Now thanks to the wonderful Sylvie at FuelMyBlog and those generous people at JML Direct, I was recently sent a rather strange contraption called the Spin Gym!

Now to be honest I was really sure on how this was going to work and it did remind me of one of those optical illusion toys that I had as a kid with the card in the middle and a bird on one side and a cage on the other, you know the ones I mean

OK! But What Does It Do?

The Spin Gym is a handy new gadget that with a little practise and a daily 5 minute workout it can effectively strengthen and tone your upper body muscles, such as your arms, shoulders, back and your chest.

How addictive can it be to play a games console and have endless hours of fun?

Well, it’s very addictive and yesterday after spending the day with @quiffylaa31 I spent a fair bit of time playing on the wii and boy it was so much fun, ok, I may be a big kid at heart, but I’ve never had such a workout by just standing there waving my arms around a like mad woman!

Then in the evening after my niece had come home from school we spent a couple of hours playing Wii Sports Resort, wow, it’s even better with two people playing, I could only imagine how mad it would be with four!

So now, I’ve got to the point that I would love to get a Wii myself, it seems to be a great way to have a couple of hours fun and have a good workout at the same time, not like some other systems where you just sit on your backside and twiddle your thumbs.

Having the Wii bug, it’s now time for me decide, do I fork out some of my hard-earned cash for a Wii Console, it’s probably certainly cheaper than paying for gym membership and travel expenses to get to the Gym and on the plus side, it’s all done in the comfort of my own home and I can include the family to have fun on my own Wii Console.

Too be honest I’m not too sure what to do, it’s a lot of money to spend, but then again, you can’t take it with you can you

The wonderful @Sylvie over at FuelMyBlog enticed me yet again with an offer to review something a little new, so without any hesitation I shouted YES!!!

This time it was for some Trainers called Shape Ups Skechers Shape Ups are trainers that allow you to get in to shape without spending time at a gym, hard to believe I know, but true non the less. Read the rest of this entry »
