Flexi-Bar The Best Training Tool in Years to Come!


In my 15 over years in the fitness industry, facing and using all sorts of training methods plus any possible portable fitness gadgets available, I have the heart and love for Flexi-Bar. I can foresee it is the fitness tool for generations after generations.

As I was sharing with my girlfriend Yin. For over 9 years I have a nagging pull on the left side of my neck plus a cracking sound when I tilted my head to the right. I do Pilates, Yoga, resistance training and suspension training. Am bodily flexible too! All it took was three times in using the flexi-bar, within a week, to realized the nagging pull and cracking sound at my neck was totally gone! Besides witnessing this on my own body, I witnessed the improvements in people too, after using flexi-bar, in a very short period of time.

I see and even hear instantly, from the feedback of people who uses flexi-bar, the relief they get for their muscle tension. Most commonly at the neck and trapezius area.There's is just too much benefits to type it in here.

You want toning? Use Flexi-Bar! You want increase metabolism? Use Flexi-Bar! You want to improve firmness to your entire body? Use Flexi-Bar! You want to get rid of the tightness in your hamstrings, lower back, chest, shoulder girdle area? Use Flexi-Bar!

More...! You want to further improve your posture in Yoga and Pilates? Use Flexi-Bar! You want to feel instant opening of your hips and realignment to your body? Use Flexi-Bar!

Truly! Like many others, my first impression, when I saw the Flexi-Bar was... huh? It is just a stick! What can it possibly do? You sure it is effective and good? Wow! Was the feeling I get when I continue to train with my Flexi-Bar. I have tried it together with my Yoga poses & Pilates poses. Flexi-Bar does help in your body degree of rotation (twisting) and bending. You will witness for yourself, just how far more your body can turn / twist / bend, just by using the Flexi-Bar for 30 seconds in a particular pose.

For those of you who have tried Flexi-Bar, you felt it for yourself, these bodily positive reactions. Increase heart-rate, improve blood circulation to your skin, immediate tension release at neck, firmness of body and much more.

Don't miss this December 2013 PT + Flexi-Bar training package. Specially created, knowing the good results one can get from it.

Looking into the Aging World Population

Image from CNBC


While most of Southeast Asia is expected to enjoy relatively young populations in the decades ahead, one country appears to be bucking the trend in a big way.

Thailand, the region's second-biggest economy after Indonesia, is aging rapidly and economists say not enough is being done to prepare the country for the demographic change taking place.

  • Global study: World not ready for aging population

The world is aging so fast that most countries are not prepared to support their swelling numbers of elderly people, according to a global study being issued Tuesday by the United Nations and an elder rights group. (continue)


  • 2 billion people will be aged 60 and older by 2050. This represents both challenges and opportunities.

  • Around 4-6% of older persons in high-income countries have experienced some form of maltreatment at home.


  • 25-30% of people aged 85 or older have some degree of cognitive decline.

If you want to experience the power and agility of boxing without risking a broken nose, Piloxing may be for you. Piloxing combines Pilates and boxing moves in a high-spirited interval workout and is a unique new fitness program that's gaining popularity worldwide, spurred on by celebrity converts.

Where Did Piloxing Come From?
The founder of Piloxing, Swedish dancer and celebrity trainer, Viveca Jensen, wanted to find a way for women to attain a self-image that's both powerful and sexy. Her solution was to create an exercise that uses weighted gloves and boxing movements to tone the arms, while incorporating the sculpting and flexibility of Pilates exercises. When experienced in a motivating class format, Piloxing delivers a fun yet challenging interval workout that includes playful, sexy dance moves.

Benefits of Piloxing
Jensen credits Piloxing with a host of health benefits, including:

  • Cardiovascular fitness through a core-focused interval workout
  • Muscle toning and sculpting without bulking, leading to firmer arms, thighs, and belly
  • Fat burning through a fun "fusion" activity

What Classes Are Like
A growing number of gyms have started to offer Piloxing classes by instructors trained specifically in the discipline. Piloxing classes are high-energy and may feature dance and club music, combined with moves from hip-hop, salsa, and ballet. Expect pink gloves, whooping, fist bumps, and an interactive class environment as the instructor and students urge each other on.

Body Back Buddy : Must have!


