Friday Loves- Product Previews

This week I was introduced to two fairly new products. When I saw both I was a little confused as to WHY anyone would want either of them, but I am slowly learning to appreciate them for what they are worth.

I am going to dedicate my "Friday Loves" to these two products!:

When you think of insanity what is the first thing that comes to your mind? A crazy lady. You after a day with teething/ sick/ angry children??? Or working out? (...and yes this is me. We all have our not-so-pretty moments. This just happens to be one of mine! )

Well apparently someone somewhere thought of something completely different when they heard that one four-syllable word. Apparenlty this person thought of... PAIN!!! When my husband was invited to practically kill himself with some work friends for 60 days he jumped at the prospect. Why? I have no idea. I guess I wasn't what he needed as motivation to get his body in gear. But the truth is... Ryan and Nick- You guys really have done something great! Josh is actually excited about doing something- even if it does make me want to claw my eyeballs out in pain!

So for our five year wedding anniversary I told him he could find the best deal out there and buy it online. I also told him not to argue about it because if he doesn't buy it himself, I would just go buy it for full price- which ranges over $150. Excited and feeling competitive he scrolled through amazon.com and ebay and found a brand new extended program version for $69! Instead of bidding on it for a lower price, he just bought it straight out!

I've done the fitness test twice, and he's started the program. IT HURTS. That's all I can say right now. My armpits hurt, my pectoral muscles hurt, even my stupid ankle muscles that I detest so much are hurting. I'll let you know as we progress how I really feel about it! :)

I saw something else this week that completely boggled my mind! Five finger Vibram shoes. They are what they sound like... TOE SHOES! .....

Do they not look like gorilla feet???? WHY? Is all I can think when I see these suckers. And in real life, I just laughed for a good 10 minutes.

I guess they're actually really good for your feet. Not only do they kind of remind me of aquasocks (water shoes) but they're universal. They can be used for running, swimming, AND rock climbing.

Society and fashion has slowly transformed how we are supposed to walk/ run into trying to make our bottoms look good. Did you know you aren't supposed to focus all of your weight on your heal? It's mostly designed for balance? I didn't know that and my feet can attest that I've been running incorrectly!

Rachel bought this exact pair (up above) and I was there when she put them on for the first time. Like I said, I'm a little confused by them. I guess I'll have to try them on before I can actually say if I love them or...HATE them! HAHA! As it stands I'd rather watch Rachel wear them while I suffer along in my crappy shoes for now.

For now! :)
