X2 vest Weight Vest

The X2Vest is the best selling weight vest at Allegro Medical. This item was featured on the Today Show on NBC a few years back. I have one myself and as a Kung Fu student, I love it. It really gives me a great workout and I can actually feel my joints gaining strength and flexibility. At first it was a bit tough and I was afraid of damaging my knees, but if you start out right and build up, this weight vest can help you lose weight, gain muscle, increase cardio endurance, and most importantly, increase confidence. I use mine for Kung Fu, but I know many other people use them in conjunction with weight lifting, running, jogging, playing basketball, and even just walking. Just wearing the weight vest is a workout. The important thing is put the right amount in to save your joints while you get a boost in your current workout regime, or just your after dinner walk.



A similar product was recently featured on the Oprah website. Someone had been on the show and used a weight vest to shed off unwanted pounds. It really is that easy, just wearing the weighted walking vest can increase your health exponentially.

Toilevator Toilet Riser

Many elders and those with hip replacement kits have troubles with their toilet seats sitting too low. Sure there are plenty of grab bars and toilet safety frames out there, but the bottom line is the patient still needs to sit all the way down and pull himself/herself all the way back up. Good thing there is the Toilevator Toilet Seat Riser.

The Toilevator Toilet Riser was designed to provide a dignified, stable, cost effective and easy to install alternative to unsightly, hard to clean, elevated toilet seats. Unlike raised toilet seats which attach to the top of the toilet, the Toilevator installs at the base of the toilet increasing the stability of the commode. The Toilevator raises toilet seats a full 3-and-a-half inches to increase the quality of life and security in the bathroom. These have been used for many years and you can expect many more from a trusted brand in Toilet Elevators.
