Professional Clippers

By charlie reese

Because I shave my head, I use hair clippers a lot. I have always bought them at the drugstore. Usually, I can get a cheap one for 20 or 30 dollars. They all work well for a while, but they soon wear out. Although many of them claim to be professional clippers, I am definitely not convinced. I have seen the professional clipper at the barber shop. It is heavy, ugly, industrial, and straightforward. It never seems to choke on hair, always rings with a loud and powerful buzz, and works dependably.

The so-called professional clipper that I was using, however, was as different from this as night and day. First of all, it had this very slick, modern design. This isn't something to complain about per se, but it shows that appearance features prominently in the design of this professional hair clipper. It was slimmer, longer, and more curvy than the hair clippers in the barbershop. It was also quieter.

It did have some features that you couldn't get on a professional clipper. There were several different attachments to get different hairstyles. Some of them would allow you to cut your hair at a certain set angle or a certain distance from the scalp. On first appearance, they seemed like useful functions. I used the attachments all the time, and I knew if I tried a professional clipper, I wouldn't be able to anymore.

Nevertheless, when my hair clippers wore out, was finally fed up for good. I decided to look at real professional grade hair clippers. When I went to the barbershop supply store, I was a little bit disappointed at first. Every professional clipper was huge. The hair clipper set that I had last bought came with two appliances: a large clippers for doing the head and a smaller one for details. The smaller one was battery-powered and portable, a big convenience. By contrast, every professional clipper that I could find was big and clunky. I had seen people do extremely detailed work with professional clippers, but I couldn't figure out how. I supposed that I would just have to learn.

Looking back, getting a professional hair clipper was one of the best purchases I made in the past year. It forced me to depend on my own skills rather than a bunch of unnecessary attachments. I can now style my own hair quite attractively, and have even started giving haircuts to friends. Best of all, it still works! - 17274

So let's explore the following tips in setting up your own home gym.

First, you need to determine which parts of your body you are keen to tone or work out. Clarify you needs. Ask yourself what your purpose is for working out"is it to tone?

While it's easy to fall in love with some of the newer machines and everything they have to offer, these new additions might not be exactly what you need.

How to Get a Flat Stomach and Burn Belly Fat

By Ricardo d Argence

A combination of three things, mindset, diet, and exercise is the secret to burning belly fat and getting a flat stomach. Like you, I've encountered a lot of printed advice regarding diet and exercise, but I realize that in order to succeed, a person must have the right mental conditioning.

Before making a change in your lifestyle get your body checked. You must have an understanding of why you are not thin and why you want to be thin to gain the mental ability to accept the changes need to get a flat stomach.

It is essential to have a proper diet. If you drink coffee, try drinking it black instead of with sugar. Start with a good, healthy breakfast, and make sure your lunch and dinner are reasonable and healthy. Try to stay away from fast foods for lunch. Quick, junk food items are loaded with preservative ingredients and calories, and overconsumption of them is bad for health.

Don't consume carbonated drinks or foods that contain a lot of sugar. Try to drink beverages with natural sugar, such as fruit juices. Rather than reaching for that bag of chips, choose raw vegetables for a healthier choice. Surprisingly you may find them just as delicious and you will have more energy.

For dinner, it's still okay to eat some of your favorite foods a couple of days a week, so long as you cut down on your portions. Don't go back for seconds. Calories store up in your fat cells while you are sleeping, so never under any circumstances snack after dinner.

Exercise should be done everyday, but try not to do the same workout everyday. After a little more time, you might even find yourself jogging.

When I mention daily workouts, I'm not referring to strenuous daily workouts. The hard exercises should be limited to at least every other day. When you have a day 'off' the routine, make tiny efforts like using a staircase rather than an escalator on the job, or try mowing the lawn.

You should take your time and go slow at first and as time goes by then you can increase your exercise to help you achieve your goal. Sit-ups are the way to go for this but don't throw out your back. Always to 10 minutes of stretching before you get into the hard exercise. In addition, a number of different exercise apparatus are available to help work out your abs with little stress on your spine.

Once you know what you like, it is important to stay with that exercise routine as much as you can. Don't fool yourself into believing that if you skip a workout, you will make up for it in the next workout session. It will be easy to think of reasons why exercise isn't necessary.

Make sure you have a scale and are keeping track of how you are doing. When you see yourself losing weight you will be encouraged to keep going. If you're not getting the outcome you want change your dining habits and the routine of your workouts. Remember, you're not the first person in the world that made the commitment to burn off that fat and enjoy a new, flat stomach. - 17274

Should You Buy Organic and Not Just for Health Benefits

By Kiiera Succes Group

Weve all been told that organic food is better for us; it contains more minerals and less dangerous chemicals, but lots of people dont even stop to consider the benefits organic food has on our environment and on its producers. In addition to various other benefits, organic products put fewer pesticides, fertilizers, and other dangerous chemicals into the environment. This makes it beneficial for not only your family, but for other families now and in the future.

A major benefit of reduced chemicals from agriculture is an improvement in our soil quality. Organic farming works to build the soil naturally through companion planting and crop rotations. This works with the natural system to keep the soil healthy. Traditional agriculture uses chemicals to supplement soil; treating the symptom without treating the cause.

