Lululemon, Nike, A Course in Weight Loss and Beecher’s Mac and Cheese Amongst Oprah’s Favorite Things

Where as Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music prefers the simple things in life, like rain drops on roses and warm woolen mittens, Oprah prefers the fabulous, and she also likes sharing. That’s great for the approximately 300 guests in her studio audience today, as they’re going home with the most fabulous bundle of gifts the talk-show host has ever given away. Friday’s Oprah’s Ultimate Favorite Things (with a second audience receiving these gifts in a special episode today) is a farewell to this popular annual segment, as she enters the final half of her 25th, and final, season.

With more than 20 items on the list, including a cruise, jewelry, and one of our favorite organizations, KIVA, we were glad to see a few items that will help motivate people to get in shape. We thought you health-conscious individuals might enjoy them, too. And while we can’t give them away in a confetti- and shriek-filled party, we can point you where to find to them. (more…)

Top 4 Treadmills for the Money

Christmas time is here at last and shopping for the perfect gift is hard to do sometimes. I have a few friends that are shopping for treadmills this year and want to know which treadmill they should purchase. First, you need to figure out what you are looking for in a treadmill and what you will be using it for. Are you walking, jogging, or do you need incline or decline? Next, you need to find a treadmill that has the right motor/horsepower that can handle your body weight. And lastly, you need to find the best treadmill for the least amount of money. Be careful, you get what you pay for and sometimes the best treadmill costs a little more.

I have researched the treadmill market up and down and I have found that the Proform 4.5 is one of the best products for the least amount of money. I believe it is on sale for under $600. This treadmill is packed with features including a 2.75 horsepower motor which can handle up to three hundred pounds of weight, custom display, iPod dock with speakers, and a great warranty.

Finding the right treadmill is like finding the right workout; you need to find what works for you and go with it. Good Luck and feel free to ask if you have any questions!!

Top Fitness Gifts for the Holidays

The holiday season is among us and it is time to start thinking about some great gifts for your loved ones. What could be better than receiving a few fitness gifts for Christmas? Well, along with the holidays comes plenty of eating, partying, and more than likely, lack of exercising. A few new spicy fitness gifts may be the ticket to that lost motivation or dedication you may have had.

For example, a new pedometer is a great gift for the exercise enthusiast you know and will motivate them to do a few more miles or a few more steps per day. Another good Christmas idea is a heart rate monitor. This gift will help them track their heart rate and may allow them to push the intensity to the max. A new workout wardrobe sure would not hurt a thing either. What could be better than hitting up the gym in a few new outfits; besides maybe a new pair of running shoes (I hope my Mom reads this article).
