Bowflex SelectTech 1090 Single Dumbbell

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Nutrition and Fitness
from: Bowflex


I recently bought a set of Bowflex SelectTech 1090 dumbbells; used. I recently cancelled my gym membership and needed a cheaper alternative to stay in shape. I decided to invest in my own gym equipment; free weights, bench, pull up bar, etc. I looked into adjustable dumbbells (power blocks, selecttech, etc.) but decided to go with the SelectTech 1090s. So far, I have not been disappointed.

Although these ARE bulky, they are do not FEEL bulky when I lift. The grips (all metal) are discomforting at higher weights (i.e. shoulder shrugs at 70 lbs), but a good pair of work out gloves does the trick. Another drawback is that when you lift heavy, it is sometimes a little difficult to place it back in the holder; I put them back 1 ... Read More:

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Natural Whey, Chocolate, 5.13-Pound Tub

Guess I'm trading off the taste to go with a natural sweetener, because this stuff is really boring tasting. Makes drinking protein a chore. Other brands like Met-Rx Size Up actually tasted good enough to make me want to drink it throughout the day.

Healing Arts by Gaiam 65cm Beginner Balance Ball Kit

The ball works like I expected, but slowly leaks air. You need to keep a tab on it else it'll gradually shrink and become squishier.

The video was very short and didn't really provide as full of a workout as I would've liked.

I'll be venturing with other brands to see if I can find better quality once this one gives out.

Teeter Hang Ups Gravity Boots

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Nutrition and Fitness
from: Teeter Hang Ups


I bought a pair of these in 1992 for training purposes. They worked great until last year when one broke. No big deal since they lasted as long as they did under extensive use, ~15 years! I am 6'2" 220lbs. and these babies survived a lot of punishment for a while.

I just recently purchased a new pair because there is nothing like inverted crunches to chisel your abdominals. The other plus is that they really help to decompress my spine after workouts. Great simple tools that last a long time are always good in my book. Enjoy!

DaVinci Tool

from: DaVinci


May not look like much - but looks can be deceiving - this thing is wonderful! Over the last twenty years I've purchased many devices in the $20-$60 range to work on my back (between massages and spinal adjustments). The Davinci Tool has the most versatility. It allows me to stretch muscles and release tension in all areas of my back like no other gizmo I've ever tried. Various times I've had issues with my neck or around my shoulder blades, mid-back or lower back; I can maneuver the DaVinci Tool edge/angle/point to just the right spot. It's well worth the price. My massage therapist daughter thinks it's a cool tool too!

As someone who doesn't eat meat, I just wish the soft capsule wasn't made from BEEF.
