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.

Get Fit Over 40 - Human Trainer Back Workout

Moving forward with my series utilizing the Human Trainer Body Weight Suspension System, I focus on the back and go over some of the best core exercises to strengthen and build your back muscles. Pull-ups are some of the best exercises you can do for your back, the Human Trainer allows you to do some great variations of pull-ups and even give yourself a bit of assistance if you can not yet do a full pull-up on your own.

I also show you how you can do a traditional row using the Human Trainer and again add some variation to it for better focus on the back.

Get Fit Over 40 Update Video - My Body is Breaking Down

Another Update Video for you, I while back I was perhaps being a bit overconfident when I said that I was feeling pretty good and my body seemed to be holding out, even with the extra strain of the Crossfit I was putting on it... Well that didn't last long, it seems that I have been plagued with a bunch of annoying small injuries or pains that are persistently sticking with me even when trying to give them some rest.

I think some of it is the extra yard work I have been doing which when combined with all the other exercise I am doing at the same time maybe took things over the top. I have been suffering with pain in my right knee and right arch of my foot and also carpal tunnel in both my hands but more so with my left, so much so that tow of my fingers are staying numb all the time which kind of worries me :(

I have setup an appointment with a Kinesiologist that was highly recommended to me from my Crossfit trainer, they break me and he fixes me, nice scam they have going on here ;) I will let you know how my appointment goes...
