Stadium Chair

I received the Ohuhu Stadium Chair through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Bungee cord cushioning 
• Comfortable
• Supports up to 400 Ibs
• Steel frame 
• Rubber nonslip skids on bottom
• Folds for storing and transportation 

The folding Ohuhu stadium chair is a far more comfortable seat than typical bleachers. 

The stadium seat is lighter than I had expected the chair to be, yet it's fairly sturdy. The steel frames can hold a lot of weight and withstand the weather.

The way the chair folds has a nice, built-in handle for easy carrying and transporting.

The back cushion is made with oxford material that is strong. The seat cushion is similar, but it features a bungee cord type design to hold the cushion around the frames. It makes the seat comfortable without extra padding or stuffing.

The rubber nonslip skids on the bottom of the frame does not sit or lay flat onto the frame. When the chair is empty, it tends to lean or wobble. When sitting in the chair, the uneven skids are not noticeable.

When I first opened the box that the chair came in, I could hardly mess with or handle the chair. There was a very strong smokey like smell, which came from the preservatives used on the material of the chair. The chair has been airing out for over a week. The smell has gone down some, but it's still fairly strong.

Pros:

- Comfortable

- Strong/Durable material

- Withstands 400 Ibs and weather

Cons:

- Very strong smell (which is slowly fading)

Eco Friendly BPA Free Sports Water Bottle

I received the Eco Friendly BPA Free Sports Water Bottle through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Easy to trasnport
• When empty the 20oz bottle can fold,  roll, or be flatten to 1/4 of original size
• Refill or open bottle to retain original shape
• Durable
• BPA and Phthalate Free
• FDA Approved
• Leak Free
• Recyclable 
• Lightweight
• Dishwasher, Microwave, and Freezer safe

When I first saw these water bottles, I wasn't sure how well they would work. I've tried other glasses or bottles made with silicone that had a smell or odor to them, which makes it unpleasant to use them for awhile. Plus, I wasn't sure how well these bottles would roll up.

I was very surprised and pleased that my concerns weren't a problem with MindBody Active's foldable water bottle. The bottle had no odor to it even though it's made with Food Grade Silicone. (Although, after washing it, I would still recommend putting a paper towel in it to help absorb the moisture just in case.) The bottle rolled up very nicely. 

When they arrived, the bottles were already rolled up, which made shipping them in a smaller package easy. There's a little silicone loop that is near the carabiner clip. You put it around the bottle to help it stay rolled up. I'm a little worried that this piece could break or snap, but for the month I've been using it, I have had no problems with that part or any part of the bottle. 

Unrolling it leaves the bottle flat until you open it or refill the bottle. It then pops back up in it's original shape, a 20oz silicone water bottle. The refilling lid is nice and wide. It's  a perfect size for refilling the bottle using a facet. The lid is easy to screw on and off. There's a little plastic cover that snaps onto the spout as well where you can get a drink.

The bottle has not leaked for me any of the times I've used it during the month. It works very well.

Forever Fused Infusion Water Bottle

I received the Forever Fused Infusion Water Bottle from Live Infinitely through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Allows you to add flavor to water using fruit, veggies, or tea
• Made with Eastman Tritan Copolyester, BPA free
• Dishwasher safe
• Comes with a sports bag

This infusion water bottle is designed a bit differently than others I have tried. Usually the infuser basket where you put the fruit, veggies, or tea are on top or on the lid of the water bottle. This infusion water bottle has it attached to the bottom of the water bottle, which means both ends of the water bottle can be unscrewed. 

I wasn't sure how well having both ends being able to be unscrewed would work. I figured it would leak, but it did not. No matter how many times I shook the water bottle, no water drops would come out. The water bottle was made to be shaken to help mix the fruit, veggie, or tea flavor throughout the water in the bottle. 

With all ends being able to be unscrewed, it makes it very easy to take apart the water bottle to wash it. You can wash it by hand or using a dishwasher. The dishwasher does not damage the water bottle, even the lettering on the side of the bottle with Live Infinitely's logo does not come off with many washes in the dishwasher. 

The lid is designed with a loop in the side to be able to clip the water bottle to a bag or belt. You can also hold it by the loop instead of the bottle. It makes it easier to carry.

There's only one issue I had with the water bottle's design. To get a drink from the water bottle, you must unscrew the lid. There's no spout or smaller opening to get a drink from. Although, a spout would make it harder to clean and possibly make it leak.

Overall, with each use, the infusion water bottle from Live Infinitely has been durable and worked well. It's easy to clean and does not leak.

Calf Compression Sleeves

I received the Calf Compression Sleeves through a promotion. 

Product Info:

• Helps support muscles
• Increases blood flow
• Help fight muscle fatigue
• Boost circulation 
• Helps recover faster
• Reduces pain from shin splints 
• Breathable and Durable
• 75% Lycra, 25% Spandex
• 2 sizes to choose from, great for calf sizes 11 inches up to 19 inches (medium 11" up to 15", large is 15" up to 19") 

When I first received the calf compression sleeves, I wasn't sure how well they'd work. I hadn't tried calf sleeve compression sleeves before.

