Cruise Crunch Challenge – Day 1 I am going on my very first cruise vacation on October 1st. I’m so excited about it. It’s my first time on a cruise ship. It’s my first time going to another country. I literally go no where. I have been to a total of four states that I can remember. We moved a lot when I was very young. I can’t remember any…
Ki’s Progress – Week 1 – 2018 – New Goals Goal #1 – Start Tracking (Again) – I have not been true to myself on this journey for about a year. This time last year, I moved. And in doing so, I got too busy to check in each week and it just slipped off of my radar. No excuses though, I need to get back on the ball and…
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…

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…
Beating the I Can’t Mentality Do you have the I can’t mentality? There are so many times I look at exercises and workouts and think to myself “I can’t do that”. I am fat. I have a hernia. I have PCOS, what if it causes a cyst to burst? I have back issues. What if I hurt myself? I don’t have health insurance. I can’t afford a doctor. I might lay…
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?…
CAP Barbell Weighted Workout Bar Generally speaking, the CAP Barbell Weighted Workout Bar is a barbell that you do not have to change the weight on. It is a specific weight, the end. You cannot add or subtract weight to the bar. The bar is solid steel construction coated in a soft rubber for easier grip. That makes it a little better than a standard barbell to me. It’s about three to…
