No one will argue with the statement that exercise is the key to a healthy body. But, unless your Michael Phelps, your average day is filled with tasks geared towards keeping other things healthy. Things like your bank account or family relationships. Exercise is the last thing most of us make time for. This week's featured products make it easier for you to fit exercise into your daily routine. They are simple and can be used just about anywhere.
Many of you have written in saying, "Every morning I wake up and fall flat on my face." To that I say, "Quit waxing your bedroom floors." However, for some of you that just isn't enough. A sturdy sense of balance is the sign of a healthy body. It reflects a strong core and good muscle tone. As well as a healthy inner ear. A balance ball is a simple tool that you can use at home while watching tv. DMESuplyGroup.com carries a variety of these aparatus such as the Cando Stability Trainer. All you do is stand on it. That's it, just stand there. Of course it's the not falling off part that serves as the workout. As you teach your body to balance itself on the ball you will be strengthening muscle groups that normally get missed while watching TV. If you're looking for an inexpensive way to workout at home this may be just the thing you are looking for. Not enough? Need something even easier? Is your day so full that you'd have to push back that lunch date to stand on something for 10 minutes? Well, at least work out your hands man! Introducing Theraputty. Based on the latest in silly putty technology, the kneeding action of Theraputty lets you work out the muscles in your hands virtualy anywhere. Ready for the big bonus. It's microwavable! Warm Theraputty in the microwave to sooth away the aches of arthretic hands. You can get Theraputty from DMESupplyGroup.com in a variety of colors and sizes from 2 ounces up to 5 pounds.

Have you ever heard those news stories about how the latest Hollywood heart throb is rumored to never bathe? It seems every time a quorum of the female population take to fancying one particular man it drives him to defend himself from the screaming mobs in any way he can. That 'way' appears to be the development of revolting personal hygiene. Or perhaps, it's just the fact that the act of bathing is just too plain dangerous. After an entire day of running from the paparazzi who would want to continue to endanger him / her self by stepping into a wet slippery bathtub?
Well, maybe it wouldn't be such an issue if they had some the fantastic bath safety products available from DMEsupplygroup.com.

When not in use it folds neatly against the wall.

It installs on any bath wall with two suction cups.

As you may have noticed, the DME blog has been quiet lately. But today we bring good news. The engines of medical supply e-commerce have begun to roar back to life. As such we plan on bringing you regular updates on some of the hottest products that can be found on DMEsupplygroup.com.
In my experience there are two types of people, active people and inactive people, doers and watchers, participants and spectators, people who play tennis and people who put tennis balls on the legs of their walkers. Today's featured products are for the people in the first group. These items provide the support you need while allowing you the utility needed to maintain your active life. The Rollator 3-Wheeler is height adjustable. It is light weight (only 9 lbs) and collapses for easy transportation. Notice I didn't say "easy storage." That's because you don't store this hotrod. The Rollator is so easy to carry you will easily bring it with you everywhere you go. It comes with a pouch for your belongings so no need to carry extra bags. It's made from sturdy steal and the anatomical handles feature a loop breaking system. You may ask, "Why do I need breaks on a walker? Can't I just stop walking?" Well, here's the little secret. The breaks are not actually for you. They are for your family members to reach over and grab to slow you down so they can keep up with you. The Rollator is available from DMEsupplygroup.com for only $117.38. You know there is something I have noticed about riding in a wheelchair, and that is it's next to impossible to wear a backpack. You can do it, but it's difficult to get it on and off, it makes your ride somewhat uncomfortable and you almost always end up smashing your Poptarts into a gooey mess of crumbs. The solution? The Complete Medical Wheelchair Backpack. Hanging from the handle of your chair the Wheelchair Backpack has ample room to carry everything you need. From your wallet and sunglasses to beach towels and tennis rackets. The bag is roomy, but still narrow enough to fit between the wheels of the chair so as not to rub. Everyone has had that experience. You know the one. You're out with the family. You realize you need something so you ask the young energetic person pushing your chair, "Could you please hand me my camera so I can take a picture of this mountain waterfall?" They respond, "Well, where did you it put?" assuming that though you have been sitting in the same place the entire time you somehow managed to hide your camera in a place that you could not reach it yourself. With this handy chair attachment you will now be able to respond with, "It's in my backpack. You know, the one hanging on the back of my chair right in front of you." It pays for itself.
