Don't worry, there aren't any weider 5000 parts available.
Note: This is a review, click here to visit the Weider 5000 site.I LOVE THIS, but I give Weider 0 stars for not including a DVD or even a workout chart with even 25% of the exercises you can do on this thing. I had to go to the Total Gym website and copy images into a word document (http://www.totalgym.com/learn/exercises.html). It is not easy to find without using this link. You can find some here too (http://www.efisportsmedicine.com/home/education/exercise-library). I will make my own manual from the pics. I might even order some of their DVDS and accessories. Perhaps this is what Weider expects people to do and is why the machine costs a fraction of the Total Gym. I paid under 90.00 for mine with 15% off Dickssportinggoods on line. Also, the directions are terrible. Ironically, once you figure it all out, you realize it is common sense, but before then, it is a bit confusing. Some other people had the same problem I had, those knobs! Do not bother putting on the handle and foot rest first. Do screw on the stabilizing foot. From there, pull/hold the long knob out and raise the unit slowly like you would an ironing board. Be careful not to get your fingers caught. The short knob allows you to extend the unit horizontally. It is tricky to do if you are doing it alone. You have to pull the knob and pull the bottom part of the unit (where the foot rest goes) out. I hope this saves some other people time and confusion! The Good: I really works! It is sturdy, fun to use, and can accommodate so many types of exercises. You will find yourself making up a few. While I have a gym membership, I love being able to go into the next room and jump on this thing for a few minutes, which is all I can do at this stage. I do not feel as if I am "lifting" anything incorrectly. Let me tell you, every time I am on this thing, I find myself saying. "OH Sh…" because I am just amazed at how well/hard it is working me.
The Weider 5000 is on sale now at Amazon – Click Here for Lowest Price!The unit is large and quite heavy, something that some people complain about. Basically, the weight and size allows me to trust the sturdiness more. As for storage, just take off the handle bars and foot rest, lower the thing and push it under the bed, futon, couch, whatever if you want it out of sight. I highly rec. this product. Anyone who is out of shape for, has injuries, and/or is older will definitely appreciate the high result / low impact workouts. This is not to say it is not for everyone else too. Once again, you will have to go to the Total Gym or EFI websites to learn about the many benefits of this type of workout. Like many have said, you are not going to be a body champion solely using this, but you will certainly loose weight and build/tone muscle mass in your WHOLE body. For legs though, you will have to get creative and/or always use the extra cords provided. Hare are a couple. Sit on the unit with feet flat on the floor, and push up with your butt until you are in a squat position. Do reps and/or hold. To work calves, raise heels off the floor. This thing does not have bells and whistles, but it is still fun, user friendly, convenient, inexpensive, sturdy, and a great alternative to a much more expensive brand. It would be nice if Weider upgraded this every few years. I can see myself always having one of these types of home gyms. Happy New Year and good working out!
Check out the lowest price on the Weider 5000 at Amazon – Click Here.
I am a fairly large guy at 6'2" 218 lbs and this thing really works me out! I am use to working out with free weights so I was skeptical that it would do enough for me. But I was severely wrong. Of course it still lacks on the benching aspect (which was to be expected), it makes up for it with the other chest exercises that can be done. It is a really well constructed piece of equipment. It is sturdy enough to handle someone like me and larger. Overall it is a great machine and it allows me to get a great workout at home. And for the money, you can't beat it!

