Best web hosting providers- sign up today!

These days there are hardly blogs hosted on a free server because what can be benefited from a paid hosting isn't easily attainable on a free server. Moreover, to build a website one needs to host the site on a server to get the site online. But it's very important to understand how web hosting works and the hosting sites that top the list. Before you sign up to any hosting site make sure you read the reviews written by experienced web masters on webhostingfan.com. You will get a better idea of many sites and the services provided by them, to compare and make your final choice. Getting started or transferring a website used to be quite tough before, but nowadays it's very easy and affordable too!

I recommend you to try Host gator web hosting. If you are first time client, you need not worry, for you will be provided the money back guarantee feature if in case you are not satisfied with the hosting. But i don't think the need should arise, as the server is considered the perfect choice for web hosting, be it your personal site or business site.

The roller coaster ride of life... last vs. this year.

The beginning of last year didn't take off well but by mid year, it took such a twist i couldn't believe my stars coz there was no looking back from then on... there was genuine happiness and fulfillment of lots of my wishes. I deem it as one of the best years and hope i follow up on the same ride this year. But i can see myself already on the same roller coaster ride this year too! The start was terrible, i encountered a lot of difficulties in calming myself for any small matter that cropped up, there were conflicts with a lot people and i'm still in a bad frame of mind since the robbery at my place while i was away on vacation. I'm now wondering with all the happenings whether July would bring me luck for everything, coz wealth no matter how much a person can have, he may only be rich by his achievements and fulfillment of establishing satisfying relationships. I am rich by family and close ones support, my husband and kids are more to me than anything. And i can already see lady luck flying in on me! :)

Biked 10 kilometers today

So I think a miracle has happened, I biked all morning with getting my AVON brochures out. I'm even tracking what I do (starting today, so we'll see how long it lasts) and that's how I know how much I actually biked.

Interesting how with getting the proper nutrients into me now with the YouthJuice, I am eating better (craving and enjoying the taste of fruits and veggies way more now), and needing to move and exercise, no faintness, no weakness. So cool.

I highly recommend for people looking to get fit easily, and have difficulties motivating themselves to try YouthJuice. It's been stops and starts for exercising for me, but that is much more due to my now busy schedule and trying to find the time to fit it in. I am motivated to work out, and I have the physical strength to do it and am following through on finding ways to fit exercise into my life.

MusicMonday - ♫ ABBA- The Winner Takes It All(Live 1980) ♫

When i listen to this song i cry rivers because this song reflects break ups and, breaks ups are real tough to deal with... I fear break ups all the time because they wrench the soul out of you after severing your heart open. Break ups embed a scar in your heart, which isn't visible to the eye of course but when you feel those scars then your life resembles nothing but, bitterness in the wilderness... and when your scarred, your scarred forever...

The Abbas, my favorite band from the oldies, must have felt terrible while singing this beautiful, emotional and meaningful song esp because it also reflects the bitter divorce between the lead singer in the song and one of the groups members. You can see 'past and pain' in her eyes, they tell it all... the duo concerned might verbally deny but never her eyes, whom sings :)

This lines are exactly how it was written on my Love and Romance blog coz i didn't want to change a word, i felt the same today after all... I would like to add that break ups tear you apart at the same time make you strong, you cant die... you got to live on as life being too precious, and one shouldn't settle for anything less your worth!

Biking Maggie

Figured I'd do well to pop up a pic of me now that I'm of normal skin tone and no longer puffy! And from today. (PS I really really hate pics of myself, but I just feel the need to show what YJ has done for the puffiness)

This person broke into my house and stole things while i was away on vacation!

She is a professional woman thief! Wanted by the police... and they're trying to trace her in the cities of Calcutta, Delhi and Bihar!

Calcutta's most wanted woman! I dont have to mention her name as she is quite a familiar face around the country. She is a drug addict, ran away from home as a youngster, strayed for money and now masterminds plans for breaking homes(relationships) and burglary! This person had broken into my house and stolen things and cash. The people living downstairs and around our building are witness's to her coming to my place when i wasn't there, was on vacation and walking away with our things after breaking in... the cops have the details and are trying to trace her as we have filed a GD against this woman. We have passed on her relatives and nos of the places she had been working and found out additional skeletons in her closet. She had also stolen things, laptop, cash from her previous work places and ran away... she is not responding to any of our calls and this is a clear sign of guilt and...

