<description><![CDATA[The Step360 is something completely new in the current home exercise market and is sparking tremendous amounts of interest, especially from personal trainers like myself who are always seeking a versatile, good-value piece of home exercise equipment that my clients will actually use. The concept of step aerobics isn't new of course; it has been around for nearly 60 years, would you believe?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ladies tend to shy away from working with weights for a number of reasons. Some fear that working with weights will give them large and unfeminine muscles, some simply have no idea what to do, some think that weight training will make the wrong parts of them bulge, and others would like to have a go but are very wary of walking into the male-dominated free weights part of the gym.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Pilates exercises can be immensely useful in the rehabilitation of many hip and knee problems as Pilates works by strengthening deep stability muscles and improving general core stability, which makes the body more balanced and reduces the strain on particular joints. Early in life we rarely have problems with our knees unless through injury, but as we get older the pressures of everyday life cause us to become unbalanced and put more strain on certain joints then we should. For example carrying a heavy bag to school every day on one shoulder causes a person to lean...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you don't like guessing at the best exercises to do so you can tone your thighs, the Thigh Glider is an innovative product that could help you out. This clever exercise machine fits in a corner of your house and weighs only 25 pounds, since it was designed with women in mind. It helps you tone your inner and outer thighs, firm your hips and lift and tone your buns at the same time. These are some of the hardest areas to work on normally, so a machine that targets all at once is ideal for someone who hasn't succeeded at toning them before.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As a personal trainer I'm always being asked by clients about the best way to tone their shoulders, arms, back and chest so that they can get shaped muscle definition, tighten sagging flesh around the upper arms and have beautiful shoulders to show off in strappy tops. It's quite hard to tone the muscles of the upper back, the top of the shoulders and the front of the upper arm without equipment, so if I had to pick one piece I would probably go with this new Flex Shaper.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Firm WAVE is a cleverly designed, curved exercise system that can be used in several ways. As an exercise professional, I rate both the treadmill and the Wave. However, a treadmill is much larger and more expensive, and cannot be used for toning the arms and shoulders - and I don't recommend trying Pilates on a moving treadmill!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A shoulder injury, however caused, can cause months (or even years) of pain and restricted movement. You may not even remember the incident that caused it!

<description><![CDATA[Shoulder bursitis occurs when one of the bursa sacs around your shoulder joint becomes inflamed and sore. Often the cause of this is overuse - constant, repetitive movements of the arm rub the tendon permanently on the shoulder bursa, which then causes the inflammation. After that, any lifting of the arm above 90 degrees or overhead causes pain and interferes with mobility. At best, shoulder bursitis is a nuisance, at worst can spell problems for the continuing career of an athlete. If your livelihood depends on you fast-bowling in cricket, then the onset of bursitis can be a disaster.]]></description>

Often it can be traced back to a stumble on a rough surface, or even a fall, but sometimes there seems to be no reason for the pain. If the pain is in the back of your lower leg, it may be cramp or insufficient warmup causing the muscle there (gastrocnemius) to go into spasm. On a cautionary note, if you have unexplained calf pain that lasts more than a few hours and does not go away when you rest, you need to see a doctor PDQ (Pretty Damn Quick!), as you may have an undiagnosed DVT or blood clot.]]></description>

I class unnatural weight loss as the initial extreme loss following starting a crash diet, or weight loss caused by a liquid diet or the use of slimming pills.    Crash dieting - cutting your daily calorie intake to less than 1100 calories - gives an immediate dramatic weight reduction, but it isn't fat that your body is shedding.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A diet that I think is full of common sense is the GI Diet. GI stands for Glycemic Index, which is a measure of how quickly foods containing carbohydrate are absorbed by the body and turned into fuel. Foods with a high GI listing are absorbed quickly and cause blood sugar levels to rise sharply, which prompts the body to release insulin to bring levels down. Insulin release is linked to fat storage, so basically, the slower food is absorbed, the better.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[So many people believe that, to lose weight fast, all you have to do is hardly eat anything. Dead simple. And, yes, you certainly will drop pounds if you skip breakfast, have soup and lettuce for lunch, and a bit of chicken with 3 carrots for dinner every night. The scales will show a dramatic drop, especially in the first week. And you'll probably feel dramatically awful!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is what many of my weight-loss clients tell me, while looking at me all wide-eyed and innocent. "I've no idea how I've put on so much weight. I must have a slow metabolism, surely. It's not my fault."

<description><![CDATA[Well I bet you've never heard of a T-Bow or TBow. Am I right? Thought I was! Actually, neither had I until a few months ago. We were at a Fitness exhibition in London when I saw this - Thing. Looked like a small humpback bridge in bright orange with a blue exercise mat fixed to the convex side. Gaps in the sides meant you could pick it up and carry it like a briefcase. I lifted one - not heavy; I could easily carry 2 and I'm not exactly built like Charles Atlas.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I've just read a study dealing with appetite-suppressing drugs, principally one called Phentermine (that's the generic name; it's branded with other names such as Fastin).

I had to read the report three times before I understood it...full of long words and clinician-speak!
But it seems to me that this drug deals with the symptoms of the problem, i.e overeating rather than the problem itself, i.e why people overeat.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ok, so what about Pilates and osteoporosis? It's more a series of "Don'ts" from the look of it. If there's any osteoporosis in the thoracic spine - the bit between the shoulderblades - over time the spine will crumple  in on itself to form what is known as "Dowager's Hump".]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I see people exercising with such bad form that it makes me want to shoot myself.
My lecturer Alan(Yoda) told me once that, when I qualified, I wouldn't see dead people, but bad posture.

People do not realise the insidious damage that stress causes to health, mental and physical, when experienced on a long-term basis.  Have a read of this. Then examine your own life and sort your stress before it sorts you!]]></description>
