The story behind the TRX (don’t all these fitness products have interesting stories behind them nowadays?) is that it was developed by a former US Navy SEAL. The goal was to have a fitness program that would be workable with a minimal amount of equipment, and the TRX, manufactured by Fitness Anywhere aims to do just that. It’s a simple, light, easy to carry product that can truly work almost anywhere. The product itself is a lightweight resistance-belt that can be attached to anything- a door, tree branch, anything, and can be used to do hundreds of different exercises, all in a package that weighs less than 2 lbs.

The TRX uses what they call leveraged bodyweight exercise, or resistance training. Basically, it uses your own body weight to provide the resistance needed to give your body a workout. Now this system is unique in that unlike conventional workouts, you can’t target specific muscles to work on. Rather, the system works your core more, delivering more functional workouts that boost balance, speed and agility. This results in less physique micro-sculpting, but on the plus side, the vigor of the exercises builds a truly athletic physique.

The TRX comes in a variety of packages custom-made for different fitness goals. Featuring two different belts, one regular and one military with a plethora of workout books and DVDs coming with the package, prices range from $140 to almost $300.

The YuDu is a complete package screen printing system.  You know when you go to those stores when you can get shirts made, either with someones name or a symbol or something they like.  Well this functions the same way.  You can personalize anything you want including, t-shirts, coats, purses, cards, and more.  All of this from the comfort of your own home, ad it can sit right on your table.

It is easy to use, and you can use it on pretty much any material.  Use it on glass, metals, woods, plastic, vinyl, and of course clothing and fabrics.  You can make shirts, wedding invitations, or jump on the Twilight bandwagon and create your own I Love Twilight sticker, shirts or stamps.

You get so many little add ons with your YuDu system.  You get an image CD, a DVD that tells you how to work it, a user guide, transparencies, emulsion sheets, a squeegee, basic ink colors, an emulsion remover, and a free t-shirt.  That is a great deal.  All of your friends will be over making their own clothes, or using their creativity to its fullest. This complete package for only $33.

So grab a YuDu, and give it a try.  I am sure you will love yours just as much as I do, it has made special occasions fun again, and has taught my children the true meaning of Christmas, and how to utilize their imaginations again.

The product uses Slendertone’s patented Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology that transmit electronic signals through the gel-pads and stimulates nerve endings along the three main ab muscles. The package comes with the all-important toning belt, as well as the added set of gel pads and three AAA batteries. Overall, this is not much different from the variety of abdominal toning belts currently on the market.

So what features does this belt have? It has a variable intensity dial, with a whopping 100 different intensity levels and seven different programs. This is important for those who want greater control over the Flex Pro and manage exactly how much they are working.

Any of us who have used these products before know how useful it is to have variable settings, and having the ability to dial it down is very useful. But it’s not just that, it’s also that the amount of control you can have over your routine, adding to it a sense of precision that just isn’t there with most other products of this kind.

The belt itself is great- durable, fastens securely, easy to carry and discreet. It was also easy to use and comfortable There were a few downsides though- the gel pads need to be replaced- definitely something to consider before buying the product, as it adds to the cost of the product, and the costs can certainly add up if you’re a frequent user.

If like many others, you lead a busy life, or would love to skip the physical toll of conventional ab workouts, the $99.99 Flex Pro will be right for you. Just don’t forget to buy more gel pads when you run out.

The Cozy is a premium comfort system that is perfect for anyone who does a bit of travelling.  In fact, anyone would appreciate a little comfort now and then, and The Cozy is perfect.  I know my dad would love this because he has afternoon naps and always looks so uncomfortable.  So I think I will get him one of these.

Handcrafted from thick fleece, it comes with a neck pillow, arm hammock, and a large blanket.  The arm hammock has a convenient iPocket for all your technological devices, and a neat carrying case making it easier to travel with.  As a free gift you get this eye mask with massaging beads, and I cannot sleep without mine now.  You will also get an inflatable travel pillow insert, and a nice fleece scarf.

Now at first I thought I would look ridiculous in this thing, and it looks like you are wearing a straight jacket, but the position is actually really comfortable, and so who cares what you look like, people will envy your comfort.  So give it a try.  It is easy to order, and inexpensive.  Once you give it a try, I am sure you will understand where i am coming from, and do not be shy to let me know how you felt about The Cozy.
