Both products were developed to allow for increased functionality in their use, by making the hands of the trainee free to engage in multiple training exercises to maximize workouts and to achieve multiple training benefits. The other functional aspect of the product is its usefulness to those confronted with physical therapy and rehabilitation due to injury, such as paralysis, stroke, heart-attack, dismemberment, severe burns and athletic injuries. The major challenge for these individuals is their inability to hold weights in their hands while engaged in physical therapy and rehabilitation, which can be very difficult and next to impossible due to nerve, ligament, skin, muscular or bone damage, which can greatly impact ones rehabilitation. "In our test marketing of the product, the reaction and feedback has been tremendous," says Roni Melikokis, Creative Director. "People engaged in such activities as general fitness, high impact aerobics, cardio-kickboxing, speed-walking, jogging and treadmill training are all saying the same thing.

The product allows them to engage in high impact workouts, which they're not able to do with regular wrist weights because wrist weights shift during high and even low impact workouts. They're also saying the product elevates their cardio-conditioning a lot faster and they feel the burn immediately in their arms, shoulders and back."Kelly Wright from New Hampshire says, "I want to accomplish something in every exercise I do and with this product I know I am because I feel the burn within minutes after I begin my workout, and the best thing about this product is that you can wear it throughout your entire workout. It never has to come off.""We are extremely excited about this product," says Jerome Tomlin, president and co-founder of GARSH Sports Equipment. "With this product we truly feel we are providing some good to the general public and to those in medical need. One of our missions as a company is to greatly impact those who want to improve as athletes, and positively affect the lives of those who truly want to feel better about themselves and their physical condition.

And from the feedback we've gotten so far, we think we're headed in the right direction."

Dieting on its own may work but with a fitness program in place the chances are greatly increased.Being fitter lowers your heart rate when at rest. This means your heart doesn't have to work as hard when you are resting and being fitter also helps your body to take up more oxygen. This is circulated in your blood to your muscles and to your brain with the obvious benefits that fitness brings.Fitness also helps to control or reduce your blood pressure levels, both diastolic as well as systolic. This has recently been particularly important for me personally as I have been suffering from hypertension and have been given medication by my physician to help reduce it. A problem of the medication has been to lower my heart rate which has meant less oxygen has been pumping round my body to my brain which often left me forgetful and confused.

My work colleagues still think I am confused but they laugh and tell me it is a sign of old age. I don't really think they mean it it's just the usual office joking, but I have answered them by getting fit and I have been working on a fitness regime for several weeks now and the benefits are evident. I am no longer confused, my weight has gone down and body fat is disappearing. I feel much healthier and my hypertension is now under control. Other benefits are that a higher fitness level also helps to lessen the risk of heart disease and chance of having a stroke.

Again I have been at risk here as I used to be a smoker but I've given that up as well. It's not easy to raise your fitness when you smoke, so cutting that out helps as well.There are other benefits to fitness which you should also think about. Higher fitness helps to increase your strength and stamina and this is especially important, as we get a little older. There are four major areas we need to look at for a proper fitness regime. You need to develop a program of aerobic exercise to help develop your fitness.

Aerobic activity is a fitness training activity which is lengthy in duration but low in intensity. This type of activity is exercises such as walking, biking, swimming and aerobic classes.Take up resistance training, weight lifting to many of us, but I'm not qualified enough to discuss this in any depth. My fitness regime in this area consists of using small weights (to begin with) as anything heavy and I'd give up on day one.Take up flexibility exercises. Yoga is an excellent example, and finallyYou need proper nutrition, a balanced diet of the proper foods to develop your levels of fitness and help to raise your fitness levels. Because of these 4 reasons I suggest you think about your local gym or a personal trainer.

The experts are trained all about fitness and can advise you on what is best for you. Everyone is different and the fitness program you find on the Internet or in a book may be unsuitable for you in your quest for higher fitness. One of the major hurdles though is motivation. To raise your fitness you need to be motivated. You cannot buy fitness fruit from the deli and just become fit.