  • Can be used effectively over the entire body to treat aches, pains, and sore muscles
  • Alleviates pain and stress due to fibromyalgia and other chronic muscle conditions
  • Apply pressure to trigger points, and along the spine
  • Deep, powerful and strong pressure, that you control
  • Comes with a free 12 page instruction booklet

Product Description
This popular design reflects years of feedback from massage therapists, chiropractors, and physical therapists. With 11 therapy knobs, the Body Back Buddy stimulates in between muscles and pinpoints trigger points for a more finely-tuned treatment. Engineered to be lightweight, strong and easy to use. Combines the best of the Body Back Buddy features for those who want the ultimate self massage tool. Overall length is 25 . Comes with a free 12 page instruction booklet.

Directions: Hook the Body Back Buddy massage tool over your shoulder or around your side to treat hard to reach areas of the back, neck and shoulders. Hold it comfortably by the handles or the frame so that the therapy knob touches the affected muscle. Push away from your body with your lower or outside hand while guiding the therapy knob with the upper or inside hand. This leveraging technique creates self-directed pressure to the targeted muscle. You can also use the Body Back Buddy to apply healing pressure to many other parts of the body such as your legs, arms, feet, chest and hips. Its versatility allows you to approach each muscle from many angles in creative ways. Since there are hundreds of ways to use the Body Back Buddy, take a moment to experiment and find out what works best for you. Use it standing, sitting, lying down or with a partner. Place the therapy knob on the sore muscle (trigger point) and apply what you consider to be a comfortable amount of pressure. When this muscle compression is released it stimulates a therapeutic response. Pressure preferences vary from one person to another deep and intense or gentle and relaxing. However, only apply as much pressure as you feel comfortable with. More pressure is not necessarily better! Ten to thirty seconds is normally enough time to elicit a therapeutic response in the muscle.

Comments:
By far, one of the best investment I ever made is this Body Back Buddy! Don't you just hate it when you have a nagging pull at your back and/or neck muscles? Want immediate relief? Then, you ought to own Body Back Buddy!

Had recommended it to my friends and have taught them how to use it personally. Even our moms uses it now, when they need a massage at their trapezius, back of the neck and lower back muscles. No more lifting up your arms and use your fingers to try to massage your strain/tired muscles and accidentally strain another body part.

Have been using it for years now and what a long term relief it has given me. Massaging my rotator cuffs muscles. You won't regret owning one of this to help you, for life.

Fit Ball, Chi Ball, Tennis Ball. All The Balls in Mind.

Today's topic is all about balls. Does not matter what types or kinds. Just use it! :) That's the thing about fitness exercise, making use of tools or gadgets available and may it be any where. Big or small, portable or immobile.



Tennis ball: it all started by hitting it across the court between 2 to 4 players. Now? We use it to massage our body. Trigger Point Therapy (Trigger Point Performance Self Myofascial Release and Deep Tissue Massage Ball)


Next, we have fitball or some call it swissball. Many names to it. Up-side: good for abdominal work, stretching and balance training. Portable since it can be deflated. Keep in mind, how are you going to inflate it? Most of the time is manually using handheld air-pump. Now? We use it in Pilates, Yoga and at home to sit on :) Swiss Ball: For Strength, Tone and Posture


Aaaah... the squeeze ball. Have felt them before and I would say it is good for those who tends to have nervous tension and who likes to bite their nails. This would be a great gift item. It would be great for me, when in a thinking or writing mode like now. Squeeze and release, to get my creative mind going. :)

There are just so many balls to mention. Tai Chi Ball Qigong too! View Tai Chi Ball Seminar Video

BOSU Balance Trainer: What is BOSU?


What is BOSU®?

*Pronounced “Bo,” like the boy’s name, and “Sue,” like the girl’s name.

What began as the launch of one of the most innovative products the fitness industry has ever seen turned out to be just the start of a journey that continues to expand, shape and define functional training.

Invented by David Weck, the BOSU® Balance Trainer debuted in 2000 and quickly became one of the most successful fitness training products in the world. Originally the name “BOSU” was an acronym for “Both Sides Up.” It meant that the BOSU® Balance Trainer could be used on either side, the dome or the platform.

Today, the term “BOSU” has evolved beyond the product to now mean “Both Sides Utilized,” a mindful approach to exercise that is a step beyond traditional training. This clarity of who we are and what we want to offer inspired the development of additional BOSU® products and programming, all of which are grounded in exercise science and proven in real-life application.

BOSU® Training is about expanding movement capabilities, reshaping bodies and strengthening minds. It’s about inserting thought into movement.  It’s about asking our clients, fitness students and athletes to be physically involved, but to also be present and fully engaged in the training process.

