Air Bar Exercise

This is a new and fresh idea to me for exercise. All you need is the DVD but if you want to amp up your work out you can add a 40 in dowel or rod, different kinds of wood will give you different weight. You can even grab a broom or mop with head removed. You want to optimally have a rod with a diameter between 7/8 and 1 inch.

Of course I am still at the no dowel stage but my husband is working on cutting down one of our poles for me to use in the upcoming weeks. Here is to a new exercise and to a healthier you.

You can purchase the Air Bar Exercise on Amazon.

Smart Weigh Bathroom Memory Scale

The Smart Weigh Bathroom Memory Scale is just that. The Smart Weigh to weigh yourself. This scale stores up to 8 people and lets you know with color if you have gained, lost, or stayed the same. Because I have a daughter with a eating disorder I don't particularly like the red light for weight gained because it seems bad when in her case gaining weight should be green, but most people are trying to lose weight so I see why they would choose red.

This is super easy to use and takes weight up to 440lbs. It is quite hard to find a good scale that does a reading over 300lbs much less 400lbs but 440 is even harder unless you want to spend your paycheck on one, but the Smart Weigh give you this for a fraction of the price you would expect.

Great for big families as I said it holds up to 8 different people.

You can purchase the Smart Weigh Bathroom Memory Scale on Amazon.

PurSabino Non Slip Toeless Yoga Socks Bella Style

The number one reason of using a Yoga mat is so that you don't slip around while trying to do Yoga poses, the second reason would be more comfort for your body while you are doing Yoga poses on the floor with your body. Still looking for the perfect supporting Yoga mat for those who bruise easily and have pain such as Fibromyalgia.

With PurSabino Non Slip Toeless Yoga Socks Bella Style if you don't need the support you can kick the mat to the curb so to speak. No more slipping and sliding. I really like these Yoga socks because they have cutouts so my toes are uncovered which means my feet can have a bit of fresh air while doing poses.

These are quite pretty, comfortable, and easy to care for. I am very impressed with the PurSabino line. No more slipping on my wood floors. Personally I only use the mat for when I am doing body poses on the floor.

You can purchase PurSabino Non Slip Toeless Yoga Socks Bella Style on Amazon.

Coosh CBS001B Precision Digital Bathroom Scale

The Coosh CBS001B Precision Digital Bathroom Scale is a great scale for those who on the bigger size up to 440 lbs. and is simple to use, just open, pull out the plastic strip keeping the battery from working, and it is time to weigh yourself. You can weigh in either KG or LB. 

There are not thrills in this scale but it will weigh you quickly, and has a extra wide base so people who are bigger like myself can stand on this without having to balance while trying to see what you weigh. This also has a large display for those who might have sight issues. 

This is a great scale that does what it is made to do weigh people. Sometimes simple is all you need.

Xylitol Sweetner Review & Giveaway

 As a blogger I get to try out lots of products, and one of my favorite are the foods. This time our family was able to try out Xylitol, if that sounds familiar to you thin sugar free gum that is good for your teeth, you know the kind Dentists recommend. 

This is a sweetener that is used just like you would regular sugar, spoon for spoon. No aftertaste which if you have tried other sweeteners out there, you know some of them leave a horrible taste in your mouth if you can even get them past your tongue to swallow.

We really don't use sugar for much of anything else besides baking and beverages. We used Xylitol to make banana bread, as well as preparing coffee and tea. 

If you can not wait to see if you win a bag of this in the giveaway below you can purchase Xylitol on Amazon.

3 DVD Beginning Salsa Dance System Review

When I was younger I thought that my friends who took dancing lessons were the luckiest ducks ever. I had always wanted to learn how to dance, luckily I have teamed up with Dance Crazy as an adult to not only tell my readers about their great DVD learning systems but to also learn to dance while doing it. I have been learning some interesting dances. 

What I like best is that this will teach you step by step. It is like having a dance instructor right there with you. Now if only my husband's leg would heal so that we could both dance the night away, until then I have my girls to learn with. 

You can order Learn to Dance Salsa here or on Amazon.

Merengue Dance DVD Review

If you haven't noticed out family has been on the Dance Crazy kick, which is nice because we all like to dance, OK maybe not my husband but for the most part we all like to. My seven year old loves to dance and why not make it a time for the whole family to learn new dances.

If anyone has seen dirty dancing, footloose, flash dance, or any of the other dance movies out there, you probably want to be able to kick up your feet once in a while too. Dance Crazy and their line up of dvd's can teach you from the beginning to mastery on many dances out there.

This time we got Merengue and so far so good. I think my seven year old has more of the moves down then anyone else. My husband and I said if there were a dance studio closer and didn't charge so much we would sign her up, but until then there is the internet and dvd's to learn from.

You can purchase Merengue Dance DVD on Amazon.

IPhone 5 Armband - Pro Athlete Quality Review

One of the things I like best about  being a blogger is being able to review items and then come back here and tell my readers about  the products. The MUV armband that I have right now fits my daughter iPod 5 touch perfectly without it's case. My daughter does not like having to take her iPod out of it's case so that is the only downfall we saw, but she does like being able to run on the tred mill without having to worry about her iPod. 

Of course this will come in handy in the warmer months as well as she runs the trails with her sisters too. Finally they all have their own except for Dorothy. I haven't seen any made for little kids yet. 

You can purchase the Muv IPhone 5 Armband - Pro Athlete Quality on Amazon.

.

What MUV has to say about their product. 
- The MuvUSA iPhone 5 armband is designed to perform and last.
- The premium red stitching puts this armband in the best class of quality, durability and style.
- The superior velcro will remain intact and will ensure that the band does not slip off your arm, even in the most intense workouts.
- All of the openings are also reinforced and hence tear-resistant.
- The ultra soft neoprene ensures full comfort and no damage to your skin.
- It protects your iPhone from damage and is usable in any condition because it is waterproof and sweat resistant
- The touch screen protector is slim and highly sensitive, so you can use your touch screen with no hassle.
- The high-visibility reflector allows you to run or exercise outdoors at any time during the day or night.
- The key holder and the 4 openings at the back provide great convenience.
