Great Fun!

This is very addicting. It is great because you can change it up and it is not the same thing all the time. In just a month I have seen a difference.

Have fun and see results

I have to say that I really enjoy this workout. It is so much fun and I look forward to doing it everyday. I seen results after the first 2 weeks of doing it daily. I like the 20 min work out express and then I add on some of the sculpt and tone workouts to it. Have fun and enjoy yourself!

Love Zumba!

I LOVE doing Zumba! I am a big fan. I was looking for something fun to do on the days when I'm not doing Tae Bo, and Zumba DEFINITELY fits the bill. I am a huge clutz and not a dancer by any means, but I've still managed to do all the steps and figure out Zumba. I love all the different workouts in the set. They get my heart rate up so I really feel like I'm getting a good workout, but the workouts are also so much fun that the time goes by quickly. I always feel refreshed and energized afterward instead of tired. The music is great. Buy these! You won't regret it.

zumba

Great product. Takes you step by step through the process and makes it easy to learn. Have fun!

Fun adjunct to a workout regimen

I am an uber fit senior recovering from a year long lay-up from a back injury resulting in 4 herniated discs. I've just begun slow, short hikes and weight lifting and added Zumba to my repertoire. It's an absolute blast. For those with back pain, you can still enjoy a fun basic workout while avoiding the routines where there are some jumps and hops. I didn't break a sweat or breathe hard, but the stretching is so much fun and the music is habit forming.

Most of the dancers in the videos obviously hit the gym regularly to be in the shape they are in, so don't be fooled into thinking that, YES, YOU can look like THEY do if you Zumba daily. If you buy the Zumba set with the expectation that it is only an adjunct, you won't be disappointed.

Starting each walk from Zero Omron pocket pedometerHJ-112

Bought this from Amazon
If I take 4 walks per day and wish to know the total for each walk, how do I set the distance back to zero at the beginning of each walk w/0 doing a complete reset?
If I understand the note at top of page 19' it resets the display to 0 at 12:00 am automatically which is not what I want. I want to be able to see each walk distance.

Reset Button Removed

Although they haven't changed the model number it appears the device currently shipping no longer has a reset button on the front. That button would reset the device to zero for today, like if you wanted to measure a particular hike.

If you look at the product picture that Amazon has, that is a correct representation. However, if you look at the user pictures, or google for a manual you see that previously the product had four buttons on the front, one of which was that reset button.

I'm guessing some people were pressing that button by mistake and losing part of their day's activities so Omron decided to remove it. That's fine, except now if you want to reset the display to zero you have to stick a pin in the reset hole on the back, and then enter all your data again...time, stride length, weight.

Does this matter. To me it's a pain in the neck, but to most of the people who use the device it may be just fine since what they really want is to measure their total activity for each day, not a particular walk.

(Of course for a single walk, you just look at the display before you leave and subtract that reading when you are done.)

Seems like Omron could have designed a different reset button that was harder to press by accident instead of eliminating it entirely.

Whatever, it's not a huge deal, I just thought people should be aware of this.

Aside from that the device seems fine, and that is covered by lots of other reviews, so I won't repeat them. I just gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of my own needs. I also think they should have changed the model number when they removed that button.

nice, but doesn't count aerobic steps well

I purchased this pedometer in July! It's really easy to use and very lightweight. I like it a lot, but have noted it will fall off your belt if you don't make sure it's on there very tightly. Also, it doesn't count all your aerobic steps, yesterday it didn't count them for the first 3000 steps. But I still like it!

Great accuracy - display defective - costly & hassle to return

I purchased two of these early this summer. I found it to be easy to set up and very accurate. Within two weeks the digital readout started to malfunction leaving only a portion of the numbers legible. I paid for the return of it and another was sent to me that has worked well. The 2nd one, received as part of the original order, worked well for two months and then the same thing happened. Neither problem occurred after dropping it or other possible answers. I replaced the battery but the display continued to malfunction. When contacting the company, since it was under warranty, I was told I would need to send it back at my expense, pay another $8 for their costs and they highly recommended that I insure it as well. After realizing the cost I was incurring at this point was almost to the point of what I had paid originally - I decided to give up and try a different brand.

