iSwan Women’s Seamless Invisible Bikini and Boyshort Panties Pack of 4

Posted in Clothing, Fitness and SportsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

I tend to wear tight fitting clothes,  so need underwear that doesn’t show.  That’s why I needed the iSwan Women’s Seamless Invisible bikini and Boy-short panties.

They come in a pack of 4.  There are two black, and two skin colored panties, with both a bikini style, and a boy-short in each color.  They are made of 79% Micro Nylon, 21% elastane body fabric. 

There is a flat waistband, without a label.  The details are on the material, at the back of the panties.  They are so soft to the touch, and when wearing them, you really don’t realize that they are on.  This is so much nicer than wearing my thongs.  I tend to wear them under tight clothing so that the edges of the underwear don’t show.  This type can get uncomfortable after awhile, and go into the crack of your bottom.  That is why I love my iSwan ones so much.  They have a 100% cotton gusset liner, which is breathable, and perfect for when I workout.

They don’t show under my tight dresses, even tighter leggings, and I am not

wet and uncomfortable after my boxing training sessions.

I have to say that these are the nicest panties I have ever worn.  I did receive them for free, and have been totally honest, in my opinion of them.

Crazy woman killing it on the upside down Bosu Ball.

Posted in Fitness and SportsTagged , , , , , 7 Comments

My husband took this video of me earlier today.  Yesterday I had been boxing at one gym, then had a boxing session with my trainer, and in the evening went to a 3rd gym, and boxed.  This was a bit of fun I had this morning, before doing my Zumba class.  Hope you like it.

Being a gym rat, I love having great workout clothes, that I look and feel good in.  I am happy to say that the Pannel Yoga Pants with Pockets, are on my favorite list.

First off they are so comfortable.  Probably the most comfortable pair of Capris I have.  The fabric is 87% nylon, and 13% spandex, which makes them fit like a glove, but have so much stretch in them.  They have a deep pocket on the front left leg, and also a secret one in the waistband.

I have worn them while boxing/kick boxing, lifting weights on an upside down Bosu ball, several high intensity Zumba classes, and circuit training.  The stay in place, and stretch in any direction I go.  They are excellent quality, and the finish is perfect.

From the Amazon website:

  • Yoga capri legging also feature all over interlock seams to reduce irritation and eliminate chafing, allows for maximum comfort and wearability.
  • Soft, breathable four-way stretch fabric, moisture absorbing, quick drying and non see through.

You can see in

the video, also photos how well made they are, and the small fits like a size 4, so true to size.

I did receive mine for free, and after thoroughly testing them in the gym, I can honestly say that these are the nicest Capris I have.

Fitness Answered Training Products Resistance Bands _ 23 Piece Fitness Band Set _ 7 SNAP PROOF Stackable Workout Kit

Posted in Fitness and Sports, health, Home and Outdoors, Outdoors activitiesTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 8 Comments

I have several sets of resistance bands, but am really loving the Fitness Answered Training 23 piece band set.  They are snap proof, and also stackable.

First off they are so colorful. You get vivid red, green, orange, yellow, black, blue, and pink.

Kit Includes:
 5  lb Band              4) Carabiners
10 lb Band              4) Workout Anywhere Anchor Straps
15 lb Band              1) Door Mount Anchor
20 lb Band              1) Pair Of Green Handle Attachments
25 lb Band              1) Pair Of Orange Handle Attachments
30 lb Band              1) Pair Ankle Attachment
35 lb Band              1) Mesh Carrying Bag

The scrunchy tubing allows for total safely with these bands.  As bands get older they can snap, and injure you.  At the end of each one they have the the weight in lbs. and KG.

If you are new to using them, start light, and gradually increase the weight.  Remember on some exercises you are doubling up the bands, and also the weight.

These can be used at home, or outside, as they have the anchor straps and carabiners.  I love that there are 2 sets of handles, as both my husband and I can workout together.  I haven’t found another set that doubles up for you.

We have had fun trying them out, and I love the door mount anchor, which means I can use them on vacation.  Yes, I walk in the water’s edge

for hours at the beach, but still need to tone my arms, and strengthen my muscles.

These are a fantastic whole workout experience product, and I can highly recommend them.  I am sharing their video from YouTube so that you can see how they all work.  It runs for around 13 minutes, and really helps to get to know the equipment.

I did receive mine for free, and have really tested them, so that I could be totally honest with you.

At the beach and using the MerceHygea Icy Freeze Evaporative Cooling Towel Stay Cool for Gym, Outdoor Sports etc.

Posted in beach, Fitness and SportsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 7 Comments

Right now I am staying at Treasure Island beach, Florida, and the temperatures are hitting 90 degrees.  Therefore I was pleased to receive the MerceHygea Icy Freeze Cooling Towel.

I walk the beach for hours a day, and have been known to walk 19 and a half miles, 42,500 steps in one day.  During the afternoon the sun really beats down, so the Cooling Towel has really helped me.

All I do is soak it in cold water, wring it out as much as possible, and the snap it.  I have had it around my neck, on my head, and across my shoulders.  It keeps them cool for the couple of hours, that I stay each time I go down.  Of course I always take plenty of water to drink too.

When I am not on vacation I go to the gym every day, do boxing, kick boxing, Zumba, and circuit training.  Again this towel has come in really handy for me, as the sweat is pouring off of me after my boxing training.  Some of my friends are interested in it, after seeing me using it.

The price is only $9.99, and it comes in Bright Green, Deep Blue, Orange Yellow, and Rose Red.  The leaflet that comes with it is in Chinese, and not English, so my one suggestion, would be to have a translation on it.  Otherwise you need to come to the Amazon webpage to read about it.

