Bender Ball is My Favorite for Exercising

My favorite workout device is my Bender Ball. It is so portable; I can bring it with me to work, on vacation, or to my friend’s house when I go over for some coffee and to chat. It’s also so easy to use. I don’t need a separate room for it, or a basement. And working out with Bender Ball is a pleasure. I feel like I am preserving the health of my back while at the same time giving my abdominals an efficient and strenuous work out. Discovering Bender Ball was one of the luckiest things that has happened to me. Bender Ball has made the difference for me as far as exercising and staying fit and healthy is concerned. And those are things that are extremely important to me. If you have never done a workout with a Bender Ball, you should find someone to show you just what a time-saving, convenient and result achieving device it really is.

A Few Beers Don't Worry Me Anymore

Did you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? Well, even though I am not Irish, I love St. Patrick’s Day, but just like any other celebration, it is easy to over eat. We watched the parade, of course, and then we went out for a few beers, (I know, calories, calories.) We also had a big lunch, and sat around talking and having a generally fun afternoon.

During our horsing around after a few (too many) beers some of the guys were telling me about their struggle with their weight. All my buddies used to be athletic in some way. Jack was a star basketball player in High School. Rick was a football jock. Larry played tennis. They all agreed that now with their high-pressure jobs, families, mortgages, car payments, etc… There is just no time left to play the sports that they love so much. But even worse, since they don’t even exercise a little, except for occasionally running a few miles, maybe once in a week, if there is time, they really never exercise.

Well, I told them all about my Bender Ball, and that definitely go their attention. When I told them that I take mine to work, vacations, and workout with it just about every day, they were spellbound. And they all told me that they could see, just by looking at me, that this Bender Ball method really worked.

I added that I didn’t even worry about the few extra beers I had, because I know that when I get home I will work out with my Bender Ball for a few minutes, and the effects of the beers will be nullified.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Reward Yourself with Rewarding Exercise

Last time I began a list of tips and information which will help you begin and stay on a rewarding exercise program. Here is the rest of the list.

6. Begin thinking “healthy.” What small habits can you add or change which will make each and every day a bit healthier? For example: think about parking farther away so that you can walk further to your destination; use the stairs, not the elevator or escalator; drink more water; eat less fast food or salty and sweet snacks.

7. Give yourself a prize when you achieve your goals. How does a message sound? Or some new clothes?

8. Stay goal oriented, and keep the goals short-term. Long-term goals are great, but it is hard to stay focused on them. Set daily or weekly goals, and when you meet them, reward yourself. Be sure the reward is not counterproductive!

9. Be prepared! Set out your gym bag, workout clothes, shoes and whatever else you need, like your Bender Ball, ahead of time, so when you get back from work you are all set to go!
10. Don’t allow yourself to get too hungry. Eat smaller meals more often, it is healthier and keeps you from over indulging out of extreme hunger when you do finally eat.

Exercise is a fantastic way to stay healthy and feel great. Simple exercise apparatuses can help you focus on certain goals more efficiently, like strengthening your abdominal muscles with use of the Bender Ball, which I have found quite helpful.