It doesn’t matter if you’re facing the toughest competition of your athletic career, looking to return to a fitter you, or just starting out. BOSU® Training can see you through it all with new challenges and exercise progressions always just around the corner.

Not Just the Product
Our products are known industry-wide for training balance, enhancing flexibility and delivering killer cardio workouts. They have an unprecedented reputation for building strength and fine tuning skills for sport.

But on their own, BOSU® products are just molded plastic, weighted rubber, and stability balls with secret filling. You have to engage them in order to bring them to life! So, beyond our products, we offer a system of mindful action, intentional movement and smart science that produces results.

The BOSU® training approach makes certain that when you get on the BOSU® Balance Trainer, or move with the BOSU® Ballast® Ball, you get everything you ever wanted from a feel-good, get-fit, no-regrets training tool. Even more than that, you get an intelligent training method that transcends any piece of fitness equipment.

Nasal Cleansing with Neti Pot


Nasal Cleansing Benefits
There are several benefits that have been associated with jala neti, apart from just nasal cleansing.  Given below are some of the most common benefits of the jala neti procedure:

It acts as a nasal irrigation technique to get rid of all the bacteria and dirt that have been trapped by the mucus, within the nose

The risks of suffering from diseases such as bronchitis and asthma can be reduced, by practicing this technique regularly.

Several people have the tendency of breathing through the mouth, because their nasal passages are blocked by mucus. Jala Neti can help reduce this tendency, thereby reducing the risks of suffering from several diseases and infections.

This technique can help get rid of the excess heat within the body, which has a soothing effect on the brain and the rest of the body. Therefore, several health problems like migraines, hysteria, mental tension, hypertension and depression can be alleviated through this technique.

Certain types of ear disorders, which include tinitis, middle ear infections and glue ear.

It is very helpful in draining out the sinus cavity and all the dirt and bacteria within it. This sinus irrigation reprograms the body’s mechanisms against infections such as allergies, hay fever and sinusitis. It also helps alleviate upper respiratory complaints, which include post nasal drip, an inflammation of the tonsils, sore throats and coughs.

People who are trying to quit smoking should try neti on a regular basis since it reduces the tendency of breathing through the mouth.

2XU Compression Wear

2XU Compression Wear

2XU Applied Performance Multiplied: Sports, fitness and/or health apparels to assist your performance all the time, every time.

2XU has designed compression wear, taking into consideration the effects in pre, during and post exercise performance. Research has been done with fabric choices taken into consideration, as well as any specific health issue like hamstring strain, shin splint, calf strain, hip/back pain and cramping muscles in their 2XU clinic choice of apparels.

Benefits:

Pre-Exercise
Improved Circulation: Faster warm up and enhanced overall circulation. Graduated compression of the limbs actively encourages and increases venous return to the heart and lymph nodes.

DVT Protection:  Deep Vein Thrombosis is a condition that mainly affects the lower body and is typically associated with long periods of travel or inactivity. 2XU Compression garments can enhance blood flow in these areas through enhanced venous return, reducing the risk of DVT and swelling in ankles and limbs.

During-Exercise
Reduced Damage:  2XU Compression features muscle containment properties which reduce muscle damage during exercise. By reducing muscle damage, 2XU Compression garments can minimize swelling post exercise and can significantly reduce the severity and duration of exercise induced muscle injury and soreness such as Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).

Increased Performance:  During exercise, your muscles are exposed to vibration. This major cause of muscle fatigue,known as muscle oscillation can be reduced when wearing 2XU Compression garments. This leads to improved muscle endurance, strength, power output and lower heart rate for greater performance.

Heightened Agility:  2XU Compression applies pressure to the skin surface to increase the body’s awareness for improved posture, agility and stability (proprioception). Heightened proprioception can help improve technique as an improved sense of your body’s positioning can increase balance, control and muscle coordination.

Increased Protection plus Comfort:  2XU Compression garments boasts a UPF sun protection rating of 50+ to offer maximum protection during outdoor training and competition. 2XU Compression fabrics wick moisture from the skin to keep the wearer dry and comfortable. 2XU Compression garments are also embedded with an antibacterial, odour resistant application to help minimize odour and prevent bacterial growth.

Post Exercise
Faster Recovery:  By offering graduated pressure, 2XU Compression garments work to improve the recovery cycle by helping the pumping action of the cardiovascular system; removing blood lactate from exercising muscles leading reduced swelling, faster muscle repair and reduction in muscle soreness.
