The SPIbelt is the perfect pouch to hold your important stuff while keeping your hands free for other things. Whether I’m working out, jogging or even shopping, I don’t want to be encumbered with bulky keys in my pocket or having to carry a bag or backpack. I prefer, instead, to use a small bag for my keys, license, and credit cards and of course, my phone.

SPI Belt

One of the reasons I chose the SPIbelt was because it has plenty of room for my iPhone 6. Not only is the SPIbelt roomy enough for my all my essentials, it provides easy accessibility to my phone without having to take everything out to get to it. My phone is a necessity for staying in touch with my family and operating my business. With a husband, three sons and a full-time business, I depend on my phone quite a bit and I really appreciate the convenience and portability that the SPIbelt offers, especially when I am working out.

I also wanted a bag that I could fasten around my waist and one that wouldn’t bounce too much when I go jogging. The SPIbelt can be adjusted tightly for the perfect fit and when I tried it out, it stayed in place throughout my run. It has a soft underside made from nylon and spandex and it felt good against my skin. There are no tags or tabs to worry with and because it doesn’t ride up, there’s no chafing from wearing the SPIbelt, even when I wear it under my top.

The SPIbelt comes in several colors. As a matter of fact, the SPIbelt comes in so many colors, it’s easy to find one to match or complement every piece of workout gear that I own. My SPIbelt is black with a hot pink zipper. There is also a pink SPIbelt with black zipper, a black SPIbelt with black zipper and a whole lot of other color combinations to choose from.

With the holidays quickly approaching, I am thinking that the SPIbelt would make a great gift. It’s fairly inexpensive and I can think of several people on my list that would love to get one of these great bags. The SPIbelt is fully adjustable to fit just about every size and it’s a great gift for any age or gender.

Skulpt Aim Review

By

I just can’t stop talking about my newest addiction. It’s totally healthy and has become a vital part of my fitness lifestyle. The Skulpt Aim is my favorite new fitness tool and I just love it. I have synced it to my phone to give me all the information I need to monitor my entire workout. It really has taken the guesswork out of my fitness program.

Skulpt Aim Review

Too often, people make Monday resolutions to lose weight that are soon forgotten by Friday. Unfortunately, the majority of women still believe that number on the scale represents their overall health. In addition to a healthy weight, muscle quality is vital to a woman’s complete health and wellbeing. As a personal trainer, I know the importance of muscle mass for women, especially as we age. That’s why I really like the Skulpt Aim, because it gives me all the information I need to monitor my muscle development and overall fitness, which I can tell you is much more important than any number on the scale.

The Skulpt Aim measures fat and muscle. It not only tells you the percentage of fat you have in your body, but also the fitness of your muscles. You can track exactly where most of your fat lies, and more importantly, the real muscle quality of 24 individual muscles.

I believe that knowledge is power. With accurate information about the quality of my muscles, I can power up my workout to make it more effective for my body. Skulpt definitely keeps me motivated and recharged.
I’m always looking for fitness motivators and ways to keep the focus on fitness, because I truly believe that fitness isn’t an on-again off-again resolution. For me, it’s a lifestyle.

As your body changes, your fitness routine should change as well. When exercises that were hard become easier, it’s time to make some changes to keep your muscles challenged. The Skulpt Aim makes it easy with integrated online tracking that syncs automatically to your personal online dashboard, tracking your results and offering advice on the best workout for your body type. It’s basically your own personal trainer. Measuring your fat and body percentages in the privacy of your home.

Fitness is a healthy lifestyle and the Skulpt Aim can be an integral part of it. It’s my healthy new addiction, I look forward to using it everyday. Take my advice and give it a try, the Skulpt Aim is guaranteed to hook you for life.

The Combo Mat – A Comfy, Stylish Yoga Mat

By

Practicing yoga has always brought me a sense of inner peace and wellness. I always look forward to classes or even practicing at home. No matter where I am working out, I wholeheartedly believe in using a mat when performing any floor exercises. The problem I’ve found with vinyl mats is I slip and slide, especially as I sweat. To keep from slipping and sliding, I use a towel, which means I have to keep up with both the towel and the mat during my workout. I also waste a lot of precious time straightening out my towel and wiping down the mat. So, when I found the Combo Mat, an ultra cool yoga mat that is a mat and towel all-in-one, I was delighted.

I couldn’t wait to try it out at my next class. My yoga workout went really well and I liked the fact that I wasn’t spending time and energy straightening out my towel every few minutes. The new Combo Mat grips me tighter as I work up a sweat, so I don’t slip and slide and I don’t have to worry with wiping the mat off in the middle of the workout.

