What To Do When You Are Bored On The Internet

Right now, most of the world is staying inside because of COVID-19. Businesses everywhere are shutting their doors for the next few weeks. Perhaps you are prepared. You bought your comfort food, found toilet paper, helped fight against COVID-19, and have your family tucked comfortably away at home. Great, but now what? Most Americans are used to living lives on the go; running to work, grabbing lunch with friends, or going to the mall with the kids. Now, those options are off the table and the struggle to keep from being bored begins. Our tablets and computers help, but what do you do when you get bored on the internet? Never fear, you are in the right place. Keep reading to kind out some new ways that you can maintain your mental health and keep from being bored on the internet.

There’s No Place Like Home Gym

Home exercise — If you can’t hit the gym, find common household items to use as weights! Milk containers are great for that use.

Our first tip to avoid being bored on the internet is to go to the gym. No, not that gym, stay at home! Go to a virtual gym by finding workout videos online! You can get a complete workout from the comfort of your own living room. From yoga to stretching to improvised power lifting, sites like YouTube.com will have instructional videos for free that can guide you in just about any discipline that you choose. And online stores like DealDash remain open so you can pick up any athletic gear that you may need for your home gym.

DealDash has Fitness Equipment for You

Physical fitness is an important part of a healthy life. DealDash has many fitness items and equipment up for auction.

Do you live a healthy lifestyle? Many people either currently live a healthy lifestyle or would like to live more healthily. One of the biggest hurdles to overcome is finding time in your busy life to be able to fit in a trip to the gym.

Luckily, DealDash offers lots of fitness products that you can use in the privacy of your own home, and on your own time. Want to work out at night after the kids are in bed, but your gym is closed? No problem! Use these workout items when you want.

ProForm 440R Rower

Rowing Machine / Rower

My favorite piece of fitness equipment that I own is my rowing machine. I have it set up in my basement, and I use it for a few minutes at a time whenever I enter or leave the house since I have to walk right by it to get to my garage. The rower is a great strength training exercise. Also, rowing is an intense calorie-burning exercise, which is why it’s my favorite – it uses the least amount of time, but the maximum calorie-burning power. Although new rowers with less ability and training will burn fewer calories, the rowing machine is an excellent piece of exercise equipment for use in a fitness or weight-loss program.

If you’ve never used a rower before, please be careful and read all of the instructions. If you use the rower with bad form you can give yourself a back injury. After you have learned the proper form for rowing, shoot for 15-minute sessions at a 1-3 level of resistance. After you have mastered this, try to work yourself up to 30 minutes at a 3-5 level of resistance.

FitBit

The Fitbit comes in a few different forms, such as the FitBit Alta and the FitbBit Zip. They are great little step and calorie counters that can be worn on your body or on your clothing. FitBit even makes a wi-fi scale called the FitBit Aria, and it can help keep you on track during your fitness journey.

Exerpeutic 400XL Electric Treadmill

Treadmill

Almost everyone has used a treadmill at some point in their life. However, if you aren’t familiar with them, treadmills are the indoor motorized equivalent of walking or running in place. The treadmill is equipped with a belt that moves under your feet and you have to walk or run to keep up with its pace. You can set it to walk slowly all the way up to running quickly. You can also adjust the lift or angle of the treadmill so it’s as if you were walking or running up a hill. Your treadmill workout will burn about the same number of calories as walking or running outdoors, yet in your lovely air conditioned and internet equipped house.

Many people wonder if they can actually lose weight and get fit by using a treadmill. Thankfully, the answer is yes, as long as you put in the work and effort that it takes to use it consistently and increase your speed and angle. By training consistently (initially twice a week and then three times a week), you can improve your health greatly.

Losing Weight and Being Healthy With DealDash

DealDash realizes that losing weight and getting healthy can be a little difficult sometimes. That’s why they offer so many different auctions that can help you on your way to a healthier lifestyle. Getting started on your healthy path might seem hard, but you’re not alone, DealDash is here!

