shop for your home fitness equipment

How do you regularly stay fit, healthy and flexible? A hale and hearty diet of nutritious fruits and vegetables is the key as well as regular and continuous exercise.

The best exercise is one that you are really and sincerely going to be working out on, be it push-ups, stretches, jumping jacks or the regular jogging or the much tamer walking. However, there are people who prefer to work out using home fitness equipment in their own homes. These days, you can shop for your fitness and medical equipment at the click of the mouse. Allegro Medical may be just the place you like to search for in terms of wide product selections and flexible offerings. You can shop by category, by brand or by health condition, from heart monitor to breastfeeding pillow to blood pressure monitor!

I like a pull up bar

My leg magic is working great. Other than yesterday, I have been on it everyday for 2-3 minutes (1 minute interval) and it looks like I'm on my way for nicer legs by the time we leave for Hawaii -lolz! Well, I'm back to using my stretch band and rebounder, that's the nice thing about having a home gym; you save on traveling time to the gym and don't need to worry about parking and traffic. But I may consider getting one of the Pull Up Bars since it's a great equipment to exercise and tone those arm and shoulder muscles. I remembered doing well when I was in school on those pull ups exercises. I don't know about you but I definitely don't want 'bye bye' arms - that means, flabs on arms when you wave. Pull up bars are so easy to install in homes these days. Light and portable, you can even travel with it and they are so affordable.

Get those sexy legs with Leg Magic!

All in the name of fitness and vanity... last Friday, we bought the Leg Magic Machine. What is that? You wonder. Well, this is a machine that helps to work towards those sexy legs in a month! All you need is a minute, a few times a day on the Leg Magic and the lateral gliding motion helps to work the muscles on those inner and outer thighs as well as those hard to tone buttocks and abs!

At first, I found it hard to believe so I got on the Leg Magic and tried it out. In just 30 secs, I could feel that my inner thighs were tired. I was feeling a little embarrassed but knew this was one cool machine to tone up those muscles before I head to Hawaii in December!

For the past 2 days, I could only manage 2 minutes (with intervals) and I could feel the aches this morning - ouch! Unlike the stepper or a stationary bicycle which you can use for 20-30 minutes, it is not possible to do the Leg Magic for 20 minutes. You could not do the Leg Magic for 2 minutes. But what I like about it is you can do the Leg Magic with the TV, place it in the kitchen while waiting for your soup to boil or put it in the home office when you need that time out from the computer. Priced at $130, Leg Magic is portable and can be set up in seconds and be folded away for easy storage. If you are keen, Click on the Image below to learn more.

get your Tae Bo AMPED now!

I just learnt about Tae Bo program yesterday. Founder of Tae Bo, Billy Blanks has such an inspiring story to tell. I was surprised to hear that even DH knew about Tae Bo fitness programs.

In Korean language, “Tae” means “foot and leg” and “Bo” actually refers to “box” in short. This is a no-nonsense program that uses a combination of exercises including self-awareness and control of martial arts, the focus and strength of boxing, and the grace and rhythm of dance to provide you an overall body workout.

Tae Bo programs focus on the physical as well as the mental aspects of your entire being. It is not just about losing those weight but the program helps you to develop self-confidence, discipline, develop speed, strength and the ability to quicken your reflexes. I spent some time on watching the animated and exciting video - the testimonials were great. I have friends who are health conscious, who buy anything related to health, including pulse oximeter, I am definitely recommending the Billy Blanks' Tae Bo AMPED to them!

So, if you are serious about losing those unwanted pounds or to get in shape, Get Tae Bo AMPED now!

Here is Billy Blanks’ Tae Bo AMPED

Get Active - Exercise!

I used to be an exercise ‘freak’ before I became a mum. I’m familiar with gym classes and going to the gym was part of my lifestyle.

Somehow, parenting commitments have affected my fitness priorities and I am still working on fitting a gym class into my current schedule.

Research has shown that your longevity is increased by two hours for every hour of exercise. Isn’t that powerful? I am a believer of being active and regular exercise. It helps lift my spirit up, improves my mood and most of all, keeps me healthy.

And I even read that exercise helps to eliminate constipation!

The benefits of exercise are more than this post can contain. To name some to keep in mind:

• It produces stronger bones, ligaments and tendons

• Enhances posture, posie and physique

• Strengthens heart functions

• Improves oxygen delivery throughout the body

• Lowers blood pressure

• Reduces heart disease risk

• Prevents osteoporosis

• Improves immune function

• Helps lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides

• Increases endurance and energy levels

• Helps reduce tension and anxiety

• Relaxes and improves sleep

Going to a gym seems to be a 'trendy' thing lately. Lots of fitness centres have opened up in the last 3 years. Big names such as Fitness First and California fitness, and the latest hype, yoga centres.

A good friend of mine just signed up a personal training course to get all trimmed for her wedding next May. Personal training isn't a new thing among fitness women these days. And this is especially ideal for anyone struggling to lose weight or needed someone to offer motivation and professional training guidance.

Apart from exercise, diet is equally important if you are working towards losing weight.

For exercise to be truly effective and enjoyable, it must not be a ‘burden’. Find something fun to do. Enjoy it! It doesn’t need to be vigorous. Focus on the word: Activity, not exercise.
