5Great strap for carrying, and for stretch exercises
By Farnoosh Brock
When I first saw my girlfriend with her yoga mat so carefully strapped over her shoulder, I had to have mine. The yoga bags never worked for me. It takes a long time to put my mat in one, at least the one I had, and then after class I never want to put it back in after all the perspiration. The strap is great and it even fits my larger and bulky Manduka mat, it is reliable, and made of great material. I also have used it to do neck stretches and other stretching exercises so it already has been serving on multiple layers. Love it!

5perfect
By Jane Dough
I absolutely love this strap! It fits my yoga mat which is longer and thicker than normal (72" x 24" x 1/4"). Yoga mats are usually just 68 inches long and 1/8 inch thick. Works great!

5Very handy gadget
By K. M. Bernett
This carrying harness/strap makes carrying my oversized yoga mat much more comfortable. My mat is 1/4 inch thick, so I have to roll it very tight in order to be able to fasten the clasps, so you can figure that a thinner mat will go in quite easily.

5Great for wood foors at home and impromptu practice!
By lawmillion2005
Okay, when I received these for my birthday from some neighbors who know nothing about yoga, I almost laughed! I have strong studio and home practice more than 5 times a week and thought socks could not possibly work but hated pulling out a mat every time I had urge or time to do yoga. I am totally surprised though! I have hardwood floors and some tile and these keep my feet warm while giving me great traction for strong vinyasa flows. I like them so much, I am putting more pairs on my list for Xmas! Be aware though.. They run small so I am glad neighbors bought Medium/Large as they shrank to fit my size 7 foot just fine.

5Gaiam All Grip Yoga Socks, Pink Dots
By AMP
Love the socks! At first it takes a little getting used to having each toe nice and snug individually, but I overcame that quickly. I use the socks when doing aerobics on the WII Balance Board, and it makes a big difference when you are stepping on and off the board; the grips have enough traction where you don't slip, however, you can still move smoothly and quickly. They are true to fit, and true to their description-good value for the price. Whether it's yoga or otherwise, I would definitely recommend these socks.

5Unbelievable difference in recovery time
By Rich Griffith
I'm relatively new to running and found I would sometimes be sore the next day. My calves would be a little tired feeling after a run. Sometimes there would be shin pain, not splints exactly, but something uncomfortable. I'd read about compression sleeves for the shins as a possible cure and got these hoping they'd do SOME good.

They surpassed my expectations in every way.

I ran this morning and hours later I feel as fresh as if I hadn't run at all. I put the Zensah Compression Leg Sleeves on right after I'm done running and wear them for the rest of the day. I've heard of people sleeping in them, and they're certainly comfortable enough to. I just haven't. My shin pains are gone. My calves are ready to run much more quickly than before. It reduced recovery time dramatically.

I wasn't prepared for how well they would work. I thought maybe I hadn't run as far or as fast but that wasn't the case at all. I'm getting a second pair because I think I'll be able to run more frequently and well, I'm not doing laundry EVERY day and I'll want to wear these more often than I'm willing to wash them. They're machine washable and they dry really quickly hanging to dry. I haven't dried them in the dryer. I'm nervous they'll shrink or I'll ruin them. I'm a convert.

5Pleasently Surprised!
By Amaz7buyer
This is a great product! I bought this for shin splints and it will help you a lot more than you think. I also bought the CEP brand and these are better:

The CEP sleeves have more compression, but dont pin point as well and therefore dont prevent the pain as well as the Zensah!
Also the CEP have more space between the fibers of the fabric yet they are still hotter, and the mosquitos can still bite though. The Zensah stops mosquitoes and are much cooler (Temp wise). CEP and Zensah are both great, but for shin splints I can say without a doubt Zensah is better!

4Calf sleeves
By James E. Mclaughlin
I have had my calf sleeves for about 2 months now. I have tried them both post workout and wearing them while running. I like wearing them while running. It would be nice to have a second pair to wear after running. When I wear them for a run my legs seem to feel better at the end of the run. I am also able to wear shorts and still use the sleeves to keep my legs warm. I was and dry mine each time after running. They have been thorough the wash about 20 times now and are holding up fine. The reason I only gave 4 stars is the lack of information on weather to wear them during or after running. Other then that I enjoy the way they make my legs feel.