When you’re just getting started on your way to a healthier lifestyle, it’s good to start small, with easy changes to your current lifestyle. One of the best things that you can do for your health is to cut out almost all drinks except for water. No, no, I’m not telling you to give up your morning cup of coffee! I wouldn’t do that to you! However, I would advise to cut out the soda with your lunch, the beer after work, and the wine with dinner. If you are able to do this, and replace those drinks with water (or even sparkling water) on weekdays you will be well on your way to a healthier you. DealDash can help you with your plan to increase your water intake – they have water dispensers, kettles to boil water, water bottles, and more. Just click this link right here and it will take you to see some of the different water options that DealDash offers.

Of course, if you are trying to get fit, you will need to do some exercise as well. Walking is one of the easiest and most enjoyable exercises that you can do. Walking in your neighborhood with a friend or family member for an hour after dinner would be optimal, but since we are getting into the autumn and then winter season soon you might need to think about using a treadmill instead.

If you’re getting on a treadmill for the first time, or even more importantly if you’re someone who hasn’t had any strenuous physical activity for at least three months, it’s important to check with your doctor to be sure that your body can handle the extra activity, and ask them what they would recommend as far as a training schedule. For people who do exercise occasionally you can gradually increase the intensity of your exercise by increasing your speed and incline as time progresses. Just be sure that you start slowly. If you strain yourself, you will be in too much pain to want to work out the next day, and then your whole plan could be derailed.

If you haven’t quite worked your way up to being able to exercise just yet, you can gain health benefits by just swapping out your chair for an exercise ball. You don’t need to do any exercise with it just yet, by simply sitting on the exercise ball instead of the couch while watching TV you can reap the health benefits of increased balance and core strength.

May Is National Bike Month – Get Yours at DealDash

Most children and adults enjoy riding bikes in the nice weather. May is National Bike Month, if you need a new ride check out DealDash.

Bikes are fun for everyone who is able bodied enough to walk, from the smallest child to senior citizens. Bikes are not only fun, but they are the primary mode of transportation for many people, and burn lots of calories helping you get your work out for the day while you are enjoying a bike ride. Bikes are great for getting the family together for a nice ride around the neighborhood, and fun for small kids to just ride up and down the driveway. What kind of bike is right for you or your children or grandchildren, though? Read on below and we will discuss a few different types of bicycles and their targeted users.

Mountain bikes are ideal for biking on different kinds of terrains, especially rough and uneven trails. Mountain bikes have different speeds so you can transition from gravel roads to rough trails to a paved road with no problem whatsoever. Mountain bikes tend to be extremely sturdy and are built to take a beating and still last.

If mountains and rough trails aren’t your thing, how about a beach cruiser bike? Beach cruisers aren’t just for the beach! They have spring saddle seats for a comfortable and upright riding position, and swept-back cruiser handlebars for arm comfort. Beach cruisers are great bikes for the casual rider who enjoys a ride around the neighborhood instead of an intense workout. Beach cruisers are also a popular bike with seniors and vacationers. Personally, I have a Schwinn beach cruiser and it’s the most comfortable bike that I have ever ridden, and the only one that hasn’t caused me to have a sore body afterwards.

Lastly, we can’t forget children’s bikes! I’ve never met a kid who wasn’t excited to go for a bike ride. I got both of my older children bikes for Christmas and they are so excited for Spring to be here so they can go out and ride them more often. The most important thing with kid’s bikes is to make sure that you get your child the right size. I will include a chart below that shows what size bike (in inches) that you should be looking for when you are shopping for a bike for a child.

DealDash regularly has bikes for kids and adults , and even safety equipment up for auction. Please make sure that everyone in your family is wearing a helmet every single time they go for a bike ride, no matter how short or how close to home. It only takes one second to get into an accident.

So the next time you are in the market for a new bicycle or any of the other fine bike products that DealDash has to offer you should head on over, book your Bid Buddy, and sit back and enjoy the thrill of the auction. And remember, if you have bid up the auction to the point of retail price you should go ahead and hit the “Buy It Now” (BIN) button, because when you BIN the item for the retail price you get every single one of your bids back, immediately. You can then use them all over again to try and win another auction. Good luck and Happy Bidding, everyone!
