    Manmakers!! (kettlebell)

    You will be greatly surprised by what you can learn from him. The swing is not like what you would imagine it to be done by most. He breaks it down to many components. You will find that you won't get much strain/injury after following it through with him. What I really like about the dvds...

    Manmakers!! (kettlebell)

    update me on the best new workout DVDs

    Foam Roller density ???

    There are different density rollers as far as I know. Here we have the red coloured ones which are real hard, the blue and white coloured types that are softer. Some have another roll inserted in the centre and these are kinda soft. Unless your threshold for pain is really low, in the long...

    OMG Kettlebells

    I have the Iron Core 1 and would say it is boring indeed compared to The Kettlebell Way to Your Perfect Body (the remake of Providence). The Kettlebell Way really gets me working out because the pace is good, the music is good and both Beth and Anthony are so good to workout with. I could not...

    OMG Kettlebells

    The difference is whether they are competition grade or normal grade. I was told by my trainer, the competition grade (pro grade) is much better because of the distribution of weight and etc. It was described as : Competition style features square handles and a full body which sits lower on the...

    Accutane

    I have very bad acne before and have also taken roaccutane. It did help to clear my conditions. However, you may want your daughter to try this first. Get a cucumber and sliced it thinly and then lightly rub the cucumber slices over the face. Try this a few times a day. You can also try...

    Just ordered P90X

    Hi You would probably need the pull up bar or somewhere you can do pullups sometimes or so when you are ready to do them. However, you can do these exercises to strengthen your back so that you can do pullups later. Here is the link...

    P90X

    I did not like P90X the first time i tried it but now I would say it is good to own it. Now that I have learned about core stablility and practiced functional movement, I have a better insight into P90X training. I would say P90X would be similar and yet different from STS. If you can afford...

    Classical Stretch - which one do I buy?

    I have the The Full Body and Intense Athlete Stretch workouts for a few years already. The stretches are unique and very good especially if you have body impingement problems. Basically stretches in general are not meant for relaxation per se as most people think stretches are for. For...