Topamax lawsuit- for seizures and migraine treatment side effects

I heard Topamax, an anti-convulsant can be used to treat epileptic seizures in children and adults. Can also help to prevent migraines which is a curse most of us have to endure. But this treatment does have its pros's along with the cons. It may result in cleft lip- a birth defect that may occur when the lip or palate fails to completely fuse together. The defect can result in a small, notched lip or in extreme cases, an open groove that extends from the roof of the mouth to the nose.

Though we are aware none of those defects or birth injuries are not any of the parents fault, even at O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath, the attorneys out there handling Topamax Lawsuit cases understand this, that it is possibly a dangerous side effect from the use of Topamax. The team of exceptionally experienced and experts combined with highly trained staff are prepared to handle even the most complex products liability claims, functioning in an uniquely equipped manner.

Business Opportunity at ground level

So I've come around to the realization that I have landed on an real opportunity here, and we are just at the ground level. I have, from my personal experience, discovered immediately after starting to use it, that YouthJuice really is what it says it is. And yet, besides doing this blog and telling a few people about it, I have not gone out of my way to really share this stuff. Why? To keep it all to myself? Yes!

But really, to have the ultimate health product drop literally right in my lap and be afraid to share it is really too bad. So I am going to start selling this stuff seriously. I am willing to put out the cash for a case of YouthJuice every month. Mainly because I know the health benefits of the juice, the anti-oxidents, the anti-inflammatory benefits are adding years to my life. They've brought me my youth back, my health back, given me energy that I haven't had since I was a kid. So yeah, I'm selling everybody I can on this and anyone who says no to me is just saying no to themselves.

News is offical, that Aishwariya Rai Bachchan is pregnant and the news was confirmed by none other than her father in law senior Bachchan. He is the grandfather to be of his son, Abhishieks Bachchans 'to be' first born.

With great humbleness and excitement, Amitabh Bachchan tweets "@SrBachchan: NEWS NEWS NEWS !! I AM GOING TO BECOME A GRANDFATHER .. AISHWARYA EXPECTING .. SO HAPPY AND THRILLED!!!"

Like always, whenever there grew an extra pound of fat on Aish, or a little bulgy tummy shown, rumor would spread of the assumed pregnancy.

Aish in 2011..

Not only is this exciting news for the the Bachchan family's fans but good wishes have been puring into from the film industry too as twitter lights up with the starts tweets wishing the couple and the Bachchan family.

Aish in her earlier days..

Writes Salman Khan at a show " wish the couple have kids as like an Indian team, not forgetting the extras!" hope it went well with him for he is a good soul despite his starry tantrums and some past issues with the actress!

With Salman Khan..

Well i guess this is going to be the breaking news for a month now! Hmmm.. am trilled myself but what the big deal, we all go through a pregnancy post marriage.. don't we all females?

Sandbag Workouts for Fat Loss - Josh Henkin

In the battle for greater fat loss, possessing the right tools is vitally important. Often boredom, lack of time, and minimal variety can quickly sabotage even the best laid fitness programs. This had led me to a continual and never ending search for training methods and tools that can produce fast results and keep training fun!

Fat loss and great fitness were only part of my goals as a serious back injury had long kept me from pursuing my personal fitness with great consistency. I constantly experimented with many different ideas and one that instantly seemed to fit all my needs was sandbag training.

With all the modern pieces of fitness equipment why would a sandbag appear to be an ideal solution for my fitness needs? I evaluated what are the common requirements of a well rounded fitness program?

1. Something that could train a lot of muscles at one time to stimulate not only fat loss, but optimal muscle gain.

2. A tool that could challenge my core strength for not only great abdominals, but one that was equally as strong to help bring my back to my ideal level.

3. A program that could easily be adapted to a beginner or an elite athlete.

4. Something that could be used in a multitude of ways to train endurance, strength, and flexibility.

5.Ideally a program that had stood the test of time and proven to be effective over the centuries.


Sandbags were ideal for all of these considerations. Training compound lifts is one of the first rules in creating effective fat loss programs. By stimulating a large number of muscles we burn a lot of calories as well as stimulate the positive hormones that help shred body fat and increase lean body mass. Sure, barbells, bodyweight exercises, and dumbbells can all be used in this manner. However, sandbags stimulate more muscles than any!