Can't insert battery

The screw for the battery compartment does not seem to be an isolated problem. The screw for the battery cover is an extremely small Phillips head. There is a flat piece of metal provided with a tab on each end. This supposed to be the screwdriver. Ordinarily this might work. But in this case the tab is too long to fit in the cross-slot. Therefore the screw cannot be removed so the battery can be inserted. I have jewelers screwdrivers but doubt they would work because the cross-slots are so small they appear nearly round. Makes it difficult to screw in or out.
It's a shame because the product looks and feels good. But with no battery it is no better than a paper weight, in fact not that good. It's not heavy enough to hold paper down.
There are MANY other ways to secure a battery compartment. Too bad they didn't choose one of them. I have sent this thing back to Amazon. Don't waste your time or money on this product.

great water bottle

Am enjoying this water bottle. It replaced a Sigg, which dented quite easily. The violet color is great. The base is small enough to fit into holders easily (in the car, golf cart, etc.). The only thing that is "different" is that it "chirps" when you drink from it. It must come from the small air hole in the top. It drives my daughter crazy when she uses hers, but I don't mind it at all! It's fairly quiet, but it definitely "chirps" !! The 27-oz. is a good size and I don't have to keep refilling it often. Very happy with purchase.

Hate these things.

Ok, they get one star for being attractive. And one more for using safe materials.

But they are horrible beyond that. I am shocked that anyone thinks they are any good.

They let more air than water in through the nozzle, and they make a loud, bizarre whistling noise. And if you try to remove the white stopper to get better water flow they will leak water all over you.

Yes, they do fit bicycle bottle holders, but if you buy the painted ones the paint will scrape off immediately when you take them in and out of the bottle cage (unless your cage is plastic - not sure about that).

AND - the little nozzle WILL NOT STAY OPEN! If you try to drink it will slide shut when it is barely touched. If you are standing very, very still and not moving and concentrate very hard, you can kind of hold it open with your teeth or lips and try to suck the water that way. Then it will probably stay open.

But of course, you are just going to get mostly air anyway, especially when the bottle is not completely full.

Sending ours back.

Great Durable Bottle

I've had this bottle for 2 months now and it has one tiny ding in it but otherwise looks like new. It has held up remarkable well to considering I take it everywhere, certainly much better than other bottles I've had or seen in the past. The 27 ounce is the perfect size too, a good medium-large bottle with a wide mouth which you can fit ice cubes in. Perfect for anything you might want it for. I highly recommend it.

They were as expected, but perspire like crazy!

I bought two 40 oz bottles with the sports cap. I use the Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottle Shoulder Sling (40-Ounce Bottles) with these bottles.

Pros:
They are lightweight, even when full.
The sports caps I received with my bottles make drinking easy. (To other reviewers who say these make noises when drinking from them: these don't chirp if I hold it so the loop part is up.)
Stainless steel bottle is durable.

Cons:
Cold liquids cause the bottle to perspire. Be prepared for a damp pant leg if you carry this using the sling.
With the sports cap, if the bottle is tipped over, it leaks, even with the outer cap on.

For anyone that cares, the two bottles are slightly magnetic. Small fridge magnets do stay on the bottles when placed on there. Apparently, this is expected because of the Klean Kanteen manufacturing process.

Klean Kanteen

Just got this in the mail today. Product is light, attractive and large enough for plenty of fluid (I have the 18oz version, plenty big.) Everything seems well made and sure to last a while as it is stainless steel. I prefer the Klean Kanteen to other manufactures because of the stripped down nature of it. The stainless steel look is perfect, very utilitarian inside and out. I don't really want or need paint, designs or special caps. Just hold my water for me. I'm sure it will do that for a while.

JanSport SuperBreak Backpack, White

Love jansport, always wanted a white bag and now i have it. I have no idea how i'm going to keep it clean but the white look so crisp i'll try my hardest. I heard scotchgaurd should help and if it's like my other jansport bag its and easy as tossing it into the washing machine and hang drying it. LOVE THE BAG!

Low Quality, NOT made in America anymore, and obvious + Bogus Warranty

I bought this backpack for college and after 9 months it tore in three places. Terrible quality. I paid 5 Bucks to mail it in for repair under warranty and after two months with no responce I called and found out that they won't fix anything because the damage happened, "as a result of normal use,".....well isn't that exactly why companies have a warranty? So that if the product you buy from them shows manufacturing defects that become evident through normal use the product is replaced? This company is a joke and only profits on the fact that they have huge name recognition, but this product was of very low quality and the warranty is a fraud.

