"The Bodyblade"

The Bodyblade exercise tool is not something for amateurs. This tool, which is shaped like a long thin paddle is made to provide maximum resistance for arm and core exercises.The bodyblade is made of a sturdy, flexible material that provides heavy amounts of quick resistance. As you go to move the blade back and forth in a fast motion, it oscillates quickly and makes your target muscles work to stabilize. That is the key to this tool-stabilization. When you are focusing on co-contractions of many different muscles at once, you ca...

"Horizon Series E95 Elliptical "

The Horizon Series E95 Elliptical Cross trainer is an elliptical that is available currently on the market as a moderate to high end priced elliptical. The machine is easy to assemble, it only took us about an hour out of the box to put together with minimal confusion. The setup and use was the easy part, the machine has easy push button controls to adjust the resistance, time length and difficulty overall. But the problem and reason for a lower rating for this machine is its reliability. The Horizon E95 has difficulty not falling apart. We ...

"Pure Komachi Knife set"

The Pure Komachi knives are excellent kitchen knives for all occasions. While using these, I found that no matter what I cut through and wanted to chop, it was easily cut. the knives are easy to use and feature a coating on the super sharp blade to keep the food from sticking to it. the handles are colorful and have icons on them so you don't cut chicken then veggies, to prevent crossing bacteria. The sharpness of the knives are my favorite part, they are ready right out of the box to get to work. I found that the cutlery cleaned up very...

"Yellow Submarine Lava Lamp"

There is nothing more collectible to me than all items Beatles. It is my biggest interest, and I am an avid collector of their memorabilia, both old and new. I would like to tell you about one of my favorite pieces and something you can still find out there. In the late 1990's, the company that oversees all things Beatles, Apple Corp. released a large amount of products with the fab four in, on or around it. You name it, they have it. Everything from underwear to salt and pepper shakers (yes I have both). But my favorite in the collectio...

"Black Decker AS600 6-Volt Cordless Screwdriver "

The Black and Decker AS600 6-Volt Alkaline Battery Cordless Screwdriver is a useful tool to have around your home. My wife and I use this for simple household fixes that need to be made quickly and wit ease. The unit uses 4 AA batteries, and the batteries last quite a while. We got a full day's use of hanging pictures, screwing and unscrewing toys to fix with ease around the house. Despite the small, compact size this tool works with a lot of power. It is deceptively small. I use this tool for many household jobs that I was always search...

"Ray-Ban 2509 glasses"

Ray-Ban prescription glasses are my newest prescription of choice. I recently purchased these from Sears, they are my first new perscription in 4 years, it was definitely time for a change!I found these glasses to be my favorite after literally looking at 100 different styles, shapes and colors. These glasses are very flexible, they are perfect for a dad like me with little hands around that love to reach and pull off glasses. They bend easy on the arms of the frame, and do not break. This is by far the best part of the glasses.<...

"Electric Boot Warmers"

For those who can't enjoy time on a snowmobile, there is usually one sound, simple complaint...IT IS TOO COLD! But what if there was a way to keep that from becoming true?There is a product on the market called Hot Shots insole electric boot warmers. Now even though snowmobile time is not my area of interest, snow skiing is. And when you walk into a ski shop, you see and try all the new things. This is one of them. Basically, they can plug into the electrical system of the snowmobile and then insole sits inside yo...

"Total Gym 14000"

The Total Gym 14000 is an all-in-one piece of exercise equipment that is used for the home and rehabilitation settings to provide strengthening. I have used it in a rehabilitation setting, and can speak to it from there. The system comes with a variety of exercise already established in a handout/booklet, and is easy to follow with the pictures in it. The Total Gym will strengthen both the upper and lower body, but I found it most effective for the lower extremities and core strengthening. The machine is not easy, using your body weight at v...

"Numark DM 1001X Battle Turntables"

The Numark DM 1001X Battle Turntable setup is the perfect dual turntable and mixer for the amateur beginner looking to get into DJ or battle mixing. The setup of the dual turntables is fairly easy, and the Numark system provides all the necessary cable connections to make it available to use right out of the box. The system comes with a pair of headphones, but I do find them to be cheap and hard to hear-I recommend buying an upgrade pair. The Numark setup is missing good slipcovers, needles and a microphone, other wise it is fairly complete ...

