Sissel-Online.com

Sissel-Online.com has about anything a fitness buff would want.

They offer many fitness products. Items are listed under categories such as “fitness shop”, “sport”, “therapy shop”, “dvds and books”, “kid’s stuff” and “clearance”. I really like the idea of a therapy shop and the items available such as neck pillows, hot-cold therapy and muscle balms. Sounds great after after a hard work-out.

You can purchase books and videos to help with your fitness routine. Or exercise balls or most anything that will get you motivated.

What I found even more enticing about this site is the long list of exercises with instructions and graphics to demonstrate the exercises. Best of all, they are free.

I’m really impressed with this site and feel it would be a good motivator for anyone wanting to get into a fitness routine. Even if you don’t want to spend money on products, the list of exercises would be extremely beneficial.

Eco-running

Eco-running is something I had never thought of, and now I really wonder why, because it is good for the health, and good for the environment as well.

So what is eco-running? That’s simple! Put on your running shoes, take a couple of empty trash bags with you, start running, and whenever you see some trash lying on the road, the pavement or wherever you are, pick it up and put it in your bag. At the end of your run, not only will you have done some more exercise (picking up stuff while running IS a stride-breaking challenge when you’re not used to it), but you will also have helped keeping your area cleaner–or less dirty, depending on whether we want to see that glass half-full or half-empty.

Eco-running is nothing new in itself, but this movement doesn’t seem to be very well-known yet, and I think it’s a shame (Wikipedia didn’t even have an article about it until recently!). Of course, it also implies that you have to throw your trash bags in an appropriate place once you’re done, but that is sort of an evidence, isn’t it?

In any case, it is something I definitely want to try out. I’m already adding a little bit of my share to the spheres of ‘daily exercise’ and ‘keeping my planet clean’ by using a bike rather than the bus or a car, so why not push it just a little further? After all, a healthy living doesn’t have to include only ourselves–we can help in other areas by paying attention to what we do.

Healthy lifestyle: Finding a gym easily

I’ve been thinking about mentioning this here for some time, but was a little hesitant because I was afraid it would seem like raw advertisement. However, the more I think of it, the more I realize it can be useful nonetheless, and shouldn’t fall victim to the fear of seeing it being lumped in the same basket as unwanted advertisement.

A few weeks ago, I was put in contact with this website called GymTicket. While it is geared at people living in the USA ‘only’, there is no doubt that there are way enough US people hanging around here for them to be indeed concerned and interested with such a webpage. Simply put, GymTicket helps you easily find a gym near where you live, thanks to its database of over 15,000 gym clubs all over the USA. The only thing you need to input is your address, city and state. Virtual tours of the available gyms are even proposed, so that you can check them more closely from home before actually deciding to give them a visit ‘in the flesh’.

Why is this interesting in and of itself? Well, I bet we all know that starting out an activity program isn’t always the easiest thing in the world, and that not being aware of what the nearby gyms are can also be a deterrent–or a good, convenient excuse, depending on how one wants to consider it (aren’t we human beings sometimes quick to rule out a solution just because it hasn’t been put directly under our nose?). So, if getting a nearby address plus a short tour to start with can help a person take his/her decision, to me it is a good thing.

I hope this may be useful to you. Personally, I sure wish I knew a similar website for gyms in my own country.

My Fitness Pal

My Fitness pal is a website that you can easily count calories. You can also keep track of your fitness goals as well as calorie intake. The clean interface makes it a very simple program to use.

There is nothing to download with My Fitness Pal since everything is web-based. This means that you can have access to your information from any computer. You want to update your calories while at work. You can do that and then update again after supper at home. My Fitness Pal is 100% free to use and sign up is a simple process.

I’ve tried other online calorie counting programs and found them cumbersome and way too hard to really get into. I guess the simplicity of the pages really makes My Fitness Pal makes a good choice for me. If a food is not listed in their database, you can add it. There are some foods that might be regional and not available elsewhere. Simply grab the nutrition label and plug in the right numbers. The add a food screen is set up just like a label, so it’s easy to identify which value goes in which slot.

My Fitness Pal is really simple to use. It can be a great tool to help you keep track of fitness and eating goals as well as track progress.
