Having somewhere safe to carry your keys, wallet, cell phone etc while walking, running, and exercising is a real problem. We all have different ways of dealing with it, but I think Gracie’s Gear  has the answer – a top with plenty of compartments to place things.
Two lucky Healthbolt readers will soon find out how useful this is.
Congratulations to
Amanda
who has won a Gracie’s Short Top
and to
Tisa
 who has won a Gracie’s A-line Tank

Finding a place to put the keys or the iPod or the wallet or the cellphone when exercising is a constant problem.
But not if you are wearing a Gracie’s Gear top that has an innovative Power Pouch built in. The zippered pouch has 3 compartments within the pouch that accommodates for all sizes and shapes of workout essentials. And better still, it sits outside separately from the bra to keep objects from chafing the skin and improve comfort. And there is even a loop hole fabric for MP3player cord feed.
Sounds like just what you need for hands free workout.

I’m not much of a gym person. I’ve been known to join and then never quite get around to getting there.
I use pretty much every excuse under the sun not to go – it’s too cold, it’s too hot, it’s too wet, it’s snowing, there’s no time, it takes too much time, I have to clean the house (yes, I even resort to that one just to get out of going to the gym).
But I’m okay with exercising at home. There’s a crosstrainer sitting in the home office and often, especially when I’m suffering from writer’s block, I do 5 …read more
