The Benefits To Investing In A Smart BMI Scale

Everything ranging from refrigerators, watches, phones, and even scales are going smart thanks to the ever-advancing digital technology. We now have the smart BMI scale that is quickly becoming popular because of its capabilities. The scale is used to measure the body mass index, which refers to the normal weight and the body composition in fat percentage. Therefore, a smart BMI scale uses an app to help track data and communicate the results with the user. The device collects data and stores it in systems like smartphones or computers.

Manitoba Harvest’s Hemp Yeah! (Protein Bar Review)

Oh no, here it is. Another protein bar review. Do they ever end? Truth be told, it seems like there is a never-ending supply of ready-to-eat protein snacks out there. It is hard staying on top of them all, but for us, it is important to know what exists because we’re asked for recommendations ALL THE TIME! We rarely find a product that is worthy of being coined innovative in any stretch of the imagination. When we do find innovative products, they’re not necessarily win-wins. For example, our review of Built Bar gave them credit for making a product that had a very strange texture. While we weren’t fans of it, we figured someone out there might be. Innovative? In a way. Enjoyable? Not for us. Enough of that old news though; what about Manitoba Harvest’s Hemp Yeah bar?

We’re Back!

We started this blog in August of 2012. It has been a real roller coaster ride ever since the beginning. I can’t remember the last time we went over a month without publishing an article. Sometimes, we don’t find the time to create our own work, but we maintain a steady stream of posts through partners and guests. That wasn’t the case this past month, but we’re glad to be back. Where did we go?

Celebrating Tet Fest in New Orleans!

Bao!

When we decided to move from Los Angeles to New Orleans, we knew that there would be less diversity. Even though New Orleans is one of the most diverse cities in the country, especially with its rich history, it is hard to compare any city in this country to Los Angeles or New York. We were, however, quite surprised when we discovered that there was a massive Vietnamese population here.

The Features That Make Assault Air Bikes an Ideal Fitness Equipment

The assault air bike is not an ordinary bike as you might think because it requires the use of both legs and arms. It would help if you used your arms to pump the handlebars while your legs are cycling, making this bike a full-body exercise. These assault air bikes use a fan to produce wind resistance. So, if you pedal harder and move the handlebars with much force, the opposing force intensifies.

Assault air bikes are functional, attractive, and built to last. They come with all the technical specifications and features of an air resistance workout bike. This offers users the ability to achieve better muscle tone and cardiovascular endurance without any pressures on their joints. 

This air bike-type equipment is most suitable for HIIT enthusiasts. Beginners will find this bike challenge, and advanced trainers can prevent muscle atrophy from occurring.

The fan mechanism uses air resistance placed in the middle of the air bike to make your muscles work harder.  This means the faster and harder you pedal, the higher the resistance level is generated. As such, air bikes belong to the set of equipment ideal if you are targeting a HIIT workout.

Impressive Features of the Assault Air Bike

Air bikes are different from indoor cycles, stationary, and spin bikes. However, the equipment gives you the same intense feelings of an indoor bike with its slight vibration and clicking chain drive sounds. The air bike does not offer a smooth and quiet ride because that is not the purpose of this exercise machine.

 An Adequate Exercise and Fitness Program Right Within Its Console

Hungry’s New Morning Routine

Who wakes up before 8 am? Who wakes up before 7 am? 6 am? How about 5 am? I know that we have readers of all ages on the blog, and while everyone is unique, there are certain populations who tend to sleep in more than others. For as long as we’ve been together, our alarms are usually set for 5:30 am. We like to walk Noke before other people are outside and get our day started. Recently, a few changes have led me to set that alarm an hour earlier.

I’ve been waking up at 4:30 am.

New Year’s Check-In Meditation

In two days, we will have finished January and entered a new month. What does that mean for you? What were your goals for January? What was your intention? Did you set any for the month? For the year? January flew by for Hungry & Fit and to be honest, we didn’t do great with our January goals, but we did alright on annual goals. Life works a little funny that way. It’s always push and pull like the tides. Just because you didn’t accomplish all 20 goals for your month (wow, might be too much?) doesn’t mean you are inherently bad. I want to guide you through a short meditation so that you can check in with yourself and be in tune with how you are and where you’re at.
