When winters are as tough as this one, trying to get in some exercise can be difficult. Even when you have a gym membership, going out in the snow or ice is not only unpleasant, but it can be downright dangerous.

This is why so many people keep treadmills on hand. Regardless of the weather, you can always exercise right at home.

Of course, getting a treadmill depends on several factors; price, the amount of space you have on hand, and how much you intend to use it.

We are going to take a look at the top treadmills available in 2017 – there is surely one here to suit your needs, space, and budget!

 

  1. Schwinn 870 Treadmill   Schwinn

This is one of the most expensive treadmills around, but with a name like Schwinn behind it, you know it’s a keeper that should last many, many years. With an average price of $1,000, this treadmill has a powerful 3.0 continuous motor, 26 workout programs, and two monitors, which means you can watch your tablet or read while still keeping an eye on your performance. Nice little features, such as a built in fan, in console speakers, as well as an MP3 input port and USB media charging means you can listen to your jams and never have to worry about battery life.

 

  1. Gold’s Gym Trainer 720 Treadmill   Gold's Gym

This machine is considered to be a medium priced treadmill, going for approximately $550. This treadmill has everything you would want, such as an adjustable incline level and foldable design, and, for the money, it has some nice features you don’t expect, such as iPod and MP3 player USB plug in. With a full 18 pre-programmed workouts, you won’t get bored easily.

 

  1. ProForm ZT4 Treadmill    Proform

This is another reasonably priced treadmill that runs about $450. The ProForm ZT4 comes with a nice 2.75 CHP motor that hits a max of 10 MPH. This is a super portable unit that folds up nicely, but still has a 10 percent incline option. If you like to monitor your heart rate, this treadmill features contact grips so you can reach your optimum heart rate zone and burn more calories.

 

  1. Weslo Cadence G 5.9 Treadmill    Weslo

For those on a tight budget, the Weslo Cadence can’t be beat! Priced at less than $300, this super compact and super space saving design is perfect for those who only intend to use it during bad weather, or for those who are concerned about space. Six pre-programmed workouts, two position incline, and a comfortably cushioned running surface makes this a model most people can’t say no to!

 

  1. Merit Fitness 715T Plus Treadmill    Merit

This is another budget ($350) treadmill that still offers many of the features of higher priced models. Merit Fitness has a 1.5 CHP (2.5 THP) motor that can reach speeds of 10 MPH. Sturdy enough to support 250 lbs, the 3 window LED display will track time, speed, calories, distance run, and more!  Folds to a tiny 29W x 26.25H x 56D, and has a lifetime warranty on the frame and 1 year on the motor itself. This treadmill gets 4 out of 5 stars on Amazon, so you know it’s a good deal for the price.

 

Special Mention: Sole Fitness F80 Treadmill    

Sole Fitness

This is the treadmill for those who want the absolute best in life, even in a treadmill. Cushion Flex Whisper Deck has been shown to reduce the impact on joints by an amazing 40% (when compared to running on asphalt). Measures a whopping 35W x 58H x 80D, this treadmill features fans, two heart programs, built in MP3 sound system and a lifetime warranty on the frame, motor, and deck. At almost $2 grand, this is the top of the line, but if you can afford it, you will not be disappointed! Amazon is offering 12 months interest free financing right now, so check it out here.

January 4, 2017 by Tammy Robinson 2 Comments

detox-tea

  The holidays are officially over, friends. Before you know it, the summer months and bikini season will be here.

Are you ready? If you had one too many BBQ beef sandwiches and beers, it might be time to take a few days to improve your digestive health and kick those ugly toxins and bloating to the curb.

If you took a holiday vacation in a foreign country, then you really want to be sure that you detox! Who knows what you might have picked up, no matter how careful you were!

Take a look at our list of the top 10 detox teas that will cleanse the system and get you ready for this upcoming summer season!

