Fitness Equipment Company Fined

Perfect Fitness has reached a settlement that includes $425,000 in penalties to the Consumer Product Safety Commission over claims hat the company failed to report a product defect. The agency claims Perfect Fitness knew of a defect in its Perfect Pullup product in June 2008, but did not report the defect until December 2010, a violation of federal law. In February, the company issued a recall of 7,000 units of the product.  

People have a right to expect their workout equipment is safe, particularly when the company knows it is is unsafe and does nothing about it.  

Energy Boost!

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Do you find yourself crashing in the middle of the day, especially when you are trying to stick to a diet program?  Of course. We all do.  So what types of snacks can we integrate into our program that are tasty, healthy, and give us that push of energy so that we can make it in-between meals and through our day?

Almonds, yogurt, pineapple, whole wheat snacks, and edamame each can be interesting ways to boost your energy, keep you focused, and help fight food cravings that force you to binge.  Almonds are especially tasty with blueberries and you can add flax seed to your yogurt to add much needed Omega-3s.  You can add the pineapple to some lowfat cottage cheese and to sweeten the almond mix, you may add some honey.  Mmmm.

Each of these combinations not only boost energy, but they also help with one's mood, sleep patterns, blood levels, and mental acuity.  Snack healthy and stay fit!
