Some are quite helpful, some are of dubious benefit, some are scams, and some are just plain silly. It must be a marketing rule that no one ever goes broke selling fitness schemes. It’s not clear yet into which category the Wii Fit falls.

Those who currently own a Wii console claim that is the greatest invention since writing. It creates a virtual world for the entire family. With our body motions we can control characters on the television screen. Entire families can now go bowling, drive race cars, play a guitar, and enjoy many other activities using the Wii controllers and certain body movements, without ever leaving home.

The latest entry into the virtual world of Wii is the Wii fitness program. Yes, a fitness program. The Wii designers figured that the Wii console had everyone up and moving already, so they introduced an attachment for the Wii called Wii Fit. The Wii Fit, which looks like a flat board, enables Wii users to perform a number of exercises and get themselves into shape.

As with any exercise machine or device, there is an up front cost. The Wii Fit board costs about $90. If you don’t have $90, it is too expensive. If you do, then it’s affordable. It appears, so far, that many people have found it to be an affordable device for maintaining family fitness. There is one caution, however. If you weight more than 330 pounds, the Wii Fit board cannot hold you. If you’re under that generous limit, however, feel free to go at it.

The Wii Fit does offer a number of useful exercises to help keep you in shape. One of the more interesting exercise challenges is the Wii Fit Ski Jump. You’ve no doubt seen Olympic skiers flying off the end of a ski jump, and perhaps been glad that it wasn’t you plummeting toward oblivion, but now, thanks to Wii, you can try it at home. You can realize the fitness benefits without incurring the dangers. The Wii Fit board senses your movements as you squat careening down the virtual slope, and senses you’re jumping as you leave the virtual ski jump; showing it all on the television screen.

With all tongue and cheek humor set aside, the Wii Fit board actually does help one to improve balance, strengthen abs, and work other important muscle groups. It is not, however, a total workout program. It’s a fun way to get some beneficial exercise, and is far superior in regards to general health, than the typical computer game that provides no fitness benefits at all.

Growing up in the 80s I remember Flight Attendants were glamorized. I also recall dressing up to go to the airport. Traveling was a luxury back then but now with low fares. It seems we have said bye-bye to being highly presentable. Yes some might consider it sexist for women to have to wear a skirt or a dress but if we want to be treated like a lady. We should still hold the value of looking & acting like a lady. We owe it to ourselves to exude feminine energy.

Are you ready to maintain your femininity & grace as fast as a 747 hurdling down the runway? No matter what time your flight departs here are 3 tips to inspire you to travel with style.

#1 Dress Comfortably by opting for nice jeans with a button down shirt & color coordinated tops & bottoms that are cotton blend. If you should so desire to wear a track suit just make sure it doesn’t look like you just left the gym. Presenting a great image says a lot about your self-worth. There are plenty of wardrobe options to choose from that will provide comfort & put you on the “fashion do list”.  Furthermore, you never know who you are going to sit next to. It could be for business or pleasure. You’ve heard the saying. You only get one chance to make a first impression.

#2 There’s nothing sexier than a soft & powerful woman. To maintain that inner confidence so it exudes on the outside get to work. Make use of your time by grabbing a book or bringing your projects with you. You will be amazed at how fast the time flies in the sky when you’re productive. It’s also a great way to supercharge the brain cells. Nowadays brains & beauty go hand and hand.

#3 Put self care at the top of your list. Carry travel sizes of your favorite beauty products so you can primp on the plane. Eye cream, moisturizer & lip balm are always nice to have handy because the air on the plane can take a toll on your skin.  And if you haven’t’ been getting any beauty sleep. You want to make sure your eyes are taken cared of to prevent dark circles & puffiness. I recommend an eye pillow. Yes it requires effort to maintain your appearance but it’s important that you sustain a fresh & revitalized look even at 30,000 feet!

Buying a treadmill? Did you know that Proform treadmills are currently the most searched-for treadmill online? So they’re definitely popular – but is a Pro form right for you?

If you’re considering a Proform treadmill there are some things you should know before you buy. Based on these things you may or may not decide to buy a Proform model.

First of all, the Proform name is owned by ICON Health and Fitness, pretty much the largest fitness equipment manufacturer in the world. These guys are the giants in the treadmill industry.

They also own names like Image, Weslo, Reebok, Freemotion, Epic and Nordic Track. Each of these brands has their own strengths and weaknesses.

Proform’s main strengths are that they are affordable, plus they offer a truckload of cool fitness toys you won’t find with other brands. At any given time, there are a huge range of Proform models to choose from to suit almost any taste.

Want a TV on your treadmill? How about a fitness age tracker (tracks your heart rate and fitness improvement over time)? Want a crosswalk model with ski-like poles to work your upper body? How about one that charges and plays your iPod through built-in console speakers?

Chances are you can find any of these options in a Proform treadmill.

The main weakness of these treadmills is that, while affordable, they are well…affordable. With treadmills you get what you pay for. In general, any unit under $1000 is not built to last for a long time. Since most Proform treadmills come in under $1000 you can figure out their main weakness.

So is a Proform treadmill a good buy? The answer is both yes and no – depending on who you are and what you want.

Different buyers have different needs. So what is a great buy for one person can actually be a poor buy for someone else.

For instance a runner who is planning on using their treadmill for over an hour a day, every day will need a commercial grade treadmill with strong running deck, excellent cushioning, high powered, well-built motor and preferably a longer running belt of about 55″ or more.

A 65 year old grandmother who wants the occasional light walk on her treadmill is not going to need that same treadmill. For her that same treadmill is actually a poor buy since it’s way more than she needs.

So returning to the Proform issue. Do I think they’re commercial grade treadmills that everyone will love? No.

In general, Proform units are economy, entry-level treadmills. They aren’t built with heavy duty commercial parts as some treadmills are and will not last as long as some other brands out there, especially if you pound the daylights out of them every day.

On the upside however, they have improved in construction over the years and the new models offer a lot more value than older ones. Plus they’re affordable for most people. And in this economy, that’s the only way some people are going to be able to get a treadmill. 

So if someone has a strict budget of only $500 or $600 then Proform is probably the strongest brand out there in this price category.

Because ICON is the largest manufacturer, they have the resources to build a better treadmill for less. And if you don’t plan on using your treadmill very often, you could probably get away with saving a bit and going with a starter Proform.

So those are several reasons why you may or may not want to buy a Proform treadmill.

One final warning: the resale market for Proform treadmills is huge. However what most people don’t know is that almost all manufacturers – Proform included – will not honor the warranty on a second owner.

So even if a seller says to you, “No problem, the treadmill is still under warranty”, realize that this means nothing to you. He’s covered – but you’re not.

And since you really don’t know the state of the treadmill when you buy it (heavy use, light use, etc.), you’re taking a chance that you could be out the money if your treadmill breaks down the day after you buy it.

This is why many people choose to buy new so they’re protected and they know the treadmill has not been used before. Plus with manufacturers offering discounts and coupons, you can often get a new treadmill for just a bit more than you’d pay for a used one.

The bottom line is that buying a treadmill is a smart investment in your health – but remember to do your research before buying so you can choose the treadmill that’s best for you.
