DealDash Holiday Slim Down

Did you enjoy the turkey, pie, champagne, ham, and candy a little too much this holiday season? Don’t worry, there’s time to slim down before the snow melts with some help from DealDash.

Everyone knows that counting calories and hitting the gym is the only sure-fire way to drop those extra holiday pounds. In addition to getting a gym membership and downloading a calorie-counting app on your smartphone, there are other ways that you can tone up and get healthy at home. Let DealDash give you some suggestions.

One of the best fitness technologies that has recently become popular is the FitBit. I have seen everyone from grandmas to teens and everyone in-between wearing these little step-counting powerhouses. DealDash carries both the FitBit Alta and the Fitbit flex, which are both worn on the wrist. They come in a variety of colors and can really help keep you focused on your fitness, it’s fun to see how many steps that you walk per day and have friendly competitions with your friends and family.

DealDash also carries the newest in scales – the FitBit Aria Wi-Fi scale! Yes, it’s true, the scale has Wi-Fi, isn’t that amazing? The scale can recognize up to 8 different users so your whole family can get fit together. It can keep track of weight, body fat percentage and body mass index which all uploads wirelessly to your FitBit dashboard on your phone or computer.

Some people say “You can’t outrun your fork.” and that “Fitness starts in the kitchen.” Luckily, DealDash has a variety of kitchen items that you can use to assist in weight loss and fitness. DealDash has smoothie makers, air-fryers, and other small appliances that can make a big difference when you are trying to learn how to cook with fitness in mind.

When you use diet, calorie counting, healthy cooking, and exercise together you will see results significantly faster than the next person who is only using one of these strategies. Make lifestyle changes, be the healthiest person that you can manage, and build your way up to a slimmer and healthier you with a little help from DealDash.

Beating the Holiday Bulge with DealDash

Did you or a family member overindulge a little too much this holiday season? Maybe it’s time to trim down with a little help from DealDash.

There are a couple of different ways that you can accomplish this, diet and exercise, and of course the best course of action is to use both in conjunction. It will make you look better and feel better, too.

For starters, you might want to start with some light stretching and mild exercise using something like an exercise ball. You can get an exercise ball on DealDash by following this link here. If you would like to try something a little more difficult once you have mastered the exercise ball, how about trying one of the new compact sized elliptical trainers? They are small enough to store in a closet, but they provide a lot of the features the full sized elliptical trainers provide such as strides per minute, total number of strides, exercise time and calories burned while you exercise. You can find an auction for a compact elliptical trainer on DealDash here.

Next up is trying to eat right and get all of your nutrients and try to keep the calories low. A great way to do this would be to try and replace breakfast or lunch with a delicious, healthy smoothie. It’s possible to make a smoothie with a plain classic blender, but its much easier and faster to use something like a Magic Bullet. The Nutribullet Magic Bullet is a blender that is designed to be used as a space saving replacement for other appliances such as a blender, food processor, and electric juicer. The Magic Bullet is compact in size and consists of an electric blender base with a number of attachments. Here is a list of the attachments:

screw-on blade attachment
two mixing cups, one short and one tall
two handled cups, called by the manufacturer “Party Mugs”, which can be used to blend individual drinks
lids for the cups, intended for storing foods
an instruction manual which also contains a recipe book

If you’d like to try and slim down with smoothies, DealDash can help you with Nutribullet auctions here.

Of course, when you use diet and exercise together you will see results much faster than just doing one or the other. Start small, go easy, and build your way up to health and fitness with a little help from DealDash. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

Let’s Talk About Getting Healthy With the Magic Bullet

Are you or someone you know trying to get healthy this spring? Want to be able to show off that bikini body this summer? The Magic Bullet can help you with that.

Most people have heard of the Nutribullet Magic Bullet before. The Nutribullet Magic Bullet is a blender that is designed to be used as a space saving replacement for other appliances such as a blender, food processor, and electric juicer. The Magic Bullet is compact in size and consists of an electric blender base with a number of attachments. Here is a list of the attachments:

screw-on blade attachment
two mixing cups, one short and one tall
two handled cups, called by the manufacturer “Party Mugs”, which can be used to blend individual drinks
lids for the cups, intended for storing foods
an instruction manual which also contains a recipe book

The Magic Bullet is easy to use and can save you time, it’s much easier to clean than a blender. Trust me- If I had to clean a traditional blender I would be drinking FAR less smoothies than with the Magic Bullet. Here is a really quick and easy recipe that can be found on the Magic Bullet website:

Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Ingredients

a handful of fresh or frozen strawberries
1 banana
1 cup of ice
splash of orange juice

Preparation

First … Add all ingredients to the Tall Cup or Party Mug and twist on the Cross Blade.

Then … Lock On and mix until smooth.

Next … Drink up!

See, isn’t that quick and simple? Of course you could substitute frozen berries of any type instead of using the ice! If you like, you can also add in just about anything to power up the healthiness- spinach, protein powder, ginger, flax seed, the list is pretty much endless.

Smoothies aren’t the only thing that you can make with the Magic Bullet – you can make cocoa, egg nog, margaritas, and more. If you can dream up a drink (alcoholic or not!) that you could make in a blender, you can make it in the Magic Bullet quickly, easily, and with a lot less clean-up involved.

If you’re a person that staggers out of bed in the morning like me, and absolutely needs your coffee, the Magic Bullet can help with that, too. One of my favorite things to do is to take cold coffee that I made the night before and stuck in the fridge, add some ice cubes, and blend it all up in the Magic Bullet. Add a little whipped cream and you have yourself a “FREEpachinno” which has the benefit of not only being practically free, but also saves you a trip to the coffee place. Win-Win!

DealDash not only has the Nutribullet, they also have the Nutribullet Pro 900, and The NutriBulllet RX! Do your body a favor and head on over and check out these great space-saving juicer/blenders. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!
