Customer Review: Workout works, but has quirks
Yourself! Fitness is a very impressive achievement, but it does have some, shall we say, quirks that you will need to learn to work with. I’ll list out the problems that I’ve had, and hopefully some workarounds that might help you get the most out of this package. 1. Maya doesn’t keep in sync with the music. Maya does okay, but she does tend to have a difficult time staying with the music; my suggestion would be to keep track of which exercises you are doing, and use the animation as a reference for the proper form, but don’t try to stay in sync with her movements or they may throw you off. 2. Maya doesn’t always give you enough time to catch up. When switching exercises, she will usually give a verbal explanation of the exercise she wants you to do. The problem is, by the time the explanation is complete, you’re half-way through the allotted time, and you haven’t really done any reps yet. Therefore, you tend to not have enough time to do the actual reps before you’re on to the next exercise. The trick is to learn the exercises well enough so that you can ignore her explanations and go straight to the reps. You can pause the game and get a tutorial on any of the exercises; if you find yourself falling behind, I highly recommend doing this so that you get enough out of your workout. Otherwise, you should just accept that you’ll be a little confused during your first few times through, but eventually you’ll catch on. 3. Maya doesn’t really adjust the difficulty, even though she says she will. By the end of the warmup exercises, my heartrate tends to be around 170, which is way too high. After that segment, Maya pauses and asks me how I did. I always tell her I couldn’t keep up. She says that she will adjust the difficulty of similar segments in the future, but she never does; if anything, those segments have been getting MORE challenging lately. Therefore, if you do have heart-rate problems like I do, then you might find that you have to rein in your enthusiasm during the warmups and kick a little lower, raise your arms a little less, etc. I always feel like I’m cheating when I have to do that, but that’s what I have to do in order to keep up. 4. Some exercises are not challenging enough. You may find that some of the exercises are not going to work for you if you have a decent amount of upper-body strength. My suggestion would be to learn which exercises they are (like “Lift Sequence” which is a set of biceps curls without weights), and make sure you have some dumbbells or heavier hand-weights nearby to enhance these exercises; for example, some of the curls and lateral raises really require more resistance to be effective. I’ve also found that the “Swim” stretches are not particularly useful for me, so I would suggest substituting “Supermans” for those if the “Swim” is too easy. It will take a little work to figure out which exercises are going to be beneficial to you, and which are a waste of time, so be prepared to make adjustments on the fly. Also, since you don’t have anyone observing you to ensure that you are keeping proper form, you have to be very self-aware as to which muscles you are attempting to work out; if a particular stretch is too easy, it’s quite possible that you’re not doing it right, and you might want to go through the tutorial and make some adjustments. 5. Some exercises might be physically impossible for you to do. When you first start out, Maya tests your physical fitness, including your flexibility. I can barely stretch my hands to my knees from a sitting position; regardless, during one of my workouts, Maya wanted me to do a yoga position called the Half Moon. I guarantee - if you can’t touch your toes, you can’t do this either. Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do about that because you can’t skip an exercise; you have to wait it out, or do an alternate exercise on your own until she’s ready to move on. There are other remedies - you can buy special foam blocks that help bridge the distance between your hands and the floor, but the program doesn’t tell you that; it just assumes that you can do the move, and unfortunately the tutorial doesn’t give you a suitable alternative.
Customer Review: A good tool to have in your fitness tool box.
With a busy schedule, this “game” is a very convenient way to slip in a workout when one gets a free moment. It is relatively engaging (much more so than a DVD workout) and the variety in the workouts is an added bonus. Workouts are customized for the individual (based on age, gender, weight, fitness level, personal goals etc.) and they increase in difficulty over time as one’s fitness level increases. This proves to be so much more rewarding and beneficial than a “one size fits all” exercise DVD, where you either can’t keep up with it or it’s no longer a challange. I was expecting much more of a aerobic-cardio focus, but there is a significant amount of strength-building exercises also. I’ve been using for about 30 days (two or three 45-minute workouts a week) and I definitely notice additional muscle definition in my shoulders, arms, chest and legs. One additional benefit is that the program tracks one’s progress, and it is gratifying to be able to look at one’s stats and see the pattern of progress. I’ve tried the home gym and the exercise bike, but they get so tedious and boring…difficult to stick with. This product is engaging enough and has enough variety and (dare I say) fun so that it overcomes the boredom. I foresee this as something that I can stick with long term. Bottom line is that if you are a hard-core fitness guru, this probably isn’t for you. However, if you’re a 20 or 30 or 40-something working professional and/or parent and are tyring to figure out a way to incorporate a sustainable exercise/fitness progam into a busy lifestyle, this is a good option.