Benefiber is 100% Natural Fiber that you can mix with almost anything. It's taste free, grit free and will never thicken. So it wont alter the taste or texture of your foods or beverages.

5A fast, easy, and tasty way to get your fiber
By Scott FS
There are several ways to get enough fiber in your diet. The best, of course, is through your diet. This means more fruits and vegetables, and fewer fast foods and snack foods. The second is by using the 'bulking' fiber supplements that use the old standby, psyllium fiber. Psyllium fiber products such as Metamucil are effective, but many people don't like the gritty texture. After all, these products are ground-up seeds with the tiny seeds attached. The third way is to use a product such as Benefiber, which has a nice texture and dissolves almost completely in water or fruit juice, and is much easier to take/swallow.

I'd suggest starting out slowly, adding a bit of Benefiber to your morning orange juice. Add a bit more every day or every other day, so you body can adjust to the increased bulk in your digestive tract.

Our bodies were made to operate on a high-fiber diet. Native plants did not come as fruit leather or in popsicles. They came as whole fruits, fiber, vitamins and minerals and all of the other healthful products of raw fruits and vegetables.

I do eat a healthy diet, but I still use added fiber. Why? The bulking makes me more regular, healthy, and I feel better. I believe it helps regulate fat and cholesterol in my body as well. It helps mimic the diets we humans evolved with on our planet.

Recommended. I use this product all of the time. I still occasionally use the psyllium fiber products as well, just not as often since I've discovered Benefiber.

4convenient fiber
By demonreader
I am dieting, seriously, and while I have no need for "regulation", I am trying to increase my fiber intake without wasting too many calories on it. I also don't want to be bothered with mixing powders, or chewing tablets. This seems to do the trick. I would guess that it will remain part of my diet. Just wish they came in larger quantity containers. When you are taking 4 to 6 a day, the bottle doesn't last long. So far I've lost 25 pounds and have only 39 to go. And, importantly, I am staying healthy.

5Does Not Affect Taste of Beverages
By Eric Mayforth
Benefiber is a fiber supplement that comes in powder form. It dissolves in beverages without affecting the taste of the beverage. Someone in my family used this product without any other modifications to diet or exercise, and a marked decrease in triglyceride and cholesterol levels resulted.

5Injinji No Show Lightweight
By Hawkeye
These socks were perfect for me. I got a huge blister from running in my five fingers shoes the first few times. I picked up these (expensive) socks on a whim and couldn't be happier. They not only made my run blister and pain free, but I also felt like my feet could breathe better, although that could have just been in my head.

If you have five fingers shoes and get blisters or jus want a more comfortable run I recommend these.

5Love, love, love
By Galileo Galilei
I ran in Vibrams for about 9 months, barefoot, and it worked out pretty good. But after a while the shoes were destroyed by an unbearable funk that would not come out regardless of how much I washed them. After reading many others comment about this problem and offering the Injinji liners as a solution, I decided to give these a shot. Recently purchased a new set of Vibrams and got a pair of Injinji no-show liner - they are AMAZING. Much more comfortable to run in lined feet vs. barefoot AND after about 100 miles the Vibrams still smell like new. The Injinji's have held up pretty good, it's a very thin sock but resilient. The no-show cut is perfect for Vibrams. Highly recommend!

5Awesome light minimal sock
By Jim Fischer
After running my First 50 mile Ultra in July and trashing my feet I decided it was time for a change. I ran in a famous maker running sock and ended up with blisters on heels and under toe nails..ouch right??? After a little research I ordered a few pairs of these socks. They are super light weight. Feels like you have nothing on at all. It is great. I've run several trails in them and no issues. As I am writing this review I am ordering a few more pairs and a couple of original pairs with a little more cushion for road running. I like the compression my other socks offered in the arch but I will take blister free feet and toes over that any day. Give them a try. They are awesome.. (I normally run 40-60miles a week road and trail)

