Hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving yesterday!  Now it’s time to get after the Black Friday Shopping Craze.

Here are my Top 5 Black Friday Fitness Gift Ideas and Reviews for the workout fanatic in your life…

1 Kettlebells

What says “From Russia with Tough Love” better than this all-in-one fat loss secret weapon cannon ball with a handle?  That’s right. The Russian Kettlebell.

What to look for in a kettlebell…
-Proper balance point of weight to handle
-Thicker handles for added grip strength
-Handle and Body (Bell) cast as one unit (some companies weld their handles on…spells disaster)
-Avoid plate-loaded or selectorized kettlebells for overhead lifts…that is a safety miscue waiting to happen
-Paint job.  Paint should be a textured epoxy to avoid chipping and wear very nicely as you reach your 100,000 snatch rep
-Backed by a Satisfaction Guarantee

There is a HUGE discrepancy in the quality of kettlebells on the market so choose wisely.  By far, the highest quality kettlebell is made by Dragon Door.  I know…I own about 120 of them.

4 Resistance Bands

Not the sissy ones you get in the your local sporting goods store or Target.  REAL Resistance Bands that are virtually indestructible.  Click HERE To see my Resistance Band Training Review

Here’s what Resistance Bands have to offer…

-Portability.  Take them ANYWHERE.
-Large variety of exercises. You can do endless exercises with bands because you can change your positioning and the angle of the band in multiple ways on the fly.  You can do every single exercise you can do with free weights plus many more.
-Easily switch from one exercise to another.
-Easy to set up. Bands can be attached to a door or a banister or step on for INSTANT workout capabilities
-Provide a total body workout.
-Bands constantly engage your CORE. Both Upper and Lower body exercises will require you to engage more of your core in order to stabilize against the resistance.
-Create resistance from ALL angles. Front, behind, side, low, high, overhead, below…every possible angle.
-Progressive Resistance. The more you expand the band the harder it gets.  Resistance Bands are the ONLY exercise tool that offer this.
-Increased coordination. Due to progressive resistance, stabilizers come into play much more.
-Great for all fitness levels.
-Inexpensive. Most bands are between $20-70 for a set
-Color-coding for the different tension levels (light, medium, heavy, very heavy)

One of the most common issues when it comes to health and healthy weight loss is the topic of going to the bathroom…as in #2.  It may not be the most pleasant topic but it MUST be addressed in order for you to get the weight loss and health results that you want.  Based on my experience, I would guess that 5 out of 10 (ladies probably 7 out of 10) of YOU are constipated.  That is having ONE or less bowel movement per day.  There is the reason you “feel” the way you feel.

When you are bound up and constipated you are storehousing toxic waste in your system.  This wreaks havoc on your immune system and hormonal system and is the main reason why a number of you are at a weight loss plateau and or struggling to lose weight.

Here is are some key contributors to constipation…

• Poor nutrition (high sugar / high carb)
• Lack of sleep
• Avoiding exercise
• Cumulative stress (family, job, boss, dog, finances, etc…)
• Low dietary fiber intake
• Medication (specifically anti-depressants, pain meds, and anti-biotics)

How can you solve this problem?

This AdvoCare Product Review is one of the most UNDER-utilized products on the market for Weight/Fat Loss and overall Health.
