Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Colored Water Bottles with Poly Loop Cap

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Exercise and Fitness
from: Klean Kanteen


I've used Nalgene bottles in the past for hiking, but I don't hike much anymore. I needed a bottle to take water to work and some colleagues have been using Klean Kanteen for a while. They liked theirs, so I thought I'd give them a try.

At first I was looking at the brushed stainless, but it always gives me a chill -- as if I were biting down on aluminum foil. So I went with the painted ones instead. I got a black 27oz and like it. I sometimes wonder if I should have gotten the 40oz, but one of the guys has one and it might be a bit large for my application. Still not positive, so I might be getting one of those too.

It's not a thermos, so it doesn't keep it cold all day. But, it keeps it cool enough that I can drink ... Read More:

Seems to be substantially built and was easy to assemble. Works as advertised but has the ability to remove the over the door trim if you are not careful.

Perfect Pushup - Original

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Exercise and Fitness
from: BodyRev


The price has dropped on this item (it cost about 30 bucks on average) and it's worth it. I also tried the rival "Push Up Pro" as well and let's just say "you get what you pay for." Push Up Pro is decent and I don't want to knock it too hard, but as far as quality goes, Push Up Pro is lesser in quality than the Perfect Pushup. Does Perfect Pushup REALLY work? That depends what you mean by that. Are you going to get all ripped and huge like the guy on the infomercial? Of course not. But using the Perfect Pushup is definitely more challenging and efficient than conventional push-ups. You will see results if you stick with it. It's also less straining on the joints. You can't go wrong with this product if you don't have time to go to the gym ... Read More:

Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottles

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Exercise and Fitness
from: Klean Kanteen


I have had my 27oz. KK with sport cap for a over a year now and *LOVE* it. It has NEVER leaked and my water always tastes perfect as long as it's cleaned with hot water and soap on a regular basis. I noticed a review that claims otherwise, but that honestly surprises me. I live in Chico (where KK's were created) so they are a dime a dozen here and I have NEVER heard those complaints. Perhaps they got a fluke??

These are now my go-to gift, especially this Christmas.

P.S. Stickers adhere really well to it if you end up personalizing it like I have :)

CamelBak BPA-Free Better Water Bottle with Bite Valve

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Exercise and Fitness
from: Camelbak


I have been trying to find a BPA free water bottle that had a built-in straw and this one is perfect. I really dislike having to tilt my head back to get a drink. It's especially irritating when driving the car or bicycling. With this bottle I don't have to take my eyes off the road to satisfy my thirst.

Good product!

New Wave Enviro Tinted Stainless Steel Water Bottle (0.6-Liter)

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Exercise and Fitness
from: New Wave Enviro


If you are looking for a cheap and *very* light use bottle... this one works. If you are looking for a quality workhorse bottle... this is NOT it.

The quality of the screw cap ring is bad. There aren't enough threads to really get the top on tight. It either spins or leaks slightly.

The tinted paint layer is thin and does chip/scratch pretty easy with typical use.

They are made in China if that is a concern for you.

Save your money and buy a Sigg bottle for the same kind of bottle but much higher quality. Or a Klean Kanteen. I own both and they are 10x the water bottle. I have four children under the age of 8 that used these bottles and they just don't really hold up like the Sigg or Klean Kanteen.

Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer with Advanced Omron Health Management Software

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Exercise and Fitness
from: Omron

March 01, 2007
This pedometer is great! It seems very accurate, is easy to use and it saves all of the data for you. I haven't loaded the software yet, so I can't give an opinion on that. My only complaint is that the clip is not very strong. When I sit down, it pops off my belt - every time! There is a little cord and that holds, so it doesn't fall to the ground, but it is a little annoying. This isn't a problem if you are wearing it during exercising, but I wear it throughout the day to try to get my 10000 steps in each day.

P90X Extreme Home Fitness with Tony Horton - Set of 13 DVDs

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Exercise and Fitness
from: Product Partners LLC


After carefully completing P90X Classic and then P90X plus, I agree with all the positive reviews. There is no false advertising here, except for the assertion that you can finish these workouts in an hour (1 hour, 10 minutes is average). I found I got over the initial soreness in about 2-3 weeks. However, even after that, you go into each workouts knowing that you will be in some discomfort. Nevertheless, if you get through the program, I couldn't imagine not getting positive results. At age 48, my wife was amazed at what I looked like, and all those little aches and pains went away! While I only lost 15 pounds (I was not overweight before I started), the additional strength, flexibility, and endurance have stayed with me for several months after completing ... Read More:

New Wave Enviro Stainless Steel Water Bottle (1-Liter)

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Exercise and Fitness
from: New Wave Enviro


I bought a couple of these for my husband to use on his bicycle instead of using plastic bottles. The theory of the design is great... execution... not so great.

The quality of the stainless steel is lower than many other bottles. They are much thinner steel which causes the bottles to have issues with cold expansion.

I put ice water in the bottle and the mouth of bottle expands to the point where the cap doesn't stay on. It just pulls right off.

The threads of the screw top are not deep enough or enough period. It needs to have at least 1-2 more threads for the cap to go on tightly. It just spins loose if you try to tighten it. So it leaks.

Not using cool/cold water in the bottle just isn't an option in Texas. ... Read More:
