Good product good price.

I bought this item with little knowledge of it. I had read mixed reviews of it on here but decided to go with my gut feeling and just get it. It's a pretty good product over all installs easy to any door and is fun to use. The workout instructions are somewhat vague but the dvd certainly helps. For those of you that are always at the gym or are in incredible shape this wont help you much. For those of you that are crunched for time or have little experience at the gym this is a nice workout item that can get you into shape. I incorporate this in my martial arts regualr gym and cardio workouts and it fits nice.More detail ...

It's up to you.

What I absolutely love about the TRX is that it is completely up to you. Completely up to you to set it up use it and bring it with you when you travel. It's easy to do all of that. The results? If you push the last few reps when you are burning you will get them. Like anything else. I am a triathlete and use the TRX regularly to supplement my SBR routines and although still do weights all the stabilization work on the TRX has (knock on wood) given me injury free results. I also come from having had two back surgeries and a knee surgery. Training with body weight intelligently is phenomenal and trx's videos and community make it easy to build an intelligent program. I travel back and forth between the city and country and throw the TRX in it's little bag that it comes with. IT's that simple and i look forward to 'playing on it' working out with it... it's one of the only pieces of training equipment that i have used that is literally fun to play around with. If you are on the fence about it don't be. Go for it.More detail ...

Review of Roastaroma Cafix Pero and Postum

I recently gave up coffee and decided to try three different coffee substitutes: Roastaroma Cafix and Pero. Although Cafix tasted the most like real coffee (and it tastes *a lot* like real coffee) and all three products are pretty good Roastaroma was my favorite.



It is very similar to coffee but it doesn't quite have the bitter bite of coffee. Those of you who are looking for that slight bitterness might prefer Cafix. Roastaroma actually reminds me a little bit of Mexican hot chocolate--the cinnamon and carob flavors come through pretty strongly in the drink giving it a cinnamon-chocolatey flavor. I used to drink coffee to satisfy my sweet tooth on low calories. This drink totally fits the bill for this purpose.



The Pero is pretty good too. Like Roastaroma it doesn't have the bitter coffee taste but it still makes for a decent imitation of decaf. I like to drink it with cinnamon-flavored powdered creamer. Pero's a good value too: it's strong enough that you don't need to use very much to flavor your whole drink. I drink the Pero when I'm trying to ration the Roastaroma out to myself so as not to run out.



So Roastaroma has the best flavor Cafix tastes the most like coffee and Pero is a good back-up.



A quick note on Postum: I do not care for it. I find that people who like Postum tend to be people who were never coffee drinkers. It tastes nothing like coffee. If you try Postum as a coffee substitute you will be disappointed.