Customer Review: TOM TOM 3rd Edition GPS
Consumer Reports had very high remarks for this product. And I must agree. I am very happy with this GPS.
Customer Review: I paid too much!
I ordered this GPS for my husbands birthday. He was very thrilled. We opened the box on November 14th and the next day everyone started running these same GPS at almost $90 cheaper in some cases. I was very disappointed! It’s working fine so far, but sad to say this amazon deal, wasn’t a deal!

Customer Review: Very comfortable!
I bought this product to use when I go running or lifting weights. Very snug on my 18 inch byceps. Nice armband!!!

Customer Review: good deal
This armband is exactly what I needed. I’m a girl so I was worried about it fitting my small arms, but it’s great. I run A LOT and my ipod hasn’t skipped at all, it keeps it right in place. I only wish it was a little more enclosed (the sides are open) for those times when it’s rainy. But great armband. I’m really happy.

Customer Review: Great vitamin
My husband and I are taking this product and feel great. It’s a horse pill so prepare your throat. We take one of these in combination with the antioxidant. The only thing was that it took forever to get to us. No complaints though since I got the super saver shipping. I will buy again considering the discount - I checked around and Amazon has the best prices. Also, I’ll have to account for the 3 1/2 week ship time frame. No biggie but I didn’t time my vitamins right. I ran out of my other brand and had 2 weeks of nothing so I could feel the difference right away with this product.

Customer Review: Cosamin DS works for me
I have arthritis in both knees and Cosamin DS was recommended to me by a friend of mine who has used it for many years. I’ve been using it now for five months and have seen some easing of pain during normal activity and when I play sports. I’ve also been strengthening my legs by using an exercise bike and stretching, so I can’t say that Cosamin DS has been the only reason for my improvement, but I have been happy with the product.

HealthOMeter 845KL (Health O Meter) Digital Bathroom Weight Scale
Price: $50.00
Customer Review: Inaccurate
I received mine and it was immediately 3 lbs off. It has never been accurate.
Customer Review: Easy to read and use, works as advertised
We just got delivery of this scale yesterday. I have marginal vision, just barely legal for driving, and I often have trouble reading LCD displays indoors, so I purchsed this scale for its large LED readout. It is very easy to read, even for me. It’s easy to use — step on, the unit turns on automatically and shows your weight in a few seconds. Then step off, and it turns off automatically. If it can’t read your weight accurately because of some disturbance — shifting your weight, for example, it displays a C on the readout. Just step off and step back on to try again. My only concern is that the LED display may go through lots of batteries. I’ve only had it a day, so I can’t say. But 9V batteries are cheap and easy to find, so I don’t really think it matters too much.

Customer Review: Obscenely expensive but . . .
Compared to other osteoarthritis formulas, this product is horribly expensive and has just one thing to recommend it: taking four pills daily for a few weeks eliminates all traces of pain in my fingers. And when I tried to lighten up on my pill-taking while away on vacation, the pain began to return in as little as a week. So I pay the absurd price, although–like most things–it’s less outrageous at Costco, especially when they run a store coupon for it.
Customer Review: Cosamine DS
This is the best glucosamine we have ever used. And it works. It may cost a bit more, but the quality is worth it. Other glucosamine products really didn’t help my husband who has hip problems. Cosamine DS is the only Glucosamine that does and it does wonders!

Food Sources That Boost Glutathione Naturally

Glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant and detoxifier, is one of the 14 “Superfoods” listed in SuperFoods Rx : Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life, co-authored by Dr Steven Pratt.

Glutathione levels cannot be increased to a clinically beneficial extent by orally ingesting a single dose of glutathione. (1) This is because glutathione is manufactured inside the cell, from its precursor amino acids, glycine, glutamate and cystine.

Hence food sources or supplements that increase glutathione must either provide the precursors of glutathione, or enhance its production by some other means.

The manufacture of glutathione in cells is limited by the levels of its sulphur-containing precursor amino acid, cysteine.

Cysteine - as a free amino acid - is potentially toxic and is spontaneously catabolized or destroyed in the gastrointestinal tract and blood plasma. However, when it is present as a cysteine-cysteine dipeptide, called cystine, it is more stable than cysteine.

Consuming foods rich in sulphur-containing amino acids can help boost glutathione levels. Here are some food sources and dietary supplements that help boost glutathione levels naturally.

