Puts the gym's blue "bath" yoga mats to shame!!!

Thick Yoga Mat Non-Slip by Yogi Master - 1/4" Extra Thick Memory Foam for Comfort and Stability - 72" Extra Long - Eco Friendly -

I have been attempting to get in the fitness mode forever now, cause I need to take on a healthy lifestyle, and I thought "hey, you should attempt yoga!"  Well, I saw this mat available, so, I ordered it.  I loved the box it arrived in (had to turn it vertical to get it inside my front door!)  My husband wondered why it came with a "shoestring" when he saw the mat.  I had to demonstrate that you loop each end of the mat and it turns into a quick and convenient handle to tote around. 

When I rolled it out, I didn't realize how much space it covers!  I like the thickness of the mat and the sturdiness of the non-stick padding when on thin carpeting (such as Berber), and shag carpeting.  I took it to the gym into the workout room (Berber), and the mat didn't slip at all.  When you sit/lay/pose on it, the mat is very forgiving and is somewhat "spongy".  This puts the mats at the gym that are available to shame - they are thin, little blue mats that look about as big as a bathmat!  If you want extra coverage, reliability, comfort, and economical, try this mat out!

Plantar Fasciitis Socks

E-Starlet Plantar Fasciitis Socks

I wanted this because over the last couple of years, I have developed plantar fasciitis in my left foot.  I have tried massaging, soaking, rolling a frozen water bottle or glass bottle underneath, and even tried using inserts for my shoes.  Everything was slow working and only lasted for a short period of time.  I know none of them was a “cure” for it, but I would have loved to have thought that it would have treated it and made it feel better longer than 5 minutes.

I received these socks, and couldn’t really figure out what the rubber/plastic piece that goes over the sock was for.  I looked at the pics online and realized how it went, so I did as it suggested.  Unless you plan on putting a sock over it or just wearing it and not walk, the molded piece sometimes will fold on itself and get somewhat stained when you walk on it.  Other than this issue, it does seem to help on a temporary basis. 

I don’t like to keep it on for an extended period of time, so I will take off the piece and leave the compression sock on.  I need to go see my doctor to fully look at my issue, but for temporary relief, this sock does the trick.
