Description
Great for the kitchen, workout room, or home shop, this small digital clock/timer is useful in counting down cooking time, timing circuit training exercises, or tracking paint or wood glue drying time. No bigger than the palm of a hand, the timer is magnetized to stick to a refrigerator or stovetop or, alternatively, hangs via a clip or mounts onto a table with its wire stand. The large 0.7-inch LCD screen is easy to read and displays the current time in hours and minutes. When set for timing, the instrument displays in minutes and seconds and times up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds, which is ideal for monitoring cook times on dishes that require slow cooking, such as braised meats. The timer counts either up or down and emits a beeping noise when time has elapsed, which is easily turned off by pressing the Start/Stop button. The timer runs on a single AAA battery (included), and Taylor ensures complete accuracy in its readings through a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Richard Simmons Sweatin' to the Oldies [VHS]
List Price: $9.98

Description
Richard Simmons is the king of motivational exercise, especially if you're a beginner. This video workout is a dance party simulating a class reunion, with an energizing live band playing lively hits from the '50s and '60s, such as "It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To," "Great Balls of Fire," and "Dancing in the Streets." The singers and musicians sometimes come offstage and dance with the exercisers, adding to the energy and festivity. The choreography is very simple, low impact, light intensity, and appropriate for beginners and overweight exercisers. (You may not get your heart rate up if you're very fit, although you'll enjoy the music.) Richard doesn't do much in the way of cueing--he assumes you'll just follow along. His onscreen class has women and men of all body shapes and sizes, and everyone is having a blast. You will, too. At the end, the exercisers dance down the floor and the screen flashes how many pounds they've lost--several have lost more than 100 pounds. (22 minutes of aerobics, total 43 minutes with warm-up, cool down, and stretch.) --Joan Price

In today's difficult economic times, you may not want to continue with your high priced gym membership. Instead, you can get an equal or better workout at home by following this 6-step natural workout plan.
Gym memberships are expensive ranging from a low end $25 per month fee to a high-end $500 proposition. We need to ask ourselves, "What are we getting from the gym membership that we cannot achieve on our own?"
Health Clubs make their money from gym memberships not from attendance. If health club profits were based on attendance as opposed to membership dues, they would all go bankrupt. The reality is that most people feel like they have done something healthy because they joined a gym. But after joining, do they actually, consistently workout?
The answer is no.
Perhaps, in these trying economic times, you may want to consider halting your expensive health club membership that you probably don't use and trying a natural workout.
A natural workout consists of all of the exercises that you can do on our own without the fancy equipment. These free exercises are often better than their machine counterparts at the gym because they employ all muscle groups.
Let's take a look at a natural workout that you can do for free (or at minimal expense). This workout will produce results that you thought were unattainable without hefty gym fees. Additionally, when you are ready to workout, you can begin immediately without having to drive to the gym, put your clothes in a locker, and get looking your best (all of the things that prevent you from going in the first place). You can do this natural workout at home and you can begin immediately.
The natural workout is extremely simple and produces amazing results in your physique and attitude. This simple natural workout takes place in 6 steps that you repeat 3 times with a small break in between each one.
As you would at the gym, before you perform this work, take 5 minutes to stretch your body.
Step 1, Cardio: An important component to any workout is to elevate the heart rate. This makes for a great cardio workout and burns fat. You can jump rope or run in place to achieve this cardio workout at home.
Step 2, Push-Ups: Push-ups are a great chest workout. By varying your technique (placing your hands closer together), you can also have a very well targeted tricep workout. And, if you dare, try using your fingertips instead of your whole hand for a great way to build wrist and hand strength. All you need to do push-ups are gravity and ground, both readily accessible.
Step 3, Sit-Ups: Sit-ups work the abdominal muscles and will get you to the six-pack abs that you have always wanted.
Step 4, Pull-Ups: Pull-ups are known as a compound exercise because they work many muscle groups at one time. Though the dorsi muscle group in the back is heavily targeted, many other muscle groups benefit. You can install a pull-up bar in your house or buy one for under $30.
Step 5, Squats: Fitness trainers will tell you that squats are one of the best exercises that you can do. Squats work the glutes, quads, hamstrings and calves all at once.
Step 6, Dips: Dips, like push-ups, are a compound exercise which work the Triceps, Chest, and shoulders. Dip bars can be found at the part, online, or manufactured at homw.
This 6 step natural workout produces outstanding results and is much safer than a machine workout because it uses natural body and gravitational resistance instead of weights.
Join the fitness revolution instead of the gym. This 6 step natural workout will have your looking and feeling your best very soon.
