Aerobic Water Exercises

Water is indeed the universal solvent because it can even wash away stress. Its presence alone is therapeutic. The mere sight and the feel of the movement of water are calming. The sounds of the ripples and waves are relaxing. It's no wonder aerobic water exercises are highly effective and recommended as an exercise regimen.

Water exercises are highly aerobic and good for the cardiovascular system. The routines help lower the risk of hypertension. These workouts have low-impact but are highly effective in combating stress. It is extremely relaxing. Try these aerobic water exercises:

1. Side lateral raise - The participant should put his arms on the side with palms facing inward and the back of the hands facing outwards. The water will serve as a form of resistance for this exercise. Lift or raise the arms towards the side until the arms are aligned to the shoulders. Lower the arms back to the side of the body. For more resistance, hold the arms longer when it is aligned to the shoulders for about a minute and gradually release this hold and move the arms back the sides.

2. Forward flies - The participant should have his arms extended towards the side keeping it aligned with the shoulders. The back of the hands should face the sky. Rotate the upper arm to make the palm face forward and create resistance with the water. Move the arms towards the center until arms are parallel to each other with palms facing each other. Rotate the upper arms to make the palm face outwards and move the arms towards the side to realign with the shoulders again.

3. Leg lifts - The participant should stand with his feet close together. The arms should be holding the waist with the elbows bent on the sides forming a 90-degree angle. Lift one of the legs to the side up to a comfortable level. Hold the position until some muscle burn is felt. Gradually lower the leg back to the starting position. Next, lift the other leg to the side up to a comfortable level and hold until some muscle burn is felt eventually lowering the leg back.

4. Forward leg lifts - The participant should still keep his feet close together. Also, keep the arms holding the sides of the waist making the elbows form a 90-degree angle. Always keep the back or the spine straight. Raise the upper leg so that it is parallel to the ground and the knees bent forming a right angle. Hold this position and gradually raise the lower leg so that it is also parallel to the ground. Now that the leg is extended, perform the upper leg raise for the other leg.

These exercises are not very different or far from the workouts done on land. However, most water routines use water itself as resistance making it less prone to injuries. Enjoy your stress-free day in the water!

The kiss of an angel! Jemi Story! Ep 5

hello :D I'm soo sorry this series has been taking so long! I'll be posting a lot more of them now! :D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had gone there to visit my mum when I saw him. He was kneeling in front of one of the gravestones. Maybe he had someone close to him who died as well, was that why it was so easy for me to talk to him? Did he know what it was like after all? I knew he probably wanted to be left alone so I went over to my mother's grave and laid a flower against it. I sat there feeling the familiar warmth spread through me, a single tear falling down my face. I sat there for as long as possible until I couldn't take it anymore. I got up and slowly made my way towards the boy. I crept up behind him and looked over at the writing on the grave. Joseph Jonas Loving son and brother 1867-1884 I looked over at him to see a tear rolling down his face. I wonder who it was? They must have been really close. I took another step forward and he jumped up and spun around. I smiled at him, trying to show him that I knew how it felt to be left alone. I didn't understand the expression on his face. I didn't know why, but he looked…. scared? He shuffled his feet slightly to the side so he was standing in front of the writing on the stone, why didn't he want me to see it? I stared at him confused. We stood there in awkward silence until he spoke, His musical voice full of despair. 'What are you doing here?' I was stuck, what was I supposed to say? My mouth opened as though about to ...

