Valeo Body Ball

SP Bragg — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 01:18:41 +0000

I got one of these for Christmas with hopes of improving my posture while sitting behind a desk. Am I the only one who tends to slouch as the day goes by?? Anyway, I did what they suggested… just a few minutes at a time, increasing how long I balanced myself and I already I can feel the difference. But what I didn’t expect was how many different exercises can be done using the ball. Packed along with the pump, was a wall chart. I just might get that skinnier waistline this year after all!

This just might be the perfect time to pick up that treadmill/piece of equipment you have been promising yourself all of last year. The prices aren’t half bad!
Take a look at what Sears has on offer!!

Valeo HW5 5-Pound Neoprene Hand Weights

SP Bragg — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 15:48:37 +0000

I’m pretty sure that this was the size that Britt picked up while we were on Christmas holidays in Florida. She had forgotten to pack them and she uses this size every day.

Dumbbell Rack

SP Bragg — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 15:42:55 +0000

I just spotted this rack and instantly thought of my daughter. I really should use weights, but unfortunately I don’t and I really don’t know a lot about them… so I just called upstairs to ask her why she thinks that they are so important. Here’s what she said… in a nutshell… weights create muscle which means that you are burning calories without doing anything. I think that was the jist of it. She also pointed out to me that it would help prevent osteoperosis. I think that was a hint!

This afternoon I will go up and see what she has that I can actually lift.

Yaktrax Walker Shoe Traction

SP Bragg — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 17:20:08 +0000

It has been the oddest winter so far and as much as I wish it were true, I don’t think that it’s over quite yet. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t get out and enjoy what winter has to offer. Just bundle up, slip these onto the bottom of your boots and go for that daily walk. No worries about falling… been there and done that in my own driveway!

Yoga Mat for Christmas

Dark Blue Extra Long Deluxe 1/4 Inch Thick Yoga Mat

This quarter inch mat is definitely the way to go. I have just taken up Yoga to try and strengthen my back muscles and the thinner Yoga mats aren’t working for me. I can feel ever bone that hits the floor. I don’t need that! But I was amazed at how many muscles were aching after a few days of Yoga. Hmmm, maybe that smaller waistline is closer than I thought.

AM/PM Yoga for Beginners (Amazon)

SP Bragg — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 22:00:05 +0000

I just finished the PM version of this video. I only have a 2 o’clock slot to work with so I use the time allotted me. I highly recommend it if you really dislike exercising. (That’s definitely me) So for you moms with little kids… the minute they go down for their nap, put it on the video. Not only does it stretch bits of you that haven’t been stretched in years, it’s also relaxing. Might as well take advantage and I was quite surprised to find that I feel quite refreshed after a 20 minute session and I would never have lasted that long with a regular exercise program. And even better, my sides are hurting. I just might get that waistline yet!!

Next week, I’m going to shoot for the morning sessions as well.

Perfect Pushup Bars

SP Bragg — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 14:11:38 +0000

I never know what to get my husband for Christmas and this just might be a good idea and that way I get to try them out too. I don’t know if there is any reason why women can’t use them… if it makes it easier for guys to do push-ups, then maybe it would make it easier for us too. All I know is that I want to do a little work and I like the fact that more muscles are targeted and there is less stress on the joints. And if it doesn’t work for me… well, they were for my husband anyway.

Today’s Shopping Tip – How To Choose a Tennis Racket

SP Bragg — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 14:06:09 +0000

I have been playing a lot of tennis with my daughter and it’s burning about a zillion calories… at least the way I play, but that’s another story. Lets just say that I’m not anywhere near as good as she is and that brings me to the topic for this post. If you are a beginner and you are looking for a tennis racket, choose one with a larger head size. That means it’s going to be easier for you to hit the ball. My daughter has one that is much smaller and it’s perfect for her, but I need all the help I can get lol…
