You Walk Wrong

April 27th, 2008

Walking is easy. It’s so easy that no one ever has to teach you how to do it. It’s so easy, in fact, that we often pair it with other easy activities—talking, chewing gum—and suggest that if you can’t do both simultaneously, you’re some sort of insensate clod. So you probably think you’ve got this walking thing pretty much nailed. As you stroll around the city, worrying about the economy, or the environment, or your next month’s rent, you might assume that the one thing you don’t need to worry about is the way in which you’re strolling around the city.”

iPhone to Support GPS, Stereo Bluetooth, Nike+, Battle Hackers

April 12th, 2008

Yay!!! The Nike+ would be a great accessory with my iPhone!!!

“As the Second Coming of the JesusPhone looms over the horizon, the rumor pace starts to accelerate, with people digging in the dirt to try to get any clues about what’s awaiting in this incarnation of Apple’s cellphone. StuffTV is now reporting that—just like Jason wanted—Nike+ will definitely come to the iPhone in a big way, while code detectives have found strings that hint at support of Bluetooth stereo headphones, GPS support, and other iPhone seeeeeecrets:”

Nike+ gear coming to iPhone, iPod touch

April 12th, 2008

“The Nike+ fitness technology will indeed become available for the iPhone and the iPod touch, a Nike spokesperson has confirmed. Speculation began that it might when patent filings surfaced last month, pointing to an integrated fitness system similar to the existing Nike+iPod kit for Nanos. Although there is no sign of the extra sensors mentioned in the patent, or its extra activities such as weight-lifting, the new Nike+ system should at least replicate the running support of Nike+iPod, and its corresponding website tracking and competition.”

Snorkeling

January 13th, 2008

Snorkeling is a great activity that is both economical and fun.  It is great snorkeling with friends too.

“Snorkeling is a wonderful activity that can be enjoyed by almost anyone who has access to the ocean, a lake, river, pond or quarry.  Snorkeling as an activity frequently lives in the shadows of scuba diving - another excellent pastime, but one that requires significantly more instruction, time and money. Most people who have snorkeled have done so only on group charters while on vacation, but snorkeling is an activity that can be done almost anytime, anywhere.”

How To How to Get Started Indoor Rock Climbing/ Gym climbing

Indoor Rock Climbing

January 1st, 2008

I went indoor rock climbing the other day (with jwrigley and nic), wow, what a workout! I hadn’t been climbing for a while, so I really did miss how intense the workout was.

It was great to see parents taking their kids there. Climbing teaches them confidence, inner strength and great for self esteem.
I climbed at http://www.hardrock.com.au/ in the CBD.  Really well designed place.

What I like about rock climbing is that it engages all muscles and helps you work them out using full range of motion.  It is very challenging.

Hardrock CBD Venue

http://www.hardrock.com.au/

So you want to try Rock Climbing? What to expect and require:
You will be inducted before your first attempt… this is a really important step.  The instructor will go through the belaying process and safety procedures.  Many places have inductors onsite, so you don’t have to book, but I would call ahead just to be sure.

You will need a climbing partner.  It is good to have one person that you can completely rely on to be your climbing partner.

Where to aquire all the equipment required:
I strongly recommend not to buy the harness, carabeena, chalk bag, etc until  you have tried climbing at least twice and have really enjoyed it.  These are not cheap items but if you plan to go climbing often, it is better that you purchase.

I keep a “climbing bag”, which has all my equipment ready to go for climbing… makes life really simple and you never have to worry about forgetting anything… just add water (a bottle of water, that is :)).  I also have a swimming bag, snorkeling bag, and gym bag - easy to get ready, don’t have to worry about a checklist.
Can climbing be done instead of training at the gym?
It is funny but  the climbing centres are usually referred to as gyms :)  Climbing is the equivalent of an awesome  resistance workout, with a little cardio.  So you will still need a bit of extra cardio in your training regime and if you add stretching at the end of a climb you are completely covered!

Happy climbing :)

Pedicure Caution

Pampering pedicures are wonderful and relaxing, but be sure your beautician has good cleaning procedures.  Always ask what cleaning procedures are used for foot spas and if in doubt, go elsewhere or do the pedicure yourself.

Shadow Boxing over a Distance

December 10th, 2007

Remote Impact is a “Sports over a Distance” game that provides a full body contact experience between geographically distant players. The game encourages extreme physical exertion and, unlike the Nintendo Wii and other console games, it recognizes and registers intense brute force. The physical intensity of the game contributes to general fitness, weight loss, and stress relief at the same time it allows you socialize and create new friendships over a distance in an entertaining sportive way.”

Lemon Detox Diet

December 1st, 2007

Why Lemon Detox?
Many of us take our health for granted. It is not until we have taken the opportunity to cleanse our bodies that we truly realise that we can always improve our health and reduce the risks of disease and accumulation of toxicity in our bodies. Toxicity is the underlying root of many diseases and illnesses.

The Lemon Detox Diet is an all natural cleansing program designed to help with eliminating built up toxins in the body, and purifying the body. Every once in a while, every machine needs an overhaul, every system needs a cleaning, every worker needs a break. Our bodies are no different. The Lemon Detox Diet invigorates the body’s own ability to cleanse itself of accumulated toxins and helps normalise weight while we take a break from solid foods. The very purpose of food is to strengthen the body and maintain health, yet many of us have turned eating into a deadly act of weakening our bodies and destroying our health.”

I have scheduled to do a podcast on this topic soon.  It will not be an interview, I will be researching this and commenting on the basis of my professional opinion.

A Low Fat Alternative for Pies and Pastries

November 4th, 2007

“hese tissue-paper-thin pastry sheets make a great low fat alternative to regular pastry. Phyllo, or filo, dough has no saturated fat or trans fat, and no cholesterol. Phyllo dough is light, crisp and flaky, and so long as you use butter-flavored cooking spray between layers rather than real melted butter, it’s a perfect low fat choice for making savory or sweet pies, tarts and strudels.”