5HE WANTS YOU TO KILL URSELF IN 20 MINS
By HardCandy
I've been secretly wanting to try this workout for months but knew A. I wasn't in shape and B. there is no way I'm jumping on my floor (someone elses ceiling)but I was willing to give a 20 minute workout a try and for the price it's really a bargin. The warm up alone is heart racing and throught out the video Sean and one of the workout partners have to take a break (which doesn't make me feel bad) As for jumping up and down YEP they have it here but I just jog in place FAST and when the video is done I go INTO MY HALLWAY AND JUMP UP AND DOWN. You really work up a sweat quickly, and who doesn't have 20 minutes to spare (if your readingthis you have the time)even after a shower I'm sweating. It's worth the money and feel it the next day. I just wish they would come up with something that was apartment friendly but maybe it wouldn't be as effective. At the end of the video they have way to many endorsement for other products but hey it's still $20.00 for the disk. Great investment and I really like Sean as a teacher.

5As usual a solid Beachbody product.
By Matthew Heffler
**Full disclosure, I love the original Insanity workouts.**

So what is Insanity Fast and Furious?

Fast and Furious is the cure for those days that I don't have an hour to spare, but I should be doing Insanity with Ab Ripper X. Believe me, when I skip out on exercising I feel like crap for the rest of the day. This video nearly cuts the needed time in half and still leaves me drenched in sweat. Amazing for core days when you need to get in some good cardio beforehand, but time is limited.

Also, if you were considering doing Insanity and thought maybe it was too much... This could be a great starting point. Attempt to complete the Fast and Furious workout in its entirety for a week or two straight and you should be ready for month one of Insanity. You should probably throw in some abs every other day as well. It is never too early to start building your core. One day off a week wouldn't hurt either!

Great substitute for the full workout! It may be an even better starter for those wanting to start an Insane program, but may be a bit intimidated!

And if you purchase now I will also throw in... Ok Ok enough, I hope I have sold you. This is my one and only Amazon review and this is my primary shopping outlet, so that should tell you something.

5Intense!
By K. Brewer
Finished my first try with this DVD a couple of hours ago, and had to make a review! Let me just start by telling you about my own workout levels: I have worked out 3-4 days per week for the last 5 years after gaining a ton of weight on college. I have done everything from Tae-Bo, to the 30-Day shred, to Zumba, to P90X.

I am one of those people that finds it very tough to lose the fat, but can build muscle quite easily. Recently, I completed the P90X 90-day DVD's and saw some decent results, however, I felt as if I looked a little bulky after it, as the muscle flew on, and the fat was a little slower to come off. P90X was a great workout, and I felt a ton better after it, but after I was done, I wanted something that was a little more intense on the cardio to complete the transformation.

I went with the Insanity, and decided to try the 20-minute workout before purchasing the bigger package. Wow, it was intense! Even the warm up was harder than most workouts I have done, and the cardio is intense from start to finish! I was SWEATING. Jumping, running, core work, ab work all in one fast and furious routine! Even the guys on the video want to give up a couple times (which makes you feel a little better, to be honest!)

Its a perfect workout to do when you are short on time, or if you want to add it to an ab workout. I am hoping adding this to my usual workouts will complete the fat loss I am looking for. So, far, it looks promising, and I would recommend this to anyone who needs a challenging cardio routine (but would recommend that you be in decent shape, first!)


Ladies: if you are large-chested like myself, a supportive bra is a MUST for this DVD!! Also for the ladies: the trainer is not half bad to look at ;) :)

How it Works


Metamucil® is different than clear-mixing fiber supplements, because it has psyllium fiber.
We mixed both Metamucil and the leading clear-mixing fiber, containing wheat dextrin, with the recommended amounts of water. We then added cooking oil, dyed red, to both, to represent cholesterol. The psyllium fiber found in Metamucil gels and traps the oil like a sponge. The clear-mixing fiber does not. That's how Metamucil works in your body.
As the psyllium fiber enters your stomach, it forms a gel that traps and helps gently remove waste and some cholesterol. Clear-mixing fibers, like wheat dextrin, don't work like this.
Compare fibers today, and choose the fiber supplement that gels, traps, and removes—Metamucil.
It's different because it gels. It's Metamucil.