'Hurt Locker"s Bigelow in UK best director win
LONDON Kathryn Bigelow has taken the best-director prize at the British Academy Film Awards for the Iraq war drama "The Hurt Locker."
Bigelow beat nominees that included her former husband, "Avatar" director James Cameron.
"The Hurt Locker" has also won prizes for original screenplay, cinematography, editing and sound. "Avatar" picked up awards for production design and visual effects.
"Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker" both went into Sunday's awards with nominations in eight categories, including best picture.
The awards, known as BAFTAs, are considered an important indicator of likely Oscar success.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
LONDON (AP) - Intense war drama "The Hurt Locker" and blockbuster sci-fi spectacle "Avatar" squared off Sunday at the British Academy Film Awards - a curtain raiser for their Academy Awards battle in Los Angeles next month.
British coming-of-age drama "An Education" was also a favorite for the London prizes, attended by a mix of homegrown celebrity and Hollywood imports.
"The Hurt Locker" took first honors in the contest, winning prizes for cinematography, editing and sound. "Avatar" picked up the award for visual effects.
"Avatar," "An Education" and "The Hurt Locker" all went into the awards with nominations in eight categories, including best picture. "Avatar" director James Cameron and "Hurt Locker" director Kathryn Bigelow, former spouses turned awards-season rivals, are competing for best director.
The two directors, who were married from 1989 to 1991, are also going head to head at the March 7 Oscars, where their films have nine nominations apiece.
Austrian actor Christoph Waltz, already a hot Oscar favorite, won the supporting actor prize for his turn as a chilling, charming Nazi colonel in "Inglourious Basterds." The supporting actress award went to Mo'nique for "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire."
Director Duncan Jones took the award for best British debut for his lost-in-space drama "Moon."
A tearful Jones, whose father is musician David Bowie, said it had taken him a long time to figure out what he wanted to do with his life.
"Finally, I think I've found what I love doing," he said.
Earlier, Kate Winslet, Colin Firth, Audrey Tautou, Quentin Tarantino, Vanessa Redgrave and "Twilight" stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart all walked the red carpet before the ceremony at London's Royal Opera House, with Prince William on hand to add real royalty to showbiz aristocracy.
The prince, wearing a traditional Saville Row suit, received huge cheers and stopped to chat with waiting fans and have his picture snapped outside the opera house.
William was announced as the new president of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, which presents the awards - a role once held by his grandfather, Prince Philip.
In his acceptance speech, William joked that his predecessor, Richard Attenborough "warned me to keep this brief, otherwise Mickey Rourke might wrestle me off the stage" - a reference to the actor's best-actor victory last year with "The Wrestler."

The first time I did FoS I literally crapped my pants in awesome. Not only did they put in a Jame Brown boss (huge fan), they put in soul music. And when I first heard that Devourer of Souls intro, I almost screamed (in vent) cause I thought it was so cool. In terms of sounds and music, I think FoS is one of the strongest instances I've ever experienced.

Broncos name Del Rio interim head coach
Englewood, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - The Denver Broncos have named defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio interim head coach while John Fox is out.
The Broncos announced the move Monday morning with Fox expected to miss several weeks as he recovers from an aortic heart valve replacement.
Fox was taken by ambulance to a Charlotte, N.C.-area hospital Saturday after complaining of lightheadedness during a golf outing. He had surgery Monday and is in recovery.
"Our main concern is the well-being of John Fox and getting him healthy," Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway said.
Denver has gotten off to a 7-1 start in 2013 and currently sits second in the AFC West standings.
Del Rio spent nine years as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2003-11. He went 68-71 at the helm in Jacksonville (2003-2011), but the team failed to post a winning record in each of his last four seasons.
Del Rio, who joined the Broncos in 2012, will also continue his role as the team's defensive coordinator.
"I've been a head coach and a (defensive) playcaller before. The way we're situated now, that's the best way to go forward," Del Rio said.
The Broncos, who are coming off a bye, play at San Diego on Sunday.

