About Gaiam

Gaiam was created as a lifestyle company with the vision that, given a choice, people would choose a lifestyle that is healthy and life enhancing, for themselves, their families and the Earth. The Gaiam lifestyle is a vote for individual health as well as the future sustainability of the Earth’s resources. Gaiam strives to provide customers with alternatives to traditional products by offering natural or healthy versions that compare with the style, quality and price of conventional products.

Gaiam’s goal is to become the trusted source and unifying brand for Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS) participants. They understand that the opportunity to affect people’s lives with information and products is both a privilege and a responsibility. Gaiam believes in the concept of Conscious Commerce, the practice of making purchasing decisions based on personal values and beliefs. It takes into consideration all the aspects of our lives and the impact we have upon the planet. Research indicates this concept appeals to approximately 50 million people in the U.S. alone. Gaiam's strategy in delivering the distinctive quality for which they are known is to partner with experts in health/wellness, eco-living and personal development to develop proprietary products that meet our customers’ needs with meaningful solutions.

The name GAIAM is a fusion of the words Gaia (the name of Mother Earth from the Minoan civilization in ancient Crete), and I am reminds us that we are all interconnected with the Earth, the air and water, and very much a part of this living system that sustains us all.

This review is from: Gaiam Covered Resistance Cord Kit (Light) (Sports)

I am not an athletic or coordinated person, but realize that daily exercise is good for me. I've been doing cardio workouts for a few years now thanks to finding Leslie Sansone DVDs. However, as much as I know I need to also incorporate weights/resistance training, I've struggled to find something I like enough to do regularly, despite trying many different DVDs and various equipment. This kit has solved that problem for me. The covered resistance cord with padded handles is very comfortable to use. The included DVD contains three 20 minute workouts (front body, back body and core body), with an option to combine all three for one longer workout. The directions are simple enough to follow and the exercises are challenging, although not so hard to do that I give up; some of them I've not seen before. The instructor is friendly and encouraging without being annoying; two background exercisers help to demonstrate modifications. The production values are very good and the outdoor backdrop is beautiful. I find the 20 minute segments to be the perfect length to tack onto a 30 or 45 minute cardio workout a few times a week. I'm very pleased with both the resistance cord and the DVD.

I enjoy this exercise video and resistance cord. I don't have great upper-body strength, so I get a workout and it's a nice change from my cardio vidoes.
