Happy New Year Fun Exercise Gift - 40" Foldable Bounce Bounce Trampoline In Stock - Ship On the Same Day(5 Stars Online Store - Ezshoponline.com) Review

The thing that sold me on buying this product was the fact that the company actually listed its weight limit. A lot of the other products I looked into didn't specify their weight limit at all, so I decided on this one.

And I'm VERY gad that I did!

It was very easy to setup, folds up compactly, and it even comes with a bag to carry the trampoline when it's folded and has a pocket to insert the legs which is very convenient.

It's also very quiet. I was expecting there to be some noise involved, and didn't want to annoy the rest of the household so I had planned to use it in the garage, but it is very quiet and I found that using it in the house was not a problem at all.

It's also much more sturdy that I expected. Very well built. It's wider than I'd imagined as well. I have plenty of room to jump without feeling that I'm going to fall off.

Overall, I'd say that this is definitely worth the money.

Pro Sissy Squat Review

Want solid, defined legs? I used a sissy squat at my old gym all the time, and my legs looked and felt great. Since my current gym doesn't have one, I have been wanting to purchase one for quite some time. I hope the price comes down a bit....

Kettler Edition Axiom P2 Exercise Bike Review

I don't know where to begin!My husband and I love this bike. It came needing only a few minutes to set up and is rock solid sturdy.We can each adjust the seat and the handlebars to the PERFECT position and the gel seat is super comfy. It's amazing how quiet it is and I like how the pedals are always balanced upright. The fancy computer that is sort of technical but we easily figured everything out once we read the owner's manual. He likes to push it to the high settings for like 20 minutes while I go for long distance rides. The design is cool and at first look you can see it is club quality. Definitly recommend for anyone!

Motus USA M770EL Crosstrainer Elliptical with Fully Integrated Samsung LCD TV Review

The first time that I got to use this machine was at my local health club.
This exceptional treadmill is Stable/Sturdy, Sleek and Durable!
I watch my favorite TV programs, News or catch the game while exercising at the same time. The built in LCD TV screen, is large, bright and crystal clear.
Rather than sitting on the sofa with a bag of potato chips, this machine allows you to multi-task and enjoy your TV viewing while exercising.
Because this is a commercial grade/health club model machine is allot more comfortable and the quality feel and stride is better for you knees and joints. I suffer from Knee pain, but this machine is so exceptionally smooth that I feel almost no impact, yet what an excellent workout!!!

MuckBoots Adult Muckmaster Hi-Cut Boot Review

I work outside, in any and all weather.

My old, cheap, rubber work boots were worn out and painful to wear. This time, I wanted boots that were insulated, had a cushioned sole, and a steel shank.

I bounced all over Amazon comparing specs and reviews. The boots that seemed to qualify were all surprisingly expensive. Then I saw these, with the claim to be the "ultimate". Hard details were somewhat lacking (but they're "ultimate", right?).

Based on four days use, two of them in 3 to 8 inches of slushy, semi-frozen mud...

1-They're the most comfortable rubber boots I've had.

2-They're the warmest too. (The tag in the box says they're good to -20*.)

3-There is no shank. (The soles are thick and stiff enough that it usually won't matter. It will matter if you spend any time standing on a ladder, as I sometimes do. But, at least, they're "ultimate", right?)

4-The tag claims they wick away moisture from your feet. It seems to be true. I've felt NO dampness to my socks on removal of the boots.

5-If in doubt, go 1/2 size larger.

6-They look like Batman's superhero boots. (Style points, doncha know)

7-Check the manufacturer's site.

I feel a little silly paying this much for rubber boots, but I'm getting too old to skimp on weather protection or comfort. I'm, so far, very pleased with the performance of these boots. If I have any disappointment with their durability, I will let y'all know.

Shark Tooth Heavy Duty Mat, 3/4inch Thick Review

Recycled rubber mats are defintiely the way to go for weight room flooring needs. They will protect against any damage a dropped weight might cause. That said there are much cheaper options. Every farm and fleet type store (mill's farm and fleet, tractor supply, Blaine's ect.) sells 4/6' 3/4" cow stall mats (they weight 100 pounds) for 40 bucks. Unless you live in a large urban area (I dunno LA, NY city, San francisco or something) that doesn't have a farm supply store, I'd go with the option that is much much cheaper (especially since you don't have to pay for shipping).

Product Description:
Rubber-Cal's Shark Tooth heavy-duty recycled rubber floor mat is designed for high impact applications and abrasive conditions. Being that this material is made domestically, and of 100% recycled rubber, this mat is both a socially and ecologically responsible product. Recycled rubber is a superior material when trying to reduce noise, contain vibration, and absorb shock from workout equipment and other machinery. At 3/4 inch thick recycled rubber is thick enough to protect most floors from falling parts such as free weights and dumbbell, and machinery such as washers and dryers. Additionally, the 3/4 inch thick rubber provides superior wear life compared to thinner, light-duty matting. One of the biggest concerns commonly associated with rubber matting is the installation. This mat weighs roughly 100lbs and stays down under its own weight, therefore there is no for permanent adhesives. The Shark Tooth is a mat and is recommended for installation in spots rather than as a flooring product. Therefore, the product remains portable, and may be moved or rearranged whenever necessary.

Richard Simmons Sweating To The Oldies 5 Set Review

I owned Volume 1 for the longest time and just recently discovered that there was a 2, 3 and 4. I immediately purchased the 5 DVD set and I am NOT disappointed!! He makes working out such a blast and I love how he gives words of encouragement throughout the work out. I would recommend this to ANYONE who isn't looking for a no-nonsense boot-camp style work out. You really will work up a sweat to these videos, and you don't even notice because with the music, it feels more like dancing than exercising and before you know it, you're done!
