Tushi Fitness Tracker Wristband + Wireless Monitor

                                  

Fitness is really not my cup of tea but I know I need to walk more, but how do I know how far to walk?  I am overweight and I do not eat a lot so exercise is what I really need, yet I really would like to know how many calories I burn a day.  After all that is how we are trained to lose weight....exercise and diet, watch those calories and move!  I hate counting calories and I can't overdue myself, but yet do need to do more with my Fibro.  

With this Tushi Fitness tracker it really helps.  It can count how many calories I burn and how much I walk a day (which needs total improvement).   My son tried this out for me at first and was so excited because within his day at work he actually gets in his 10,000 steps.   10,000 steps is what is usually recommended for most of us to keep healthy and help the extra pounds melt off.  Of course this is considering we keep our calories in check also.  Everyone's body is different. 

The Tushi tracker is also great for timing yourself with different exercises.  It has four alarms that you can utilize for different activities.  If you are more into how long you walk, which a lot of progressive walkers are, then you can use an alarm.  The Tushi also has a distance walker display so you can measure how far you have walked, in case that is your goal. 

As far as goals go, Tushi has a target display that allows you to set a target and another display that shows you your progress.  Great for someone, like myself, that has to work up to a goal that will keep me fit and healthy. 

It also has the time and date so that you are always in the loop and can wear your Tushi all day!  It has an easy to work band that stays on you, even through the strenuous activities of the day.  The silicone band is easy on the wrist and is very durable, and flexible.  The blue led screen is easy on the eyes.  There is also a sleep monitor that adds to all the benefits. 

If you need more you can also download the iSport activity monitor (available on Google Play and iOS App store) and connect your wristband and get more for your buck!  Manuel included.

Calf Compression Sleeves with Reflective Technology by Fitness Foundations

It seems like no matter what you do there is an injury that can occur from it or a health problem. Believe me I thought there were safe jobs out there somewhere, but I have even injured myself bagging potatoes. Yeah, yeah, I think that was the second worst injury I have ever had. Yet in sports we get injured, and being on our feet all day can cause injuries and circulation problems. There are runners who get shin splints and others sports people who injure their calves. My brother has a weight issue and he has bad circulation in his legs, my mom is a retired teacher tech and her legs really bother her from being on her feet a lot. Even the wonderful door greeters at Walmart have leg problems from being on the hard floor for long times. What do all of these have in common, the need for calf compression sleeves.

My son is so funny, when he saw these he tells me that his friends have told him that the sleeves help build the muscles in his calves. Although he has nice looking calves I will let him keep believing it.

The fact is that the sleeves help increase the artery blood flow,aiding in the recovery process due to increased oxygen and nutrients to the heart. It also increases the velocity of the vein blood flow, which helps the deoxygenated blood and lactic acid will get back to the heart quicker, increasing recovery rate and decreasing muscle soreness. Compression will also help to stabilize the muscle and decrease the amount of muscular vibration, resulting in decreased fatigue. The sleeves work good for most purposes, but use a compression sock if you have problems with your arch or Achilles tendon.

These sleeves are 20% spandex and 80% nylon for a nice tight fit. Make sure your measure your calf for the right size to fit your leg. They also have highly reflective stripes to help you be seen if running in dusk, dawn or at night.  These are a really good quality and do help protect your calf muscles.

MyProSupports ELBOW BRACE

I have a terrible habit, when I am not typing and I am searching items I rest my elbow on the desk.  I learned the hard way that is a great way to pinch nerves and cause my carpal tunnel to settle in the elbow.   Not a good thing.  Not only does it pinch the nerves it causes pain and so I have to be careful where I rest my elbow.  Sad thing is I have a recliner that pinches the elbow nerves, too.  So I decided it was time to try this Elbow Brace from MyProSports.   Much to my surprise it really helps. 

The elbow brace gives my elbow some cushion and support throughout the day helping relief the nerves.  It fits comfortably and adjusts around the two arm bands that connect it.  The elbow part is thick and well cushioned and the whole piece is sewn very well.   

The compression isn't a tight one but it does use your body heat in the area to give a great therapeutic warmth for the elbow,  which is helpful to many injuries or strains our elbows take in our daily lives. 

If you get tennis elbow, or injuries in the area, including nerve pinches I highly recommend trying an elbow brace to help the healing or just for cushioned support when needed.

Premium Leather Workout Gloves by Alpha Impact

In many situations our hands can be the bane of our existence.  They tell a lot about us and sometimes too much.  For instance callused hands often mean a hard worker in the physical sense.  Dry hands usually mean we are slightly dehydrated and then you have the wrinkled hands that usually constitute age.   Good thing is with proper care our hands do not have to show too much of a story about us.  

With these Premium Leather workout gloves we can protect our hands from the calluses and dryness that can really age our hands and cause problems.   These gloves are initially for women who workout, to protect their gloves from the blisters and calluses that can form from the barbells and other bars involved in a great workout.  Yes they are great for that, but recently I have discovered this gloves are great for so much more.  

