Two Classy Chics

Archive for the ‘Fitness Products’ Category

As a mom, you’re accustomed to living an active lifestyle both at home and in various aspects of your life. With that said, it can often be a challenge to hit the gym or work on your fitness. Jabra recently launched Jabra SPORT, perfect for an active lifestyle and a great motivator to stay in shape.

The Jabra SPORT provides comfort while you listen to music or talk on your mobile phone as you walk, jog or run to your own beat. SPORT is ultra-light and easy to wear and comes with a choice of Ultimate Comfort Eargels as well as a sleek carrying case. It’s also tough – with military grade rain, dust and shock protection it is fit for any challenge.

The Jabra SPORT Bluetooth stereo headset is super easy to use and comes without the hassle of headset wires that just slow you down. It will give you exceptional music and call sound quality, so you sacrifice nothing. It has A2DP, AM3D Power Bass audio enhancement and a wind-shielded microphone. If you love to workout to music, you can use the built-in FM radio to listen to music or even the news.

We received this product about 2 weeks ago to review for all of you and ever since it arrived at my home, I have barely seen it. My hubby confiscated it and practically owns it now! He is constantly on-the-go from 7am in the morning to 7pm at night. He has been using this super-light Bluetooth Stereo Headset while working (to take hands-free phone calls) and using it while working out in the evenings at the gym. He tells me that it is the most comfortable headset he has ever used!

He loves that it is light-weight with comfortable ear pieces. He said that he even forgets that he has it on…it is that comfortable! He uses it to take phone calls and uses the FM radio for music when he is at the gym working out. He said that he also loves that he can connect it to 2 Bluetooth devices at one time. That is totally cool!

The Jabra Sport Bluetooth Stereo Headset will work with iPhone, iPad and the iPod Touch. It will give you up to 4 1/2 hoours of talk time, up to 3 hours of music time and 4 days of standby time. Wow, that is super impressive!

My husband loves his new Jabra Sport and let me tell you, one of these days when he isn’t looking, I might just nab it for myself! We would like to thank Jabra for participating in this product review. My hubby gives your product a huge 2 thumbs up!

Canyon Ranch: Strong & Sculpted, takes healthy living to a new level with three transformative total-body workouts (core, strength training, and yoga), plus three bonus segments with their top health experts and a recipe booklet from their renowned chefs.

Now you can bring the Canyon Ranch experience home with these three 20-minute workouts for total-body transformation designed to work together to firm, tone and invigorate your entire body. The workouts include a dynamic strength-training segment to build strong bones and long, lean muscle; a fluid, easy-to-follow yoga flow for more body sculpting and to improve balance and flexibility; and a powerful core segment to work the muscles of the abs and hips that are key to a powerful, smoothly functioning physique.

The DVD is available for purchase starting on May 1st, 2012 for the suggested retail price of $16.99. Approximate running length is 79 minutes, plus bonus.

My Review: Right now I am fighting some kidney stones so I wasn’t able to complete all 3 of the workouts on the DVD, but did manage to do most of the Yoga workout which I absolutely loved! Once I am healed up, I plan on trying the other 2 workouts on the DVD. I did sit and watch all of the bonus features and went through the recipe booklet and I love those too. I really learned a lot by watching the bonus episodes on how to cook with super foods, how to build lean muscle while working out and how to keep my joints healthy. This is a GREAT DVD for both beginners and for those who avidly workout.

If you are looking for a new effective workout program that works your body out to it’s fullest potential and helps to educate you along the way, this is a great DVD for you to add to your workout video collection. I am really looking forward to getting into this DVD even more once I come off my current medical restrictions! It’s fabulous!!!

Please take a few minutes of time today to visit Acacia’s web site to learn more about them and this wonderful DVD. You’ll be glad that you did!

Today I would like to introduce you to the company called Jala Clothing who has been in business since 2008 making comfortable and stylish Yoga clothing for both men and women. Jala Clothing is known for making clothing that is super soft, fits great, comfortable flowing styles with unique designs.

My Review: I received the Mandala Gathered Waist Yoga Pant for the review. The yoga pants are made of a cotton/spandex knit fabrication so they will stretch and move with you. They feature a gathered, fold-over waist which I really like as it helps to hide my tummy bulge and it looks like I am wearing a layered tee with my yoga pants.

