Forever Flex Stability Ball





This has to be one of the best inventions ever.  I hate exercise.  There I said it. I am overweight and need to do something about it, but I hate exercise.  There I said it again.

A friend tried to get me to join a gym, sorry a fitness club.  Another told me to try riding a bike and that wasn't happening my balance sucks.  Walking is okay but its not going to work out much.  I do not know how to swim and that leaves what? Drastic surgery or me just staying the way I am?  No! And again NO!

I asked my physician what he thought about this type of product before I ever agreed to do a product review and he said it couldn't hurt to try.  So here we are...me vs the ball.I had seen these in fitness clubs, yoga classes, etc. so now it's my turn.

When I got this and unpacked it I immediately noticed a difference from the ones I had seen others use.  It seemed thicker.  It came with everything you needed to start.  The ball, the air pump, an extra valve closure and a remover tool for the valve. It also had very concise instructions for the initial filling up of the ball and it came with a great PDF to download and print of all the various exercises you can do on the ball.  Once I got started and realized that this product made exercise fun, there was no stopping me!

The easiest way is to start slow and work your way up.  I started with the sitting on the ball to see if I could balance.  Slowly rolled backwards and then to see if I could get up again.  Then there were the ab exercises and the versions with weights.  I am 2 weeks into it and have started working on the leg exercises.  I have absolutely noticed a difference and so have my friends and family.  All in all I love this and I keep it in my office to use on a daily basis.

Coffee Lovers Unite!

For those of you discerning coffee lovers out there who also prefer being more environmentally friendly, I really think this product is for you. I have probably done it all when it comes to coffee, the 12 cup brewer, the 8 cup brewer, the 4 cup brewer, the single cup brewer, the on the go brewer, the single coffee bag similar to teabags, the inexpensive and expensive coffee house coffees, etc, etc.  All of these methods being time consuming, expensive or just not true coffee tasting coffee (too weak, too strong, too bitter, not hot enough...). The real dreamy coffee taste I want to recreate are the coffees I had traveling through Europe.  I can still remember sitting in a cafe in Paris right near the Eiffel Tower a few years ago enjoying the sights and sounds of the Seine rushing by, tourist watching (although I was also a tourist) and enjoying a cup of coffee in the mid morning hours.  I had just about given up on the luxurious coffee taste of my overseas trips...

Strong, Functional Umbrella

This is absolutely the best umbrella I have owned in a long time!  It is functional and fashionable!  I bought the turquoise blue because I am so tired of the sea of black umbrellas I see every time it rains.  I wish more people would have bright colored umbrellas to brighten up those dreary rainy days.  But I regress... This umbrella is different from the moment you get it home.  You can see the difference in just the opening of it when you see the sleeve it comes in and the material the sleeve is made of.  The umbrella is made of that same material. It is thicker than your standard umbrellas you can see that and the material feel is soft yet durable. When you see the handle it has the auto open/close button and a wrist strap.  The feel of the handle is almost like those plush microfiber materials yet made of plastic.  It felt very comfortable in hand and did not slip. When you finally open the umbrella there is a black 'powdercoat' on...