Have you ever been working outside and in doing yard work, wearing regular garden gloves, you still get the blisters and calluses from pruning, lawn mowing, weed eating and so much more?   That is where these gloves come into effect.  After all you are working out in a sense.  I know I get the blisters and calluses from gardening and the thin gardening gloves just do not help.  They may protect my fingers, but they are hard to maneuver in and do not have padding, plus they dry out my skin.   With these Leather workout gloves you can prune, mow, and weed eat while protecting your hands in the right areas.  The padding will help protect your lower fingers and hand below your fingers from the  blisters and calluses.  The gloves also have a microfiber towel area on the back of the glove so you can wipe your sweat more effectively, and softly.   You will get the flexibility that is needed to work the equipment and the glove are strong and well sewn to last a long time.  

These gloves will work for sports, such as bicycling, hiking and much more, that also tend to wear on your hands.  They fit all women and wrist sizes with the adjustable wrist band.  So whether you are into barbells, gardening or roughing up your hands other ways, these gloves will make a great addition to protecting your hands.

Premium Sports Water Bottle By Cricent

One of the biggest health concerns in America today is hydration.   We are always so busy to remember how we need to drink or we turn to food instead of water and other hydrating methods. 

Water is so very vital in our lives, so many have been lost due to dehydration.  No matter how active we are we need to drink 8 cups or more a day, and even more than that for active people.  Yet, sometimes we are just not in the position to where we can drink, unless we take our beverage with us. 

With this Premium sports water bottle we can efficiently take our liquid hydration with us.  I have tried many water bottles and I have to say that this bottle and style is the tops.  The bottle holds a good 24 oz and has a tight spill proof lid.   Now others boast spill proof lids but the locking device on this bottle keeps the lid tight and totally spill proof over all others.   The Premium Sports Bottle has a a plastic straw attached to a rubber straw so it is easy to drink from no matter where you are.  Can't say that about all bottles.   It is easy to clean, preferably hand washed, and BPA free.  

This bottle can be used for water, sports drinks, protein shakes, and more.  It also has a handle for easier carrying and handling.   Never need to go without your beneficial hydration again.

Heavy Duty Canvas Carrier by Zeemplify 

As a woman I am used to carrying a purse or tote, that is just how it is! Yet you look everywhere and totes are being used by all to carry so much.  Whether it be a picnic and having to carry the food and supplies, or the beach with your towels and sunscreen, the gym with fresh clothes and towels, and we can't leave out the infamous diaper bags.  Totes are even being used to organize all the necessities in cars now days.  Then, who can ignore the fact that totes are wonderful and come in handy at one point or another. 

I was looking for a good tote when I received the opportunity to review the Heavy Duty Canvas Carrier by Zeemplify.   Needless to say I was very impressed.  

This sturdy carrier is big and the canvas is strong and tight knit.  The straps are strong and add just the right touch of design to the bag.  The bag does not have a zipper at the top which allows for you to use it more efficiently and utilize the space completely.  This also allows for usage of big bulky items such as wood or sports equipment.  I find this very useful indeed, as any bag with a zipper can be a hassle and too much in the bag can put stress on the zipper to the point of breaking. The canvas bag is easy to wipe clean and reuse over and over again.

I am actually looking forward to using this in my trunk to organize emergency supplies.  What will you use your for?

Chill Pal Sports Cooling Towel

Summer is approaching, and even though we may have complained about the cold this winter, we are bound to get to a point where we complain about it being hot.  I, for one, seem to do this each year. Yet, it is a shame to stay indoors during spring/summer, there is so much to do!!  I like to work in the garden, there is camping, and bbqs, fishing, hiking, sports,  and the dreaded weeding and lawn mowing.  

Even though all the above is fun it can sometimes be treacherous in the heat.  Thank goodness for the Chill Pal Cooling Towel.  My question is "where was this when I needed it?"   

The chill towel makes me think of a thick chamois.  It is strong, thick and, yes, it is cool feeling.  It comes in a nice storage tube.  It was a little bit hard to get out of the tube the first time as it is wrapped in plastic, but it is very easy after that.  When you take the towel out of the plastic you will feel it cool and damp.  At this point, I knew it was a wise investment and worth it.  

To begin using it you simply get it wet, squeeze and use it.  This would be great for any sports, exercise,  construction workers,  yard work, etc.  Anytime you need to cool down.  Since this towel is for cooling purposes I would actually keep one of these in my emergency kits and cars.   Reason? Because kids, older people,  pets, and others can get overheated in vehicles.  Also, because it would help if you had a feverish child.  My perspective, anyway.  

This towel dries stiff, so store when damp.  The material is an innovative PVA material that stays soft to the touch, easy to wash and reuse, and stays cool for hours.  

Don't take the heat lightly this summer, get your own Chill Pad Towel.

CLA Complex Review by Pure Natural Fit

Trying to lose weight? So many supplements to try! If you are like me you are willing to try them all, but get so confused about each one, or just want them each to work faster. I want drastic, fast and perfect, yet that will not happen.

