Hi guys, we have just added a great new brand called CamelBak. They offer a huge range of Hydration waist packs and BPA ( bisphenol A) free water bottles which are great for running and walking.

What is so special about BPA free water bottles?

BPA (Bisphenol A) is a chemical that can be found in the lining of bottles, both plastic and metal. BPA is the focus of an ongoing health debate as when mixed with water the chemical can enter your body.

Camelback knowing this have decided to steer clear of BPA which is a costly decision as it’s much more expensive to manufacture BPA free products. CamelBak were the first to market BPA free plastic bottles last year. So whilst health organisations continue to debate and come up with a conclusion you know you will be safe drinking from Camelback bottles.

Simply Sweat are happy to pronounce the top sellers for the summer months. Here they are:

1000 Mile – The Original Sock

The Original 1000 Mile Sock is a sock within a sock. The inner stays with the foot, the outer layer moves with the shoe. The lack of friction between the layers helps prevent blisters and reduces wear. Outstanding comfort and no blisters guaranteed! Suitable for running, racket sports, cross-training and gym work, as well as a superb everyday sock.

Pure Lime – High Impact Sports Bra – White

High Impact Sports Bra from Pure Lime. White sports bra with adjustable racerback shoulder straps and front fastening. Designed for high impact exercise. Gives excellent support thereby enhancing your performance and comfort, but still keeps you looking and feeling feminine.

Casall – 60cm Gym Ball

Got the Tennis Fever?

If you are like me and have been watching Wimbledon every day then you have probably caught the tennis fever!

X-Socks Low Cut Tennis Socks	Pure Lime Sweat Towel

Why Wear Gym Socks?

2009-06-17T02:31:00.001-07:00

We sell a range of sportswear socks and each pair is different for the activity you want to use them for. For example, if you want a pair of socks for running then you should get some which are specific for that activity so that they protect you in all the right areas and provide breathability where it’s needed. In comparison to, for example, a Tennis sock which will protect your feet in different areas which are used more in Tennis.

I personally love X-Socks and I use the Speed One Socks for running in, they provide great comfort where its needed and keep my feet cool, even on a hot day!

A great sock to wear for Tennis is the 1000 Mile Ultimate Racket Sock which has a Tactel inner that stays with the foot reducing friction and wicks moisture away.

To understand the great features used in our range of sports socks you should try them for yourself, once you have a pair you won’t go back to normal socks!

The Race For Life

2009-06-04T08:09:00.001-07:00

If you’re taking part in the Race For Life for Cancer Research this year then you have probably started your training by now. If you’re like me and this is the 1st year you’re doing it and you’re not really an experienced runner then you’re probably finding it quite difficult, i know I am, the worst thing is getting myself motivated! But when I think of the great cause I’m raising money for it helps me get up and put my trainers on! When I first started, I kitted myself out with a few new running bits from Simply Sweat, this really helped make me get enthused about running, and let’s face if, even if I don’t run the best, I know I look the part in my new gear!

These are the bits I bought, and I must say they have been great!

Pure Lime – High Impact Sports Bra

Ronhill – Classic Plus Pant

Casall – Wrap Top

X-Socks – Speed One Socks

New To Simply Sweat – Compeed

2009-03-12T09:54:00.001-07:00

Compeed is a new range of medical products being offered by Simply Sweat

Compeed products relieve and protect from pain whilst assisting the natural injury healing process.
Covering a wound with a protective bandage until it heals helps speed healing and helps minimize the chance of scarring because it helps prevent scabbing.
Contrary to popular belief, keeping a wound uncovered and allowing it to "breathe" and form a scab actually slows the healing process and when it falls off leaves a visible mark.

Pop into Simply Sweat today to see the Compeed range.

1000 Mile Socks

2009-03-09T03:06:00.001-07:00

1000 Mile are the makers of the great range of 1000 mile socks. This amazing series of socks are essentially a sock within another sock. This allows the outer layer to move whilst keeping the inner layer static around your foot which eliminates friction on the skin reducing the likelihood of blisters.

What Is Fit?

2008-11-10T09:24:00.001-08:00

What is fit? Being physically fit can be defined in many different ways, however most exercise physiologists would define it as "the condition in which a person performs well."

We would say that being fit is not just about being strong but also being in good shape all round. Any athlete, no matter which sport has to be fit to perform well.

Do you want to try boxing? Its not an aerobic sport as such but it does require overall fitness for sudden bursts of activity as well as strength. If you aren't fit (if you are the strongest person out there) you will begin to tire quickly as you have no endurance.

So, 'What is fit?' it is a combination of things, having both strength (for certain activities) and having endurance which is gained through doing aerobic exercises.

A good combination of exercises would be both strength training and cardiovascular training, which will give you a nice combination of strength and endurance.

Being fit can enhance your whole well-being in mind and body and is often thought of as a form of relaxing the body from the stresses of everyday life.