Egyptian court upholds Muslim Brotherhood ban
CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood failed in an attempt on Wednesday to overturn a court ruling banning it, the state news agency said, another blow to the debilitated Islamist movement.
A court in September had outlawed the Brotherhood after the army overthrew President Mohamed Mursi in July following mass protests against his rule.
The case against his Brotherhood was brought by a lawyer from the leftist Tagammu party, which cited the need to protect Egyptians from violence.
It accompanied a campaign by security forces to crush the movement in which hundreds of its members have been killed, thousands arrested, and its leaders, including Mursi, put on trial.
Wednesday's decision was another political blow to the group as it would compromise its participation in any new elections.
"In its scheduled session today, the Cairo Urgent Cases court dismissed an appeal raised by the Muslim Brotherhood to stop the execution of the previous order banning the activities of the group," state news agency MENA reported.
Defense lawyer Faisal el-Sayyed, a Brotherhood member, said he would appeal the ruling.
"We will appeal again and again until we banish this law," he told Reuters.
"Unfortunately we are working in a time when there is little respect for the law. But we still have a hint of hope in the law and that we can overcome this legally."
Since Mursi's overthrow, state media has lionized the military and police for the crackdown and his supporters frequently protest in the streets.
The military-installed government has promised new elections next year which foreign governments say must include all political factions to mark a credible return to democracy.
The court ruling indicated the Brotherhood was likely to be excluded.
The Brotherhood has also refused to take part in the transition, saying it would legitimize what they consider a coup. The army says it was responding to the will of the people.
Mursi, Egypt's first freely elected president, faces charges of inciting violence. His trial began on Monday and was adjourned by a judge to early January.
Political analyst Omar Ashour said the ban was an "eradication policy".
"This is just about making sure that the (Muslim) Brothers don't get a significant percentage in any institutions like the parliament," he told Reuters.
"But it's a return to the days of (deposed president) Hosni Mubarak where the Brothers would run as independents and probably face reprisals against them, but continue to challenge them."
Ashour said a legal ban on the organization would make it easier for the government to target members who may plan to run as independents in the upcoming elections.
The Brotherhood had won every national election since Mubarak was toppled in a 2011 uprising. They won a fifth of seats in parliamentary elections in 2005 when they ran as independents.
(Editing by Yara Bayoumy and Angus MacSwan)
The Egyptian people who rose on Jan 25th 2011 and on June 30, 2013 reiterated what the revolution started for: Freedom, Justice and Economic Improvement. None of them revolted because they felt Islam is getting defeated in the land of the infidel. The MB and its operatives tried to turn this into an Islamic (sham) cause so the drooling masses that the MB believe exist would support them no matter what.
Turns out the Egyptian people are much smarter than that and the Egyptian Army did what is expected of it in an environment where there is not impeachment process.
If BanglaFirst is interested in a civil war, he should study Egypt's 7000 years history and tell us how often have the Egyptians gotten involved in a civil war. And would this war be between what sides? It's only the bloodthirsty anarchists who just want to destroy rather than build.
We want people who would bear in mind and action 1) the integrity of the Egyptian state and protect its borders against all dangers, 2) the integrity of a great nation with all its believers regardless of their religious beliefs and coexist in a civil nation that respects the rights of its citizens and provides a framework for everyone to thrive and feel that their rights are protected. 3) respect for human life and dignity of each individual: man woman and child.
The use of religion as a fascade for conning mass populations is evil and continues to fool the downtrodden but thank Goodness for the intelligence of the Egyptian people over the ages proved they are smart enough to realize their errors, learn from their mistakes and build a civil society state where the focus is on equal rights, respect of others and the law and economic prosperity.
These are aspects that the majority of Egyptians enjoyed during Mubarak's rule and what Egyptians rose up against 1) corruption, 2) the idea of handing over power to Mubarak's son and 3) the violence of the security apparatus. All of these items still exist and all administrations should work hard to make improvements in all these areas.
But none of that should cause any berserk political group say a civil war is the only way to 'cleanse' and how can you cleanse when you have proven yourself to be evil, criminal and deceitful.
A civil Egypt will rise and prosper. All religion sham artists should find another location for their hell on earth. They have created one in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria and many other locations. Stay away from Egypt.
We call on the current administration to respect laws, avoid violence, respect the dignity of all Egyptians, protect lives and achieve what the revolution asked for: Freedom, Justice and Economic Improvement.
And to all spread peace and unity, don't destroy lives, property or the unity of Egypt.

The World/Inferno Friendship Society can best be described as a gang rather than an actual band. The group is a rotating cabaret of punk/ska/gospel featuring horns, piano, punk rock guitar, a number of percussionists, and a mayhem-inducing live presence. The Brooklyn, NY, collective started in the late '90s and has seen over 30 members move through their ranks. Usually you can expect to see about nine or ten members on-stage when they perform. The World/Inferno Friendship Society released their debut CD, The True Story of the Bridgewater Astral League, on the New Jersey-based indie Gern Blandsten in 1997. They followed that with The East Coast Super Sound Punk of Today! (which featured the typically arch track "All of California and Everyone Who Lives There Stinks") and April 2002's Just the Best Party (featuring another WIFS classic, "I Wouldn't Want to Live in a World Without Grudges"). The live album Hallowmas Live at Northsix appeared in August 2003. Three years later, the group returned with the EP Speak of Brave Men in January and the full-length Red-Eyed Soul that July, the latter marking their debut on Chunksaah. ~ Erik Hage, Rovi

Tuesday saw the first meeting of a new House-Senate panel charged with oversight of Minnesota's publicly funded sports facilities. That includes the $975 million, downtown Minneapolis football stadium with an October groundbreaking and a hoped-for 2016 opening.
But members of the panel raised concerns about shortfalls so far in tax revenue from an electronic gambling expansion. Rep. Jim Davnie of Minneapolis says lawmakers need to know before they adjourn in May whether the funding setup needs major adjustments.
The chairwoman of the state's stadium authority says costs so far are being covered with a $50 million initial payment from the Vikings.