Many supplements drive me crazy, why? Well, first one bottle will last you only a month, if even that, and then you have to buy more. Safest way is to buy more than one bottle at once. Then each supplement will take longer than a month to show drastic results. Not fast! My biggest pet peeve, or the one thing I forget most, is each of the supplements you have to take 30-60 minute before you eat. The one thing I do not is plan my meals out by time, and set an alarm for the time to take my supplements. Then if you are one to snack, well that just causes a mess with supplements too.

Until now!! CLA, Conjugated Linoleic Acid, is a healthy, easier way to lose weight. The main reason for me is that I do not have to remember to take it before my meal, I can take it with my meals,.

CLA, Complex, which is a conjugated linoleic acid. Conjugated linoleic acid refers to a group of chemicals found in the fatty acid linoleic acid. Dairy products and beef are the major dietary sources. It is hard to find the amounts needed for health benefits in diet alone and it is not made in the human body. Conjugated linoleic acid is used for cancer “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis), obesity, weight loss caused by chronic disease, bodybuilding, and limiting food allergy reactions.


CLA by Pure Natural Fit is made in a FDA registered facility. CLA Complex contains 80% Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) derived from the highest grade and GMO-Free Safflower Oil. It comes in medium size capsules and you take it with food. That is my favorite part. Other supplements for weight loss recommend you take them 30-60 minutes before you eat. I always forget! So I really do like the idea of taking a supplement with my food.


There can be side effects of stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue. Keep in mind these side effects are common side effects that can happen with most any drug or supplement taken for weight loss. Do not take if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have diabetes, or a metabolic syndrome. It can aid in losing body mass, not necessarily weight.
Each persons body is different and reacts differently to supplements. This is where is becomes important to research whom you buy CLA from, Pure Natural Fit offers a a 30 day no-questions-asked money back guarantee!!


So with the preliminary scientific talk out of the way... I personally have not experienced any of the side effects and there have been many who have testified that this has worked for them. I do not make guarantees, but if it is okay with your doctor then it is worth a try. As with all supplements, drink plenty water and keep active, to get better results.

Fitness

One word that a lot of us shirk from is Fitness, or exercise as we call it.   Sad to say many Americans, such as myself, are overweight.  Yet we sit there and envy those who look good and work hard for it.  I am such person.  I am at my highest weight and have learned that if I do not move I get stiff and sore.  

So, in the process of product reviewing I have started reviewing fitness items to help myself get encouraged to get up and move.  I can no longer use the " I want to do that but do not have the money to buy the equipment"  excuse.  

In this section you will find anything to do with fitness.  From supplements that help build or repair your muscles to equipment, and more.

No.1 Rated Hot Yoga Towel from Shandali

I have had the pleasure to review a Shandali product before, the Ultrasport Travel and Sports Towel From Shandali, and I was truly amazed at how wonderful their product was.  I was more than happy to try their Yoga Towel.   

I have said before, I love the feel of microfiber, and this Yoga towel's microfiber on my feet was a real treat.  As I tried this towel I was slightly surprised at how well of a yoga mat it was.  There wasn't any of the sliding, and as your feet sweat , the towel absorbed it really nice.  My feet did not slide from the sweat, that was so nice. 

The quality is excellent!  The towel is thick and very well made.  The color doesn't bleed, which is great.  My son has been doing the laundry since I had knee surgery a couple years ago, and I forget to tell him not to put new levi's in with other colors.  My bad! My pink sweater shirt is now a combo of colors!  So anything that doesn't bleed color is great.   

If you do yoga or any other exercises where you use a mat, then I recommend giving you feet a soft and stable treat by trying the Shandali's Hot Yoga Towel.

Ultrasport Travel and Sports Towel From Shandali



I have loved doing product reviews, it is fun and rewarding.  the best thing is when you find something that you really love!  Something new and unique to you, something that just makes your day!  

I recently had the chance to try the Ultrasport Travel and Sports Towel from Shandali, which is one of the items that just made my day!  I took a day to give myself a facial, which I could try many products to be reviewed at once (plus something I really needed.)  In which I used my Shandali Travel towel.   Let me tell you, I almost sat there and let my face stay in the towel, it was so soft and thick!!  

Now I have a thing for microfiber, I am not sure if it is my Aspergers' syndrome shining through, but I have a weakness for it.  These towels are made of a thick microfiber fabric, and the quality is outstanding.  

Some of the qualities you will find in this towel are:  

Lightweight and compact, even though it feels thick it isn't heavy like some towels.
Bleed Free, they will retain their color and not share it with the other clothes. 
Easy to clean, throw it in the wash and hang dry, it will retain it's quality.
Absorbs moisture, yet it doesn't feel soaked like other towels would after usage. 
No shedding, not more fabric pills on your clothes from the terry cloth towels. 
Deep cleans, it is strong and will hold up to heavy cleaning. 

If you want an amazing towel, for sports such as Zumba, Yoga, or Running, Travel or personal use this is the towel for you,

Now, I am not pretty, especially when doing a makeover, but I wanted you to see the towels in use.
