Save 10% on OXO Measuring Cups!

Thu, 21 Apr 2011 02:58:52 +0000

I love OXO stuff and my kitchen is full of it. They always seem to go the extra mile and make a product that not only works, but works better than I thought it would. Case in point, the OXO angled measuring cups. I actually got these as a gift from my loving husband a few years ago and didn’t think much of them at first. The angle-thing just seemed like some lame gimmick. But then I tried them….and I could read the measurements by looking down into the cup without having to fill, look at the side measurements, fill some more, look at the side again, dump some out, look again at the side, etc.

They work great and now you can get some of your own for 10% off just by clicking the button below!

I can always use some equipment for my home gym. Since having kids, it’s been harder and harder to get out of the house and get to the gym, so my solution has been to workout at home. Besides Mari Winsor’s Slimming Pilates and yoga, my latest home workout routine is the pullup.

I just got a doorway pullup bar that works great and thought I’d pass along the deal I used to get it.

Billy Blanks PT 24/7 Reviews

Fri, 17 Dec 2010 22:47:03 +0000

It’s nearly January, which of course means the start of America’s annual and all-too-brief obsession with fitness. Every year there is a wave of new exercise products comes on the market, counting on the usual spike of interest that comes from more casual fitness fans and their post-holiday guilt. And some companies are getting started early.

Billy Blanks, longtime trainer, inventor of the Tae Bo craze, and sometime actor, has a new workout system just in time for the January fitness season. And it’s not a Tae Bo workout. It’s called Billy Blanks PT 24/7 and is for sale at BillyBlanksPT247.com. The website promises you’ll feel results in just 24 hours, and you’ll see results in 7 days – hence 24/7 right? It’s not clear if you have to workout every day (the site says “30 minutes a day”) on this program. Here’s the man himself looking pleased alongside his new product, ready to punch anyone that says it doesn’t deliver the goods.

The value may be pretty good. The Billy Blanks PT 24/7 comes with 7 DVDs, resistance band and weighted gloves and costs $59.97. Shipping is extra. They offer a 30 day money back guarantee, however be careful as some infomercials won’t refund your shipping charges.

Over the years Billy Blanks workouts have gained a huge number of fans – the majority from his Tae Bo systems which have been around for years and continue to be sold today. It will be interesting to see if Billy Blanks can recapture the magic with PT 24/7.

I have not ordered one yet from BillyBlanksPT247.com but admit to being somewhat intrigued especially if it incorporates new kick boxing moves. Anyone tried this? What do you think of Billy Blanks PT 24/7? Please share your review below.

Step 360 vs. Step360 Pro

Tue, 19 Oct 2010 16:37:38 +0000

Hi guys,

I mentioned in an earlier post that, even though I’ve been enjoying Mari Winsor’s Slimming Pilates, I’m ready for some variety. I spent some time browsing the web and talking to friends and came across two new products that have gotten positive press (see coverage from Times Union and Washington Post). At first glance they sounded pretty similar to me (maybe because they have almost exactly the same name) so I did some research to find the differences and thought I would share that information with you all. SPRI is selling a new product for gyms and personal trainers called the Step360 PRO. But there is still ANOTHER Step 360 from Step360.com which is As Seen On TV product just like Mari Winsor, and like Mari Winsor, it is produced by the same fitness company, Gaiam.

Let’s take a closer look at both Step 360’s. Here are photos from the websites:

UPDATE: The Step 360 facebook page wrote this in response to a fan question about the two units:

“Hi Susan they are indeed different sizes: The Step360 platform is 20.5″ across and approximately 25″ at the base of the air chambers. The Step360 PRO platform is 23″ across and approximately 27″ at the base. Hope this helps!”

There are plenty of important details to help the two Step 360’s beyond visual appearance.

Step360 PRO

While both products are “balance training devices”, the Step360 PRO is slightly larger, colored slightly differently, and includes two 18 minute train-the-trainer DVD’s. The Step 360 Pro is obviously aimed at fitness professionals and gyms which is clear from the information found at SPRI.com. The pro package runs $150.

