Ultimate Sandbag Fitness I've been on a mission for years to get in amazing shape and sculpt my body into one smokin' mama.  My fitness level is pretty good, but I can never seem to find a program that delivers results CONTINUALLY, no matter how dedicated I may be.  Around 4-6 weeks, it always seems that I either get completely bored with the program I'm on or that I plateau and the exercises just don't seem to work that well anymore.

I've decided that this time, I want to "go hard or go home" and I will do whatever it takes to get a rock-hard physique that anyone would be proud to have.  That's what led me to discover Ultimate Sandbag Training.  This program is extremely unique and offers many advantages over using a traditional set of dumbbells or weights.  It's also completely adjustable and grows right along with your increasing level of fitness.  Keep reading to learn more about one of the hottest new at-home exercise programs!

I reviewed the Ultimate Sandbag Training: Power Package from Henkin Fitness Systems which retails for $108.99, but is currently on sale for $99.99 with a 30-day money back guarantee.

3MI live in a home of die-hard allergy sufferers, so when the seasonal allergy seasons roll around, I try and brace myself for the worst.  My daughter will get a runny nose coupled with itchy, watery eyes and will typically be in a foul mood.  My husband also gets the same foul mood, along with major sinus and sneezing troubles.

I'm lucky for seasonal allergies don't affect me much, but this year seemed to be different.  Everyone in my home was in a constant foul mood and I was getting mind-splitting headaches almost daily.  I rarely get headaches, so this was a cause for concern.  Also, my husband started getting headaches within minutes of coming home from work.  We all felt miserable and even though everyone was taking allergy medication to ease our woes, nothing seemed to be helping.  Keep reading to learn more!

RKS More than any other season, I believe summer to be the season of fitness.  I mean, the weather is warm, bikinis are in and if you're covered from head to toe in the hopes of camouflaging those extra pounds, everyone will notice.  I've long been a fan of working out at home, for there are some terrific programs out there which really kick butt.

Of course, now that I'm a mom and my free time is virtually nonexistent, I need a program which will deliver big results quickly.  That's why I was drawn to the RKS Workout Series.  This kettlebell-based exercise program claims to come through in a big way if you dedicate 30 minutes per day, 4 days a week.  I decided to throw my hat in the ring and get in shape.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the RKS Workout Series from RKS Inc. which retails for $89.97.

Lean and Healthy to 100Experts believe that over 85% of your (and America's) weight, health and aging issues can easily be eliminated if you simply give your body what it really needs in the first place.  Yet, an estimated 95% of people are still not doing that simply because they've never been taught what to do.

Did that catch your attention?  It definitely did mine, which is why I had to grab a copy of the Gordon Filepas's book "Lean and Healthy to 100".  My husband and I read this book cover to cover and are now beginning the mission to try and incorporate Gordon's simple tips into our own lifestyle.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the book, "Lean and Healthy to 100" by Gordon Filepas which retails for $28.95, but is currently on sale for $26.05 with FREE SHIPPING.

Exergen Corporation Riley absolutely HATES me taking her temperature. Currently, we have one of those ear thermometers, which requires sticking a probe down into her ear canal. She constantly squirms and cries and it is next to impossible to get an accurate reading. I can understand though. If you're sick and don't feel well, the last thing you want is someone holding you down trying to pry some weird device into your ear!

I've always envied the neat little handheld forehead scanner my pediatrician uses. All she does is swipe this device across Riley's forehead and presto...an accurate, tear-free temperature! I always thought this type of thermometer was very expensive and beyond my family's means. So, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review the Exergen TemporalScanner Thermometer and I learned that these thermometers don't cost anything near what I thought!

I reviewed the TemporalScanner Thermometer from Exergen, which retails for $34.99, but is currently on sale for $29.49 with FREE SHIPPING.

RadioShack CorporationAs I grow older, I find myself more and more concerned and watchful over my health.  After all, we only have one life to live and I want mine to be as fulfilling as possible without undue pain and problems.  Of course, if there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that much can be accomplished by simple awareness of the situation.  In the infamous words of Dr. Phil, "You can't change what you don't acknowledge."

Has technology advanced to the point where we can quickly and easily track and monitor our body's daily activities, set goals and record our progress?  If I ever have a question about the latest and greatest innovations in technology on the market today, I always know that RadioShack will have the answer.

They allowed me to review the truly unique Fitbit Ultra Wireless Activity + Sleep Tracker in order to get a better overall picture of my own health.  Keep reading to learn more about the tiny little tracker that somehow manages to do it all!
