracles on my arm flab!!! I have found nothing else that works better, especially for people who do not have a lot of time on their hands!!I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to tone up their arms and burn a few calories without the inconvenience of having to go to the gym! It arrived quickly, and exactly as described. My arm flab is gone and the rest of me has slimmed down in the process... I guess it really DOES help burn extra calories!!! I definitely give this product 5 stars.
- Great item!

I bought the 1st version of this belt from QVC when it was a Kathy Smith item. Back then you only got the one pound weights and had to buy the others separately. Since I didn't know if it would be a good product, I did not buy the heavier weights. I WISH I HAD! I love this darn thing, and trust me, it will work your arms. I only wish I could get the heavier weights, so that I could make this more intense, but Kathy Smith no longer sells this, and I can't find the weights separately. I would love to have 3 and 5 pound increments. Anyway, this is a great item, and you won't be sorry if you invest in it.
- OK for walking outdoors but not on the treadmill!
By A34F53ZE9Z5XDO on 2007-07-18
This works OK when walking outdoors (but it looks a bit strange to people passing you!) but when I used it while on the treadmill, I kept banging my hands into the arm rails. Not pleasant. Also, the waist band is bulky and uncomfortable. I went back to using hand weights.
- good arm work out
By A3R1Z9F2BBEH3Z on 2007-06-15
I have been using my power belt for about 2 weeks now, couldn't believe the burn in my arms I was getting from the 1lb weights, this is an excellent idea. I use to carry hand weights and was always looking for someone to hand them off to when my arms got tired, now the handles just zip back into the belt, hands free. I feel like a super hero!
A little pricey but a good workout for your arms.
- Great deal and Great Price!!!

I was very happy with every aspect of their product, great descriptions, good promotions and sales, and friendly customer service. I wrote to the site to thank them - something I rarely do because I expect good service - but they went above and beyond. They wrote me back quickly thanking me for the letter and my order and telling me that every order is treated as special and they welcomed my business again.
They will get it. Not only do they have a huge variety of items, many of which I am interested in, but they have fair prices, good sales, and great, friendly customer service.
I am going with a rare 5 stars for this company. There is very little to complain about especially when everything went so smoothly before, during, and after the transaction.
- denise austin power belt
By A15O20W9VAFVPI on 2007-10-05
the denise austin power belt really adds resistance to my walk. it's like cross country skiing. i would recommend it for any walker who wants to add upper body work to their routine.
- Great
By AKYZ2D4LBO3VM on 2008-01-29
I purchased this item to use with Leslie Sansone's Walk away the pounds for the ab. The belt is very effective in my opinion. It comes with interchangeable weights up to about 4 lbs and I wish the manufacture would make additional weights for it.
I would recommend this item, especially if you do indoor walking.
- Great Workout!
By A1EXITN0797ZMC on 2008-03-20
I am not an outside walker so my treadmill is my exercise program. I didn't like using my weights while on the treadmill. When I found this piece of equipment I just had to try it. This Powerbelt system is exactely what I needed. It makes exercising the upper part of my body while on the treadmill much easier. If I get a little tired I can just let the cables go. It's a great piece of exercise equipment and I would highly recommend it!
- PowerBelt Absolutely is the Best
By A1V8O3QWJX4DOD on 2008-05-18
I bought the PowerBelt for my wife because she walks every morning with her friends. She's always complaining that she's not able to work her upper body (arms, shoulders, back, etc...). This product does this and more. You can do tons of exercises and repeitions and it really gives you a work out. We also bought the 3 and 4 lb resistant discs.
Great Product!!!!
- Perfect for jogging and to use when travelling.
By AC0UQ39YJSYW3 on 2005-08-29
I read about the Powerbelt in Health Magazine and decided to give it a try. I have to say that I was quite surprised!
When I first put on the belt and started pulling the handles, I said to my wife..."this thing is way to easy and I can't see how it will do anything for me." But when I went out for my normal jog, half way through my arms were definitely feeling the burn, in a good way. I had to stop using it before my arms fell off, j/k, but the nice thing about it is you can let go of the handles and it snaps back into the belt, so I could continue finishing my jog. I can see that being a nice benefit not only for wimps like me, but also walkers who use hand weights and get tired. Can't just get rid of the hand weights half way through your walk, well, I guess you can if you have the money :)
Anyway, I have built up to using it for a 5 mile jog and am loving it. I also packed it for a business trip I took last week. It is so small that I just packed it in with my laptop briefcase. It came in handy because the hotel I stayed at had closed down its gym facilities due to a leak after a big rain storm.
Bottom line: it's a nice product that's easy to use and well worth the small investment.
