I bought these New Balance Cross Trainers last year.  I have heard many people say that this brand was the best shoes they have ever owned.  I must agree with them.  They are very comfortable and have great support inside the shoe.  I would really like the New Balance company to add some color to the cross trainers in the future.  I like a white shoe but with some blue ...

In the dorm I'm living at, they have this model of Elliptical in the fitness room. It is a pretty decent elliptical. One thing that I really like is that it is quiet. I like listening to music while I workout so if a machine is really loud it can get distracting. It also has a heart monitor but one thing that I do not like about it is that the heart monitors are only placed on the stationar...

After having owned many infommercial fitness products, I finally found one that is easy to use and performs just like on the commercial. The Body by Jake Gravity Force Trainer is a wonderful piece of exercise equipment. It has 7 basic exercises that workout the entire body in just 20 minutes. You just sit on the large cushioned seat and adjust the steel pins to the weight that suits you. It com...

This boxing bag is the best one going around. When I was talking to the salesman I wasn't sure which one to buy and he insisted that I should buy this one. Maybe because it was the most expensive one there, or it's actually good. I'd say both. It's really expensive but its really good and really easy to use. Most other boxing bags are really hard to use and hard to set up, becau...

I've owned a Bosu Balance trainer for over a year now. The design is great for developping core strength and balance. I highly recommend it for athletes who want to succeed in their sport. The Bosu is very easy to assemble. This item comes with an Air Pump, Assembly Instructions and also a booklet with excercises that can be done on the bosu. In most sports balance ...

Avent makes sippy cups that are free or low in bisphenol-A (which has been shown to be toxic).  In replacing all my sippy cups, I decided to try the Avent Magic Training Cup.  The cup has handles, which make it easy for little ones just learning to use a sippy cup to grasp.  The spout is soft and long, making it easy for them to transition from a bottle to this cup. I had several...

After Christmas I was at Target hitting the clearance sales and I found this Franklin Soccer Trainer on clearance (so I am unsure of regular price).  Basically it is this net that you place a soccer ball in and it has a bungee that leads to a piece that easily attaches around the waist.  It is so someone can have hands free soccer training.  It keeps the ball close but also stret...

I can't afford a game system with Brain Age but I think I've found the next best thing for under $12.00.I believe exercising my brain is vital to staying young and on my "A" game for work.  That's why I downloaded Advanced Brain Trainer for two different PDAs (Sony Clie and Palm TX).  This is more than a game but truly helps keep you thinking quickly, logically a...

The only thing that I have to say about the ProForm XP Trainer 580 is phenomenal. OK in my young day's I was a pretty chubby kid so I asked my parents if my parents and I could chip in to get the ProForm XP Trainer 580 and we agreed to do that, and thanks to this baby I lost about 45 pounds in 7 months and boy was I glad that we got this machine. Ok let me begin by saying that the reason I ...

I want to write a little review on my trainers, these are the famous Reebok, which usually cost a small fortune. I found mine in a little local High Street shoe shop, and because they were not "This year's design" I managed to get them for £25, a very good price indeed. The colour of mine is black, in my opinion the most practical colour. The size is a nine, and they really ...

I did a review on a pair of trainers I bought, and because they were so comfortable, and cheap, I decided to go for another pair. My mistake was choosing a white pair, although they are kept fr "Best", they are showing up dirt aready, see the pic (assuming I managed to load it OK).The shoes are lace up of course, with very good quality laces, which are so simple to tie ...

This trainer allows you to cycle indoors during the off season on your own bike, with a tension similar to the feel of riding on a road rather than like an exercise bike.This was a gift and I can’t determine exactly what model it is.  It appears to be most like the current Minoura Mag 850D Trainer, which retails for $220.This is a simple triangular framed stand that lifts the back wh...

One of the most annoying sounds in the world to me is a barking dog. I don't mean a dog barking at a stranger or a dog barking at another dog passing the yard. I mean a dog that barks almost constantly for no apparent reason. My former neighbor had such a dog. Bark, bark, bark, all day and all night. So when I saw this pet training device in a catalog I ordered one. This device is about the...

I like Baron Baptiste.  I think he's an aquired taste, in the sense that he grows on you after a while and then a workout seems weird without his lilting voice.  It's almost like, "Wait, I can't move.  Where's Baron?"That said, I do expect him at any moment to burst out with "Hey dude, surf's up!"  There is something both comforting an...

I have been an avid runner for over 10 years and have chosen asics to take me all the way to the finish line eveytime. They have always held up under the tough conditions I put them through and their comfort is great. As of late, DS Trainers are the shoe I am going with due to the light weight design. They offer everything that is important to me as a runner... Comfort, performance, durabil...

When I was younger I suffered a serious back injury. Since then, it's been very easy to hurt my back, because I have arthritis. This has made it difficult for me to find a workout that didn't hurt my back. After seeing the Gazelle on TV, I decided that it would probably be my best option.When I first got my Gazelle Edge Trainer, I found the workout so easy I actually worked out too much...

I loved the iFit workouts idea the moment I was introduced to the it: pre-programmed, recorded sessions work together with your fitness equipment, like treadmill or elliptical, automatically adjusting your speed and resistance as the trainer talks to you, coaching you and explaining what’s going on. It is like having a personal trainer! I also love the nice energetic music, it helps...

As a young student, my cooking skills is very limited. And I knew that my cooking barely ever ended up tasting very nice. That is why I never cook for anyone and I still don’t! Once my friend told me about a game that came out in Europe called Cooking Guide where we can actually make the food and not lust for bright colored food like in Cooking Mama. I have to say that purchasing this ga...

The Eyetoy Kinetic by Sony is a fantastic game for Playstation 2. This game is not only completely interactive, but its a fitness trainer as well.Consumers are able to chose between different trainers, backdrops, music selections and activities to better personalize the workout experience. The training regimes are based upon personal fitness levels and you can even keep track of your weight los...

After realizing that I spent most of my time at the gym using an elliptical trainer, I decided to purchase one for myself.  I tried many models and decided on the Horizon Kinetic Elliptical Trainer. This is an awesome elliptical trainer. Very solid, great quality at this price! The guiderails retract for easier storage, and features front wheels to allow you to move it easily. The han...
