Get moving with the Fitnation - Flex Bike Ultra


If you're anything like me when you hear the words "exercise bike" you probably cringe. The images of an old style "stationary" bike as many have called them is one I have trouble getting out of my mind when I hear exercise bike. I flash back to my mom peddling away in our family room and hearing the sounds of the wheels spinning around. Not that it was traumatizing or anything, it's just an image and sound I remember from my childhood. And one that left me thinking an exercise bike was not for me. I mean who wants to peddle and peddle and never go anywhere!? Of course fast forward to adulthood (and middle-age belly) and I now understand why one would want to perform such a daunting task. I could also write about the limitations of actual cycling and hauling your bike places. For example, there's a ton of gear (i.e. vehicle protection) you need to maintain cleanliness when toting a bike back and forth.


The idea still makes me want to cringe, but not so much now that I have a Fitnation - Flex Bike Ultra. Now bare with me as I sound like an infomercial here for a minute. The Fitnation - Flex Bike Ultra is so much more than an exercise bike. Not only can you peddle for exercise, you can also use the upper-body resistance bands to strengthen your upper arms at the same time. Now you're working on more than one part of your body at the same time. And you can even sit in different positions to further work your body. For instance you can lean back and hold the handlebars at the sides of your body, you can sit upright while using the upper-body resistance bands, or you can lean forward and hold the handlebars with the hand pulse functionality. Now tell me what old school stationary bike can do that? The bike has an LCD display with six functions: speed, time, distance, scan, calories, and pulse. All of the basics you'd want to know while riding.


The part I like best about the Fitnation - Flex Bike Ultra is that it even has an app to go with the bike from the maker Echelon. Finally a place to learn how to actually put a piece of exercise equipment to proper, and good use. Yeah you can hop on any bike and start riding, but if you're not using it to it's full potential it's honestly not doing you that much good. With the Echelon app you can follow right along with a professional either live or via videos that you can access 24/7 right from you phone or tablet! Now I can exercise at my convenience, not the convenience of a gym and personal trainer...been there tried that. I want to do my exercising on my schedule in the comfort of my own home. And now I can do that anytime I like, and wearing anything I like for that matter! We love it so much I actually convinced my husband that we should get a TV to set up in the room with the bike so we can project the videos to a larger screen.

Features:
• Heavy-duty steel frame construction
• LCD display with six functions: speed, time, distance, scan, calories, and pulse
• Multiple levels of adjustable magnetic resistance
• Built-in, upper-body resistance bands
• Fixed handlebars with hand pulse functionality
• Adjustable seat with padded cushion
• Nonskid foot pedals with safety straps
• Fold-up design; wheels for easy transport

If you've been on the wall about getting an exercise bike for whatever reason I would definitely recommend the Fitnation - Flex Bike Ultra. I've been using mine for a little over a week and feel like it actually helps me stay motivated to keep working at my fitness goals.

800W Folding Electric Treadmill


I previously had a treadmill, but it took up way too much space and my space was limited so when we moved I left it behind. When I saw this folding treadmill I was pretty excited because it's so much more compact than my previous one. I like that it has so many functions built into such a compact unit. When the part you walk on is folded upright the entire unit barely takes up any space. It has a set of wheels at the front even so you can easily move it around which is super convenient if you want to move it to a closet, or from room to room. When down you don't need much room either, just enough for being able to comfortably walk, jog, or run in place. The handles are at a comfortable height and if you hold onto them while using the treadmill they will take your pulse and display it on the digital screen. If you let go of them then you will see other things like calories burned, distance, speed, and time. It even includes two places where you can keep a water bottle, music player, or other items you may want handy.

