Travel Product Guide

Giveaway of the Week: Bender Ball

by Kori Ellis on August 27th, 2008

When you are on the road and wanting to exercise, it’s oftentimes inconvenient or impossible to find a hotel gym. Now you can get a terrific workout right in your hotel room with the portable, inflatable Bender Ball.

Bender BallThe product was developed by fitness expert Leslee Bender, founder of “The Pilates Coach.” With over 24 years in the fitness industry, Leslee knows her stuff.

The Bender Ball is a “mini stability ball” that allows you to exercise your core in ways that can’t be accomplished by simple crunches. Combined with her effective method of Selective Stabilization, the Bender Method targets the upper abs, the sides and those hard-to-reach lower abs. Find out more about how it works at BenderBall.com. We are giving away a Bender Ball to one lucky reader of the Travel Product Guide.

All you need to do is leave a comment here in this post about your favorite place to travel, or your favorite workout method.

On Friday, September 5th at 6:00pm CT, a random winner will be selected to receive the inflatable, portable Bender Ball. Remember … only enter once and leave your real email address in the space provided so that we can contact you.

Check back often to the Travel Product Guide because we will be running a giveaway almost every week!

    I live next to the High School and find it really easy to just go over to the track and get in a few laps. It is easy to get there and do even a few minutes or sometimes once I’m there do lots of laps.

    It would be fun to try something new with this ball.

    My very favorite travel destination is Ærøskøbing (eroo skubing) on the Danish island of Ærø (eroo). It’s as if H.C. Andersen had placed me in one of his fairy tales.

    Have rented a cottage for the summer there, and it was magical.

    Cool! I’ve always wanted a bender ball, but my husband has put a moratorium on buying anymore exercise equipment (if you peek in my closet, you’ll why). My favorite exercise is the mini-trampoline. It’s fun and quick workout. It works the lymphatetic system-total body workout! I can fold it and pack it with me when I travel.

  • Hayley

  • Anne

    My favourite place to travel, is Parksville, on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada. The beach is absolutely brilliant and shallow, meaning that the kids et al, can walk out for miles with the water just coming to their knees. When the tide is out, you can dig for clams, marvel at the millions of sanddollars, turn over rocks and watch the crabs scatter! Its such a beautiful place.

    My favorite travel destination? I’d have to say Mendocino (on the Californian coast). Lots of places to stay, but they’re mostly little Victorian B&Bs. I don’t think there’s a single hotel-with-a-gym in the vicinity, which means something like this Bender ball would come in quite handy!

    Favorite workout: walking, or chasing children (4 of them). Favorite place to travel: Bat Cave, North Carolina. My mom lives there. It’s just outside of Asheville, so beautiful, and my mom lives on the side of a mountian with a waterfall in her “backyard”.

    I absolutely love Aruba because of the perfect beaches there. It is such a nice place to just go to veg on the soft white sands and soak in the sun. The bender ball would help me get a tone stomach so when I visit Aruba again I will have my bikini body!

    DVD-driven workouts with free weights seem to work best — although the carry-on bag can get pretty tiring fairly quickly. At home, an exercise ball keeps things interesting by involving a certain amount of maintaining balance too…

    This ball will not only provide the opportunity to exercise (and potentially lead to a better body, health and personality) but it can be very veritile and used as a pillow while watching exercise tapes, and a new “buddy” while away on a business trip without my husband!
