LA Psycle- A wonderful Spin Studio

January 22, 2015 by Danielle Leave a Comment

At the start of most years many people are all about exercising, getting fit, losing weight, and even more great New Year’s Resolutions. Jamie Froetschner opened her spin studio, LA Psycle, back at the beginning of October and has been bombarded with interested people ever since.

About LA Psycle’s Owner:

Let me tell you that Jamie is one of the most energetic people that I have ever met in my life. She could motivate a rock to get up and going, which is absolutely wonderful for her role as the instructor. Jamie leads a very active life and is always encouraging all members of the class to push themselves a little harder. Jamie has created a wonderful atmosphere to help people make very healthy life choices.

About LA Psycle:

There are two options for classes:

$5 drop-in
$50 for a 5 week pass

Class Times:

M- 6:15 p.m. (45 minutes)
M/W – 5:30 p.m. (30 minutes)
W- 6:15 p.m. (45 minutes)
T/TH – 5:20 a.m. (30 minutes)
T/TH – 6:00 a.m. (30 minutes)
T/TH – 4:30 p.m. (30 minutes)
T/TH – 5:15 p.m. (30 minutes)

The 5 week pass consists of 2- 30 minute sessions or 1 – 45 minute session a week.

The price for drop-in and the 5 week pass are the same. The benefit of the 5-week pass is that you will get to “reserve” your bike.

The classes are always first come first serve, and the 5 week pass people always get their spots before openings are posted to others.

In addition to the classes that are offered, Jamie and her side-kick Kristin, offer drop in classes on most Fridays and Saturdays to help get more people into the classes.

LA Psycle:

Let me tell you that when you enter the LA Psycle studio, you immediately feel ready to have a great time. There is always great music playing, and tons of smiling faces. Larned is a small community so everyone has gotten to know each other very well and everyone is part of a big family. Every single workout leaves you proud of yourself for working hard, and ready to come back and do it again for your next class. I know that I can’t say that about every other type of workout I’ve ever done!

About Spin Class:

Spinning is a specific format of indoor cycling. Only certified Spinning instructors are allowed to teach “Spinning.” Spinning is a cardio workout set to music and led by a certified instructor. Most classes last between 30 and 60 minutes, although some places offer beginner or intro classes that might be shorter. Jamie and Kristin both are Schwinn certified teachers.

Lazy Lizards Yoga Products For Kids

December 24, 2014 by Samantha 2 Comments

As many of you know, I am a yoga fan. I practice regularly, and have had my son and even my grandmother do yoga (at their level) with me. My son is, like many kids, wiggly and impatient, and yoga is great for redirecting that energy.

Lazy Lizards created a kid sized yoga mat with 12 poses printed on the mat along with a DVD to go along. Kids can easily follow along with the DVD or just use their mat. Their is also a space where kids can personalize their mat to make it their own- my son was completely horrified by the thought of drawing on his mat, but I think some kids would like to. My boy can be a little finicky, like his mother.

They have 4 colors of eco friendly, kid sized yoga mats, with poses printed directly on the mat, as well as the Lazy Lizards Yoga DVD. Introducing yoga at a young age can encourage a healthy lifestyle early. Kids love doing yoga, and it is great for them. Yoga comes naturally to children, they love to use their imaginations to move their bodies in creative ways. Have your child try yoga, and watch him or her grow from the inside, out. It is great for you to do together as well- something you both can do. It’s nice to have healthy activities you both can enjoy.

BOB Revolution Pro Duallie – Wonderful Stroller

Disclosure: The BOB Revolution Pro Duallie Stroller was provided for me in order to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” tab for more information.

I absolutely love to be outside and on the move. Each day my children spend a great deal of time playing outdoors, as well as running around with me. I have always been on the lookout for the ideal stroller, and was absolutely amazed at all the wonderful features that I found with the BOB Revolution Pro Duallie Stroller.

About BOB:

In 1994, Roger Malinowski, a bicycle industry maven, met Phillip Novotny, an airline mechanic, in the California town of San Luis Obispo. Phillip had turned a decrepit beach cruiser bike into a versatile, lightweight, single track bike trailer. He called it the YAK and was rolling them out of a machine shop on a small scale. Roger knew a great idea when he saw one and together, they took Phillip’s invention and built a booming business.

BOB was originally named Beast of Burden, but was eventually shortened to BOB.

BOB was first a great bike trailer that was completely amazing. However, Roger and Phillip soon began to start families of their own. They were inspired to design and build a superior jogging stroller that would be held to the same high standards as their trailers. The initial result was the BOB Sport Utility Stroller, complete with aptented suspension system, tough polymer wheels, easy-fold frame, a reclining, padded seat and several other features no one had ever put on a stroller before. They truly “wanted the best of a bunch of worlds”, said Roger. “A lightweight, high-quality stroller that you could still take running, hiking, or off-road and also fold up easily and compactly. The fact we could put all of these elements in one stroller is what really attracted people to it.”

Shortly after this stroller hit the market people started asking about a two-seat stroller, which led to the introduction of the Duallie in 2001.

Many changes have happened over the years which has left BOB one of the top strollers on the market in our country today.

About the Revolution Pro Duallie:

This wonderful stroller is completely loaded and ready for all of your outdoor adventures.

Some of it’s wonderful features are:

Hand activated rear drum brakes for added control to conquer hills & inclines.

21-Day Tummy: The Revolutionary Food Plan

January 2, 2014 by Admin Leave a Comment

As the holidays are winding down and resolutions or goals are made many people find themselves making a goal to lose weight. It’s no wonder considering we eat the most around the holidays. We’re stuffed like turkeys and well, who can help it? Good food is hard to pass up, which makes this 21-Day Tummy diet brought to you by Liz Vaccariello a solid win for anyone needing to jump start their year and make some healthy choices.

Diving into the book right away you are thrown a lot of helpful facts and tips. There’s practical tips everyone would need not just those trying to lose just holiday pounds or more.

Many of the recipes in this book are focused on getting the system working well. If our gut isn’t working the rest of us isn’t doing too good either. So many other plans target just dropping the pounds not the fact that some foods can trigger reacts deep within and cause us even more troubles. I found this to be a major plus in the book.

The recipes were easy to follow as well as easy to make. There’s simplicity in here and true focus which can really help those who suffer from a slow digestive system. This should jump start the gut and get you ready to start feeling better inside and out. I made a lot of sides from the books, salads and some of the dressings which are fresh and tasty.