Let DripDrop keep you hydrated this summer! #Giveaway Ends 6/21


With summer being right around the corner for me it's time to start thinking about ways to protect my family. Not just in the way of sunscreen like you're probably thinking, but also hydration. Many probably don't think twice about it, but having two kids and a husband that all like to do things outdoors I think about it alot. Due to the medications my husband is on he has to be really careful to make sure he stays hydrated properly. Otherwise it means dizzy spells and feeling really sick. Trust me that's no fun when it happens. The first few times it landed us in the urgent care office because we thought there was something really wrong. Come to find out his electrolytes were just really low. Thankfully now we know the signs and how to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Dehydration is one of those things that doesn't just target one age group, it's can affect everyone out there. It especially has harsher effects on those that have other conditions that cause them to become dehydrated faster than others, like my husband. But thankfully there are ways to keep yourself properly hydrated. And even for those times when you forget to make sure you're on top of it ways to help re-hydrate your body faster. One of those ways is by using DripDrop in your water. It's an Oral Rehydration Solution that through being mixed in with your water will provide you with 3X the electrolytes. Those are what help helps to re-hydrate your body and get it back to where it belongs.

My favorite part about DripDrop is that it comes in tasty flavors and doesn't make me want to gag when I drink it. Plus it doesn't taste like pure sugar either like some of the sports drinks on the market that are supposed to help hydrate you. I can keep a few of them in the glove box of my car, my gym bag, and even my purse so it's always there in case I need it too.

Protein Energy Power - For your on-the-go lifestyle


If you're like many of us moms out there then you've had mornings where you barely have enough time to pull on some clothes, brush out your hair and get yourself out the door. Let alone sit down for a full fledged breakfast. For mornings like those I try to always be prepared with some sort of back up plan because I'm one that can't go without any breakfast at all. One of my back up plans is having a breakfast to go with a little boost. Something like a tall glass of almond milk and a few scoops of Protein Energy Power. by using the Protein Energy Power I am getting all of my well needed nutrients to start my day off right.

I also like to use Protein Energy Power as an after workout pick-me-up that I can enjoy in the car on the way home from the gym. I am really trying to get into the habit of going to the gym a few times a week so this has been a nice reward for after those workouts. I keep a chilled bottle of water with me, then just add in the Protein Energy Power after my workout and shake it up. I can enjoy it as a I cool down and relax in my car on the way home.

About:
Protein Energy Power is an exciting new option for anyone with an active lifestyle who is looking for a natural, plant-based protein supplement. Protein Energy Powder is a versatile peanut-based energy drink that is perfect for anyone with an on-the-go lifestyle – from an ideal pre- or post- workout supplement to a perfect solution for a balanced on-the-go breakfast for moms getting their kids out the door in the morning!

Protein Energy Power comes in a variety of flavors so there's something to fit everyone's unique taste preferences. I for one am looking forward to checking out their banana flavor because I think it would be really good with some chocolate milk!

Empower - Because your body is worth it!


If you have been following me long you know about a year and a half ago (beginning of 2015) I was on the Nutrisystem program and did very well with it. Lost weight and felt great. But like many others once the program was over I fell back into old habits and didn't keep the weight off. Fast forward to now and I'm giving it another go. But this time I'm going at it a totally different way. What I like to call the natural way. I'm not going to spend my time getting wrapped up in quick fixes so to speak, I'm going to go about it with goals of looking and feeling better for the long haul. One of the ways I'm doing that is through at home exercise. Yes I could go to a gym, and I actually did try out a personal trainer even. It was great to hear some useful information, but I left there feeling more discouraged than encouraged. I mean who would feel motivated when someone pushes you so hard you're in physical pain for several days after? And that's why I'm giving it a shot at home using Empower Fitness products. That and it's something I can do anytime of day without having to hop in my car and travel to town.

The two products I've started out with from them are the Cardio Core & More Weighted Hoop and the Deluxe Total Body Toning System. One thing right off I liked about these products is that they aren't over-sized so they don't take up much room. I can pull them out and use them, then put them back in my "exercise box" I made out of the way. You can even break down the hoop if you don't want to leave it together all of the time. Another thing I like is that they offer you workout guides so you're not left holding the product wondering "now what?". I don't know how many times I walked into the gym just staring at the big weight machines wondering how I was even supposed to use them. With these I have a print out that shows me photos as well as detailed explanations on how to use them in various ways. The hoop even came with a workout DVD, now that's what I'm talking about! Plus on the Empower website they have a whole section of just workout videos you can check out for inspiration too. Who says you can't gym at home? I haven't been at it too long yet because life is just now finally starting to slow down, but I feel confident this is the right path for me to go. Now to continue to fill my "exercise box" other useful exercise tools to keep me motivated and trying new things.