Because sandbags change their shape as you lift them, the body has to recruit the big prime movers as well as the stabilizers to perform all the lifts. This means we are training more muscles leading to a better result! Ever notice how much easier it is to lift a well balanced box with handles than an awkward bag with no handles?

Holding sandbags in different positions, whether it is on the shoulder, bear hug, zercher, or any of the many varieties makes the core work harder. The weight either tries to pull the body forward and the trunk must resist or the core has to prevent the body when the weight is loaded on the side.

Sandbags can be used for interval training, strength training, and easily integrated into many other fitness programs. Take a sandbag and your bodyweight and you can develop an incredible fat loss program that would never become boring!


Skeptic? Just give sandbag training one workout and you will quickly become a believer in its effectiveness and challenge.

BURN 1000 CALORIES WITH TRX SPARTACUS 2.0 WORKOUT POWERED BY WORKOUT MUSE

BURN OVER 1000 CALORIES WITH SPARTACUS WORKOUTS

75 million Americans suffer from a condition known as metabolic disorder (you can add a lot more if you count the Canada and the rest of the world as well), a condition characterized by a bulging belly and known as a precursor to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and even some cancers.

This reality has forced some of the top trainers in the world like BJ Gaddour and myself to up our game and create this new style of training that trumps aerobics known as metabolic resistance training that can help burn belly fat, boost weight loss, build rock-hard muscle, and skyrocket metabolism.

A metabolic workout is essentially a total body circuit of non-competitive exercises that works different areas of your body with short rest periods between exercises. In other words, you quickly and seamlessly alternate between a series of upper body, lower body, and core exercises to keep intensity high while getting a ton of work done in a very short period of time.

Metabolic workouts like the Men’s Health Spartacus 1.0 and 2.0 and my Spartacus workouts torch a TON of calories and can flat out get you ripped in no time. Every day I receive amazing body transformation testimonials from people all over the world that have done the Funk Roberts 4 Week Spartacus Program – http://www.spartacusworkout.com/

The Spartacus style workouts are being used by men and women of different fitness levels, athletes, combat fighters and of course the actors from Spartacus- Blood and Sand.

Here is a BJ Gaddour with a new 48-minute TRX Spartacus 2.0 Workout created for Men’s Health Magazine and you.






TRX SPARTACUS 2.0 WORKOUT CHALLENGE

Step1- Each exercise is a station. At each station do as many reps as you can in 40 seconds. Rest for 20 seconds and move on to the next station. Go until you’ve done 2 circuits, then rest 2 minutes and do 2 more circuits. Rest for another 2 minutes, then go to Step2.

Station#1- TRX Rear-Foot-Elevated Med Ball Slams

Station#2- Band-Resisted TRX Atomic Push-ups

Station#3- Kettlebell 1-Arm Bottoms Up TRX Single-Leg Squat

Station#4- TRX 1-Leg, 1-Arm Kettlebell Row

Station#5- TRX Sandbag Fusion Rotational Lifts

Step2- Each exercise is a station. At each station do as many reps as you can in 40 seconds. Rest for 20 seconds and move on to the next station. Go until you’ve done 2 circuits, then rest 2 minutes and do 2 more circuits and you’re done!

Station#1- Band-Resisted TRX Bent-Knee Hip Extensions

Station#2- TRX Sandbag Fusion Jammer

Station#3- TRX Rear-Foot-Elevated Sandbag Clean and Press

Station#4- TRX 1-Arm Row + 1-Arm Kettlebell Press

Station#5- TRX Rip Trainer Standing Side Planks

 
 
Burn 1,000 Calories with the Men’s Health TRX Spartacus 2.0 Workout Challenge!



Here is the article BJ Gaddour wrote on his experience shooting the Men's Health Magazine workout, the effectiveness of the workout and why YOU should be using a TRX suspension system. - http://www.workoutmuse.com/

When I was at RODALE headquarters last Monday shooting exercise vids among other things, I was chatting with Men’s Health Fitness Director Adam Campbell about their extremely successful Spartacus Workout series.

