Precision Body Check Bathroom Scale by EatSmart

*Precision Body Check Bathroom Scale by EatSmart

Scales have come a long way in the last ten years!  Please tell me you do not still have the old school scale that when you step on it the little needle goes up?  If you do, it's definitely time to upgrade!

This Precision Body Check Bathroom Scale by EatSmart is a great option if you are looking to upgrade your scale.  Not only is this a great quality scale but it also allows you to measure your approximate BMI, % body fat, % body muscle, % body water, bone mass and estimated caloric intake.  How's that for an upgrade from your old school scale?

Having a scale that can help you track your BMI, % body fat, % body muscle, % body water, bone mass is a great tool.  It can be especially helpful if you are trying to loose weight.  I don't think it's helpful to weigh yourself everyday, your weight can fluctuate by a few pounds depending on a lot of factors.  To make sure you are tracking your weight correctly I recommend that you weigh yourself  just once a week and at the same time ever day.  Preferably, you should weigh yourself first thing in the morning before you have had anything to eat or drink to get the most accurate reading.
A scale like this is a small investment to make that can benefit your overall health!

Lightweight Yoga Mat by Veda Yoga

*Lightweight Yoga Mat by Veda Yoga

 A home gym is just not complete without a nice quality Yoga Mat!  It also doesn't hurt if it's pretty!  Like this one that I just got this Lightweight Yoga Mat by Veda Yoga in this beautiful purple color! 

However, there is more to this Yoga Mat by Veda Yoga than a beautiful purple color.  It's the perfect size and thickness making it durable, soft and cushy and it even has a little texture to make it non-slip because there's nothing worse than sliding right off your Yoga Mat! 

 It's also easy to clean, to keep it simple I just use a 100% Natural & Organic Yoga Mat Cleaner by Asutra in the Lavender scent and a microfiber towel.  It's quick, easy and smells nice!  Speaking of smells, the other thing that like about this Yoga Mat is that it doesn't have that overwhelming plastic smell that most Yoga Mats have.  I don't know if that's one of the features but I love that about it!

The Ultimate Water Bottle by Xtreme Canteen

*The Ultimate Water Bottle by Xtreme Canteen

I will admit it.  I used to be one of those that bought cases of water and went through water bottle after water bottle.  Even though I recycled those bottles it still left me feeling like I was wasn't doing my part in trying to help keep our planet sustainable.  I knew I had to make a change and that's when I discovered a variety of stainless steel water bottles and I haven't gone back to a regular water bottle since.

If you have never experienced a stainless steel water bottle I am here to tell you that you are missing out!  I like my water cold, ice cold and that is my favorite thing about a high quality stainless steel water bottle like this one by Xtreme Canteen.  First thing every morning I fill up my Xtreme Canteen and the great thing is that ice will still be there so I can just keep filling it with water throughout the day.  Actually, I will still ice well into the next day.  Such a cool feature!  Plus, you can even put a hot beverage or even some soup in it and it will stay hot for about 12 hours!  I also love that it's 32 oz. (also comes in 40 oz!) because I drink a ton of water throughout the day and the larger size means fewer trips to the faucet.

This Xtreme Canteen is made with 18/8 food grade stainless steel, BPA free, 100% recyclable and has a lifetime warranty!  It also comes in a variety of awesome colors, my personal favorite is the one I have which is the Tiffani Blue!  Love!

Forever Flex Exercise Ball by Live Infinitely

*Forever Flex Exercise Ball by Live Infinitely

It's that time of year.  We all start thinking about our New Year resolutions and how we are going to really make them happen this year!  Every year I add the typical "Loose Weight" or "Get In Shape" to my list.  This year I am planning ahead and starting early and this Forever Flex Exercise Ball by Live Infinitely has been my motivation.
I love Exercise Balls and I find that when I add an Exercise Ball to my workout routine I have better overall results and a ball is definitely a necessity for me when I am trying to strengthen my core.  I also have a lot of back and neck issues as well so using an Exercise Ball provides me with low impact exercises and helps me to not over do it and strain my muscles.
One thing for sure is that all Exercise Balls are created equal and some are poorly made or they only come in one size and having an Exercise Ball that fits your height can be really important.
That's where the Forever Flex Exercise Ball by Live Infinitely comes into play.  Not only is it very well made with professional grade PVC material and a unique anti-burst design but it also comes in four different sizes.  The size selections are based on height:

Shorter than 5' 6": 55cm

From 5' 6" - 5' 11": 65cm

From 6' 0" - 6' 4": 75cm

Taller than 6' 4": 85cm

The Forever Flex Exercise Ball by Live Infinitely also comes with a hand pump, extra air plug, and valve remover tool.. But, that's not all!  It also includes access to their exercise guides and online training workouts to get you going on the right track and on your way to the more healthy and stronger version of yourself!

*Santamedical LFM-110 Tens Unit

Tens Units are my new best friend! I have been testing out a few different models lately and I am so grateful because it has forced me sit down for at least 20 min and relax!  

I have a lot of back and neck issues and have for years. I hate taking medication to deal with pain and I usually don't, I tend to just suffer through it.

Thankfully, Santamedical sent me a couple of their Tens Unit Electronic Pulse Massagers and now I am not sure how I ever lived without them. I like to use my Tens Unit Electronic Pulse Massager by Santamedical right before I go to bed. Not only does it help relieve my pains and aches but it also helps me relax so I can sleep better.

BikiniBOD - The Ultimate Beauty Body Formula

*BikiniBOD - The Ultimate Beauty Body Formula

I had never heard of the BikiniBod supplement before and after finding out how well it works I was a little surprised that we had never crossed paths before.  This supplement provided me with unbelievable energy, I actually could only take half the recommended dose because I found it to be a little too powerful for me.  It totally curbed my appetite and I even managed to loose a few pounds even when I went off my normal workout routine.  I would give a little warning to anyone with Caffeine sensitivity like me, start with half of the dose and then work your way up otherwise you might find yourself not being able to sleep!  It's that potent!  Plus, be prepared to make a lot of trips to the bathroom, the Uva Ursi contained in the supplement helps your body get rid of excess water so you might find yourself (like I did) constantly going to the bathroom.  Overall, I think that this is a really great supplement that actually works.  I try to promote working out and eating healthy while taking any kind of supplement but you can loose weight taking this supplement all by itself.

So, what exactly is BikiniBOD?  BikiniBod is an all natural weight loss supplement designed specifically for women to work in conjunction with a consistent workout regime and healthy diet.  BikiniBod helps curb cravings by using Bitter Orange Extract to suppress your appetite.  It also contains Yohimbe, Raspberry Ketones and Caffeine that work together to help boost your daily metabolic rate which helps burn more calories and fat whether you exercise or not.  The Green Coffee Bean stops the fat breakdown and absorption in the small intestine, meanwhile the Garcinia Cambogia prevents carbohydrates from converting to fats. The Uva Ursi works as a diuretic, expelling excess water from under your skin and pushing it out through your kidneys, relieving unflattering and uncomfortable bloat.  It also has some Biotin which can help strengthen and grow your hair, skin and nails and it has nourishing antioxidants to fight off harmful free radicals.  Finally, Green Tea's has anti-aging properties to help keep you looking your best!