Jessie Pavelka, Step 360 spokesman

The Step 360 sold at step360.com is a bit of a different animal. The Step 360 platform here looks quite similar to the Step360 PRO, but if you’re like me (attracted to handsome, physically fit men with killer smiles and tight… um, I think I’ll stop there) then one important difference between Step 360 and Step360 Pro is the presence of celebrity trainer Jessie Pavelka. The Step 360 package also includes 1 hour and 40 minutes of exercise programs to workout at home without a trainer, a resistance cord and printed material with meal plans, a workout calendar, etc. and some other goodies.

Recommendation

Which one to get?

If Jessie Pavelka (right) doesn’t sway you immediately toward the Step 360, then the 1 hour and 40 minute exercise program definitely should. First, workout equipment isn’t going to do you any good unless you know how to use it and second, a workout program isn’t going to keep your interest without some variety. While both systems come with instructions, only the Step 360 also includes enough supplementary material to keep your workout exciting over the duration (After all, it’s only 9 months until swimsuit season rears its ugly head again). There is, however, one thing that might tip the scales towards the Step360 PRO. It is likely (still to be confirmed) a little larger and possibly more sturdy that the Step360 so it might be better suited to males, intense workouts involving heavier weights, and users of either gender who may tip the scales well above 200 pounds.

But overall, I think the Step 360 package with Jessie Pavelka offers the better overall value for workout-at-home types.

Not much to say here except if you workout from home like I do then you definitely need one of these.

It’s 5/8 inch thick so it gives you plenty of cushion for stretching, Pilates, Yoga, and any other floor exercises you can dream up (like Mari Winsor Slimming Pilates!). It has non-stick ridges on the bottom to prevent slipping and it’s made of anti-microbial Durafoam which prevents odor and bacterial growth and does not wear off with time or use.

Xpress Redi Set Go Recipes

Fri, 04 Jun 2010 02:22:13 +0000

Hi everyone. I’ve had my Xpress Redi Set Go Grill for a while now and use it quite a bit. I thought it would be fun to start a regular feature where I share a few of my favorite recipes and, hopefully, you guys can share a few of yours. I thought I’d start with a recipe that I make at least once a week: The Breakfast Burrito! So, without further ado, here it is:

1 – 8″round tortilla
1 or 2 tsps Salsa
1 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp black beans
2 eggs
a splash of milk
add salt and pepper

Preheat your Xpress Redi Set Go Grill. Beat eggs, milk, and salt and pepper. Use a bit of butter to grease one well and pour in the egg mixture and the beans. Cook 2 min., flip, cook another 2 min. Soften tortilla by microwaving for 15 sec. Spread salsa all over the tortilla, cover with cheese and top with egg and beans when they’re done cooking. Tuck in sides and roll into a burrito. Place into one well. Cook 2 more min. just to lightly crisp the tortilla. Enjoy!

Btw, this is really amazing when topped with fresh guacamole.

So, give it a try and let me know what you think! And please share if you’ve got a favorite recipe of your own!

P.S. If you missed it, you can find a SaversXchange discount on your Xpress Redi Set Go Grill order here!

New Gamestop Coupons – Save up to 20% on Games

Kate — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 01:15:21 +0000

We bought a Wii a few years ago and since then I’ve learned that there are video games for everyone. I used to think being a “gamer” meant you were 14 years old and liked playing games where you shot at other people. Now I know the word “gamer” has a variety of meaning. In our case, our games are limited to family fare like Wii Fit Plus, Rockband, Dj Hero and the occasional heated match of New Super Mario Brothers Wii. The only real draw back I see to this new hobby is that it isn’t cheap. That’s why I was excited to receive these exclusive coupon codes from Gamestop to SaversXchange visitors. I’ll be taking advantage of them and I hope you can too!
