A look at some Reebok Easy Tone, and Zumba, at eBay stores

I just started shopping eBay stores this year and have saved quite a bit, and learned a bit too. Therefore, I had to look.

For one reason, some eBay stores actually measure apparel, so you get size charts, so to speak, on items they were not available on! This is the first reason I had to look. The second is the price. I am interested in the Easy Tone tops, but at $55, well I had to check eBay stores.

I only search New With Tags, and I do not like to bid, so I go for Buy It Now items.
So far I found one, I think it was a black medium, (No measurements there on that one). And its gone now.

Today, I find just one Small, magenta, New With Tags, but it is a bid, and I am not a small, which it does tell us equals sizes 4-6. This one’s Resistone bands appear to be black, unlike the ones currently at Reebok. Perhaps it is a previous model?
Currently the bid is $42.95, and it ends on Dec 16th.

If you click on this New with Tags Reebok Easy Tone Athletic Top at eBay stores today, you will find this one. I am going to keep an eye on these, so I will post that link in this page’s right column.

When ever you shop eBay stores, be sure to compare prices with what the brand themselves are selling them for.
Here is an example:
I am also interested in Easy Tone Flip Flops, currently on sale at Reebok for $40.
Checking out New Reebok Easy Tone Flip Flops at eBay stores today I find them for, at Buy it Now prices, as little as $25 and as much as $50. That is at a glance of the page that will take you too.

If you enjoy bidding, more power to you, as bid prices tend to start much cheaper on things I looked at in the past. Where they ended, I can not say.

The other thing I was interested in lately in terms of Fitting In Fitness, besides keeping my hands from freesing while walking our Teddy dog, to your right, was
Zumba dance fitness, but at how many installments of what!?! Three $20 payments! No. I don’t think so. Not so fast anyway, as I am uncertain about the quality of the music too.
So naturally I looked
Zumba Fitness at eBay Stores, New and find nice flat rates starting at $20 DVDs and $10 CDs, at But it Now prices, cheaper for bids of course.

I am still interested in dance fitness, at home, and flip flops, because I know the pair of Crocs flip flops I wear all the time will not last forever.

So I will be putting these links to check often in the right column here.

Just remember if you shop eBay stores:
Always Compare with the makers price Before you buy!

Update 1/19/11: Reneging on my above statement about putting the link to ‘Reebok Easy Tone apparel at eBay stores’ in this pages right column. 

I will keep trying it. If it starts to show results, then I will put it there.

Workout with Every Move You Make

Easy Tone tops and pants have Resistone bands placed in them designed to tone and strengthen your body by creating resistance to each move you make!

They also will help improve your posture, always a great thing, visually and physically, and you’d get loads of support from these tight fitting tops and pants too!

Women’s Easy tone tops come in this rose color, as well as black and mid to sky blue in both short sleeves and racer back styles in sizes small to extra large
Reebok has no size charts, and said they look into correcting that!

These black women’s pants, currently, come in sizes small, large and extra large. I am thinking they ran out of mediums already, but I do not know for sure.

EasyTone Pant Introducing the EasyTone Pant ? part of our new EasyTone Apparel Collection, an innovative performance line that uses Resistone bands to create resistance as you move. Designed to tone and strengthen upper body muscles and improve posture and body alignment, EasyTone tops can be worn to work out or under everyday clothing.

Not only are these resistance training, like most quality workout wear, these tops and pants wick moisture away from your body, accelerate evaporation, have better ventilation, reduce chaffing and do not trap heat!

So far I am only finding these Easy Tone tops and pants for women. Perhaps they will get around to men later, if women like them. Hard to say, I might ask them later.

• These flip flops are now $40, down from $50 and available in 5 colors in the women’s section!

• The beige Easy Tone flip-flops, goes with everything color, is available in all sizes 5 to 12!

Sorry I did not have time to check out the other colors, or men’s styles…
Has anyone tired the Easy Tone footwear or apparel and want to share his or her experiences with us?
I am still intrigued!

Anyone have experience with dance fitness programs?

Aside from my walk Teddy, our dog to your right, for a half hour then carry him back, for about 15 minutes, 2 times most days, this is all the fitness I have managed to fit in.

Still better than before we adopted, Teddy, yet no cardio workout to be sure!

Does any one out there have any experience with Dance fitness programs one can do at home?

I have been thinking of trying to dance along with some Fosse stuff, like from All That Jazz, and Fosse, the movie.
Well to the best of my ability, anyway, then it did occur to me:
We just do not have that kind of space!
And like just doing a few ballet exercises each day, again, not a cardio workout, unless you Really Moved through it!

Then I saw the Zumba Fitness info commercial, which looked like it would rate, yet the actual music they were using for the commercial, was...not so good. Kind of like the muzak version of salsa, merengue and otherwise usaully great and moving music made... bland.

Is it like that when you buy it. Did they just use the muzak version on the TV commercial?