To briefly recap, Adam teamed up with world class trainers Alwyn and Rachel Cosgrove of Results Fitness in Santa Clarita, CA, to create some high-intensity, fat-smashing metabolic circuits designed for those dudes (and gals) looking to build a body of, well, epic proportions in line with promoting the new series SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND.

A metabolic workout is essentially a total body circuit of non-competitive exercises that works different areas of your body with short rest periods between exercises. In other words, you quickly and seamlessly alternate between a series of upper body, lower body, and core exercises to keep intensity high while getting a ton of work done in a very short period of time.

Adam told me that both the Spartacus 1.0 and 2.0 Workouts are the most popular Men’s Health workouts of all time and that says a lot for the world’s largest men’s magazine which pumps out countless killer workouts each and every month.

So why is the Spartacus Workout series so popular?

I think it’s because most fitness junkies love a crazy workout challenge and more importantly, the big results that come with rising to the occasion.

But there’s more to this workout series than just that.

The reality is that 75 million Americans suffer from a condition known as metabolic disorder, a condition characterized by a bulging belly and known as a precursor to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and even some cancers.

This reality has forced some of the top trainers in the world to up their game and create this new style of training that trumps aerobics known as metabolic resistance training that can help burn belly fat, boost weight loss, build rock-hard muscle, and skyrocket metabolism.

Though nobody will argue that a dietary intervention has far greater impact on reversing the trends of said metabolic disorder – mainly by cutting out added sugar in your diet and opting for more fibrous, nutrient-dense fruits and veggies – studies show that high-intensity anaerobic exercise can also help reverse insulin resistance, a symptom of metabolic disorder whereby your pancreas can no longer secrete enough insulin to effectively manage your blood sugar.

But beyond the health benefits, metabolic workouts like Spartacus 1.0 and 2.0 torch a TON of calories and can flat out get you ripped in no time.

To quote Adam Campbell:


“When Christopher Scott, Ph.D., an exercise physiologist at the University of Southern Maine, began using an advanced method to estimate energy expenditure during exercise, his data indicated that weight training burns more calories than originally thought—up to 71 percent more. Based on these findings, it’s estimated that performing just one circuit of eight exercises—which takes about 8 minutes— can expend 159 to 231 calories. That’s about the same as running at a 6-minute-mile pace for the same duration.”

So you can use classic resistance training exercises in a circuit format to burn as many calories of running without all that pounding on the joints- sweet!

Now the Spartacus 2.0 workout consists of 2 steps, each step consisting of circuit of 5 exercises repeated twice followed by a 2-minute transition period before you do it again. In other words, there are 4 different 10 exercise circuits that you perform for a fat-slaying 48-minute total body workout.

Using the latest caloric expenditure estimates of anaerobic exercise, this means that the Spartacus 2.0 Workout can burn over 1,000 calories just during the exercise bout itself!

Mind you, this doesn’t include the post-workout calorie burn or “afterburn” that continues to churn along for up 48 hours after completing this workout.

Yep, this workouts kicks ass and it will kick your ass if you have guts to do it!

But, recently I made a couple of tweaks to it that I think will get you even better results.

Where the original workout used dumbbells in an effort to be more user-friendly for people who workout in the comfort of their own home with minimal equipment options, my new TRX Spartacus 2.0 Workout uses the TRX Suspension Trainer in every exercise.

Why? Suspension training provides the type of unstable training environment that will engage more muscle, cause greater activation of your core (you know you love to work your abs), and burn even more calories than you would otherwise.

But there’s yet another X-factor with this unique training tool- it activates the fight or flight response that will truly make your body change and FAST.

More specifically, being suspended makes your body think it’s in a survival state and as a result you release catecholamines, better known as adrenaline, which are proven to best mobilize the stubborn fat found in the belly and lower back of men and the hips and thighs of women.

Plus, I think the TRX is second to none for providing a fresh and fun total fitness experience due to it’s portability and versatility and the fact that it can be integrated with other phenomenal training tools like kettlebells, resistance bands, sandbags, med balls, and more.

After all, Men’s Health did vote the TRX Suspension Trainer to be the best total body training tool on the planet for a reason.

