I'm In Love With The Iron Chest Master


Full Disclosure: I received products free of charge for the purpose of providing a review. This post contains affiliate links. My opinions are completely my own based on my experience. 

I'm always on the lookout for new exercise equipment. I have found that variety keeps me from getting bored, and different equipment utilizes muscles in different ways. So when I heard about the Iron Chest Master  I was more than willing to give it a try.

I'm only 4'10" and I have a hard time doing the chest fly machine at the gym. No matter what I do to the equipment I can't seem to get the machine set up to fit me. I do use weights to do the chest fly, but I know that I often lose form. Well check this out.



There are several different exercises that you can do with the Iron Chest Master. One is to do a push-up then slide the handles in together. (Notice my form isn't 100% correct. My arms should be straight instead of bent. I had too much resistance). I removed a couple of the bands, and then I was able to get the correct form (with straight arms) .  



You can also do traditional push-ups. 

(Check out my tan lines from working outside when we went to Texas this past week) 

The Iron Chest Master is like doing a bench press, dumbbell press, push-up, cable-crossover, pec deck, and dumbbell fly all in one piece of equipment. 

My initial thoughts? It definitely wasn't easy. But upper body and core are two of my weaker areas. I only did 5 reps of each exercise the first day. The following day I was super sore! In fact, I wasn't able to complete the set the following day and keep form. So I took a rest day. 

I was amazed at how something so simple worked so well. I worked my chest, my arms and my abs. (There is even an ab exercise that you can do. I tend to use every muscle but my abs according to my trainer friend. So I am having to work on targeting my abs instead of using other muscles.) 

My overall opinion of the Iron Chest Master is that I love it. I plan to use it as part of my weekly strength training workout. Another bonus is that it's light and easy to carry where I need it. It's easy to clean, and easy to store. I am well pleased with the Iron Chest Master, and I think you would be too.

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

Pinrose Petal Pack Review and Giveaway - 10 Winners!

Bear with me, I know this blog is mainly about fitness, nutrition, and occasionally about being a stay-at-home mom, but I got the chance to review what I think is a pretty cool product and I wanted to share it with you. I'm not one to usually wear perfume. I have allergies, and I'm super sensitive to smells. So usually I just bypass perfume. But when I heard about Pinrose , I was intrigued. Being someone who is constantly in motion, and I know that many of you are the same way, I found this product to be very useful.  I'm talking about Pinrose, and their fragrances are in petal packs. They are perfect on-the-go packs. And on their website they have a  synesthesia   test where you basically look at a series of images and they conclude from that test what they think would be your best fragrances. I found the test very interesting. However, you were supposed to go with your gut and not think too long. On one of the images I actually changed my mind and changed...

Marathon Training No One Said It Would Be Easy Or Even Always Fun

 No one said that it would be easy, or that it would always be enjoyable, and always fun. But when you've made a commitment - it's a commitment - and you see it through (and no I'm not talking about marriage, although I could easily make a correlation between the two ). I'm referring to my marathon training. See, last Sunday I had a 14 mile run on the schedule. Mentally I felt blah. Physically I felt 'ok' but not stellar. And when it came down to it, my mental blah won in the end and I bailed at 6 miles on my 14 mile run. If I thought I felt bad mentally before, I really felt bad mentally after bailing on the run. My trainer, being the trainer that she is, simply said, can you get in a 2 hour or so run on Monday? Gulp, I suppose so. And that's just what I did. It required me getting up before the sun woke up so that I could get in a 2 hour run before Hubby went to work. I am TERRIFIED of running solo in the dark. But I had bailed on my Long Run...