Why Metamucil?

Not All Fibers Are Created Equal
Metamucil® is the only leading fiber supplement brand that contains 100% natural psyllium fiber, giving you an unmatched range of health benefits.* And as for those other leading fiber supplement brands, there’s no competition—only Metamucil has the power of psyllium fiber.
How Metamucil Works
Studies suggest that the psyllium in Metamucil works differently to give you multiple health benefits.
  • The psyllium fiber in Metamucil acts like a sponge.
  • It absorbs some cholesterol.
  • Then, it gently removes waste from your system.
Why Metamucil Is Better
When the psyllium fiber in Metamucil is compared to the wheat dextrin fiber in Benefiber**, it's easy to see—you get more health benefits with Metamucil.

100% Natural Psyllium Fiber, like that in Metamucil, helps lower cholesterol***, is recognized by the FDA for multiple health benefits†, is the #1 Dr. and Pharmacist recommended brand of fiber††, and adds fiber to your diet.  100% Natural Wheat Dextrin Fiber, like that in Benefiber, only adds fiber to your diet.

* Based on published clinical data as of August 2009.
** Benefiber is a registered trademark of Novartis. *** Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 7 grams of soluble fiber per day from psyllium husk may reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol. One serving of Metamucil psyllium powder or capsules has at least 2.1 grams of this soluble fiber. Use as directed.
† Metamucil psyllium powder and capsules are indicated for treating occasional constipation and cholesterol lowering. Use as directed.
†† Based on Wolters Kluwer fiber supplement survey and Pharmacy Times 2009 survey.

5Fiber: A Brief History
By Robert I. Hedges
Everybody knows what Metamucil does. It has been on the market so long because it does it well. I take this product because my Doctor recommended it for good digestive and cardiac health. Some people (my Doctor included) feel that the benefits of a diet high in fiber, in this case psyllium, go beyond the GI tract and are beneficial to other physical systems. I have been taking this for several years (I take the capsules when I travel) with no side effects. Some people find the taste a bit objectionable, but I guess that I am just used to it by now.

Psyllium is used in Metamucil because of its very high mucilage content. Mucilage is the term used to describe a group of gelling agents made from plant fibers. Mucilage is made by grinding or milling the outer layer of the seed. Mucilage made from "Plantago" seeds is called psyllium husk. The mucilage from psyllium husk is a hydrophilic (water-loving), white, fibrous material. When water is absorbed (in this case in the intestines), the mucilaginous gel that forms increases in volume by more than a factor of ten, which, of course, is why it is extremely effective as a bulk laxative, as it is not digested by the small intestine. Because of this, psyllium mucilage serves to absorb excess water, while simultaneously stimulating gastrointestinal elimination.

As a socio-political aside, the United States is the world's largest psyllium importer, with the bulk (please pardon the pun) of imports for use in products such as Metamucil.

Now that you know all about the wonders of psyllium, you should know this: this is a very large container of psyllium. Very large. So large it does not fit in some cabinets, depending on shelf height. If you want to keep your Metamucil habit discreet, be forewarned that this is an extremely large container of fiber, and can be unwieldy to conceal.

Buying in bulk makes this a bargain!

5Lower cholesterol while increasing fiber
By Toni
I started taking sugar free Metamucil in place of Benefiber in order to get the cholesterol reducing benefit that Benefiber reportedly does not have. The aspartame in the Metamucil gave me headaches, so I had to switch to the sugared variety. The down side to Metamucil is that it does get thick if you don't drink it quickly. I used to just add Benefiber to my coffee in the morning and it was tasteless, clear and did not get thick. Very painless way to get fiber. But I do find the Metamucil seems to give me a better benefit as far as bowel regularity than the Benefiber did. I don't like the sugar in it but there does not seem to be a better alternative for me right now.
Another reviewer commented on the large container being hard to fit in the cupboard and even harder to hide if you didn't want to advertise your health issues. Buying in bulk for the cost saving does have its down side. Anyway, I keep mine proudly displayed in the cupboard next to drinking glasses so I don't forget to take it. But it can just as easily be transferred a little at a time into a pretty jar or tin, and replenished as needed.

