Must-Have Fitness Gadget #2: Fit Kit

I came across this very innovative kit the other day and I think it is a must-have for people who travel a lot, work crazy hours or just don't have time to get to the gym.

This little gem is called a Fit Kit.

First we had the fitbit, now the fitkit. Lots of fit here are Stretch Naked!

This cute little kit contains

– Exercise band
– Resistance tube
– Jump rope
– Stability attachment
– Pedometer with safety alarm
– Reflective arm band
– ID tag



You can get 5 different versions of the kit - home, travel, office, dorm and golf. Each version has specific exercises and nutrition tips customized for your environment. How ingenious!

I especially love the office one. When I was working crazy advertising hours, it would have been awesome to have a little kit of goodies to take 15 minutes and workout!

And for people that travel and don't want to pay the $20 to workout in the hotel fitness center, this is ideal. It's slim and packs right into your luggage. L-O-V-E it!

And the best part? It's only $29.99! Great price! I think this would make a fantastic Christmas gift for your favorite fit friend or family member. Or a good thing to put on your list.

You can read more about this and purchase it online at FitKit.com.

Have a great Sunday Funday!

Just one more...

“Just one more.”

You know you’ve said it about tortilla chips at Mi Cocina.

You’ve said it about that one last drink when out with the girls. “Just one more cosmo.” Oh, that one hurt the next day.

You’ve even said it about one more top or skirt or pair of shoes while shopping. “Just one more” has gotten a bad wrap as an overindulgers famous last words. But what if you could take that “just one more” mentality and make it work in your favor?

Think about yourself sweating on the elliptical machine or the treadmill, whatever your poison may be. You have that cute new Nike top on and no one can blame you for wearing lip gloss while exercising. You look fab and are on your way to being at least 300 calories lighter. You glance at the time on the machine. 25 minutes. You just gotta make it to 30. That’s it. Then you are done. Then you can go home. Then you can be done with this torture device for the day.

But what if you went 31 minutes this time? Or 32 minutes? Or heck, 35 minutes? A 150 pound woman burns an average of 13 calories per minute during moderate cardiovascular exercise. If you went an extra minute during your cardio workout each day for a week, that’s almost 100 additional calories burned. And if you did 2 extra minutes, 200 extra calories a week!

Try it. It’s the little things that help you jump off that plateau!
