I am a busy mom, working a full time job, three children at home, and each of them having soccer or gymnastic practice I never seem to be home. Run home from work, pick up the kids, change and off to practice. It is after 7 before we walk in the door, and there is still showers and homework to be done, so who has time to cook dinner. So to the drive thru it is. One month I decided to truly scrutinize the amount of money I was spending down to the last dollar, and I was astonished to find out that I had spent over $60 just on take out food. That truly sickened me, not only was I wasting my hard earned money but I was teaching my children not to put healthy food into their bodies. Truly, their lives are as busy as mine, they have school, practice and homework, and how were they going to keep up their stamina with out feeding their body proper nutrition.

Customer Review: Received used book in place of a NEW edition
I believe I ordered a new book and not a “Used but looks like new”. I received a used book and don’t htink I will ever go with this particular seller again and would recommend you to do the same. The name of the seller is Kerbearstats.
Customer Review: A Life Changing Book
This is a book that can change your life. On the surface this book is about “harnessing chi” to improve your running, but it’s more about developing proper technique and developing your run into a meditative experience. This book helps you develop proper foot strike and position, leg bend and swing, posture, lean, arm swing, breathing, focus, developing speed and distance, as well as how to focus your mind on the run and improving. The authors also cover basics of stretching, hydration, nutrition … everything you need to drastically improve your run. I’ve been running for four years and have suffered through painful knees and lower back spasms without any significant gains in speed or distance, but in the month since reading this book I’ve nearly doubled my weekly average and the pains are gone. Truly a life changing book.

Customer Review: Pleased
Strong, solid, easy to inflate with pump, no smell. Makes a great chair for ‘active sitting’!
Customer Review: Not quite right
My husband bought this ball to sit on at his desk to help with posture. Unfortunately at 6 feet tall and 175 lbs the ball wasn’t tall enough. On the bright side our 3 year old was able to pump it all the way up. We did use the measuring strip that came with it to ensure it had proper inflation. Prior research indicated a 65 cm ball would be adequate. Apparently a 75 cm ball would have been a better choice.

Customer Review: A playroom must
Our kids 2 and 3 use this everyday in their playroom. We put a mattress underneath so they can plop off and have no fear of being hurt. My son is learning great control and confidence now when he might need to get out of some of the unique spots he finds to climb around this world. My daughter 2 is the talk of the playground as she is so strong from hanging everyday from her trapeze. She can almost completely cross the monkey bars like her brother unassisted because of her strength and confidence on the bars.
Customer Review: Grandma fun
We purchased this for our grandchildren. They have not used it as of today. It is for them when they come to visit Grandma and Grandpa.
