Bowflex Boost Fitness Band Coming in September for $50!

Looks like another Fitness band is about to emerge? The Bowflex Boost Fitness Band should be arriving sometime around in September but who really know? It's big buying feature is its price point of $50 which is about half the price of its competition, the Fitbit Flex, Jawbone Up and the Nike FuelBand.

Even a this proposed super low price, it is supposed to have the usual bells and whistles like activity tracking, sleep quality, Bluetooth syncing and an iOS App.

Let's wait and see how this all rolls out...

Human Trainer Shoulder Workout

This is my last upper body Human Trainer Body Weight Suspension System workout, next I will be moving on to some lower body routines. Today I show you a shoulder workout using the Human trainer. I found with shoulders using an alternative ground level mounting location works really for some of the shoulder exercises I do but you can also hook into a higher position if need be, just angle your body a bit differently.

To get my lower mounting point I hooked into my smith machine rack using my Human Trainer Versatility Straps.

I'm still struggling with my foot, wrist and knee injuries but what are the alternatives, rest, I don't think so ;) Overall things are getting better...

Get Fit Over 40 - Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headset Review

I have another Technology review for you today, you may wonder how a headphone review fits into a fitness blog? Music provokes emotion, mood, and even your overall energy level, and if you choose the right mix of music it can give your workouts the extra boost you need to go from an OK workout to a really great workout!

One of the problems with using standard corder headphones while you workout or run or bike is that annoying cable that slaps around and gets in your way. The Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headset takes care of this problem for you (because they are wireless) while freeing you to enjoy your own personal playlists any time and anyplace.

Here is a list of the main specifications for the Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headset:

• In-ear - Behind-the-neck mount.
• Bluetooth 2.1 EDR.
• 1.5 ounces.
• 33 foot range.
• USB (5 pin Micro-USB Type B).
• Run Time (Up To) 9 hour(s).
• Standby Time 240 hour(s).
• Microphone built it.
• Moisture resistant.
• Water resistant.
• Sweat resistant.
• Comes with manual, power adaptor and extra ear buds in different sizes.

The Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headset has pretty much everything the fitness enthusiast is looking for in a pair of headphones: wireless capability with good range, moisture resistant for when you are giving it 100% and of course plenty of run-time so your music doesn't stop before you do :)

Overall I really like my Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headset, mainly because there is no cumbersome cable getting in the way, they are comfortable to wear and stay in place, they sound really good with the ability to control my music remotely and the price is very reasonable. A couple of things to be aware of are the really long time you need to hold the power button down while start them up and you need to make sure to find the right sized earbuds for your ears or they may sound too quiet and/or have low base response.

Get Fit Over 40 - Human Trainer Arms Workout

A couple more upper body Human Trainer Body Weight Suspension System workouts to go and then we will be moving on to some lower body routines. Today I show you some biceps and triceps exercises using the Human trainer. I was playing around with some alternative mounting locations and found that using a grounded location works well for my arms and shoulders but you can also hook into a higher position if need be, just angle your body a bit differently.

To get my lower mounting point I hooked into my smith machine rack using my Human Trainer Versatility Straps.

I am still struggling with my injuries but I am optimistic that I will recover, even if it is slower than I would like to, my Kanesiologist did make a radical adjustment to my ankle as apparently my shine was anchored too far forward and so I had very limited flexibility  which effects the knee and back. I am hoping this adjustment will really help with my knee pain and so far it does seem to be feeling better.