Fitness takes time and you need to work at it. Just take it steady at first. I'm 48, smoked most of my life and have been overweight for most of it. I've also suffered from hypertension and was thought to be diabetic at one stage. Now I can jog for 6 miles 3 times a week, I eat healthily, pump weights for an hour and walk all day without any problems.

How? Well I developed a fitness program, have worked at it, built it up and keep practicing. The result. My fitness levels are now higher than I ever though possible.I did it, so now it's your turn. Good luck..

At the end of the eight-week period, the researchers measured the students' fitness and discovered that their muscular strength had increased by up to 31%, their muscular endurance improved by 57%, their flexibility increased by 188%, and their cardio respiratory fitness improved by 7%. These results are pretty amazing when you consider that the study was only conducted for eight weeks. How can something that seems so benign have such a major impact on muscle fitness? Muscle Strength ? Unlike traditional weight building exercises, in yoga your body provides the resistance. While you are not likely going to produce the bulked up muscles of some weight lifters, you will certainly increase your muscle strength.Many poses in yoga are done very slowly or you stay in the posture for several breaths. It is much more challenging to your muscles to hold a pose or do it slowly than it is to allow momentum to move you through an action.

I have been working out with weights for many years so my muscles are used to being strengthened. Yet, I have practiced certain yoga routines during which my muscles screamed for mercy and I actually had to get out of the pose and then resume it because my muscles were so challenged. I don't often experience this during weight training sessions.In addition, some balance postures such as Tree Pose and Shoulderstand require enormous muscle control in order to prevent you from falling over. This helps to build and strengthen your muscles. Muscle Balance ? In weight training, you isolate a specific muscle as you perform an exercise and this leads to a short, tightened muscle.

The muscles you develop during yoga are more likely to be elongated, because while you are strengthening them, you are simultaneously lengthening them. You also do not focus on an isolated muscle, but actively recruit the smaller muscle groups as well. You truly work your entire body when you practice yoga.Practicing yoga can help realign your muscles, so they are more balanced. Since you are not overworking any specific muscle group, you are less likely to get injured. In addition to all its other benefits, yoga can help you improve muscle fitness.

Whether you choose to use it as your primary means of strength training or you want it to supplement your other exercises, yoga can help your muscles grow fit, balanced, and strong..

Fitness coaching by phone saves you time, frustration and money. With a phone coach you have a 20 to 30 minute weekly phone session to determine your goals and exercise schedule for the week. You exercise on your own, whenever and wherever it is convenient. Tara, a phone coaching client in California liked the convenience and the motivation her coaching program provided: A friend of mine at work suggested phone coaching. I said, why not? I didn't have to go anywhere.

I could call my coach from work and exercise by just walking out the front door of my office. Pretty soon, I found on my walks that my feet were wanting to fly over the pavement, so I started walking and running, then built up to where I would run the 30 minutes. It became addictive - I was actually looking forward to it! Fitness coaching by phone is most valuable as a means of keeping people accountable. Too many people, for example, join a health club with expectations of attending regularly and getting fit. Its not too difficult to keep this commitment at first, but inevitably it becomes easier to find excuses to not go, especially when no one is checking up on you.

Accountability is essential! Researchers at Stanford University have been studying phone-based exercise counseling for over 20 years. They have found astounding results - after six months of phone coaching, up to 90% of the subjects were still exercising on their own. Those people who had a coach to guide them and to hold them accountable were more successful and exercised independently, working with their coach by phone. One of the most important goals of phone coaching is to teach the participant how to become his or her own independent coach and motivator. By learning how to exercise on your own, you will be able to create a lifelong habit.

Fitness coaching by phone is a concept whose time has come. You can find fitness coaches all over the United States. They have helped thousands of clients find the motivation to get the results they have always wanted! If you are ready to take charge of your health and fitness and finally reach you goals, phone coaching may exactly what you are looking for. Your success may be just a phone call away!.