1. N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC)

It is derived from the amino acid L-Cysteine, and acts as a precursor of glutathione. NAC is quickly metabolized into glutathione once it enters the body. It has been proven in numerous scientific studies and clinical trials, to boost intracellular production of glutathione, and is approved by the FDA for treatment of accetaminophen overdose. Because of glutathione’s mucolytic action, NAC (brand name Mucomyst) is commonly used in the treatment of lung diseases like cystic fibrosis, bronchitis and asthma.

2. Milk Thistle, Silymarin

Milk thistle is a powerful antioxidant and supports the liver by preventing the depletion of glutathione. Silymarin is the active compound of milk thistle. It is a natural liver detoxifier and protects the liver from many industrial toxins such as carbon tetrachloride, and more common agents like alcohol.

3. Alpha Lipoic Acid

Made naturally in body cells as a by-product of energy release, ALA increases the levels of intra-cellular glutathione, and is a natural antioxidant with free radical scavenging abilities. It has the ability to regenerate oxidized antioxidants like Vitamin C and E and helps to make them more potent. ALA is also known for its ability to enhance glucose uptake and may help prevent the cellular damage accompanying the complications of diabetes. It also has a protective effect in the brain.

4. Natural Foods That Boost Glutathione Levels

Asparagus is a leading source of glutathione. Foods like broccoli (2), avocado and spinach are also known to boost glutathione levels. Raw eggs, garlic and fresh unprocessed meats contain high levels of sulphur-containing amino acids and help to maintain optimal glutathione levels.

5. Undenatured Whey Protein Isolate

Whey protein contains proteins like alpha-lactalbumin which is is rich in sulphur-containing amino acids. Heating or pasteurization destroys the delicate disulphide bonds that give these proteins their bioactivity. Undenatured whey protein is a non-heated product that preserves bioactive amino acids like cystine. It has been shown in numerous scientific studies and clinical trials to optimize glutathione levels.

6. Curcumin (Turmeric)

Treatment of brain cells called astrocytes, with the Indian curry spice, curcumin (turmeric) has been found to increase expression of the glutathione S-transferase and protect neurons exposed to oxidant stress. (3)

7. Balloon Flower Root

Changkil saponins (CKS) isolated from the roots of the Chinese herbal medicine, Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC (Campanulaceae), commonly called Balloon Flower Root or Jie Geng, have been found to increase intracellular glutathione (GSH) content and significantly reduce oxidative injury to liver cells, minimise cell death and lipid peroxidation. (4)

8. Selenium

Selenium is a co-factor for the enzyme glutathione peroxidase. Selenium supplements have become popular because some studies suggest they may play a role in decreasing the risk of certain cancers, and in how the immune system and the thyroid gland function. However, too much selenium can cause some toxic effects including gastrointestinal upset, brittle nails, hair loss and mild nerve damage.

Customer Review: Recurrent Yeast Infections Helped
I have had problems with yeast infections for many years. It was not until the last 3 years that my problems grew into itchy skin, foggy brain and many sinus infections. When I was on Atkins diet a few years ago, most symptoms went away, but that diet is very hard to stick with. When trying to get back to some normalcy in my diet, then the yeast infections came back. I found ThreeLac two years ago and it has greatly reduced the number of yeast infections I have. It cannot be a silver bullet that many hope for…I must watch your bread and sugar intake (including fruit). I have also found that high humidity and high stress can trigger new episodes. I don’t know now long I will be on ThreeLac, but for now, it is a great product and what I need at this point in my life. I highly recommend you try it, but follow simple rules with it…stay on it for a few months…also try products that reintroduce “good bacteria” into your intestines and watch your diet! Good luck!

Speck Products Canvas Sport Case for Sansa e200 (Black)
Accessorize and protect your Sansa e200 with the stylish Canvas Sport case! Inspired by classic sneakers- this case boasts a cool, sporty look and gives great protection to your Sansa e200. Features a canvas body, rubber edges, sewn-in screen protector and belt clip!

Customer Review: Cute and functional
I had a silicone case I purchased from Amazon (the Black silicone skin case with belt clip for Sandisk Sansa 2gb, 4gb, 6gb, 8gb, e250, e260, e270, e280). I really loved that case and wrote a review of the case here on Amazon.

This case was unfortunately terminated by my toddler. He peeled the case off my Sansa and ripped it into pieces. I wanted to get a new case that was sturdier, protected my Sansa and was easy to hold onto even when my hands were sweaty from working out. This case fits my needs. My friends daughter had this case in pink and it looked like it provided a lot of protection. Plus the only complaint I had after using the silicone case is that it allowed the record button to be pushed too easily. With the Speck Case the rubber is thick enought that I have never accidently pushed any buttons on my Sansa e250.