Anyone out there know?

Please comment to me here if you do cause I am intrigued!
Thanks!

My hopes to be learning Kick Boxing 2 blocks away fell through! Now I am faced with getting myself going, at home, which fails to happen, year after year or…I do not know what.

Walk, and carry, our Teddy dog longer and faster?
Possibly!

Trying to Act Local, in an effort to Fit in Fitness!

Recently my daughter started taking Tae Kwon Do lesson at a do jo less than two block away. More recently, I tried that Tae Kwon Do school’s kick boxing lessons!

Wow! What a challenge! I figured I would have audible creak in my joints for about a month! I do not even have joint problems!

That was something. It is suppose to be Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. I figure it will take me 6 months to catch up to the rest of the class, and even 3 to make it in 3 times a week

I learned two lessons right away about the virtues of Local Fitness Programs!

• If I can walk there, I am more apt to consider doing it.
• If a family member, in this case my daughter, is already a member, one may get a considerable discount!

I planned to start after my daughter’s school year settled down a bit. Week after this one, was my guess.

Then I learned the class might not come off at all, or it might, depends on how many people like me are interested….

So I figured I would look into even more local stuff:

Two Questions:

• How many pieces of exercise equipment do you have around the house?
• What would it take for you, or I, to get ourselves to use them?

Is this just me, or what?

Much has happened since May!

Yep! I bet that is true is everyone's life.
From my Fitting In Fitness, with the help of our dog, my coach Teddy this is what has changed the most:

From about late May, or early June;

• No matter how short we kept, (We! Ha! Thank you Susan the Groomer at Pet Smart!) Teddy's fur. (& he BITES!)
• No matter that I walked during the coolest parts of the day.
• No matter that I offered water every 15 minutes

He turned into the Carry Me dog!
I need more black shirts, and I do not like wearing black, especially in the summer.

Eventually, with heat waves of over 100 degrees, we even took much shorter walkes. All walks turned into, Then I carry him back.

I figure coach Teddy is helping me work up my upper body strenght. Just as his biting, unpredictably, has helped me sharpen my reflexes!
Nice of him, but a recent trip to the vet reveals that he has gained a few pounds. Now when a 15 lb dog gains 3 pounds, it is proportionally much worse than a 160 pound human gaining 3 pounds.

In an effort to help prevent our Teddy from out of shape related illness, I have simply made sure we take different walks daily.

This puts us on the path of Places We Have Not Walked in Months!
It worked!
It not only insures he takes a bigger interest in walking, more new scents and scenes for him.
It also insures he walks most of the hour, then I spend at least 15 minutes, or more, carrying him back.
It also helps entertain folks we pass on the streets! The most common comment we get is "who is walking who?" I just tell them, we are, we walk each other, take turns! Stuff like that. It makes people smile.

The effect is:
Teddy is walking further out
I am getting a tad stronger!
He, and other things I must lift teel lighter!

I cauaght a glimpse of myself in the mirror, with my tankini top on, getting ready to go to the pool...I have been over weight long enough to have trained my self to look always automatically, but this time I caught a glimpse, and LOOKED BACK!
The part, for a few inches below my bust is noticeably much narrower.
As in the ratio between my bust to underbust and waist was: WOW!
The rest of the look down, not so wow, but Thank You Teddy just the same!

There has been swimmign on a regular, well at least 1 to 3 times a week, basis this summer for me and my daughter!
Here is where I found my selft with not quite enought breath to swim the way I normally had. Granted, it has been decades since I swam regularly at all!

So I am looking into the E Cigarettes I saw on TV, found a coupon, posted it here in the right column. Usually smokes just hurt my checkbook. Now I find I am not up to breast stroking a short, width of the pool, lap! I am not taking this side stroking all the time! Nor will I accept it could be because I am 50 as a reason to be short of breath, in the pool!

Besides, cigarettes have cost too much for way too long!
I figure I could at least try the cheap, disposbnle e cigs soon, see how they are.

I will get back to you about that.

and about adventures in sun screen, rash guards, swimwear and the like

This time I will take  less than nearly 3 months to do it!

Hoping you are having a fun and enjoyable summer!

A Good, Filling Snack or pre-Breakfast in my case

As I mentioned back in March, I have been having a bit of a time finding something healthy, filling, quick to make for those early morning hours when I am actually awake, yet find no time for breakfast!

Thanks to my friend Holly, I found it.

At Holly's suggestion I tried mini shredded wheat cereal

Pleasantly bite sized, not overly fatty or sweet, and high in fiber!

She says the cheaper store brands are just as good, though I am not through eating

Post's Vanilla Almond Shredded Wheat, they do not call the small ones mini-shredded wheat anymore.

They come in a bunch of flavors too!

However, spare yourself the experience of the vanilla almond style as a cereal, with skim milk and nothing else.

It is Way Too Bland.

Dry it is excellent!

And Filling!