Continuing to maintain

I am loving where I am at physically with taking the YouthJuice. I have not had any drastic improvements over the past week, more noticing where I am doing better overall, like with the nails. I am doing such a great job of keeping up on  multiple tasks over the long term, which I never used to do at all. Or clean the house in one shot without getting exhausted. Like today! One thing that I have discovered is I am preferring to eat healthy. The food tastes better and consuming alcohol and sugars are becoming less and less appealing. Just on it's own without me having to focus on it. I switched over to multigrain bread simply because I prefer the taste and texture. My digestive system is really happy now and humming along beautifully.
My skin is improving overall, I still have acne but it is not going to the cystic type like it was before, which is a relief. I can use my skin care products more effectively and can massage them into my skin now without getting a huge flareup. Lovely!!

Greatly improved circulation

My circulation has improved drastically, I was to the point before of feeling faint if I got too hot, or bent my head the wrong way. Also when hot, all my veins would bulge. So gross. And that has gone away. Another thing that YouthJuice has totally reversed for me!

It's after midnight

And I feel like a teenager again. I haven't sat up late like this in, oh, decades. Seriously. I have started to become a night owl again and am still waking up naturally by 7am. I think that I have developed the ability to function on less sleep, which is not anything natural to me at all. I have always had the tendency to sleep for 10 hours, and then wake up feeling great. I never felt like 8 hours was enough. I could never understand those people who could go on three hours a day and continually do fine. That was never me.

For the past week, I've been busy, very busy. I've stayed up late most nights and gone to bed around 1 or 2 am. And here I am again, Sunday night, catching up stuff, typing faster than I have in years. And feeling completely fine about it. Not even panicked that I might have problems at work tomorrow due to feeling tired. Because I'll be fine. WOW.

Plus, ran into a person who used to be one of my staff in a previous career. Very circumspect person, she only says what needs to be said and never gave out much emotionally. When I saw her I went up and said hi and she was not outgoing about it, so I figured no problem, that's always been her. Then half an hour later she came up, gave me her business card (cool stuff too!), and said "You look years younger than you did a couple of years ago. Whatever you are doing keep on doing it because it's working."

Wow. And very awesome to hear. Thank you!!

HOW TO GET RID OF JUMPER'S KNEE - PATELLA TENONITIS

WARNING NOTE – I AM NOT A DOCTOR. I AM NOT A PHYSICAL THERAPIST. IF YOU ARE INJURED, GO SEE A PROFESSIONAL.

I shot this video 10 weeks out from my Muay Thai fight in Thailand and wanted to share with you. I was feeling a little tweak in my knee (patellar tendinopathy), when I was skipping, in my prior training session and knew right away, my quads (which I hadn't worked in a while due to fight training) needed some love...and hence the workout.

I played professional indoor and beach volleyball for over 15 years.

What does that mean? It means a lot of jumping up and down, moving side to side, back and forth and the increase in the potential of getting knee injuries.

I am sure over the span of this period; I probably jumped up and down over 100,000 times, between practices, matches and beach volleyball games.

One of the most common nagging injuries for me and other volleyball players alike was the patellar tendinopathy, better known as jumper’s knee. This injury has put many athletes on the shelf, but with a few tweaks, many athletes can avoid this.

So with years of research, testing on myself and visits to my Physiotherapist, I found a few ways to combat jumper’s knee throughout by strengthening and stretching my quads and legs.

In this article I will give you a quick overview of what patella tendinopathy, some of the symptoms and ways I have found to help prevent and combat this nagging injury.
 


WHAT IS PATELLAR TENDINOPATHY (PATELLA TENDONITIS) ?

Jumpers Knee or Patellar Tendinopathy occurs when the patella tendon, which joins the kneecap (patella) to the shin bone, comes under a large amount of stress due to individuals who actively put extra strain on the knee joint. This is seen in individuals that perform sports that involve direction changing and jumping movements.

With repeated strain, micro-tears as well as collagen degeneration may occur as a result in the tendon. Not to be confused with patella tendonitis (tendinitis) which is a condition that indicates an inflammation of the tendon, tendinopathy is more about degeneration of the tendon.


SYMPTOMS:


Some of the symptoms that you may be experiencing if you have Patellar Tendinopathy are:

• Pain at the bottom and front of the kneecap especially when pressing in

• Aching and stiffness after exertion

• Pain when you contract the quadriceps muscles.

• The affected tendon may appear larger than the unaffected side.

