NOT the answer to your exercise prayers

Advantages: Good for use in aerobics classes
Disadvantages: uncomfortable, expensive, counter productive to your training!

...Gold Gym adjustable ankle/wrist weights Ok, welcome to The most pointless piece of exercise equipment I have ever used. This product is wrong on a number of levels. They are expensive, uncomfortable and also physiologically have more of a negative impact on training than a positive one. Let me explain. Here are the claims of Golds Gym with regards to their product. *Unique soft insert system allows for weight adjustment *(Changes in increments of 0.5 kg for a total weight of 2.5 kg each *Durable, dirt and water resistant nylon construction *Metal loop/velcro closure is secure and adjustable *Adding weights to your cardiovascular workout increases its intensity. COMFORT Ok so where to begin. well firstly the weights are extremely uncomfortable. No matter how hard you tighten the weights around your wrist...

Review of Golds Gym Adjustable Nylon Ankle/Wrist Weights

Finally! Something to relieve my sore itchy ankles.

Advantages: Great price, simple design, no overpowering smell.
Disadvantages: Stings a little if applying to very sore or broken skin.

...I suffer with severe dry skin on both my ankles/feet and I am constantly plagued by nasty looking feet. This is caused by eczema and I have tried a variety of products over the last couple of years with little or no difference in the dryness and the sore looking skin. I was browsing Boots recently and I have about £4.00 worth of points and wanted to buy something for my feet that would be reasonably cheap and hopefully work (why else would I buy it?!). Anyway, the product was around £3.50 and whilst I can't find the actual size that I brought online there is a smaller product (as per the Dooyoo picture) for 97p. The size I have is 300g and the product differs slightly from the picture above. It is in a white tub with a screwable lid and it has two labels advising what the product is for (dry skin conditions such as dry eczema...

You aint getting my ankles!!!!!

Advantages: Kills fleas immediatly
Disadvantages: Price

...I first discovered Frontline about 5 years ago. I bought my first dog 5 years ago and as it was my first dog was obviously nieve in certain aspects of owning a dog as we had dogs as kids but my mum looked after the general stuff we just cuddled them on our beds. After I had bought Bobbi she is my female Springer spaniel, we promptly went to the pet shop to buy all the relevant stuff that we needed. We bought bedding, bowls. Collar, lead and flea stuff. Well being new to this malarkey I just picked up some cheap Bob Martin Flea Drops I think they were about £3.99 and that seemed reasonable enough!!!!!! BIG MISTAKE within 4 weeks Bobbi had fleas along with my carpets and bedding. I felt sick to the pit of my stomach I panicked I just wanted the fleas to be gone and I meant immediately. I got bit on ankles and so did my son. I got rid...

I'm Strong Again!

Advantages: Stability, fit, flexibility
Disadvantages: None apparent

...Picture the scene, May 2002 and the summer netball league is up and kicking. I?m running backwards (always inadvisable) and catch my foot on a team mates, sending me flying to the floor and clutching my ankle which is starting to really (really, really) hurt. Fast forward a few weeks and I have made a slight recovery and am able to start playing again. But what?s that, a searing pain around my ankle, that can?t be right, maybe I should go and see a physio. Let the fun begin!! I first went to see a physio in the autumn of 2002, who did all sorts of grim things like pulling my ankle in all sorts of directions and doing ice massage. The diagnosis? ?well, your ankle ligaments are really lax, you could actually break your leg if you happen to go over on it again? ?(GULP), oh, what should I do then?? ?You could get one...

Review of McDavid Ankle Guard A-101

Voted Number One by Ankle Biter 1 and 2

Advantages: Great food and excellent service
Disadvantages: Depth of the pool

...other hotels in the chain and as Parco del Sole is the last pick up on a couple of occasions it was full. Alternatively the regular buses do stop near the hotel and cost 1 euro to reach town. There is also a taxi rank however other guests said these were expensive mainly due to the congestion allowing the meter to roll inexorably on and on. First Impressions Solid iron gates open out to a sweeping drive flanked by well maintained gardens and the occasional statue. At the top of the drive is an ornate water fountain. Immediately ankle biter number one and two are well impressed proclaiming it to be the most luxurious hotel they have visited. This rather presumptive declaration is not challenged by anything we see in the reception which is open and well set out with a large glass dome at one end allowing the light to enter. Check in is...

Review of Hotel Grand Paco del Sole

Anything to cool my expanding ankles down!

Advantages: Cooling, lovely packaging.
Disadvantages: Smells like deep heat a bit!

...I'm now 20 weeks pregnant and am suffering from sore and swollen ankles in the evening which drives me mad! I was willing to try anything. I spotted this in boots (with all the baby toiletries and pregnancy lotions and potions). It is part of a range of boots mediterranean products including lots elsewhere in the store which are for general use. The range is quite pricey as it looks quite basic but most pregnancy items are. It cost me £3.99 for 150ml. The bottle is plastic and clear with a label either side. On the front is a lemon, as the oils included are lemon (refreshing), chamomile (soothing), and lavender (relaxing). It claims to tone, cool and revitalise tired feet and legs. It is dermatologiacally tested and has all the usual warnings on the back. One thing which caught my eye was that the scent was 100% natural (goes...

Dyson Ball DC25

Advantages: Very light and very manoeverable.
Disadvantages: Bit too light and moves around a lot.

...The Dyson DC25 all Floors vacuum cleaner is a revolution in houshold cleaning. Not only is very good at picking up small pieces of dust and dirt,but the filters are washable which makes it cheaper than some other types of cleaners. I love the way it manoevers around furniture and as it has a small and low head it can get under the edges of furniture as well as under my radiators. Something my old Dyson couldn't do. It's very light weight, weighing only 7.5kg so it makes hoovering upstairs that much easier. The only draw back of this weight is that when you are using the extension hose to clean furniture, curtains or to get behind things, i found that if stretched to it;s limit the machine would move around and has caught me in the ankles several times. This is a little annoying as i have had to stand with one foot...

Walking on air!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...Many years ago on a holiday to the Isle of Skye I discovered I had forgotten to pack my walking boots! A trip to the Island outdoor shop was necessary and after trying on several different makes I finally opted for a pair of Merrell walking shoes. Fast forward almost a decade and I can honestly say these were the best pair of shoes I have ever bought. Sadly after walking many miles my shoes had started to show their age! A few months ago I decided it was time to buy a new pair. Having had such a positive experience with Merrell I knew I wanted to stick with the brand. A trip to my local Milletts revealed a few styles in the Merrell range. I have fairly skinny ankles and so find that high walking boots tend to rub my ankle bone. For this reason I wanted a trainer like walking shoe. I didn?t want anything to heavy either .The Merrell...