Jam As United: Diggin' On James Brown

Heuer feierten wir unseren traditionellen Fasching mal wieder mit Jam as United - das sind vier grandiose Black Voices, die unter die Haut gehen, eine funkige Rhythm-Section, Percussion, Bläser und ein abendfüllendes, niemals langatmiges Programm. Musik zum Tanzen, Grooven, Mitsingen und sich Wohlfühlen. Die Band, deren Mitglieder größtenteils aus der regional bekannten Gruppe "Billis Balls" (füher Alkopress und Mama's Superjet) sowie NoBigDeal stammen, konnten nach dem Weggang von Heri Koch einen neuen Frontman gewinnen: Oliver Pötzsch. Der in München lebende Filmautor dürfte den meisten aus der Kultursendung "quer" des Bayerischen Rundfunks bekannt sein. Seine besondere Neigung gilt den Henkersdynastien Bayerns, waren doch seine Vorfahren, die Kuisls, vom 16. bis ins 19. Jahrhundert Scharfrichter in Schongau. Sie gelten als eine der berühmtesten Henkersdynastien in Bayern. Ihr Ursprung geht zurück auf den berüchtigten Scharfrichter Jörg Abriel, der im Schongauer Hexenprozess von 1589 über sechzig Frauen köpfte - und dabei gut verdiente. Seine blutige Familiengeschichte beschäftigt Oliver Pötzsch bereits seit der Kindheit. Bei seinen Recherchen stieß er auf die Folterwerkzeuge seiner Ahnen und einen Meisterbrief, der seinem Vorfahren eine 'besondere Kunstfertigkeit beim Köpfen' bescheinigt. Sein 2008 erschienener Roman "Die Henkerstochter" wurde für den Friedrich-Glauser-Preis nominiert. Jam as United heizt dem Publikum mit Soul-, Rock-, R & B- und Funkkompositionen ...

Wonder Woman Lynda Carter 13 Inch Statue

I remember clearly when I was a very young boy watching wonder woman on tv. I was at awe with her powers but most especially with her beauty, grace, and that sexy outfit. I did not know it that time but I was already experiencing my very first crush. I was always in front of the tv every time the show is on, and because of my fascination with that show I have been a very avid collector of everything Wonder Woman.

I started out collecting her stickers and pictures when I was small because that is all I can afford at that time. As I grew older I was able to buy more rare and collectible items about Wonder Woman. I started collecting a couple of comic books where Wonder Woman is featured, but what I really like is toys about the superheroine.

I first bought a replica of the lasso that she used in the television show, I remembered being so excited when I first got hold of the memorabilia. I was so careful with it that I did not even want to try to twirl it around. The next memorabilia I bought is the Wonder Woman cuffs, the one that she uses to block the bullets her enemy tries to shoot at her. It was gold and had a star in the middle. I distinctly remember letting my sister wear them and pretend that she is Wonder Woman.

But the most precious memorabilia I ever have is my Wonder Woman Lynda Carter 13 inch statue. When I first saw this statue while I was surfing the net I said to myself I have to have that. The cold cast porcelain statue was hand painted to almost true to life likeness. The creators of this statue even collaborated with Lynda Carter to make the statue as life like as possible. They also just created about 2500 pieces of these marvelous statues so it is a very limited memorabilia. But the best thing I like about this statue is that it comes with a certificate of authenticity so I was sure it was legit. No one embodies the beauty and spirit of Wonder Woman more than Lynda Carter, the actress who portrayed her on the beloved television series. She will forever be the vision forged in a generation's memory as the quintessential superheroine.

Now that I have the statue, it will be the pride and joy of my Wonder Woman collection. This will be a memorabilia that I will keep and pass on to my kids.

Cleaning Hardwood Floors - 7 Steps to a Clean Hardwood Floor

Before you begin, turn on any ceiling fans in the rooms you are cleaning, this is to help dry your floors quickly. Next dust the floors using a micro fiber mop or a Swiffer with a fresh cloth. Here's a TIP: use a piece of flannel over the Swiffer head, it works great and can be washed and reused.
Using a regular bucket, fill the bucket half full with warm water and add ¼ cup of white vinegar.

Find a good mop. I prefer the Libman Wonder Mop because it is easy to squeeze excess water out, easy to keep clean and dries quickly. The Wonder Mop head can be removed and put into the wash machine and you can buy replacements as needed.

Put the mop in the vinegar water and gently turn it. Squeeze all excess water out. Now you are ready to wipe your floors. You can also wipe the baseboards. Using the Libman Wonder Mop allows you to wipe the baseboards very easily.

Once a month steam clean your wood floors with a floor steam cleaner. Eureka makes a small hard floor steamer that comes with a microfiber pad that can be reused after a cycle in the washing machine. Just remember to follow the manufacturers instructions and never leave the steamer sitting on the wood floor.

For continued maintenance, just use a micro fiber mop to keep your floors dusted on a daily basis. Your floors should stay shiny and will be great looking in just minutes.

