Weight Watchers Resistance Cord Set Alas again, the Dollar General bargain of $5 for equipment got me. This time, I was happy with what I paid for. I got less in this set than I did the yoga set. It only came with one cord that doesn’t actually specify how much resistance it is equivalent too. But never fear, you can always go to Amazon and get a full set…
Weight Watchers Yoga Block and Strap Set Although I have practiced yoga in the past, I haven’t actually started my yoga practice in my current journey. I bought this set at a Dollar General because it had a DVD with it and I thought HEY! Let’s try that! Okay, now to the actual products that were included in this set. It came with a single block. Back in the day…
Perfect Fitness Crunch The Perfect Fitness Crunch is a piece I affectionately call my torture device. While it is effective to do your crunches with it, as a beginner it’s hard work! My spirit animal is a sloth so when it comes to the set aside time to use this piece there is a ton of whining going on in my house. The hardest part of using this piece of equipment…
Gold’s Gym Step The Gold’s Gym Step is an adjustable height step. There are tons of DVD’s out there to use this step with not to mention You Tube videos. I personally use it when I’m low on reaching my step goal for the day. It’s as simple as busting out this bad boy and stepping up and down until I reach my goal for the day. I love it, it’s…
CAP vs. Danskin Dumbell Weights My personal preference for dumbbell weights is the cheaper the better. Mine are all cast iron filled. CAP brand is low cost and covered in neoprene to help you with your grip. I also have a set of Danskin now hand weights that are covered in vinyl. Not my favorite weights because I sweat. When I sweat the Danskin weights slip in my hands. The…
Golds Gym Stayball The Golds Gym Stayball 75 cm is the love of my life. Anti-burst technology to me meant that I wasn’t going to burst it open the second I sat or rolled my beginner body over its silvery surface. It’s a versatile piece of equipment because it can be used for your entire body. It tones, it helps with balance, it’s stable. It is my friend. I named mine….
Lotus Yoga Mat Do you use the Lotus Yoga Mat? This sucker is THIN! I mean it’s so thin if you don’t have carpeted floors it’s miserable to use thin! The upside is that it’s got a textured surface so you don’t slip and slide all over the place when you sweat. Although I’ve recently learned your supposed to use a towel for that. At home, I don’t want to increase…
Golds Gym Foldable Exercise Mat The Golds Gym foldable exercise mat is great for the crunches and floor exercises we do to tone up our core. As many of you know, trying to do these core exercises on hard tile is a KILLER on the back and tail bone. This mat is about a half an inch thick. It does provide some comfort while working out but on my hard tile…
Golds Gym Thigh Toner Golds Gym Thigh Toner…I think you’ll recognize this little purple bad boy. Back in the day it would be called a thigh master. It’s advertised as a “compact toning system that works your hips, thighs and glutes. Easy to use, you simply grip the padded handles between your knees and press inward. The thigh trimmer can also be used to strengthen your upper body by pressing…
Pedal Cycle Exercise Bike The Pedal Cycle Exercise Bike duped me. I was looking for something to put under my desk and use while I was on the computer. This piece was advertised as being a low impact exercise. Pedal your way to better circulation. Tension adjuster controls your workout level. Easy assembly and made of metal. Sounded good. At a price point of $13 why not give a try?…