Still the best.

I was weary of getting this bag after reading that the bags were of thinner quality, but I went ahead and purchased it. Although the bags being thinner was true, it hasn't been a problem yet and I've had the bag for over six months. The bag is still very durable, despite me having thrown my bag around on the floor. I've been using JanSport since I was in elementary school, and it still serves my needs as a college student. Thus, I definitely still recommend it!

Do NOT use this company

Do not use this company. We have had three shipping delays since we first
ordered this JanSport Backpack. The constant delays will mean it will take
close to three weeks to get this backpack. I just went in to Amazon to cancel
and I was not even allowed to do that.

kids love

purchased this bag for my daughter since she already had a janSport and she loves it.

Probably the best water bottle you can buy!

I'm very picky about my water bottles, but I think I found "the one." I got the 32 oz. black one with bite valve, and I know that drinking two of them a day will get me my 64 oz. daily requirement. It's fun to drink from the bite valve, but you really gotta suck on it. Luckily, you can interchange other Camelbak caps. It's definitely spill-proof. Love the carry handle. A bit hard to clean the bite valve, but I take a q-tip and that works. Very happy with this bottle.

Incomplete information in Amazon description

Yes, this is a 1 liter, blue, PBA free water bottle, but they don't tell you on Amazon not to use carbonated beverages in it. And that's how I start my day. It would cost too much in shipping to send it back, so I'll use it as a water bottle, not as an oversize mug.

Pretty good

I used the .75 size version of this product three times a week for almost two years before it needed replacing. It started to make a "farting" noise when I would drink from it, which is kind of embarrassing, so now I'm replacing it with a new one. I use this as my water bottle for the gym. I really like how I can hold it on my pinky finger via the little handle, as opposed to having to grip it with my hand as I walk around the gym. I like how it seals up, so that I can toss it in my bag. It sometimes leaks a bit, though, when I store it on its side. But, again, it's two years old. I run it through the dishwasher about once a month. Otherwise I just use hot water.

The one downside is that you can't drink a ton of water quickly from it. With a plastic water bottle, I squeaze the bottle and drink a lot of water within 2-3 seconds. This camelbak doesn't allow you drink a huge volume of water as quickly. But that's not a problem for my purposes.

The 1L size of this product is too big to fill up via drinking fountain at the gym. It's also too heavy to put on my pinky finger. The .75 size is perfect for my needs.

One thing: you do look somewhat silly drinking out of this product. You're basically sucking a nipple, and you don't tip the product while drinking, so it's not even obvious that you're drinking water. Kinda weird, but I don't care.

Great Bottle

I've been really happy with this bottle. It holds enough water for a workout, or a short hike, and shows exactly how much water you consume via the markings on the bottle. Easy to clean and care for.

LOVE this fantastic, light, water-bottle!

I LOVE the CamelBak! This is my 2nd one. I bought the largest one as my first one and a dark color and used it for my green juices to the point where I could not get the smell and taste out of it no matter how I washed it so remember to have a dedicated CamlBak just for your water. This one is the 0.75L one and is a light color so I can see the water. The Orange is a lovely color. I take this everywhere from cycling to yoga to driving around to bed with me. You can drink from the Big Bite Valve without spilling water anywhere so it's lovely to drink in bed. Thanks to the CamelBak, I drink more water, measure my water, find drinking water exciting and absolutely love having this reliable form of water bottle so I never ever use water bottles again which is much better overall. I highly recommend this product to anyone and especially if you are an athlete !!

joan

This product is too light to really be of much use as far as results are concerned. Guess if you do no physical activity it might make a difference.

Shakin' shakin'

I really enjoy this thing! Granted, this exercise could be done without the shake weight, but it is fun to have a prop to help with the shakin'. Be careful though to get used to the weight, and ease your muscles into it before diving into the dvd routine. ;)

Too Light!

Moving 2.5lbs around is NOT effective (unless your 10). Step Up to the Men's to get the job done.

ridiculous at best!!!!