For me, as soon as I felt that pain at the bottom of the knee, it was FUNK’S REHAB to the rescue.

I found when researching to write this article that there are 4 levels or grades to Patellar Tendinopathy

• Grade 1: Pain only after training

• Grade 2: Pain before and after training but pain eases once warmed-up

• Grade 3: Pain during training which limits your performance

• Grade 4: Pain during every day activities

If you have any of these symptoms, see you doctor first and then try my below suggestions



TREATMENT - How to Treat Patella Tendinopathy

This is the moment you have all been waiting for. Here are some of my suggestions for treating your jumpers/fighters/runners knee

• Quadriceps muscle strengthening program: in particular eccentric strengthening. These exercises involve working the muscles as they are lengthening and are thought to maximise tendinopathy recovery – see video and below Quad Workout.

• Stretching the quads, hamstrings, calves

• Ice packs to reduce pain and inflammation after any form of exercise

• Wear a knee support, or jumper’s knee strap to reduce pain and ease the strain on the tendon.

• See a sports injury specialist who can apply sports massage techniques to the tendon and advise on a rehabilitation program.

• Muscle strengthening of other weight bearing muscle groups, such as the calf muscles, may decrease the loading on the patellar tendon.

• Massage therapy - transverse (cross) friction techniques may be used.

• Rest from training

FUNK’S TREATMENT


My number #1 treatment is to try and strengthen the quad muscles and keep your legs strong and power full to ensure you take the pressure off your knees and on your quads when jumping, striking and/or running.

Implement the below workout into your weekly training schedule to ensure that your quads and legs are strong and powerful.



FUNK ROBERTS QUAD WORKOUT

1. BARBELL SQUAT 5 SETS OF 10 REPS (GO HEAVY, GO DEEP, GO HARD)

2. BODYWEIGHT BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUATS – 3 SETS OF 10 REPS

3. LEG EXTENSIONS – 3 SETS 10-15 REPS (GO LIGHT)

4. RIDE THE BIKE FOR 10 MINUTES

5. STRETCH, STRETCH AND STRETCH


BEST EXERCISES FOR YOU LEGS

These are the exercises that everyone should have in their workout arsenal. If you are not performing these moves then you are just wasting your time in the gym. Not saying that you have to these all the time, but these exercises need to be part of your workout regime. These are the Best Damn Exercises for Period


Training legs is probably one of the most overlooked, let me rephrase that, neglected body parts in peoples workout regimen. Unless you are a bodybuilder, very few invest the time to develop strong, powerful, yet leaned and ripped legs. They are your foundation and must be trained for optimal performance, injury prevention and overall your look.

Get your job done professionally

Sometimes you might want to indulge yourself in all the activities that you take interest in, but doing it yourself without a helping hand can be tiresome. Be it gardening, home remodeling or website designing, it does take hard work and great effort to get perfection into the passions of your lives. If it isn't a passion and just an interest, am sure you wouldn't mind success minus perfection, but now perfection can be just a call away even if its just an interest. Even if it is a project which is assigned to you, am sure you can stand or sit back and let a professional do it all for you. There wont be any harm in hiring a professional but it would end up costing a great amount of money. In this case Hire-a-Pro.com provides this service for free. All you have to do is sit and wait for business to bid on your project. Its all for free!

Remember a professionally done job is always a success and when you dont have to pay for it, there is where the added benefit to hiring a professorial comes into place. Here's a chance for contractors to get free construction leads.

letting go of past memories and embarking on a new journey...

Today is a very exciting and happy day for me as its a day ive been anticipating since ages, a day to forget and forgive and let go of all past memories.. a day to embark on a fresh and new journey trying my best to be happy from now on and always and forever.. trying my best to forget the bitter past.. what is life with feelings harbored and grudges held for the people who dont really care, infact dint care from the beginning, and so its time to sweep aside all the fears and hard feelings for people who are are not my own.

I'm tired of tiresome workload in my mind, and i want to leave it all somewhere in a faraway place where bitter memories wont find me again. I want to let bygones be bygones, coz am aware there is nothing worth not letting go which is an infestation in my mind and doesn't deserve a place in my life, even if it is just some memories of the past.

today i may be blank and wondering what it would be if supposed... but its always Gods will for whatever happens in our lives. He only knows best why....

Love this commercial