Great case, protects from bumps and drops, not water proof and more expensive than my previous choice but seems to be a lot more toddler proof.

Customer Review: Good protection
I feel more conident that my MP3 player is protected. The window for the controls is a bit thick, making it a bit more challenging to manipulate them, especially when excercising. All in all, I think that this is a great deal for the price.

This removes the self-doubt home-exercisers often have about the safety of certain moves–especially in that cumbersome final stage of pregnancy. Using gentle voice-over instruction, Rea and her assistants take viewers through a half hour of meditational stretches using blocks and chairs for support. She follows that up with 16 minutes of floor work: lunge pose, bridge pose, child’s pose, plank pose–all with the necessary adjustments. She winds things up with a four-minute guided relaxation on her back–the traditional position–with the second-trimester woman on her side and the third on her side with one leg up on a chair. By including the different adaptations, Rea has made a program with the flexibility to carry an expectant mom through her entire pregnancy–and beyond, if she wishes. –Kimberly Heinrichs

Customer Review: Terrible for Third Trimester
Although this DVD contains modifications of the poses for each trimester, the modification for the third trimester basically involved sitting in a chair. I found many of the poses did not feel appropriate for a prenatal program, and did not feel any benefit from the program. I think that the program would be too easy in your first and second trimesters in addition to being almost useless in the third. It’s also inconvenient to have to have a chair available for the program. The guided meditation at the end is too short. I strongly recommend the Divine Mother prenatal DVD instead of this one.

Customer Review: Relaxing Workout
I started this in my first trimester- it came in handy to go through the warm up on nights that I wasn’t sleeping well and couldn’t find a comfortable position. I woke up one morning and did it at 5 am, then went back to sleep for 3 hours! Good upper and lower body stretches- relaxing and rejuvenating all at once. Really helps to alleviate lower back pain, which I’ve had since day one of my pregnancy. Enjoy!

I love Emergen-C. I’ve been using it as a supplement for a few years now. It tastes great, provides useful vitamins and minerals and depending on the variety you use also has valuable supplements such as chondroiton and glucosamine.
Customer Review: Addicted!
This stuff is great, I drink it every day and maybe it’s mostly psychological, but I feel instantly better as soon as I drink it. Amazon has the best price on it I’ve seen anywhere.

Loretta Laroche: Humor Your Stress
Comedienne Loretta LaRoche uses her irreverent, unconventional, wacky and just plain funny style, to show us how to “lighten our ways,” including finding humor in everyday situations, learning how to stop “to-doing” and start “tah-dahing,” the power of twirling, and finding “the bless in all the mess.”

Customer Review: Humor Your Stress
This tape is an outstanding reminder about not taking life too seriously. She has excellent suggestions for dealing with common stressors and how to lighten up. I recommend it for anyone in a stressful situation at work or in their personal life.

Customer Review: Loretta Does It Again
I work out to Loretta’s “Joy of Stress” video and now I iron while watching “Humor Your Stress” when I need to lighten up and refocus my attitude. Loretta’s insights are profound, yet she delivers in such a funny way they are remarkably effective in inspiring change. And everyone around me benefits when I get that adjustment in my “happymeter”.

About Reebok
Reebok’s United Kingdom-based ancestor company was founded for one of the best reasons possible: athletes wanted to run faster. So, in the 1890s, Joseph William Foster made some of the first known running shoes with spikes in them. By 1895, he was in business making shoes by hand for top runners; and before long his fledgling company, J.W. Foster and Sons, developed an international clientele of distinguished athletes. In 1958, two of the founder’s grandsons started a companion company that came to be known as Reebok, named for an African gazelle.

Customer Review: What a sad excuse!
I have an old sony “Sports” headset radio — Model SRF-M59. I have used it and loved it for years, but it’s fallingn apart. When Sony came out with this one, I was happy to order it, thinking it would be as good as my old one. It is not. We have a strong local FM station and I can’t even get it much of the time. I’m back to using my old one — and buying duct tape.

Customer Review: I like them
I’m a construction worker and I wear these around my jobsites. I like them because I can still wear a hat, and there’s no antenna sticking up. They put up with abuse well, cloth ear covers wear out very quickly. The digital tuner, with presets, is really necessary for station changes. I can’t be standing around fiddling with my tuner all day.

I agree with the reception complaints, and I don’t need weather or TV (although Sesame Street in audio only is amuzing). After all day my earlobes are definately sore, but I think that cannot be avoided if the radio is going to hang off of them.

All-in-all this is the only headset I’ll use. The orientation and the station pre-sets set it completely apart from all others I’ve seen.
