The Step Body Fusion Kit Review

All together I think this is a pretty good deal for someone looking to get started with aerobic exercise. The components are of decent quality: the band didn't seem like it would snap and the ball was easy to inflate. At the time I was looking into prices, it was quite a bit cheaper to get everything as a set then to buy two or three of the individual pieces separately.
The included workout DVD is good as well, with a mix of step aerobics and light weight lifting using the dumbbells and band.
I believe the step is slightly smaller in side to side length then the steps you can buy individually. A better step or more weights would have bumped this up to five stars, but that being said, I haven't seen anything better on sale.
One note of caution: when I first received the package, the cardboard box containing everything was broken and the weights were missing. I wrote Amazon and they sent me a replacement and a pre-paid return shipping label fairly quickly, even though the actual merchant was Target.

Valeo Yoga Mat, Purple Review

Valeo Yoga Mat, Purple

I find this dark plum-colored mat attractive, sticky and a stable source for downward dog poses, upward bow variations, shoulder stands and everything else. It's long enough for me to keep my entire body on the mat when lying down (I'm 5'4). It's a good, basic product. The mat didn't even have a strong "new mat" smell when freshly opened, which was a plus.
My husband uses the mat for more conventional workouts - as a base for crunches and push ups. We've even used it for tai chi and qi gong.
At a good price point, this product's usefulness lies in between a light traveling yoga mat and a thick plush one. I found it too big to fold into my suitcase when I took a flight (actually, it could have been squished down to fit, but took up more room than I had to spare). So I do have to travel without a mat when I fly.
On the other hand, the mat is on the thin side when using over a bare, non-carpeted flooring. I have tried some of my friends' thicker mats, and those are much more comfortable on the heels of the hands in sideways planks and frequent knee-bearing transitions.
In a way, it might be better to have two mats - one light, thin one for traveling, and one thick, plush one for home use. I have actually ordered a second mat for my husband that I plan to use when he is not, doubling up on the mats for extra cushy comfort.
However, if you are limited in space or budget, or otherwise only need one good fitness/yoga mat, this mat is a solid choice.
Recommended.