 

  1. Yogi Rose Hibiscus Tea   detox-tea-yogi-rose

If you’ve noticed that your complexion isn’t what it used to be, this is the detox tea for you. Filled with healing green tea, rose, and hibiscus, this tea will remove toxins and leave your skin brighter and clearer than it has been!

 

  1. Kusmi Tea Detox   detox-tea-kusmi

This is perfect for just about everyone and it tastes divine! Naturally detoxing green tea with lemongrass and mate, this tea is good hot or iced. It also comes in a cute little reusable tin that you can store in your purse. Buy two and save one to use before the holidays!

 

  1. Twinings Lemon and Ginger   detox-tea-twinings-lemon

This is an oldie, but a goodie! Twinings has been serving up tea for almost 300 years, so they know what they are doing. This tea has plenty of detoxing agents with lemon and ginger root, as well as linden and blackberry leaves for extra flavor.

 

  1. BaeTea   detox-tea-bae

Trendy name, but serious detox power. If you are truly committed to detoxing, this 14 day detox treatment is for you. BaeTea has serious detoxing compounds such as senna leaf and ginger root, along with Guarana for appetite control, Oolong Wu Yi, honey, lemon, and pomegranate for intense, satisfying flavor.

 

  1. V-Tea T-Tox   detox-tea-vtea

This is another popular 14 day detox program which contains tons of super powerful detoxing agents such as nettle leaf, burdock root, dandelion, holy basil, and fenugreek seeds. This same company also sells an evening tea called “Evening Flush” that you can drink before bedtime for super deluxe cleansing. Comes with a cute little tea spoon and strainer!

 

  1. Hey Girl   detox-tea-hey-girl

This company has 4 different detox teas, depending on your problem. There are teas to energize, help you sleep better, cleanse, and generally feel better. All help to flush toxins from the body and reduce that awful bloat. All of these are jam packed with detoxing herbs such as nettle, milk thistle, senna, burdock root, and dandelion.  It’s not as sweet as some of the detox teas here, so if you like your tea on the sweet side, better skip this one.

 

  1. Magic TeaFit Organic Detox Tea   detox-tea-magictea

This tea is made in the USA in small batches, to ensure that you always get top quality tea. Despite the name, this tea does not rely on magic, but on proven detox herbs such as nettle, ginger, cardamom, dandelion and Rooibos. It also has hibiscus and cinnamon to relieve bloating and make your skin glow.

 

  1. English Tea Shop Detox Me Tea    english-tea-1

Nothing is more English than tea, so it’s no wonder that the English Tea Shop has one of the best detox teas around! Contains 20 bags of premium teas, filled with detoxing herbs such as rosemary, spearmint, fenugreek, and more. These teas are completely organic, which means they are also caffeine free.

 

  1. Total Tea Gentle Detox   detox-tea-total-gentle

If all of this detoxing sounds great, but your digestive system is pretty sensitive, this is the one for you. This detox tea has a natural anti-inflammatory blend which soothes the digestive tract while it removes toxins. This has no artificial colors or preservatives, but it does have plenty of flavor with peppermint, chamomile, and cinnamon.

 

  1. E-Z Detox Tea   detox-tea-ez

Well, the name alone gives you an idea about this tea! The company claims you will not only detox, but that you can lose 1 pound per day. It has a unique blend of ginger, eucalyptus, ginseng, lemon grass, red raspberry leaf, and tamarind which is said to help stop cravings and hunger pangs for up to 6 hours. If you want to lose weight and detox, this is a good choice. Many people say that this tea was the only one that actually made them lose weight.

As with any supplement, please check with your doctor before you consume a detox tea. Everyone is unique and your doctor is the best source of information regarding these teas and your particular health situation.

To Supplement or Not to Supplement: Everything You Need to Know

July 22, 2016 by Tammy Robinson Leave a Comment

supplement 1

Who doesn’t want to eat healthier, lose weight, put on muscle, and feel great? While it sounds fairly simple; eat a good diet, get some exercise, get some sleep, however, most people feel that they need to take supplements to “make up” for the things they lack or to speed the process along.