"Titleist Golf Balls"

The Titleist Pro V1 golf ball is a high level, tour type golf ball that is a bit out of my normal price range, and is not golf balls that I would ever buy. However, when you play with someone who does, you have the opportunity to use a ball or two and get a feel for them. I chose to review this ball because it stands out from any I have ever used before. It is called the Pro 392, and that number calls out its 392 dimples giving a larger coverage than normal. The ball has a very convenient marking for aim, and is just plain old ni...

"Callaway Golf Shoes"

My wife is awesome. For father's day this year, I got gold lessons, and a brand new pair of golf shoes. I had the whole store to pick, and after looking into some different shoes, there was only one good pair for me. I settled on the best name in shoes, the Callaway golf shoe. The particular style I got was the Sport M398. This shoe is black mostly with a little bit of brown on the back of the shoe. The Style is lace up and simple, and is an all-leather show. Benefits, this shoe is waterproof which as any golfer will tell you...

I have been married now for going on seven years. I have found that in those years, the wedding band my wife picked has been a real part of who I am, in a great way.My wife went to Jared's and found this wedding band. It is both yellow and white gold and it a simple band with decorate rope/weave in the center of it. The weave is nicely done, very detailed and excellent in the work-it is not a simple band! I love this ring, it is a part of me and it has held up to abuse, dings and any types of physical work. But th...

"Physioball Exercise Ball 65cm size"

For your home gym and exercise setup, the cheapest and most effective piece of equipment you can buy is a Physioball Exercise Ball. I personally use the 65 cm size, you may need larger or smaller based on your height and body weight. This ball comes with an instructional DVD to show you a variety of core strengthening exercises that vary from easy to very challenging. I find that the exercise I get on the ball is great for toning my abdominal and lower back muscles, and works on my coordination/balance also. The ball blows up easy with a com...

"Black Diamond Yoga Mat"

When it comes to yoga mats, there is simple and there is nice. A combination of the two is hard to find at a reasonable price that isn't cheap. I think I found that mat.The Black Diamond Yoga Mat provides the user with a working surface that is approximately 2 feet by 6 feet. The mat I tried was grey/charcoal in color, and had a smooth surface to lay/exercise on. The best part of this yoga mat is the underside-it is thick, comfortable and sticky. How is it sticky? It is a non-stick surface on the bottom that keeps it in place...

"Aquaflex Paddles"

Aquatic therapy is a great tool for strength training, especially for those with lower-level endurance or strength levels. The strengthening is usually provdied by the water resistance, but if you add in exercise tools, you can make it even more challenging. The Aquaflex resistance paddles are used to provide the exerciser with a flat, resistant surface that flows through the water while still producing drag. The paddles are used often in rehabilitation aquactic therapy sessions, and I have found them to be very useful for people...

The Beatles, as I have mentioned before, are my choice of collectables and interest. I have a large variety of collectables, and all of them are special to me for various reasons. But the neon sign I have is unique in its qualities.I recieved this as a gift from a friend a few years back. It is constructed out of glass, and the back of it is painted black. The Beatles, in full 1966 cartoon form are etched into the glass, and when pluged in, the light neon light emits a cool reflection on the back of it showing the chara...

The Toro Ultra 12 Amp electric blower and vacuum is the main tool you will find me using this fall when our Midwest leaves start to fall. This blower is a great tool that helps to clear my driveway, sidewalk and front yard easily. The unit is lightweight and easy to move around, which is nice for my smaller wife to handle. The unit quickly switches from blower to vacuum-I use this often once I have blown all the leaves tot he same area. I found that the leaves I rounded up are shredded well and placed in the large bag, that easily transfers ...

The dynadisc is a simple, small piece of exercise equipment that is used in a yoga, pilates environment and also in a rehabilitation setting, which is more where my experience will come from. The dynadisc balance disc is a small plastic disc about the size of your foot and approximately 6-7 inches in thickness. It is filled with air, and provides an unstable surface to attempt to balance on while performing exercises in a single leg position. Most often, this is a very successful and useful tool for neuromuscular rehabilitation, ...