I did receive mine for free, and chose to write a review about it.

Get relief from the HOT & COLD THERAPY GEL PACK – Reusable Freezable Microwavable by Foxxgel

Posted in Fitness and Sports, healthTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will know that I am a fitness fanatic, and often that causes pain.  I do have a heat pad, and also freezer bags to use, but neither work that good.  Therefore I wanted to try the Foxxgel Hot & Cold Therapy Gel Pack.

For hot relief it goes in the microwave for 30 seconds, and then le

t it cool for 30 seconds before applying it to the area.  Depending on the power of the microwave you might need to do it for a few seconds more.  Mine is 1,100 watts, and that works out good for me.

From the website: ‘HOT & COLD THERAPY GEL PACK – Reusable Freezable Microwavable for Injuries and Pain Relief – Adjustable Elastic Velcro Strap for Neck Shoulder Back Arm Wrist Hand Thigh Knee Calf Ankle Foot’.

My pain is usually in my left shoulder from boxing.  It feels really good with the heat. I find it difficult to apply a heat pad to it.  The Gel Pack has straps with Velcros, so you can adjust it as you need to.

For cold therapy it goes in the freezer for a minimum of 2 hours, and can stay in as long as you wish.  Before use, wrap it in a towel, and then apply it to the area that needs relief.

I have tried both, and they work great.

I did receive this product at a discounted price, and wanted to share my experience with you.

Boxing on an upside down Bosu Ball

Posted in Fitness and Sports, healthTagged , , , 14 Comments

This was me today.

https://www.facebook.com/susie.34668#

My trainer tells me that there are only a couple of videos of Advanced fight training on a BOSU ball, so wanted to prove to you all that it can be done.  This is my first attempt, and I can only get better, and faster.  Also planning on doing more moves too.  I have always loved doing squats on it, while lifting weights.

I was asked it I had another other videos for people not on Facebook.  This is one I took as a selfie.

One Elevated Vital Ultimate Pre-Workout Supplement with Organic Booster, Mango-Peach Flavor, 270 Grams

Posted in Fitness and Sports, healthTagged , , , Leave a comment

I have been using the VITAL Pre-Workout now for several months. I take the full scoop of powder with my water, and can say that it has really upped my performance. I now feel like a real boxer, and can do full rounds with my trainer. He pushes me all the time, and my body can take it. I love my bigger, firmer muscles, and put a lot of it down to this great product.

I firmly believe in it, and just opened another container of my favorite pre-workout supplement.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t workout.  Therefore I need to both fuel my body as well as using a pre-workout supplement.  That is why I have been using the Vital Ultimate Pre-Workout Supplement with Organic Booster, Mango-Peach Flavor, 270 Grams.

I really have to be careful what ones I use, because many have given me shaking in my stomach, made me throw up, and given me a headache.

I am 5 ft 6 inches, weigh 110 lbs., so instead of using the 1 scoop with 6 –  8 ounces of water, I went with a quarter of a scoop.  That was 5 days ago, and I was at the gym, in the boxing room.  I took it 30 minutes before working out, and by the end of my session I was sweating.

On the Monday, we had doctor’s appointments, and lots of errands, so I…

Zida Women’s Workout Wirefree Racerback with Removable Cup Yoga Sports Bra

Posted in Clothing, Fitness and SportsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 4 Comments

I have a whole bunch of sports bras, and most of them feel uncomfortable, after a few hours.  I have to say that the Zida workout racerback bra is cooler, and more comfortable than others. 

I love the narrow straps, that don’t show under my racer-back tops, especially at the back.  It is made of 73% polyester, and 27% spandex, that allows for a good stretch. It easily goes over my head, and pulls over my boobs.  It is a more lightweight than my others, but holds me in well.

I tend to sweat a lot when boxing/kick boxing, and lifting weights, but as the Zida bra is: ‘ Four way stretch professional sportswear fabric with moisture-wicking, and quick-dry performance always ensure you perfect fit. Inner cotton with Lyrca fabric gives you ultra comfort feeling, second-skin fit’.

I so agree that this is a perfect bra that allows for movement, but doesn’t completely confine you.  It has mesh fabric at the back under the strap, that helps to keep you dry.  There are no wires, but does have cups.  The inside is a nice soft cotton. It comes in 2 different designs.

As you can tell, I really like this bra, and am delighted to have received it for free.

Not a one size fits all product – Adjustable knee brace support – GROOFOO Non-slip & Human mechanics Knee Brace Sleeve Wrap

Posted in Fitness and Sports, healthTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 4 Comments

I am a gym rat, and workout every day.  Around 5 months ago I injured my right knee.  I didn’t want to have shots in it, so used creams, and a knee brace.  When I saw the  Adjustable knee brace support – GROOFOO Non-slip & Human mechanics Knee Brace Sleeve Wraps for Outdoor Activities, Tear, Bursitis, Arthritis, Joint Pain Relief, Injury Recovery – GF033, I figured it was worth a try.  As you can see in my photos, you place it on your knee, and then pull the Velcros straps across the bottom, and top.

The first time I did it they were loose, so the next time I pulled them tighter, and had a little bunching in the front of the wrap.  I am 5.6 inches, and weigh 110 pounds of muscle, so maybe it wasn’t made for me.  When my husband tried it, and he is 60 pounds heavier than me, it fitted him perfectly. Therefore I would suggest that if you are medium through extra large, this should be perfect for you.

It is a little thicker than the one I have been wearing, so the quality is excellent. Please note that on Amazon it says wraps, but there is only one.

I did receive this product at a discount, and this is my honest opinion.