The yoga pants are available in size small, medium and large with a 32″ flared leg inseam. I really like the flared leg as that type of cut is figure flattering for most people. The pants have a mandala print on them and you will find that printed in a coral color on the one leg’s thigh area, and on the other leg’s calf area. According to their site, mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning circle. Mandalas are used as a spiritual tool in meditation to access deeper levels consciousness.

I am a beginner when it comes to yoga but I am an avid walker and hiker. I have been wearing these yoga pants for my yoga workouts and for walking, they are super comfortable! I love that they stretch and move with me, and thanks to the breathable cotton, my skin can breathe when it’s overheated from my workouts. They are machine wash/dry and I have laundered them several times and they continue to come out perfectly. I love them!!!

Purchasing Info: You can purchase the Mandala Gathered Waist Yoga Pant for only $56.00 directly from Jala Clothing. They have several different colors/styles available.

I would like to thank Jala Clothing for sending me the yoga pants to review for all of you! I love them and hopefully when I drop another 5-10 lbs, they will look even better on me! LOL

As someone that knows I have to get moving if I am ever going to get back into shape, I thought a cool DVD of some easy workouts that I could do would really help me. A leading distributor of award-winning DVD workouts, Acacia Lifestyle recently partnered with the leader in healthy living, Canyon Ranch, and the #1 diet and fitness website, SparkPeople. Coming out on April 3rd, Acacia is bringing you a 30-day workout plan from its best-selling fitness series Exhale: Core Fusion 30 Day Sculpt, featuring 30 twenty-minute workouts from the top husband and wife team in fitness, Fred DeVito and Elisabeth Halfpapp.

Exhale: Core Fusion 30-Day Sculpt features a complete five-week plan with 30 hand-picked segments from Exhale’s award-winning, best-selling DVD series. Designed by the top husband and wife fitness team and Core Fusion creators Fred DeVito and Elisabeth Halfpapp, each week includes six 20-minute workouts (plus a rest day) that mix sculpting and cardio moves for total fitness with segments from some of Core Fusion’s most popular programs including Lean & Toned, Boot Camp, Yoga- Energy Flow, and Cardio: Pure Intensity. Taught like one of Exhale’s nationally renowned celebrity-loved Core Fusion classes, the release brings the mind/body spa experience home with the structure of a personalized and customizable fitness plan that also includes motivation and nutrition tips

Get a fit, firm, and fantastic physique, one day at a time with this complete five-week plan featuring 30 segments hand-picked from Exhale’s popular programs. From toning and strength training to yoga and cardio, it’s all planned for you! Soon, you’ll lose weight and build strong legs, defined abs, cut arms, and lifted glutes.

I was sent a DVD to check out for you all and what I like most about this DVD is the variety of workouts. It is great for someone that gets bored with the same routines over and over. It is also great for people, like me, that don’t exercise enough. There is a nice variety and they are not horribly difficult. And these exercises will ensure that you are not plateauing either. You are working all of your body and not doing the same thing over and over. These exercises are created to do at home and the only equipment needed is some light hand weights and a mat. Nice!

I did a few of them and while I have a long way to go, I felt like I could reasonably keep up with the pace. The great thing about doing this at home is you can stop the DVD while you get over your heart attack. LOL In all honesty, this is a great program that will help you get some of those body parts back into shape and I am all for that! Striving to have a bod like the one shown? Yea – that’s never going to happen for me! HAHA

There are more of the Core Fusion DVD series that includes: Body Sculpt, Pilates Plus, Thighs & Glutes, Pure Abs & Arms, Lean & Toned, Core Fusion Yoga, Boot Camp, Cardio-Pure Intensity and Power Sculpt. Co-creators Fred DeVito and Elisabeth Halfpapp have over 50 years of combined experience teaching Pilates, Lotte Berk Method, yoga, and dance, and they are founding team members of Exhale, a leading mind/body spa with locations in the U.S. and the Caribbean.

This new DVD will hit the Street on April 3, 2012 SRP: $19.99 Approx. 180 min. Look for it at your favorite retailers of you can buy it from Acacia Fitness online. Enjoy!
