empower :: cardio dance hoop :: giveaway

Posted on December 27, 2016March 29, 2017 by Ginny

disclaimer giveawayI have been eating like an absolute moron for weeks now. I fall down a deep dark hole of sugar and carbs every year about this time. Now I need to start crawling my way out of that happy but unhealthy place. While you can’t outrun a bad diet, I’m all about adding some extra cardio to offset some of my bad eating decisions. When I say extra cardio, I don’t mean the Fitbit steps I accrue while walking around my kitchen making baked goods. I mean the kind of cardio that gets your blood that is thick as maple syrup from all the sugar moving through your body.

I introduce to you today, the Cardio Dance Hoop!

Check out how fun the cardio dance hoop can be. I’m still at the beginner level so I won’t wow you with my talents just yet. This lady is working it!

blanket fortWhen you are not using your cardio hoop, simply slide behind the couch. It also comes apart easily and breaks down into 8 little pieces that can be stored in the box that it comes in. My children like to use the cardio hoop as blanket fort support too. Who knew having a cardio hoop could be so useful?

Next time you find yourself in Target, check the fitness aisle for the Empower line of fitness gear. Empower Fitness has items at target.com as well!

It is officially time for me to walk away from the Christmas goodies and give my new workout pants I got for Christmas a bit of cardio action. Currently I’m wearing yoga pants because my pants with button closures and zippers feel pretty much horrific right now. Who is with me? Wanna give Cardio Dance Hoop a try in the new year?

    No I’ve never heard of Empower before this post. The holiday food I can’t resist are all the cookies. Seems like everyone bakes during the holidays and I must try them all! I think the RE’s Better Back and Core looks cool as well.

    Deviled Eggs, Cookies (sugar/peanut butter blossoms) and I make wayyy to many cheesy sausage balls (that I always end up eating wayyy too many too!) but they are so good! I would love to have the CALORIE-BLASTING SKIPFIT too!

    1. Ginny says:
      January 11, 2017 at 12:03 am

      WHAT are cheesy sausage balls?!?!?! They sound yum!

      1. Leah Shumack says:
        January 11, 2017 at 12:54 am

        Jimmy Dean Sausage Roll, 3/4 Cup Flour, 2 cups of cheese, chopped onion and celery, pepper to taste. Mix it all together and form into balls. Bake at 375 for about 18 minutes. Let cool and enjoy! They are so good!

    I have never heard of empower. They have some fun stuff. calorie busting skipfit looks fun. I enjoyed way too much cream cheese with raspberry chipolte jelly and wheat thins.

    1. Ginny says:
      January 11, 2017 at 12:04 am

      Hello fellow Virginia. 🙂 cream cheese with anything is just too hard to resist.

  21. Jennifer Bay says:

    Pumpkin Pie is my holiday taboo, can’t get enough of it!!! I have never heard of them, but the CALORIE-BLASTING SKIPFIT sounds cool!

  22. Rivka says:

    I hadnt heard of this, I could not leave the bean dip alone. I like the weighted fitness vest on their site.

  24. renee says:
    January 9, 2017 at 12:03 pm

    I had never heard of Empower before this post. Anything with chocolate is what I couldn’t leave alone! I think the boxing boot camp product would be an awesome set to have.

  25. Dena Stewart says:
    January 9, 2017 at 11:22 am

    I’ve never heard of it either, but seems like more interesting ways to work out. I probably should have stayed out of the cookies. The bad part is I made more last night-they were good. haha

    1. Ginny says:
      January 11, 2017 at 12:05 am

      “WERE good” hahaha. Gone? 🙂

  26. JILL Rivera says:
    January 9, 2017 at 9:12 am

    I have never heard of Empower until I read you review on the website. I can’t live without chocolate at the holidays. 3 IN 1 KETTLEBELL is the product I would like to try because so much easier on my joints than dumbbells.

