The OYO Personal Gym – lose weight and get fit anywhere and at any time

NEWS – For quite some time, my family has pursued a healthy lifestyle with major changes to our diet and our exercise habits. Personally, I have lost approximately 50 pounds, and so far, I have kept the weight off for over a year. As a part of my exercise routine, I walk about 2 miles every Monday thru Friday, back and forth from the railroad to my job. However, I work long hours, and I have not been able to utilize our treadmill at home as I would like to. Honestly, after a long day, it is sometimes mentally difficult to get on the treadmill for 45 minutes. Also, I was a bodybuilder for many years, and I much prefer to be able to target specific muscle groups for each and every workout. Since I no longer work out with weights, an effective option would be great.

Enter the OYO Gym! This exercise apparatus promises to give you the flexibility and ability to target the specific muscle groups, without the need for weights and all that goes with using weights. It touts itself as a total body portable gym, featuring SpiraFlex resistance technology that replaces weights. It only weighs 2 pounds and provides up to 25 pounds of smooth resistance, and it folds up small enough for you to carry in your bag or even in your back pocket. The manufacturer also claims that it combines strength with movement, without weight or momentum. In addition, they offer a free OYO app to help you with your workouts.

If you would like to learn more about the OYO Gym or purchase one, you can do so on Amazon. It is available for purchase for $149.95.

Where’s my passport? Topo Designs is introducing their new & redesigned travel bag lineup!

NEWS – If one-bag travel is your thing, Topo Designs has some new stuff to show you!

Topo Designs has upgraded their travel bag, with new 30-liter and 40-liter designs. Both bags feature separate compartments for your laptop, quick access travel essentials, tech gear, and small stuff, and a main compartment that opens flat with a U-shaped zip for easy packing. Both bags have stowable backpack straps and a removable shoulder strap in addition to sternum straps and a waist belt to help balance bigger loads. The 30L retails for $189 and the 40L retails for $229. Both are available in three colors: an olive or blue with red/yellow accents, or an all-black version for the more conservative-minded traveler.

As with all of Topo Design’s gear, the travel bags feature everything we love about their products: simple & functional usability, bomber construction, and a design aesthetic that reflects their outdoor style. I own the Rover Pack and Commuter Briefcase, and I’d highly recommend you give them a look based on my experience.

Check out the 30L and 40L Travel Bags here!

ZAGG’s new Flex universal keyboard will work with phones, tablets and smart TVs

NEWS – Darnit, I was all excited when I first saw the pictures of ZAGG’s new Flex universal Bluetooth keyboard for iOS and Android devices. Can you guess from the picture above and the one below why I was excited about a Bluetooth keyboard that can be used with smartphones, tablets, and some smart TVs? No, it’s not the built-in stand, and no it’s not the backlit keys, which is actually a pretty nice feature.

The reason why I was excited is because the images of the Flex make the keyboard look like there’s a solid platform on the bottom of the keyboard and the stand. Why is that so exciting to me? Because a solid platform would mean that you could use the keyboard and your favorite device on your lap like a laptop which feeds into my long time unrealized dream of forcing an iOS or Android tablet to work as a pseudo-laptop – on my lap.

But then my dreams were shattered when I saw another image and realized that the ZAGG Flex keyboard is actually comprised of two separate parts. The keyboard and the stand. It even comes with an ultra-slim protective cover so you can store it in your bag or purse. Sniff… It still looks like a nice little keyboard. The ZAGG Flex universal keyboard is available now at ZAGG.com and select Verizon stores nationwide for a suggested retail price of $79.99. For more information, visit ZAGG.com.

Keep your coffee in a Coffee Vault for freshness

NEWS – Coffee is expensive, so you want to make sure you get the most of the beans you buy.  There’s a lot of information about how you should store coffee until you brew it – keep it in the freezer, keep it in jars of various kinds, seal it in plastic bags, etc, etc.  The Coffee Vault folks offer a storage solution that is designed to protect coffee from flavor loss until you’re ready to use it.

There are two containers in this kit.  The bigger container can store 16 ounces of beans.  When you grind some of the coffee, store the grounds in the smaller container until you need it.  Each metal canister has a custom-sized scoop that stores right on the side of the canister.  The canisters are square, so they’ll fit together to save space on your counters.

Once coffee is roasted to release those flavorful sugars and essential oils in the beans, the environment starts robbing coffee of its flavor.  There are four factors that are the enemies of roasted coffee.

  • Light – Glass jars let light in, harming the flavor of your beans.
  • Air – Bags or non-airtight canisters let in flavor-diminishing air.
  • Moisture – Outside air lets moisture build up, weakening the flavor.
  • CO2 – Fresh beans release CO2, which must be vented.

Coffee Vault canisters block out light, air, and moisture.  Plus, the lids have patent-pending vents to release the carbon dioxide.  

The Coffee Vault Compact Coffee Canister Set is available at Amazon for $23.77.  Visit the Coffee Vault website and you can get a 60%-off coupon to use to purchase the canister set from Amazon.