This is a joke! If you don't want to ever really workout or ever build a single muscle than this is for you! Come on people!! Please!! If you don't want to workout or get in shape, spend your money on food!!!! Not something that simply makes you feel like you're doing something and makes someone else rich!! What's next... 3 second abs???!!!

broken

When i recieved my Shake Weight, it was broken. I am not going to bother to return it because after looking at it i don't see how it woul;d work anyway. lol

My son is addicted to these Adidas shoes!

My 10-year-old has been wearing this style for the past 3 years--it's his favorite shoe. I love them because they're "classic" and go with everything! Great shoes!!

Great price!

Very nice transaction - arrived quickly and a great price! The shoes are quality and have held up well.

MY SON LOVE THIS SNEAKER

BOUGHT IT WHEN IT WAS ON SALE $19 PICTURE DOES NOT DO THIS SHOES JUSTICE.NICER IN PERSON, GREAT QUALITY.

These shoes are HUGE!!!!

My daughter wears a size 6.5 so that is what I bought and they are waaaaayyyy to big, they probably won't fit her for another year or more!

Good girl's shoe

The size was true. The look of the shoe is nice -- it goes with many outfits.

Excellent shoe, outstanding service.

The shoe itself is light weight but rugged, reflective and good looking. I like the wide sizes and find it comfortable. The service (I understand is from "Road Runner Sports") was all that can be expected (as has been all my shopping experiences on amazon.com). I went for the free shipping and my shoes arrived ahead of schedule and for the price quoted. Overall I am a very satisfied customer.

BRAVO ZULU

I LOVE THE COMFORT AND FEEL OF THE SHOES. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
KEVIN M JACKSON

back again

I wore this shoe (or predecessors) for years and somehow quit. Just bought a pair (and quickly ordered 2 more) because I forgot how well it fit. I have a narrow fit and need the stability. I will not make the same mistake again. This shoe is for me.New Balance Men's MR993 Running Shoe

Simply the best for over 30 years

the classic New Balance 993 cannot be beat; well constructed, pleasing gray color, made in the USA, what's not to like. These run 1/2 small so order up. The amazon.com price is terrific; I do not know why [...] another amazon.com company is still selling these for list price of $139

Get the new balance yankz bungee cord lace system $8 sold on amazon.com, these bungee laces make on and off a breeze. They do take a few minutes to adjust but then you are home free. The gray with black look great on these shoes.

Sure there are better running shoes; and the real devoted runners will choose something different I have the new balance 1121 and these are better. But for a great quality USA made shoe with every size and width imaginable, the classic new balance 993 cannot be beat!

Quality lacking....

Within a month of purchasing my NB993 they began to show wear on the side of the shoe near the ball of my foot. The material is certainly less durable than the NB991s I bought several years ago. Surprisingly, the wear pattern on my one-month-old 993s looks similar to the wear pattern on my three-year-old 991s. I am very disappointed in this purchase.

Power Balance

I understand the criticism there is for Power Balance. Besides the balance tests I have an interesting experience with mine. I were one on my wrist and I noticed when I were it at night I am totally wired and cannot sleep. I figured out that when I slept with it I was up all night. When off I slept normal. Now I know the first time was not mental because I didn;t realize what was happeneing. Anyway, has anyone else experienced that? By this happening it makes me think something besides the balance tests are showing it works. Any thoughts?

Motivation, Motivation!

Simple as this: I use it for motivation. Do I believe it does anything? - No, but if you want a comfy bracelet that will remind you everyday you can jump higher, run faster or balance on 1 foot and looks cool at the same time I say buy it.

the thing works

I am not a compensated person for this company.

I am a person who has had foot and back pain for a year and after ONE DAY of wearing this bracelet thinking it was only for balance help, am pain free for the first time in a year.

Placebo effect or not, the thing works for me. No amount of skeptic or "hater" or person who thinks they're smarter because they're a skeptic can say anything to change my mind because I am an adult person who knows the difference between being in pain and not being in pain.

I am not in pain. Being in pain SUCKS, we all know this. We've "tried it all" so what's the harm in trying this? Being out a few more bucks? Go buy some more Vicodin, then.