  27. angela smith says:

    I have not heard about them before reading about it today . Over the holidays that stuffing kept calling my name and i kept eating it

  28. Cassie Moreno says:
    January 8, 2017 at 6:17 pm

    I’ve always wanted to try kick-boxing so the Boxing Bootcamp looked like something I would purchase! I have a hard time staying away from cheese platters around the holidays.

    No, I had not heard of the Empower hoop until this giveaway. The food I couldn’t stay away from was candy cane chocolates. And the item I’m most intrigued by on the website is the medicine ball.

    I have heard of Empower! I have their adjustable kettlebell. I love it! I think I’ve been pretty good as far as food. I just haven’t had a lot of time to workout. And I want to try the Cardio Dance Hoop.

    January 2, 2017 at 9:04 pm

    Hadnt heard of Empower until today! I’ve been searching for some tools to help get rid of the holiday weight ( so many cookies….way too many). I love so many things on Empower! I’m watching a few of the core videos. Excited to start getting inshape!

  45. Virginia Rowell says:
    January 1, 2017 at 1:42 pm

    I have not hear of Empower. I could not get away from all the cookies. I love the CALORIE-BLASTING SKIPFIT. It reminds me of the lemon twist I had as a kid and actually still have it!

  46. Will G says:
    December 31, 2016 at 4:35 pm

    I haven’t. I ate a lot of cookies… definitely need to work them off!

  47. Rachel says:
    December 31, 2016 at 3:34 pm

    I haven’t heard of Empower before today. The holiday food I couldn’t leave alone was spinach artichoke dip. Another product I thought looked cool was calorie blasting skipfit.

  48. Annamarie V says:
    December 29, 2016 at 11:57 pm

    I have not heard of Empower before, my niece has been using a dance hoop and she loves it. The one food I couldn’t stay away from was my Sisters rum cake. The cardio dance hoop is the item on their website that looks best to me.

  49. Janice Crespo says:
    December 29, 2016 at 6:22 pm

    I’ve seen the Cardio Dance Hoop before but didn’t realize they had so much variety. I like the RE BETTER BACK AND CORE. This could feel really good on my back and could help me out!

  50. gala says:

    I’ve never heard of Empower before today? RE’s Travel Massage Ball looks cool and would be very useful for me

    1. Ginny says:
      December 29, 2016 at 11:49 pm

      That’s funny! I thought the same thing! I had a skip it when I was a kid and I loved it.

  54. Samantha C. says:
    December 28, 2016 at 11:47 am

  56. Maryann D. says:
    December 27, 2016 at 7:50 pm

    I have not heard of Empower before, but I would like the CALORIE-BLASTING SKIPFIT and this Cardio Dance Hoop for exercise. I could not resist eating a lot of wonderful chocolates that I got for gifts this Christmas.

  57. Jenny Scheldberg says:
    December 27, 2016 at 6:05 pm

    The holiday baked goods. All the delicious sugary items I should have walked away from. Time to get real.

    1. Ginny says:
      December 29, 2016 at 11:50 pm

      I am in the same place. I’m paying for it and it’s time to walk away. 🙂

  58. Laura says:
    December 27, 2016 at 5:23 pm

    No, I haven’t heard of Empower before today. The holiday food that I couldn’t leave alone this Christmas was Apple Pie. I think the CALORIE-BLASTING SKIPFIT also looks cool on the Empower website.

  59. KENNETH OHL says:
    December 27, 2016 at 4:38 pm

    I have a hard time passing up Christmas cookies. What I like on empower is : 10LB FINGERTIP GRIP MEDICINE BALL WITH DVD

  62. elizabeth miller says:
    December 27, 2016 at 1:59 pm

    I had never heard of Empower until you wrote about it. Over the holidays, there were these cookies that someone we know made that I could not walk in the kitchen and not eat. I think the DELUXE TOTAL BODY TONING SYSTEM, INT/ADV looks like a really great product to have.

  63. KV says:
    December 27, 2016 at 1:18 pm

    I enjoyed turkey this holiday. I like the fusion fit disc.