Alex Clare puts eclectic twist on soul music
Rex Features
It no doubt helps to have a sense of humour when your interviewer, who has just asked you the minute before about the importance of your faith in dealing with the pressures of your pop music career, then wonders what your ideal Christmas present would be.
"Well, I'm Jewish, so..." says Alex Clare with (thank God) a laugh. "But I like a good book; that would be great. If you could recommend something to me, I'd be happy with that."
It is early December, and Clare is calling from Philadelphia. He is catching up with the press he was meant to do the day before in Toronto before his bus driver turned out to have a minor misdemeanour offense on his driving license. That hiccup kept him and his band stuck at the US-Canada border for four hours before a replacement was found.
The 27-year-old Londoner is on the road promoting his debut album, The Lateness of the Hour, and while touring North America in the winter has its challenges (Clare cites "hydration and sleep" as the keys to survival), he is relishing the chance to bring his music – a mix of soul, pop, dubstep, reggae, and drum & bass – to venues around the world.
"The live show is awesome," he says. "Just when we were working out how we were going to do it that was a massive experience in itself. And, yeah, I loved it. It's great to perform the album live. It's quite a lot of work figuring out how we were going to do it, but we got there."
The prospect of a world tour seemed pretty remote to Clare even a year ago. The Lateness of the Hour was originally released in the UK in the summer of 2011 to little fanfare. In fact, Clare was dropped by his record label that autumn and had started work with a realtor friend in East London when his song "Too Close" was chosen by Microsoft to soundtrack a commercial. The ad debuted in spring 2012 and reignited interest in Clare's music. He welcomed the renewed attention.
"At the time I was actually stuck in a bit of a rut," he says. "I had just lost a record deal and [was] kind of waiting for the next step to appear. And, yeah, I didn't think twice. It was just like 'yeah, man. Go for it.'"
Lateness was produced by dance music icons Diplo & Switch, and recorded in Jamaica and Los Angeles around Diplo's touring schedule.
"They have very good ears, and Switch is one of the best listeners I know," Clare says of his production team. "He'll sit there and tweak sounds and switch sounds around until it's perfect, and he usually gets it right. Diplo will try anything – throw stuff at the wall to see what happens, to see what sticks – and if it sounds good, you run with it."
Clare is currently "about a third of the way in" to his second album, having written "about" ten songs so far.
"I probably need to write another ten, and then we'll start producing."
Asked to compare his new music to that of Lateness, Clare says: "It's a little bit more positive, a little bit more artistic. But yeah, I don't want to say too much because I don't want to jinx myself."
Has his sense of what he can accomplish changed much since the Microsoft ad revived his career?
"Massively, absolutely," he says. "I mean, I never really thought that my music would get to an international level. So this is awesome! And it did."
Born and raised in Bromley, a south-east London neighbourhood, Clare continues to live in the city when he is not on the road. A "certified Londoner," he partly credits the city and its diversity of influences for the eclecticism of his music.
"I sort of grew up around the invention of Goth music and the tail end of Britpop so it was a good time to be around musically," he says. "But I still think I was born into the wrong taste; if I was born anywhere I should have been born in the '60s in New Orleans or somewhere."
Clare currently lives in Golders Green, a north-west London suburb with a large orthodox Jewish population. Having grown up relatively secular, Clare has become more observant in his Judaism in the last few years, to the extent that he once turned down a tour with Adele because it conflicted with Passover. I ask Clare if his faith helps sustain him through the demands of a pop music career.
"The priorities definitely shift," he says. "You start valuing your life experiences and the good things in life a lot more. So when things tend to go what seems terribly wrong with work or with something you are doing, typically it gives you a little bit of strength, and, you know, you kind of have to believe that everything is for the best. And when you sort of accept that, it becomes a lot easier. It's definitely a big support, emotionally, physically, and spiritually."