Yesterday, I was a wreck at work (on my feet for eight hours) and could hardly walk without level 7-8 pain (at 35 years old) and fell asleep the second I got home from work because I hurt so bad. Today, with the band, I an 100% pain free and can hardly believe it. I am not afraid to walk or bend or wake up in the morning now. I am not in need of medication that will tear up my stomach or kill my liver.

Is this really so wrong? To feel relief from pain? Skeptics, go take a hike.

I don't know if it works, but it's a good looking band.

Isn't that really all that matters anyway? I bought one of these back in April to improve my workouts. I really didn't notice a change but I haven't taken it off since then because I'm afraid if I do I might fall over. I wear a black one just like David Beckham. For a trendy accessory PowerBalance is worth the money. As a sports improvement device though, it's a bit overpriced.

Fun topic for conversation

This is a great band to wear, simply for the topic of conversation. I took it apart, and I remain a skeptic as to effectiveness of the hologram.

Great and quick service

Received my items just a few days after ordering (much quicker than promised). I received what I ordered. Highly recommend this seller.

It does smell bad, but...

They do stink a bit and are quite oily, but you know... not so bad. I guess everything will depend on your tolerance level to put up with that. The smell does lessen after a couple of weeks.

set are great

Everything is perfect, except the Amazon shipping option is petty bad!! because the ONTRAC shipping company are don't have any notice to leave a package in my apartment front doors! WTH???? anyways, shipping taken 2 business day by Amazon....


The case left corner are broken, not much worry about!

Amazon free shipping made this a great deal.

It's a nice set of weights. Easy to adjust to the weight you need. I would definitely recommend that you also use a good pair of weightlifting gloves with these or the rough finish on the handles will be hard on your hands. Other than that, this is a good recommended product. Plus it was free shipping on Amazon, was suprised such a heavy product would ship right to your doorstep for free.

5 pounds less than they are claimed to be!!

Aside from the misleading label, I think it was a pretty good set of Dumbbell. Obviously, I need to pay a little more for separate plates to increase the weights.
Ok, here is the math: 4x5pds=20pds, 4x2.5pds=10pds, and 2.5pds for EACH of the TWO handles = 5pds --> 20+10+5 = 35
But the claim is "Cap Barbell 40-pound Dumbbell Set"!!
Another thing is the smell. It was unbearable when they first came. But after I cleansed it w/ water and then put them (not the handles) under the sun for a day, they are fine now. I saw some people complained about the oil on them, but I found nothing.

Love the safety and love the look

I like having this product on my keychain. It definitely makes me feel safer. I also like that it's easily removable - pepper spray can't be taken into large events (security will take it from you), so it's easy to just unclip and leave in the car when necessary. I've only accidentally sprayed it once, which is incredible for me because I fiddle with everything, so the closing latch is pretty secure. And aside from the safety factor...it's PINK! I actually get a lot of surprised compliments from people - including dates.

Good

Got it very quick. Haven't had to use it but I tested it outside, everything seems to work fine. Lets hope I don't have to use it! But I like knowing I have it. Good size & stylish.

Great for Every-Day Carry/Gift

This SABRE product was purchased as a gift for a real estate agent - she now happily carries it at ALL times. Its pink case makes it more attractive, and subsequently more likely to be carried in hand/in the open (Sitting at the bottom of a purse is often useless). The size of the spray/case is reasonable, and it is light enough to attach to any key chain & carry. Great product for women who are reluctant to carry an 'intimidating' product...not to mention, the price is right & it supports a good cause.

Great Product for Every Women to have

I am a college student who takes mostly night classes. I did a lot of research before I bought this pepper spray. It came in perfect condition and looks exactly like it did on the website. I have not had a chance to use it (I hope I never have to), but knowing I have it makes me feel better when walking alone. I did test it out in an open field away from everyone to see if it works and I had no problem with spraying it or putting the safety on. It fits in my purse and I have it on my keychain.

Hopefully she never has to use it

My girlfriend recently moved downtown to a fairly sketchy neighborhood. Not of age to own a gun, I went with the next best thing: Pepper Spray. I read pepper spray is better than mace and just dominates the attacker to I went with this. Test spray went perfectly. The handy key chain allows for easy carry and no excuse to not have it at all times. Hopefully she never has to use it, but just in case she'll be taking down her assailant and making them feel retarded with this pretty pink pepper spray.