How Will Your Life Change When You Quit Smoking?

Have you ever wondered what will life be like after you quit smoking?

I used to wonder the same thing. My cigarettes were like a good friend. Always there to comfort me when I felt stress or pressure, or maybe when I was unsure of what to do or just needed something to help me "make it" through the day.

However that is just a lie told to me by my brain that was addicted to nicotine. The reality of it all is this. The benefits of not smoking are so many but when I was addicted to cigarettes I just did not want to know of these benefits. Ever wonder what happens 20 minutes after you quit smoking?

Smoking always results in high blood pressure which is not good for the heart and it increases the risk of a heart attack. But the minute we quit smoking, the risk is minimized and the blood pressure returns to normal. How about 10 hours after you quit smoking?

10 hours after a person quits smoking the carbon monoxide in our system drops to half of what is normal for us when we are smokers. Smoking is a major pollutant in our system that creates serious adverse effects on our cognitive skills as well as many other very bad health issues. Oxygen on the other hand is a very necessary component of life, without it we just cannot survive for very long at all.

What happens with a high level of carbon monoxide in our body is the ability of our lungs to take in oxygen is greatly reduced which in turn creates numerous serious health problems, makes it harder for our body to absorb the oxygen that we so desperately need for our very survival.

Our energy levels increase substantially when we decrease the amount of carbon monoxide in our bodies. We have then given our bodies the ability to absorb oxygen much more efficiently.

In just 24 short hours after you have quit smoking an amazing thing begins to happen. Most people that are used to smoking a pack or more per day will notice a substantial increase in energy. The normal tiredness that they are used to experiencing after a short physical exertion will change to quick energy and recovery now that they have quit smoking.

In only 48 hours people being to experience a whole new life as the nicotine is being flushed from their body. Sometimes this may result in some difficult feelings as the toxins are coming out of solution in our tissues. Things such as headaches, stomach aches and overall ill feelings, they do not last long however and when you get on the other side of this period of time the challenges are so worth it.

After only two weeks and up to six months the poor circulation is replaced with good circulation and most people will notice an improvement in their skin and issues with being cold in the hands and feet which is normally associated with poor circulation.

After a whole year of not smoking a person has significantly reduced their risk of heart attack. European Union figures reveal that 650,000 Europeans die each year from tobacco related diseases.

Around 5.4 millions deaths a year are caused by tobacco. Smoking is set to kill 6.5 million people in 2015 and 8.3 million people in 2030, with the biggest rise in low and middle income countries. Every 6.5 seconds a current or former smoker dies, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

10 years after you have quit smoking your risk of death from lung cancer has been cut in half. Most cancer death in 1999 was lung cancer directly attributed to smoking. In 15 years after a person has quit smoking, even a person that was at one time a chain smoker, can now live a normal life much as a person that has never even smoked.

A very wise man I knew once asked me this question. "If you could drive the car of your dreams right now, but it would be the only car you would ever have for the rest of your life, how would you take care of it?" Would you keep it clean, only put the best fuel and oil in it or would you treat it the way you treat the car you drive now?

Would you wash it up every week, polish it, have the inside detailed regularly? Or would you just let it go like the car you drive now? Would you let your kids eat and drink in the back seat? Or would food and drinks be off limits in your car? The only car you would ever have for the rest of your life.

Then he asked "What if you only had one body for the rest of your life...? How would you treat it?"

The Best Beaches In Costa Brava

We're now in peak booking season, and as usual one of our big sellers are our Costa Brava holiday packages. What attracts such big numbers of tourists to Spain's 'Wild Coast' every year? Sun, Sand and Sangria - along with the great range of Costa Brava's cheap hotels. With a coastline stretching all the way down from the French border to Barcelona, there's quite a few Costa Brava beaches clamouring for your attention - so which are the most worthy?

Well, a good start for narrowing the list down is to look exclusively at EU Blue Flag winning beaches in Costa Brava. The Blue Flag is only granted to beaches that meet 29 criteria for excellence, with everything from cleanliness, to water quality, to the quantity of lifeguards come under scrutiny, ensuring that the Blue Flag really is a sign of quality. To give you an idea of the quality of the region, Costa Brava has the largest concentration of Blue Flag awarded beaches in Spain - no wonder it's popular, though it does make my task of narrowing down the best that bit more difficult!

