Did you know December and January are when gyms sell the most gym memberships? The most popular New Year resolutions are weight loss and to get in shape, and many of us (I know I have tried this) assume that buying the gym membership will be enough motivation. Sometimes it even works, but rarely for very long. Instead, here are some easy ways to get motivated to lose weight (and then stay motivated once you’ve started!): Be nice to yourself. One of the hardest parts is admitting and then deciding to lose weight so congratulate yourself for doing that! The negative records that play in ...

With the holiday season gearing up into full swing, most of us are more concerned about how big of a turkey (and then tree) to get than we are about our flexible spending account through work. Financial experts will tell you that is a big mistake – if you have a medical flexible spending account (FSA) through your employer and you don’t use that money by the end of the year then you’ll lose it. That’s right – use it or lose it. This is also the time of year for open enrollment for employee benefits, so if you haven’t been taking advantage of your ability to save through a FSA...

No doubt as we age and we may find it harder and harder to move around in our daily lives. Many have found the same problems from disorders and disease causing this same problem. We find it hard to get out of bed, walk around the house, get in and out of cars, and go to the bathroom.

Many products have been developed to help us. We have bed rails to get us out of bed, scooters to move us around the house. Transfer boards to get in and out of the car and even chairs to lift you up out of a recliner, but we have yet found commonly used a product to get us up and down from the toilet. Why is this? We all go to the bathroom several times a day… some more than others and getting up and down from the toilet can be a nightmare for those of us with injuries, weakness in the knees, hips, ankles and arms. There are toilet seats that hold you to a higher elevation making it a bit easier to get up and down but the problem still remains for those who simply can’t lift themselves from a seated position.

Luckily, I have stumbled across a product that can help us get up and down with ease. Not only will it hold us at a higher level but it will take you down to the sitting position on the toilet and lift you back up without having to push of the seat at all. The product named “Tush Push” works similar to a “Pride Lift Chair” (recliner that raises and lowers you). From a seated position the seat gently raises and tilts the seat till the user is at a comfortable standing position. It’s generally a good idea to have a walker or another mobility aid to grab on to once it raises you to your feet.

Many have found this product to make bathroom just another routine daily occurrence instead of a painful and torturous experience. Take a look if you find this to be the case and with a little money and easy installation you can find relief in more way than one with the Tush Push.
