The new year is upon us and now is the time to get back in shape. You’re probably thinking about starting a new diet or exercise plan, and you’re definitely considering what different kinds of equipment you might be interested in.

One new fitness fad is something that is being called a door gym. What this devices is, it is a series of resistance bands, that is attached to the door. On either end of the bands you can attach handles or straps to do exercises with.

These new types of equipment are very cost effective and offer an interesting alternative to the much larger and bulkier home fitness systems that many people grew up with. It might not reproduce everything you can get in the gym, but it does offer something different.

Weider, a well-known fitness company has introduced their own product. They call it the X-Factor. The Weider X-Factor is a very interesting product, because it is very similar to other products, while keeping costs down and fitness performance high.

The setup process is incredibly simple. You just clip the door to the resistance bands via the corner clips, and now your home gym system is ready to go. Instead of spending hours setting up a traditional home gym system this only takes minutes. Also, the whole system can fit in your gym bag. Good luck trying to do that with a Bow flex.

The Weider X-Factor also comes with a series of fitness DVDs that you can use to help you get started with the system. There are three different DVDs, and they focus on completely different areas. If you rotated them in your weekly workouts, you probably get in shape fairly quickly.

Pricing might be an issue for some people, but the system actually isn’t nearly as expensive as it could be. At only around $100. This is something that almost anyone can afford, and when you compare that to bow flex type system. The price difference is dramatic.

If you’re interested in the home gym system the Weider X-Factor is something you should strongly consider because when you combine the price and the features and the capabilities. It is extremely competitive, and can save your whole lot of money.