Do you think all the chemicals from agriculture end up in the plants or soil? Think again. Water from rain or irrigation doesnt all stay on the fields. It can run off into lakes, rivers, and streams. It can also seep deep into the soil and enter underground water supplies. And when this water leaves the fields, it takes all the dangerous chemicals with it. So even if you dont eat the food produced by traditional agriculture, you could still be getting these chemicals through your local water supply. And while many places control the amount of these chemicals, others cant. In many rural areas, the only available source of water is from the ground.

If youre concerned about the effect these dangerous chemicals might have on your family, think of the consequences of working with these chemicals every day. People who work on traditional farms are exposed to fertilizers and pesticides more often and in higher amounts than your family will ever be. There are many cases every year of people being poisoned with agricultural chemicals; accidentally and intentionally.

Pesticides can affect wildlife in the area. If you kill off all the bugs, the birds have nothing to eat. Then the animals that eat the birds will also have nothing to eat. If animals survive, but still have chemicals in their system, they can poison larger animals that eat them. Another factor is that not all insects are pests. Many pesticides also kill beneficial wildlife as well as the harmful inhabitants.

What may be the worst affect of traditional agriculture is that its other practices make the need for pesticides and fertilizers greater. Planting the same crop year after year can make your plants more susceptible to pests. Failing to keep the soil from washing away makes the new soil require more fertilizers so plants will grow. Traditional farming is taking no steps to reduce their use of chemicals, just to make them greater.

In addition to the benefits of chemical free agriculture, organic producers work with the environment as a system. They promote conservation of water and soil and strive to keep the land the way it is so future generations can work the land as well. - 17274

Warp Speed Fat Loss - Abs Workout Diet Tips

By Jim Stevens

People are often misguidedly assured with their rigid workout schedules and training routines that they pay no attention to their diet. Some would claim that "It is OK to eat what you want as long as you burn them in activities in the gym", Sorry to tell you that this is a great misstep in achieving that dream abs.

Yes, you burn fat during workout but the process of totally eliminating them in your system is through the help of balanced nutrition and with the right diet and food consumption, the workout overall will effect its magic on you. So, how to choose the best diet for your Ab Workout?

Eat more fiber

To ditch the fat and show off firm, beautiful abs, eat at least 25 grams of fiber daily. Fiber, which is the indigestible part of fruits, vegetables and whole-grain foods, helps you achieve flat abs. For best results, increase your fiber intake slowly over the course of one month and drink plenty of water to keep food moving through your system as quickly as possible.

Go for high-quality carbs

When you eat carbs, they break down into glucose, which is stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver. When glycogen is stored, it carries with it three times its own weight as water, compared to no water at all for protein and fat. If you eat an extremely high-carb diet, you may store excess water, experience bloating and gain temporary water weight. Remember to focus on balanced eating.

Water up!

Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day. Beverages with little or no calories, caffeine or sodium, including herbal tea, are best. Avoid regular soft drinks and soups with lots of sodium. If you are eating plenty of water-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables and low-sodium soups, you can get half of your water requirements from foods.

Avoid carbonated drinks. Fizzy drinks, including soda pop and spritzers, increase bloating because the carbon dioxide trapped in the bubbles creates gas, which slows down stomach emptying.

Sodium Alert

Choose fresh, natural foods over fast, commercial or packaged foods. Instead of ordering french fries, have a baked potato. Instead of a pickle why not enjoy a fresh cucumber. Beware of cured meats and remember that soups are high in sodium; some canned varieties contain more than 1,100 milligrams per cup. Read labels carefully.

Sleep light

People who skipped breakfast or lunch and ate their largest meal later in the day has lower metabolisms. Eating light at night will reap double benefit: You'll wake up with a light stomach, and you'll also have a better appetite for a fiber-rich breakfast, which sets you up for a day of healthful eating. Eat five times a day. Your body needs food every three to four hours, so instead of eating three large meals, try to schedule five smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day.

Stress-Away!

Stress triggers the hormone cortisol to turn up your appetite and deposit fat around the organs in your abdomen. And that's not all, it can trigger diabetes and cancer too so the best and commonly known anti-stress action for you to do is exercise. - 17274

Why Use Kettlebells in Your Training?

By Steve Perch

There are many advantages that can be obtained from using kettlebells in your workout. It doesn't matter what size you may be. And even if you are currently using free weights, adding kettlebells will further increase the advantages of your routine.

One great thing about kettlebells is that they cross the line between working out and practicing. The more you try, the better your technique.

Kettlebells require your full concentration as opposed to dumb bells which tend to create a

This does not give the person the full benefits that he or she should be receiving and is why kettlebells are so different. This type of mindless exercise is never going to give all of the benefits that could be received from using kettlebells.

Kettlebells are the best tool around for improving both your strength and endurance. Beyond what you would achieve with free weights or gym machines.

Why kettlebells require so much focus and attention could be because the center of gravity of the bell is several inches away from the handle where it is being held. This means that the person using them must truly concentrate in order to make it work.

Another advantage of kettlebells is their size. They are far easier to store and move than large equipment. Making them particularly suitable for those wishing to train at home.

They are also much more suitable for people who need to keep training whilst traveling.

There are a great many kettlebell training instruction DVDs out there that will get you off on the right track.

After time, you will have no problem understanding why kettlebells are so important to a person's general physical health and why kettlebells should be used by anyone looking to get in shape and tone up. Work out by yourself with the bells or get a few friends or family involved.

And the more people you manage to convince to get involved, the more fun you'll have. - 17274