Is this necessary? Do you really need supplements to help you lose weight, bulk up or to have more energy?

No, not really. Worst of all, they can actually do you far more harm than good.

What The Feds Found

supplements 6

  One large study performed by the federal government, found that supplements which were meant to either help you lose weight or gain muscle, (some of the biggest names out there too, such as Xenadrine and Hydroxycut) were the cause of more than 20,000 visits to hospital emergency rooms every year.

This is no joke. The Department of Justice has filed both criminal and civil enforcement actions against more than 100 manufacturers of these kinds of products.

supplement 5

The Problem with Protein Powders

  Many young men consume protein powders as a means of building muscle and putting on weight. In fact, protein powders are one of the best selling supplements on the US market today.

No one is denying that protein is good for you. It is absolutely necessary for building muscles; however, most Americans already consume far too much protein.  There is (in most cases) no lack of fish, meat, beans, nuts, tofu, and other types of protein in the average American diet.

To make things worse, many of these companies have been using cheap fillers in their protein powders, which mean you are paying a whole lot of money for very little protein.

Homeopathic Hype

supplement 2

  Let’s not forget the homeopathic hype, such as pre-exercise drinks and energy bars. It has been shown again and again through scientific studies that homeopathic remedies do absolutely nothing. NOTHING. You might was well thrown your cash in the fire. The results will be the same.

One example was published in the very distinguished medical journal The Lancet, in 2005. This study confirmed hat diluting the active ingredient until there was literally nothing left to measure (which is what homeopathic remedies are) was every bit as effective as a sugar pill.  This is just one example and there are literally hundreds more like it.

The Most Dangerous

almond dying

  Workout boosters are perhaps the most dangerous of the bunch. With names like Oxy Elite Pro or Jack3D, they sound super cool, don’t they? These supplements promise to increase oxygen to the body, increasing your ability to exercise.

After two soldiers who used Jack3D died, the active ingredient in this supplement was found to be DMAA (dimethylamylamine) a plant compound that is known to contract the blood vessels, increasing blood pressure to dangerous levels.

The makers of Oxy Elite Pro have had indictments made against them for claiming that their product contained natural plant extracts, when the truth was that it contained synthetic stimulates imported from China. The indictment claims that several people have suffered from liver damage and that at least one death was linked to this supplement. Oxy Elite Pro has been recalled and removed from stores.

Creatine or Meat

  Don’t waste your money on creatine supplements. Your body naturally makes this whenever you eat meat. Opt for a steak dinner once or twice a week if you want to improve the output of energy from muscles.

What About Zinc?

When you feel a cold coming on, it is perfectly OK to take small amounts of zinc (no more than 11mgs for the average adult) can help to interfere with the replication of the bug that is responsible for the common cold, rhinovirus. Studies show that people who take zinc lozenges or supplements have shorter colds and far less severe symptoms than those who do not.

Last But Not Least: Weight Loss Supplements

supplement 4

  All these supplements, whether they are powders, bars, or pills, that claim to help you slim down, are definitely not worth your money. Almost all of these supplements contain things like caffeine (which you can get pretty cheaply from a few cups of Joe) and herbal extracts such as wild mint, wild olive, or cumin. There are no studies showing that these supplements work. None. Save your dough.

Oh, and those green coffee extracts? Complete bunk. There was only one study and it was retracted after it was discovered that the entire study was funded by and monitored by the company who makes this stuff.

Green tea extracts or drinking green tea has been found to have some health benefits, but don’t think that drinking a cup a day is enough to prevent cancer. Almost all studies show that green tea is most effective when you drink 5 to 6 cups of freshly brewed tea each day.

Your best bet continues to be the boring stuff you have heard over and over. Eat a plant based; varied diet, get 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night and get at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