Gandia

Nobody knows a region better than the locals, and that is why you can safely say Gandia is one of the finest beaches in Costa Brava - there are hardly any tourists there. This one is purely popular with the locals, and that alone should make you consider visiting this Costa Brava holiday gem! The beach itself is enormous, with fine white sands stretching off into the distance - and if you tire of this, the restaurants and cafes nearby make a delicious change of pace.

Aigua Blava

Aigua Blava is tranquil and calm - perfect for a break away from the clubs and bustling towns. The waters are clean, relaxing and calm, and wash peacefully over the golden sands. This Costa Brava beach is the smallest listed here, which provides a charming intimate feel allowing you really to feel like you're getting away from it all on your Costa Brava holiday.

Tamariu

Slightly larger than Aigua Blava is Tamariu - the little cove is a short hike across picturesque cliff tops, and well worth the slight effort of finding on your Costa Brava holiday. The sand is fine, the water is clear and the nearby amenities are top notch, with welcoming restaurants and charming boutiques lining the promenade ensuring a break from the relaxation is never far away, for those strange enough to want it!

Llafanc

Llafranc, while larger than the previous two Costa Brava beaches listed, is still small enough to feel cosy. The port is picturesque, there's plenty of space for children to play, and the sands are perfect for relaxation and working on your tan in the brilliant sunshine. As seems compulsory for blue flag Costa Brava beaches, you can be sure to find many fine restaurants along the promenade meaning that what started out as a 'couple of hours sunbathing' can easily extend into the evening - only ended when hunger pangs draw you to one of the nearby restaurants or cocktail bars, as the daylight draws to a close.

This is just a smattering of the many fine beaches along the Costa Brava, and as long as the beach is blue flag listed, you can be sure of quality. While the best time to visit the region is May-June (before the crowds) or September-October (after the crowds), the beauty of the amount of quality beaches is that if you find one too crowded, you can always head to the next one and still be assured of a relaxing day out.

Hair Growth Ideas You Can Do In The Comfort Of Your Home

It's a depressing feeling when you are in bus stop next to a man your age with full healthy hair. You've tried everything, from using the latest wonder shampoo to having medical treatments. You just don't know what else you can do.

Home remedies are often laughed at being old wives' tale but the fact that people have been using them for centuries must mean that something must be true in there. Here are a few home remedies that you could try.

1. Rosemary concoction. Rosemary is known to have a cleansing and soothing effect on the body. It has been used since the olden times to promote hair growth. Take a few sprigs of rosemary and boil it in water for a few minutes. Let it cool down and wash your hair and scalp. Leave it for 5 to 10 minutes and wash off then dry.

2. Aloe Vera massage. Used by the Egyptians as moisturizers, women over the centuries have been using this to clean the scalp and add moisture to it. You can cut off a piece of aloe from the plant itself and squeeze it directly to your scalp. Leave for 5 to 10 minutes. Raw aloe vera is slimy so be sure to wash it after. It also has thorns so be careful when handling the aloe stalk.

3. Oil essences. The Greeks have been using olive oil to make their hair shiny and smooth. They also massage their scalp with olive oil. Olive oil is a known antiseptic and it cleans the scalp, encouraging hair to grow uninterrupted. You can also add rosemary and lemon grass to the olive oil by immersing them for 2 to 4 weeks. An alternative is coconut virgin oil which has the same antiseptic and moisturizing quality of olive oil.

4. Mayonnaise. It may seem strange but mayonnaise is a popular remedy for hair loss. The egg yolk and oil in the mayonnaise has intense moisturizing effect on the scalp and hair. It is best to do this in the evening. Smooth mayonnaise on the hair and on the roots of the hair. Wrap your hair in a shower cap and leave overnight. In the morning, you can wash it off. If you feel uncomfortable sleeping with mayonnaise on your hair, you can wash it off after a few hours.

5. Water. Drink lots of it. Water has wonderful hydrating effects on the body as well as on the scalp. Both a home remedy and a medical fact, drinking eight to ten glasses a day can provide much needed moisture to your hair, encouraging hair growth.
