Let’s face it. You spend extra time in the kitchen cooking. You spend extra time sitting around the dinner table catching up with friends and family. And then, of course,  visiting friends and family usually involves constant snacking and eating as well.

It’s all good but by the new year, most of us are sick of the sight of food and definitely had enough of spending time in the kitchen.

Which makes this latest Healthbolt giveaway a real winner.

It’s a family pass for four to one of the 111 Souplantation and Sweet Tomatoes Restaurants located in 15 States across the country.

These salad-buffet style restaurants offer fresh produce and salads, made-from-scratch soups, hot-tossed pastas, freshly baked breads and muffins, fresh fruit, frozen yogurt, and more.

Sounds pretty healthy to me.

To be in to win, just leave a comment by 30th Dec telling us why you’d like to win this family pass.

Open to US residents only

The winner will be announced on 31th December and sent an email with the subject heading ‘Healthbolt Giveaway Winner’ with instructions on how to claim their prize.

And don’t forget it’s ‘every day a giveaway’ this month at Healthbolt.

Do you can often end up sitting on planes for hours at a time, suffer jet lag, and resort to comfort and junk food to survive long flights?

Then you could probably do with a Fit Traveler kit from The Fitness Boutique. It’s a fully-illustrated and practical workbook complete with free exercise band that lets you turn your hotel room into a personal gym. And it’s so easy to store away in the suitcase – it even has a pocket within the book’s binding to store the exercise band.

There’s also The Fit Traveler: Senior Edition aimed at the growing number of baby boomers out and about on the road.

Both editions provide instructions on how to get a decent full-body workout – including upper body and lower body. Diet tips are also included.

Healthbolt has one of each to give away. All you have to do is leave a comment by 26th Dec indicating which one you’d like to win.

This one’s a worldwide giveaway.

The winners will be announced on 27th December and sent an email with the subject heading ‘Healthbolt Giveaway Winner’ with instructions on how to claim their prize.

And while we are on the subject of monitoring the heart rate, does everyone know their target heart rate?  If not, you should check out this chart compiled by University Health Services at Berkeley.

They also offer these tips on monitoring your heart rate while exercising…

• Keep moving while you’re taking your heart rate. Your heart rate will drop within 15 seconds if you stop moving!
• Use your index and middle finger to take your pulse, not your thumb! (Your thumb has a pulse too, so you may get confused if you use your thumb).
• Where to find your pulse:
  • Wrist: Find the tendon running down the center of the inside of your arm. Take your pulse on the thumb side of that tendon.
  • Neck: Take your pulse on the carotid artery on either side of your Adam’s apple. Your carotid artery is pressure sensitive, so don’t press too hard! And don’t take it on both sides at once!
• If you have a hard time finding your pulse while exercising, find it before you go out to exercise and draw an x on it.
• You can also wear a heart rate monitor, which continuously takes your heart rate while you are exercising.

What more does a gal need in… running shoes?

Check out the Aetrex z591w runner.

It features…

• a Aeromax mesh upper with TPU Structured Logo
• Sky midsole for soft, long-lasting cushioning
• Web Suspension Footbridge for reinforcement and support
• PRS Midsole Technology for pressure relief
• supportive cushioning for medium and high arch feet
• 2 removable layers for fitting flexibility
• semi-curved, snug rearfoot and forefoot freedom

Okay, so I’m not sure I understand what all that means, but it sure sounds comfortable.

Aetrex is all about foot comfort. In 2002, they launched the iStep, an innovative foot scanning technology used by retail and medical communities to help consumers identify their arch type, shoe size and pressure points (known in the pedorthic industry as the “3 Essentials”) and to custom select the ideal footwear and orthotics for their feet.

Healthbolt’s got one pair of the Women’s Aetrex z591w Runner to give away.

All you need to do is leave a comment by 23rd December telling us why you need a new pair of running shoes and they could just end up as yours.

This one is for US and Canadian residents.

The winners will be announced on 24th December and sent an email with the subject heading ‘Healthbolt Giveaway Winner’ with instructions on how to claim their prize.

And don’t forget it’s ‘every day a giveaway’ this month at Healthbolt.
