good arm work out 
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.
Miracle Worker!!! 2007-02-01
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.
Love it! Love it! Love it! 2006-10-08
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.
Great item! 2006-09-06
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.
PowerBelt Absolutely is the Best 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!!!!
Great Workout! 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!
Great 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.
denise austin power belt 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.
OK for walking outdoors but not on the treadmill! 
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.
