My First Giveaway!!!!! Oxygenfit Body Plan Kit
Yes, I received my bands and ball for free. That doesn’t keep me from being honest.
Using my Oxygenfit toner in my fancy garage gym to aid my pull-ups.
While I don’t use exercise bands regularly (except for the above exercise which is my favorite way to work up to pull ups) they are perfect for those with a limited budget, space, or for traveling. Bands are affordable, light, portable, small, versatile, and convenient. You can easily throw them in a carry-on suitcase and eliminate one of the excuse factors when traveling.
After a bad experience with cheap bands (One broke and the handle hit me in the face bloodying my nose…yes it hurt like heck!) I was delighted when I saw and experienced the the quality of the Oxygenfit Toners (bands). What sets the Oxygen Toners apart from other bands? Attention to detail and quality construction. The plastic tubing is attached inside a nylon sleeve and the sleeve is securely attached to the handle. There is also an optional attachment called the Fit Stik that allows you to add more variety and use the Toners more like a barbell.
The square part is heavily stitched for safety. I can’t imagine this breaking!
The Oxygenfit Toners feel safer and more comfortable (no pinching) than an average exercise band. As long as you aren’t using the band as a swing or for acrobatics then the possibility of the band breaking is virtually eliminated.
The ball?
I’ve always bought cheap balls from discount stores and inevitably it felt like I was doing planks on a balloon rather than a stability ball as the plastic felt thin. However, the Oxygenfit Body Ball is akin to the higher quality balls I’ve used at the gym. Although, mine could have used a few more pumps of air. Speaking of the the air pump it was really easy to use. It took me 2 minutes and 37 seconds to fill up with air. Yes, I actually time it with a stop watch and, yes, I’m easily entertained.
While I don’t use a stability ball every day (I don’t use any one piece of equipment every day), I do use them to add variety to my workouts and prevent boredom. I consider it one of the better pieces of exercise equipment when it comes to price, effectiveness, and versatility.
The friendly people of Oxygenfit have offered to giveaway a Body Plan Kit (worth $94.95) to one lucky Girl Heroes reader. The kit will contain 1 Body Ball, 1 Light Toner, 1 Fit Stick, 1 door anchor, 1 Air Stik Pump, Motivational DVD, Fit Stik DVD, and Gym Technik Mobile Application.

I’m VERY late to this party but what an awesome giveaway! So I have been traveling and just caught up on my blog reading, and I love this! I’m a huge Oxygen Fan to boot!I know this is the last day of the contest, so I’m all over it
-I sent a Tweet on the giveaway
-I like doing stability ball hand walks, walk-up crunches and stability ball leg raises and I use bands to do rows & bicep curls- my favorites!
– I love the website and checked it out; and I’m like some of the others, love the colors!
– I don’t have a blog, but I emailed & IM’d your link to my fitness friends who do strictly home workouts and the girls who do gym workouts they’re all over it!
I think the coolest thing here is that it adds another option to our workout plans- That Oxygen vid gave me more ideas on how I’d use it if I won!
Great job as always! Good luck to all
Have a great day.