When I tried putting them on, I had to roll them up, some what like how you'd have to roll up a pillow cover, leggings, or tights, to help get them over the foot and ankle. They were tight, but not too tight.

I felt more energized with these calf compression on. I could walk or jog longer than normal with these calf compression sleeves on.

The circulation and blood flow were better with these calf compression sleeves on compared to when I wouldn't have them on.

These calf compression sleeves are great for running, jogging, cycling, or walking.

They were also easy to wash and kept their stretch or size. I just washed with water and soap or stuck in the washing machine. I let them hang to dry, so they wouldn't shrink.

Jetsetter TSA Luggage Lock

I received the Jetsetter TSA Luggage Lock through a promotion.

Product Info:

• 2 Pack of TSA Locks 
• 3 Dial Combination 
• Flexible Cable 
• Sturdy and durable
• Made with Zinc Alloy

When I received the Jetsetter TSA Luggage Locks, the first thing I noticed was how lightweight they were. It allows you to lock your luggage without adding too much extra weight to it for when the luggage is weighed in. 

The 3 Dial combination is easy to set and use. The white arrows marked on the lock makes it easy to line up the numbers to get the lock to be unlocked.

The flexible cable makes it easy to thread through zippers without having to struggle to get cable or hook to go through. 

It's said that the TSA cable locks can be used and have TSA agents inspect your checked bags without having to cut off the locks. I have yet to travel since getting these locks, so I'm not sure how well that really works. 

These luggage locks don't just have to be used on luggage. They also work on lockers or other items that you would like to lock.

10 in 1 Bike Wrench

I received the 10 in 1 Bike Wrench through a promotion.

Product Info:

• 45# galvanized steel
• Premium quality
• Designed to remove and install screws
• 10 different sizes of wrenches

When I received this 10 in 1 Bike Wrench by CLD Brands, I had expected it to be heavier than it was. Even with it being made out of good quality steel, it wasn't a tool that would weigh you down if you carried it with you. It's a great weight for if you're taking it with you biking, whether it's in a bag or on you. 

The 10 different wrench sizes works great on the majority of the screws that I could find on a bike. It made it easy to maintain and work on the bike without having to switch tools or have multiple ones with me. 

Of course, it would probably get more use out of it during the warmer, nicer seasons. Since I got it in the winter time, I hadn't worked with it too much.

Boson Sport - Jumpe Rope

I received the Boson Sport Jumpe Rope through a promotion. 

Product Info:

• Can be adjusted to height
• Lightweight 
• Soft-grip handles
• Rope length of 8' 2.45" 
• Handles are 0.46' 
• Designed for someone 5'9" or shorter 

I was surprised at how lightweight this jump rope was. I was expecting something heavier. The lightweight makes it easier to jump rope for longer and faster without the weight of the rope slowing you down. 

When I first got out the rope, it was a little too long for me. It didn't work well for jumping. It was very easy to adjust based on the directions that came with the jump rope inside the box. They were easy to follow. 

The soft-grip handles were very nice to hold onto. The handles also fit comfortably in my hands.

My favorite part about this jump rope was that it didn't tangle! I didn't have to wait and untangle the rope like I do with some jump ropes. I also didn't have to worry about it getting tangled up together or on something while I was jumping.

Muscle Roller Stick

I received the Muscle Roller Stick by FLEXX Sports through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Great for runners or athletes 
• Helps stretch and compress muscles
• Reduces muscle pain or soreness
• Can be used before or after exercise
• Prevents muscle injuries 
• Reduces effects of lactic acid
• Increases circulation
• Weighs 9 oz. 
• 1.5" diameter
• 18.3" length

When I first joined this promotion, I didn't realize the center part actually moved to help massage muscles. 

This roller stick reminded me a lot of a rolling pin for cooking. In fact, I've tried using rolling pins before for sore muscles to help increase circulation. 

This muscle roller stick works much better to create a deeper massage. The roller stick rolls much better than a rolling pin. It's much easier to use. 

The roller stick is small enough that makes for easy storage or fits perfectly in a gym bag. 

I also didn't expect the muscle roller stick to be made with as much quality as it did. The muscle roller stick has a steel rod core, where the nine rollers are. Each of the nine rollers spin separately to provide a deeper massage. There's rubber hand grips to help improve the hold.

Sports Armband

Sports Armband by IArrow

I received this iArrow Sports Armband for the iPhone 5 as a promotional item from Tomoson. 

This armband fits pretty good, and it’s not too bulky. I still don’t feel as protected without my actual case on my phone with this. 

The phone slides in at the top, so it doesn’t slide out while working out or running. 

All the buttons are accessible with this armband and case. It’s pretty comfy too. 

Check out on amazon. 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
