Hi my name is Blake Kassel and I have been working out for the greater part of my life. In many ways exercise created who I am today. There is a certain confidence that can be created when you feel and look great. Due to my intense love for exercise I created this site so that travelers would realize that there are options when it comes to working out on the road. Just because you travel doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice your health.

Recently I was on a business trip and was all prepared to exercise in my room with my favorite set of elastic exercise bands. Of course I realized that I forgot my workout shorts (always works out like that). My wife who was doing some paper work in the background suggested that I just perform my workout in my boxer shorts. Well, that's exactly what I did. I got an incredible workout! The purpose of that story was not to promote boxer shorts for workout gear but rather to illustrate the fact that elastic exercise bands will give you the freedom to work your muscles almost anywhere ON YOUR OWN TERMS.

You still may be asking who is he and why should I listen to him? Well here is some information about me:

Why should you listen to me? Simply put, I have already tried it all. I had my first set of free weights when I was 13, a Soloflex when I was 15, and joined one of the first hard-core bodybuilding gyms in NYC (Madison Avenue Muscle) when I was 16.

I once tried to calculate all of the time that I had spent in the gym and collectively it worked out to several years!

You don't know how many times I wished that I had a pump up machine that I could use in my room, outside or even on the road. When I was in college (those were the days when I was competing in Bodybuilding) someone told me about these new great elastic tubes that I could use right in my room at the fraternity house.

There was one problem - they did not have enough resistance to challenge my muscles - and I WAS STRONG.

I spent a great deal of time designing Bodylastics travel exercise equipment. It will enable you to combine elastics so that you can create enough resistance for all muscle groups and exercises. When all four elastics are used at the same time it is the equivalent of a 45lb dumbbell or 90lb barbell. This 45lbs feels like 60 lbs though because you must actually perform the negative.

I have been preaching about elastic exercise bands for years, but let me tell you that I am preaching even harder now. I am 34 years old with a child and he needs my attention. There is the constant struggle for time to help myself. Elastic exercise bands are the solution! Contact me at anytime.

I truly live for your e-mails!
