Get in Gear: Must Have Gadget for Hiking
Seriously, sometimes I think I am MacGyver. Especially when I am out in the woods on a hike but the truth is that while I love the occasional hike in the woods (or along the coastline) I am no outdoorsy guru. That being said, I like to feel prepared at all times, especially when playing in the great outdoors.Body Wedge for a Full Body Workout

Prep For Your Workout the Night Before
Once the girls are asleep, one thing on my to-do list before going to sleep is to get ready for the next day's workout. It's such a relief to avoid the stress of running around trying to find my favorite sports bra in the morning, and once it's all planned out the night before, it's more likely to happen. Here are some things you can do the night before to get ready for your workouts.
Product Review: Colgate Wisp Mini-Brushes
Perhaps to encourage my after-meal tooth brushing, a friend of mine recently introduced me to Colgate Wisp Mini-Brushes ($8.50 for a pack of 16). Designed for dental hygiene on the go, these one-time-use toothbrushes come with toothpaste built right in — in the form of a "freshening bead" — and a toothpick opposite the brush end.
My initial reservation with these disposable toothbrushes is that they aren't exactly eco friendly.
Back on Track: Spin Salad For the Week
Of all the kitchen gadgets that help you eat healthy, one of my favorites is the salad spinner. I used to find them silly, but now that I have one, I use it all the time. With a little elbow grease, the whirling colander makes it easy to wash and dry lettuce in large batches.
Fit Gift Guide: Surfer Betty
The surfers I know live and breathe the sport, so giving a gift that supports their hang-loose hobby will be sure to please any surf-loving Betty in your life. From the home to the ocean, I've found a few fun presents that will make a surfer girl's holiday simply rad.
- Ted Shreds Surf Wax Candle: A lot of surfers can't get to the beach as often as they'd like, and this tropical wax-scented candle will remind them of riding that beloved board.
What's the Deal with the Bodyblade
Always on the lookout for new fitness gadgets, the Bodyblade has grabbed my attention.
The Bodyblade ($50-$160) is a tool that claims to use up to 270 muscle contractions per minute, and doesn't bulk you up. Basically you just take the long blade, shake it by pushing and pulling front to back or side to side, and then try to match the movement of the blade as it oscillates back and forth.
FitSugar Giveaway: BodiBeat
I believe that a playlist filled with driving beats is an essential for getting my heart rate up, and that is why I love the BodiBeat from Yamaha.
This cutting edge fitness gadget is a combo music player and heart rate monitor that also synchronizes the songs to the pace of your workout. It helps you run to the beat by changing songs as you speed up.
Get in Gear: Garmin Forerunner 405 Watch
I like a multifunctioning gadget. Take the iPhone for instance. It gives you phone, email, music, and Internet all in one.