5What's your poop telling you?
By CM
It's poop magic. Do you know what a ghost wipe is?? It's when you wipe, and the toilet paper is clean. Like you never wiped. That's how awesome this stuff is. When I don't take this stuff, it's like wiping peanut butter out of a shag carpet.

5Techno Muscle
By Andrew Moseley
I'm a technology guy who sits at a desk all day fixing problems and creating solutions. I get in early and leave whenever I can escape. There's no time for lunch almost ever. Well, I also happen to be an avid weight lifter and I need protein to maintain muscle mass. Bars are the solution. I eat at least a couple of these a day and can continue working or driving or whatever while I'm eating. I've tried a lot of bars and here's why I chose these in the end:

Positives:
- Good protein content level (not too much, not too little)
- Great array of vitamins to keep you healthy (I rarely get sick)
- A small amount of fiber, but not the kind that will leave you in a
meeting with executives squirming around from the gas. Some bars
have no fiber, while others pack it with the kind that kills your
gut
- A bit of sugar to pick you up mid-day if you're low (way better
than sucking down a soda)
- Drinks are messy, these easy and clean
- No sugar alcohols or soy protein (huge gas causers)
- Cheaper and way fewer calories than going out to lunch every day
- Faster and easier than making lunch every day

Negatives:
- Some people would list the sugar/high fructose corn syrup as a
negative, but those people must not have very high metabolisms
because these have less sugar in them than a cup of 100% fruit
juice and I find that I burn it off just typing all day. Otherwise,
I haven't found any negatives.

4Not usually Rock Hard
By BarEater
I have been eating these as meal replacements for many years now and while very substantial and chewy, they are NOT supposed to be rock hard. The previous reviewer must've had a stale batch somehow, or maybe faulty packaging had dried them out. At any rate, these are in no way candy bars! They are extremely chewy and taste like sweet and chocolatey vitamins. Yes, they taste like vitamins... but I have grown to LOVE them. Compare all other labels and you will find that these lead the competition - - Highest protein for the lowest fat and calories.

5Overall, pretty good
By A. Decker
As far as protein bars and meal replacement bars go, this is one of the better options I've tried. The cookie dough consistency is a nice change from the traditional protein bar dryness. The calorie count is high enough to make the bar a true meal replacement. It has enough protein for all but the most exacting weightlifter with a reasonable amount of fat (6 grams) for a replacement bar. It has more carbohydrates than I care for (50 grams) but that is a small complaint. All in all, taste, nutrient content and carriability are well worth the money spent on this item.

5Really Great!
By I. A Harding
This is the first protien powder I found. I thought it was OK. I tried others, they did not dissolve as well, had more gunk in them I didn't need, and tasted bad. Really, you can drink it with just water. It tastes like milk, mostly. Easy to get used to. I usually put it in milk.

Another thing, this is not just for bodybuilding. I had a nagging shoulder injury for months, after I started taking extra protien, it healed rapidly. It really does make a difference for soft tissue injuries.

I also find that it kills my appetite. It's 100 calories (180 with milk), but I don't feel like eating anything else for hours.

Check the nutrition info, and how well it dissolves; this is the only choice.

This is definitely the best protein powder supplement that I have tried and I have tried thirty (30) other top brands.

Only pros.

It has no flavor.
It mixes with only a few spoon stirs.
It is completely natural, no antibiotics, chemicals, and additives.
High protein and Branched Chain Amino Acids composition.

I hope this review helped!

5No Frills or Aftertaste Just Pure Protein!
By D. Trimble
I love this product! I am able to use it in many dishes because it is unflavored. This is particularly important in my life right now as my daughter goes through cancer treatment. I have added this to smoothies, banana pudding and even pumpkin pie for her. She needs the protein and she wants comfort foods. I have also added it to my coffee and it provides and extra creaminess as it is milk based. Oh yes, I also added it to gluten free chocolate chip walnut cookies. They too were a success!This is one product I will not be without
