With the recent scare about plastic water bottles, company’s are changing up their plastics.  Now they are producing plastic water bottles minus the hazardous chemicals. 

Nalgene has heard our cries. They just announcedthat they will start making their bottles without the controversial BPA. Of course, government scientists are only slightly concerned, and feel that there are no known risks to human health, but Nalgene isn’t taking any chances. They decided to make the switch in response to consumer demand.

It will take several months for Nalgene to ditch the BPA from their “Outdoor” line of polycarbonate water bottles. Just so you know, they do make other reusable bottles that don’t contain this questionable chemical. Look for their newly unveiled Everyday line. They’re made out of Tritan copolyester, which is dishwasher safe and BPA free. Of course, if you have old Nalgene bottles, I’d think of some creative ways to reuse them – piggy bank? (credit)

Cool Fitness Ball

May 8, 2008, under Buy It | No Comments

 

     If you don’t want to spend a fortune on gym equiptment for your house, then here is a great ball that will hit all your “target” muscle groups.

Danskin’s Core Ball Plus (starts at $35) is an exercise ball with weighted ball handles, resistance bands, and a balance ring. The balance ring provides beginner and intermediate users the benefits of a stability ball workout without dealing with wobbling and falling off the ball before you’ve really strengthened your core. The ring also keeps the ball in place, which means it won’t roll around the house when you turn your back for just a second. I especially love that this set includes resistance bands and weighted ball handles. They really add an effective upper body workout to the ball without the use of weights. It’s a great addition to your home workout and compared to most full body workout systems, it’s moderately priced  (credit)
