Omron HJ-112 Digital Premium Pedometer

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Categories
from: Omron

June 15, 2005
I have tried several pedometers over the last couple of years. I found this one to be easy to program and use. The numbers are big enough it can be read easily without my glasses. I have tested against other machines to see the accuracy of my numbers and found it to be right on the mark. I loved it so much I have bought one for my walking partner!

Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Categories
from: Omron

July 01, 2005
I bought this about 6 months ago and it died. It all started about 2 days after i bought it. Whenever i would hit the big button to turn on the light on the watch it would make the numbers impossible to see. I thought it was a normal reaction to dying batteries, so i replaced them (I had just received the watch). That seemed to fix the problem for about 1 week. then it started to get worse and worse. I replaced the battery 2 more times (making this bargain watch less bargain). Then yesterday it died completely when i tried to turn on the light on the watch. I will go with a polar next time. it may be more expensive, but my friends who have them are still using them while i am burying mine in the back yard in a solemn ceremony tonight. 'Ave Maria'

Barry's Boot Camp is absolutely AMAZING!! It is the best at-home workout I have ever tried! Not to mention it saves you a lot of time!! I am a graduate student, so I don't have much free time, but these workouts easily fit into my hectic schedule. My arms got toned, and I lost inches off my waist and my thighs in just under 2 months!! I started seeing results in about 2 weeks. To top it all...ITS FUN!!! I RECOMMEND THIS WORKOUT FOR ALL FITNESS LEVELS!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

Valeo Burst Resistant 65cm Body Ball (Green)

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Categories
from: Valeo

April 15, 2008
I found this ball and pump to be of poor quality. And, though it said 65cm on the box, it only wanted to inflate to about 55cm. Just to accomplish this, I had to use a foot pump that I'd received a couple of months earlier with the purchase of an Altus exercise ball. By the time this Valeo ball got to 55cm it was very very full. And, again, the box said 65cm. I'm returning this ball and ordering another Altus.

Stamina 15-0120 InStride Cycle XL

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Categories
from: Stamina


I didn't have high hopes for this dirt cheap exercise machine and it didn't even manage to live up to those. Basically this machine is useless unless you find a way to anchor it to the floor and/or are too small to actually move it. My intention was to use it at the office under my desk but I couldn't make it stay put no matter what I tried. In addition, the difficulty setting mechanism is impossible to use and has only two levels - frictionless and stuck. Overall this was a big disappointment and I ended up returning it (thanks to Amazon for the great return policy). In two words - don't bother.

Omron HJ-151 Hip Pedometer for Aerobic Activity

from: Omron

I used this for about 2 months before one of the screws holding the clip on fell off. A few days later it stopped counting steps. This is the second Omron pedometer I've owned that eventually stopped working. They work fabulously for awhile and have excellent features, but like most things today, they don't last.

I love this monitor. It is a little slow to start, be sure to wet the strap first. Once you start your warm up it gets going. My favorite fitness tool! I won't exercise without it. It's a great purchase for the price.

Sissel Pilates Mini Ball, Purple, 9 Inch

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Categories
from: SisselTM


I purchased this ball with the recommended mini air pump from the vendor Sissel recently. The mini air pump is a piece of junk --- came with no instruction at all, and a needle that can not be fitted to the pump. The ball looks bad as well --- well as you cannot use the pump as they advertised, you have to use a straw to inflate it.
I'm so disappointed with these products that I want to return them -- however, I was told by the C.R. that I'm not going to be refunded for the freight cost ($6.49) and I have to ship it back out of my own pocket --- and you can imagine how cheap the company is. Better just go to some local sports store and buy a better pilates ball.

Ironman Gravity 1000 Inversion Table

October 01, 2007
I bought this product based on the recommendation of the reviews posted on Amazon. My product arrived today. I am very pleased. Although this is the less expensive unit it is all that I want and more. I do not see why I would want to spend more money when this product is more than adequate.

The materials and quality are top-notch. I found assembly to be a snap and I'm not usually a mechanical type person.

I was recently diagnosed with multiple bugling discs and S1 nerve compression. I am currently in physical therapy without much relief. I have not yet experienced the benefits of this device as I just received it today. My back is so tight that I did not experience much movement while hanging upside down for 5 minutes.
