Written by Ciara Barkley on August 14, 2010 – 8:48 am -

If you are a person that enjoys living an active lifestyle then maybe it is time you got your hands on your very own insulated water bottle

As I regularly go for morning runs on a daily basis I always insure I don’t leave the house without my water bottle. Replenishing lost fluids on a intense workout is essential in keeping my body fully operational.

When looking for a water bottle you will come across bottles that can cost anywhere from $5 all the way up to $30, depending on brand and type.

Will you be getting an insulated water bottle?

Insulated water bottles have many benefits. For starters no matter what liquid you have stored inside, these bottles will insure the contents are kept ice cool or warm.

I think you will agree that there is nothing worse that drinking luke warm drinking water or consuming cold coffee that only stays warn no longer than 15 minutes.

Fortunately insulated water bottles are rather affordable, and with plastic type bottles no longer being sold due to health concerns, they have grown in popularity considerably.

Bob Strollers – They Are For Fitness Conscious Parents

Written by Sally Kell on July 28, 2010 – 8:53 am -

You can test a stroller’s stability by hanging your purse over the back handles. If the stroller tips easily with the unbalanced weight, it will probably tip with our little one.

Even the best strollers can be overturned, so it is still important to always face your child in the proper direction and do not allow him to lean over the sides. Each time you use your stroller, be sure it is completely open. Most folding models will make a clicking sound once the stroller is locked into place.

Be sure to follow general rules of public safety while pushing your child in her stroller. Always keep the stroller right by your side.

Then, along came the BOB Revolution Stroller and it has certainly proved to be an excellent device designed to appeal to those that live a more active lifestyle and prefer a stroller that can accommodate such needs.

The BOB Revolution Stroller allows for a more active performance while also maintaining the effective safety that parents demand in a stroller. It does all of this while looking unique and fashionable too which is another huge plus to purchasing, owning, and operating such a stroller.

Jogging Strollers Have Three Wheels Which Is Convenient For Jogging

Written by Sally Kell on July 26, 2010 – 11:38 am -

Bob is an American company started by two guys out in California who were crazy about running and biking. The company now designs the official stroller for the famous Ironman-triathalon sporting event. If you are serious about fitness, or a Mom that wants a quality stroller, a Bob is hard to beat.

Bob strollers are the only jogging strollers on the market that come with a tracking mechanism. After heavy use, the front wheel on most strollers becomes misaligned making steering difficult. The tracking mechanism allows you to correct this by turning a small knob near the front wheel. This allows the stroller to track straight and true and prevents sudden swerving when you are running.

The fixed wheel versions are specially designed for running and will stand up to the heavy pounding of training or marathon running. They feature light aluminum frames for easy pushing, adjustable suspension to control the smoothness of your ride, and a tracking adjustment to make the front wheel drive straight and true.

The two most popular fixed wheel strollers are the Bob Ironman and the Bob SUS. The Ironman is arguably the most popular fixed wheel stroller for serious running or training on the road or smooth pavement. The SUS (sport utility stroller) has wide, knobby tires, which make it excellent for off-roading or trail hiking.

Jogging

Written by Philip Perry on July 26, 2010 – 8:35 am -

Jogging is practiced by a lot of people. It helps keep your body in shape, and is considered a fun activity. People start jogging around the block, usually, and when they think they can handle more, they move up, to longer distances. You might have noticed that people jogging have one thing in common. They’re all wearing headphones and probably listening to music.

When taking into consideration the fact that joggers can run for several hours, it makes sense. One thing joggers have had problems with is finding a good mp3 player, to keep up with them. Older mp3 players were out of the question, since most skipped tracks due to the constant moving, and modern mp3 players have become so small they have a tendency of falling out of your pocket.

One common practice is using an armband, and attaching your player to it. These have become better and better, with the first models having problems holding bigger mp3 players. However, some find it uncomfortable to wear, and would rather find another solution to listen to their music while running.

Written by Sally Kell on July 22, 2010 – 12:25 pm -

Baby strollers have made life easy for parents who exercise on a regular basis and do not know what their children should do when they are jogging. If you are not really a serious runner or want your jogging stroller to be your every day stroller, then the swivel wheel design might be the better choice. Swivel front wheel jogging strollers provide a greater versatility than fixed wheel designs.

If you are a moderate jogger or a brisk walker, smaller wheels at 16 inches usually do the trick, because they are practical and smooth. This size is great for shopping, strolling and jogging in the park. Your third choice is the 12 inch wheels, which is meant for light jogging and walking.

If you do not plan on actually running with your jogging stroller then you might want to invest in one with a swivel front wheel. A jogging stroller with a swivel front wheel is an appropriate choice for indoor use, such as malls and the grocery store.

Jogging strollers are strollers that make it easy to both turn and travel over rough ground. These strollers make it much easier to walk or jog with your baby. There are many different styles, a wide range of prices, many places to purchase and lots of accessories to choose from.

Heart Rate Monitor – Getting The Most Out Of Your Fitness Training

Written by Alan Walker on July 16, 2010 – 10:55 am -

It has become almost mandatory for top sportsmen and fitness experts to use a heart rate monitor regularly. The heart rate monitor – of the basic type – includes a receiver device worn like a wrist watch and a sensor strap to be tied around the chest during an exercise session. As you work out on the treadmill or otherwise, the strap sensor sends heart rate data to the watch. Using a heart rate monitor is one of the best way to improve the results of your fitness training.

A heart rate monitor helps measure aerobic endurance that is a major factor in one’s overall state of fitness and health. These devices give a more accurate reading that the one you may get by counting your pulse. In fact, if you pause during a workout to measure your pulse, you actually lower your heart rate by pressing the carotid artery in the wrist and do not get an accurate rating.

Apart from accurate readings, a heart rate monitor can help you maintain an optimum level of exercise by alerting you both when you are over-straining or under-training. Many people end up missing two days of a gym session simply because they worked out much too intensely on the first day of the week. Also, by alerting you if you are going beyond the limits of your body during exercise, the heart rate monitor helps prevent injury.
