So I have decided this Spring that I really need to get in shape. I am not shooting for a 6pack or to be able to bench press my weight. I just want to be able to run around the block without feeling like I might have a heart attack. I have never been able to run. Even as a child I remember doing the mile run in PE class. That was the worst day of my year, every year! I could get half way before collapsing in the grass hyperventilating. Sad right? I know! That’s why I have made this a personal goal of mine to get my body moving.

To help my journey along I was super excited when I found Zaggora Hot Pants.  If you haven’t heard about them yet let me fill you in. The idea of the material is to help you burn more calories while you exercise. The material is really thick, almost reminds me of a wetsuit. It traps your body heat causing you to sweat more. Zaggora says:

*after 30 minutes of exercise, they can lead to a 12.5% increase in energy expenditure in the 30-60 minutes after exercise

*Increases heart rate and exercise intensity

*exercise at a 3% lower speed and 23% lesser incline to achieve the same heart rate range as someone exercising in standard exercise clothing

Putting them on the first time was a little challenging. I think it’s because I just wasn’t sure what to expect, and because they aren’t the same texture as other workout clothing.

Once I had them on it was love at first feel! They move great with my body, super lightweight and more comfortable than I expected. They do make a little bit of noise as my thighs rub together. I’m sure if my thighs didn’t rub together I wouldn’t have that issue of course…

They have a high waist which I find great.  Not only are the working my legs and thighs, but my midsection as well.  I seriously do everything in them now. If I know I am in for the day, I throw on my Zaggora Hot Pants and play with the baby, clean the house and then do my walk or run. When they say Hot Pants the aren’t kidding. I literally have to peel them off of my body. Generally I am not a sweaty person, but if I am in my Hot Pants long enough they are drenched. Which I am super excited about. I am hoping that is the cellulite melting off.

Because of the special material they do need to be hand washed. Which is not my favorite thing ever but a sacrifice I am willing to make. I am definitely going to need a few more pairs as often as I am wearing them. Overall I would totally recommend these Zaggora Hot Pants to anyone that enjoys activewear. By far the best I have yet to wear. Love love love them and I am sure you would also. If you check out their website at Zaggora.com you will see all of the great clothing they have available. I will be getting a matching top very soon. Also check out their own review section. People have lost tons of weight by using Zaggora. I’m excited to see what the future brings for me while wearing these awesome Hot Pants 🙂

Veggie Tales- The Little House That Stood DVD Review

We are crazy about Veggie Tales at our house! Seems like everything on T.V is becoming more and more graphic and not very kid appropriate. Kids are learning so much negativity at such a young age. Veggie Tales has a way of keeping my kids interested in their message while making it fun!

The Little House That Stood is one of my favorite DVD’s for my girls. Totally beats watching regular cartoons with no message to make an impact. This DVD combines all of the traditional fairy tales stories with all of the amazing characters from Veggie Tales to teach a powerful religious message. The 3 Little Pigs teach kids to have a strong foundation of faith to get through any “storm” life might bring. Too awesome!

My girls are 9 and 19 months. HUGE age gap. I love how Veggie Tales brings them together to do a common activity, which proves this DVD is great for any age. Josephine (19 months) loves all of the dancing, bright colors and the rockin’ music, while Nevaeh (age 9) can really get into the story line and take something away from the lesson. With a running time of 49 minutes I can actually attempt to get caught up on housework. Which is a bonus all by itself.

Story uses intuitive technology to access the photo and video library on your device and automatically organizes them into rich digital experiences which can be personalized, saved and shared.  This empowers users to focus on the customization and personalization of their narratives rather than aggregation and organization of their content, which truly sets Story apart from other multi-media sharing apps.

Story makes creating and sharing rich media narratives as easy as sharing a single photo. The app provides an easy-to-use and artful experience that automatically assembles photos and videos into shareable narratives based on time and location. Story offers creative freedom by allowing users to build stories from scratch, then edit and personalize stories in countless ways. For those looking for a quicker solution, Story does the heavy lifting, offering effortless assembly and sharing, empowering users to quickly and easily tell the stories already captured on their phones.

 

Story is now available for FREE on the App Store for iPhone and iPod touch, so I encourage you to download it here, explore the app and share your experience with your readers.

Story features:

 

  • ·         Effortless Storytelling: The Story App automatically finds the moments in the Photo Library on your iPhone or iPod touch, based on when and where your photos and videos were captured.
  • ·         Creative Freedom: Users can simply select a moment to share immediately, or personalize it with their own captions, pages of text, themes and layouts.
  • ·         Quick, Selective Sharing: With just a couple of taps, stories can be shared via e-mail or Facebook. They are visible in any browser to invited friends and family on Story.us. Stories can also be embedded on your website or blog.
  • ·         Preservation: All stories created are saved in the app and backed up by iCloud for future viewing and editing.

 

The Story App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at http://bit.ly/12eq7UD.
