You recently read my review of some great exercise equipment from Spri. These are some top notch products that I have really enjoyed using that are adaptable for the beginner all the way to the super athlete. Well – now you have the chance to win your very own Spri products!
In case you missed the post – here are the great items:
the 360 Step Pro
Step360™ PRO The unique Step360™ Pro is an incredible training tool that compliments workout sessions for all ages, fitness levels, and skill capacities. A flat, stable platform atop two independently inflated 360 air chambers is the secret. Adjusting the air in the chambers modifies the height of the platform, while varying the degree of 360° rotational oscillation. Durable, non-slip platform surface for more demanding jumping, landing, and bounding activities. Platform tubing anchors for combined strength/balance exercise moves.
Included with the Step360 Pro:
Step360 Training Wall Chart, hand pump, and an Instructor DVD containing two 18-minute 360 Training programs, along with instructor bonus sections.
the Xercise Bar
Get a full body workout with the Xercise Bar™! Stand on the tubing for standard exercises like curls, shoulder presses and squats. To change the resistance levels simply roll up the tubing around the bar, change the resistance of the Xertube being used, or do a combination of both! The Xercise Bar works with the Original Xertube™ by simply placing the handles of the tube inside the bar and then securing the end caps. The 32” bar can come apart for easy travel and storage.
The Xercise Bar is available individually, or as a kit. This item number is for the Xercise Bar KIT, which includes the Xercise Bar and 3 levels of Xertubes (Light, Medium & Heavy).One Free 8.5 x 11 Instruction Sheet Per Order.
Buy It
You can buy the Step Pro online for $150 and the Xercise Bar kit for about $50. You can also visit their dealer locator to find a store near you. You might also consider talking to your local gym about getting some of these tools for your workout or classes.

I saw on their FB page an article about stretching. Just worked out this week w/out stretching & wondered if it was important. So I learned I'd better not do that again!
stretching is important.

My favorite tip is:
Strive to feel comfortable because you are fit and not comfortable because you are hiding in sweatpants. Don’t let the scale dictate your mood and don’t live your life in a pair of baggy sweatpants. Zip up those jeans once a week! Just think, there’s no hiding in skinny jeans.

I would like to try the Kettlebell because studies have shown that it can burn up to 20 or more calories per minute.

My favorite fitness tip is from CHRIS FREYTAG'S WEEKLY TIP. She says that jeans also can give you a better assessment of how you are doing than your scale does sometimes. Head into your closet and find out how your jeans fit. Thank!

My favorite tip from the SPRI site was the instructions for the proper way to use a stability ball for back extension, especially the advanced move, which I hadn't done before. Thanks!

favorite tip from facebook
By adding a weight load to your walking routine or other aerobic activity, you get an elevated training heart rate, which in turn will help you burn more calories and more fat

Tips on how to use rubber resistance products to strengthen and tone your muscles.
Thank you for the great giveaway – (emscout9)
To tone your thighs: Finally, place both feet on the tube shoulder width apart, position handles on top of shoulders, and perform a Squat. I could use this one
Be sure to eliminate ant exercise that cause pain or discomfort. Remember, “No Gain, With Pain!! I love it!
I liked the tip that I should rest at least 48 hours in between tubing exercise to avoid counterproductive fatigue or injury
I like the excercise charts so you know what to do for each workout at each level.
By adding a weight load to your walking routine or other aerobic activity, you get an elevated training heart rate, which in turn will help you burn more calories and more fat

I like the charts
I love all of their information regarding resistance bands. Especially that the bands are color coded according to resistance.
Chris Freytag gives this Tip:
TIP: If you want your body to burn calories at the highest possible rate, even when you’re not exercising–sitting at home, working at your desk, even sleeping–you need to increase your resting metabolic rate. The surest way to do it? Build more muscle with strength training!
I need to stop thinking it is impossible to get in shape and healthy when chronically ill. I can still do strength training on the floor. Just takes some muscle building? I had forgotten this! Hubby I and have pact to work together and get in shape and eat better this winter so we dont sabbatage each other.
What a great giveaway! I need this!
i like the reminders to warm up and breathe deeply
My favorite is to do a condensed but intense workout when pressed for time during the holidays. A shorter workout with a more intense routine.
jweezie43[at]gmail[dot]com
my fav was from their facebook 7 Ways to Sneak in a Holiday Workout; the key is to be creative and remember that even short workouts are better than no workouts at all.
condense your workout into 30 minutes if really busy during the holidays “Customize your own 30-minute workout combining three lower body workouts (squats or lunges) and three upper body exercises (modified push-ups or chair dips)”
Be sure to eliminate any exercise that cause pain or discomfort. Remember, “No Gain, With Pain!!”
Stretching is very important when starting your workout.
always always stretch before you work out
I like the kettle balls
I like how they tel lme what resistance I should use
tmarie56@hotmail.com
I like the resistance tips – especially how they break it down into “how to tone arms” “how to tone buttocks” etc.
I loved their most recent article posted to facebook about fitting in a holiday workout. My schedule gets SO out of whack at the holidays.
I learned that when you use the rubber fitness products you only need to work out for minutes a day!
