Empire Silver Sterling Beaded Dumbbell Rattle

Empire Silver Sterling Beaded Dumbbell Rattle

I purchased this item as a christening gift for my nephew. I thought it might be a keepsake type gift because he is only four months old. As soon as his gifts were opened and he was offered the rattle, he held it and didn't let go. It is lightweight, and his little hand fit perfectly around the center. He also seemed to like the rattle noises, which were quiet enough that he could rattle away without it becoming grating. It is cool at room temperature and will be perfect when he starts teething. I definitely recommend it!

We got this as a present and it is a very pretty little keepsake. It goes well with other silver keepsakes we have, like a little silver covered photo album and silver piggy bank. However, this rattle has not really captured out 5.5 month old baby's interest, although other rattling toys have. Further, the few times she has played with it we were alarmed by its damage potential. When she waves it around (flails) there is a good chance she will knock herself in the head with it. This can happen with any rattle, but most are not made of hard silver. Second, when she is flailing it around, there is a good chance she will fling it, and it can accidentally hit a plate, glass or other breakable. Again this can happen with any rattle, but most are not heavy silver. Finally, other rattles are also good teethers. I don't want her teething on a silver rattle. So we have retired it to the top of her bureau where it is very attractive among the other keepsakes.

Redmon Fun and Fitness Exercise Equipment for Kids - Weight Bench Set

I work with preschool children with special needs and bought this to meet the needs of a student who likes to run. From the first day, all of my students wanted to get on it and check it out. It has been wonderful for not only the students I originally bought it for, but I have a number of students who request it on a regular basis to help calm their bodies. This was so much better than I could ever have imagined and the quality is outstanding.

66FIT Chrome Dumbbells with Foam Handles Set x 5kg

66FIT Chrome Dumbbells with Foam Handles Set x 5kg

Excellent pair of dumbells with nice soft, spongy black centre bars and an attractive shiny finish on the chrome. They are smaller than I expected for 5kg units and feel easy to handle and store away in the home. I find 5kg just about right for dumbells and I don't want the extra added weights of an adjustable model to store and lug around. I've had those before and they just become a nuisence after a while. These are great to just hide away and pick up and go to work when you have a bit of spare time. They are small, neat and compact and very well balanced. One negative is that one of the chrome weights was covered with an oily substance that took a bit of cleaning off - but its gone now and all is shiny and new. Ideal for the purpose and I use them every day and then they disappear.

New Image Shake Weight Women's Dynamic Inertia Dumbell

I was keen to try the Shake Weight after a friend in the States reported a measurable improvement in her upper arms, chest and shoulders after only a few weeks of daily use. What appealed to me the most was that it only took six minutes - and, believe me, once I started using it, I wouldn't want to do it for seven! I'm no gym bunny so I found it quite a vigorous work-out. The DVD is clear and informative and the toned female demonstrator (Lynsey) is a qualified personal trainer. You can tell this from her use of phrases such as "Great Job!" and "Now for an active recovery!". Although the workout only takes six minutes and the exercises are simple, it IS quite important to do them correctly i.e. gripping the weight firmly at all times, keeping the wrist straight and the arms and elbows at the correct height and distance from the body. Fortunately this is clearly demonstrated on the DVD. I've been doing the workout on an average of five days per week for about four weeks now and I have already started to see an improvement. My sagging under-arm area is firming up and I have increased muscle tone in the bicep/tricep area. My posture is also improved and I have also noticed increased strength in my upper body. It's not a miracle cure; it is hard work and you do have to be persistent. One thing though: it's very important to combine this (and indeed any) exercise with healthy eating. There's no getting away from that if you want to see fast results. On the whole, a great value-for-money product, no batteries required,and it does what it says on the box.

Strength Training Anatomy - Strenghten Your Core

 

The Strength Training Anatomy Workout

By Mary Meade

Core strength training has become a hot topic in the fitness industry recently, and superficial fitness buffs merely assume that it basically means intensive abdominal exercises. However, it isn't just about your abs at all, because other muscles make up your core as well. Aside from your surface and deeper abdominals, these include the muscles on your trunk and torso, namely the cervical or upper region of the spine, the thoracic or middle region of the spine, and lower back, or the lumbar region.

Looking at the location of these muscles, you can tell that core strength training then is to support the spine, shoulders and pelvis by strengthening the surrounding muscles, and to fortify the strength of your mid-section, so that it may lend power to the rest of your body. If you didn't have any strength in these muscles then you probably couldn't even stand. Strong pelvis muscles helps to strengthen your legs. Strengthening the shoulder frame will give power to your arms. Supporting the spine will keep everything all under control.

Having good core strength helps prevent you from being injured as well as giving you more control of your physical actions and better balance. One such injury that core strength training is employed for is when you have a susceptible lower back. Lower back pain is not limited to athletes and fitness subscribers, it is a problem among anyone with a weak spine. Some individuals get into core strength training because they initially sought to cure their back pain woes.

Core training exercises are composed of exercises that work these parts of the body. Bridges, or exercises where you brace yourself up from the floor with your elbow and arm facing different positions. The prone bridge develops strength in your trunk and pelvis, the lateral bridge in your abdomen, while the supine bridge, where you prop your hips up diagonally to the floor, anchored by your upper body and feet, develops the gluteal muscles. An exercise called the Plank, or a hovering exercise, is similar to these bridge exercises.

Use Russian Twists to help develop your upper and middle body. For abtomen and muscles in your lumbar region you can use pelvic thrusts. Core strength exercises must successfully not only develop one muscle area, but several simultaneously. Other exercises that strengthen different groups of core muscles are squats, lunges, push ups, lateral pull downs, back extensions, chin ups and different crunches.

Pilates has helped advance core strength training by bringing in more an more alternative exercises. You can train using stability and medicine balls and other products like wobble and balance boards.

Start simple with your core strength training program. Begin with the basics, crunches and push ups. If you'd like to continue a do-it-yourself program, you could also incorporate yoga into your exercise regimen, as you learn balance and centering from yoga and keep you focused on your core, what it is, what it needs.

If you would rather have guidance in core strength training, find a trainer you're comfortable with and willing to figure out an ideal core training program for you. Now that you know what it is, it's much easier to find what you need.