The Combo Mat, as it is perfectly named, features an ultra cool chevron pattern in bright colors that goes with all my work out gear. It’s covered with a silky-smooth microfiber material on top that’s completely bonded to a natural tree rubber base, which is very cushy. This mat offers all the benefits of a sweat-thirsty towel and a comfy, cushioned yoga mat in one. I especially like the fact that it is easy to clean with a quick wipe down and can be tossed in the washing machine for a thorough cleaning.

The Combo Mat is extra long, too. I measured it at 70” in length, and I had plenty of room to move about. When I finished with my workout, it didn’t take long to roll the mat up and head for the door. It’s lightweight, weighing only 4 pounds, and it comes with a handy carrying strap that can be thrown over your shoulder to keep your hands free for other stuff.

AminoRip® 15g Pure Collagen Protein Review

AminoRip®

I really enjoy eating healthy foods and believe in getting my daily vitamins and nutrients from the food that I eat. However, because I exercise daily, I need enough protein to help rebuild and repair my muscles after a strenuous workout. You know, the body doesn’t store protein but relies on it to build
all the cells in the body, that’s why it’s important to eat a serving of protein at every meal.

In order to maintain my weight, I’m always searching for lean sources of protein. That’s how I first found out about AminoRip® 15g Pure Protein. A predigested protein supplement that contains no fat, no cholesterol and no sugar yet fortifies my body with 100% of all essential and non-essential amino acids.

Surfing their website, I read all about the science behind AminoRip15 and was pleasantly pleased. AminoRip® 15g Pure Collagen Proteins Essential and non-essential amino acids are absorbed instantly because the protein supplement is predigested. This sounded like a fantastic way to get the benefits of protein, instantly.

So, I decided to give this supplement a try and report back to all of you on my findings.

I tried AminoRip® 15g Pure Collagen Protein for 30 days and was pleased with the results. After taking it for a few days, I felt like I had more energy. I’m very active and have plenty of vitality but AminoRip® 15g Pure Protein seemed to boost my energy level without making me feel jittery or nervous.

A small one-ounce serving gave me 15 grams of pure collagen protein, and I tried it twice a day for 30 days. Once in the morning and once in the evening, made me not only feel better during the day but also helped me to sleep better at night.

According to their website it’s been used by health professionals for years and now is available for athletes and active adults to make sure they get the protein their bodies need daily. It’s supposed to allow you to train harder and longer, while decreasing soreness post exercise. You will also see positive changes in your hair, skin and nails!

As a Personal Fitness Trainer, I train hard and long several times a week, it seemed that after taking AminoRip® 15g Pure Protein, I was getting more from my workout. Considering the benefits I felt I was getting from taking AminoRip® 15g Pure Collagen Protein, I plan to keep it in my arsenal of health and fitness products and use it again.

ActiveWrap

ActiveWrap

I always recommend stretching and warming the muscles before exertion in order to avoid injuries. However, sometimes during exercise, sports or even everyday tasks, muscles can become overstressed and injuries may occur. The discomfort from the injury can get in the way of a successful fitness program. That’s when it helps to have some hot and cold therapy to relieve the pain.

Cold therapy helps with discomfort by reducing swelling from injury. Ice packs or bags of ice can be used but in order to walk around, the ice packs need to be strapped to the body, usually by means of plastic wrap and tape. It’s almost impossible to engage in exercise or in sports level activities when using this means of cold therapy.

Hot therapy encourages blood flow and helps to reduce soreness in muscles and joints. Hot showers or baths, whirlpools or heating pads are some effective types of hot therapy, however none of these allow for activity. That’s why I was interested in trying out the ActiveWrap. Just like the name implies, this wrap protects vulnerable joints and muscles during activity, and there is an ActiveWrap to cover everything from ankles to wrists and many of the muscles in between.

Each wrap includes reusable heat and ice packs that fit easily inside a pocket that is conveniently tucked inside the durable compress wrap. Wide, soft compression straps allow for a tight fit to target the heat or cold directly to the injury.

I tried one on and adjusted the straps so that it fit nice and tight. The hot/cold packs weren’t bulky and slipped easily into position within an inner pocket away from my skin. The packs seemed to rest comfortably on the targeted area without getting in the way of my motion. I didn’t have an injury, so I can’t say if it alleviated any pain. However I know many people who have muscle and joint pain and they might benefit from the ActiveWrap without having to give up on their fitness program.

I can see how wearing an ActiveWrap even after a strenuous workout could be quite beneficial. Using hot or cold therapy after exercise can help to reduce swelling and speed the recovery of over fatigued muscles.

I would recommend the ActiveWrap to anyone interested in a more convenient means of hot/cold therapy, especially those who enjoy staying active.
