Your Body Wants To Fight The Flu
Your Body Wants To Fight The Flu
The body’s immune system is our first line of defense against attacks from germs, bacteria, and viral agents like the flu. The immune system detects these harmful invaders and begins the process of isolating and destroying them. But the immune system only works if it has the fuel that it needs. You see, the immune system is called a “system” because it is comprised of various organs and sub…

Fitness Watches
Fitness watches are lightweight, compact, and informative--everything you want in an exercise companion! 
They are intended to be convenient assistants in your workout by telling you your heart rate zone, for instance, and letting you know when you leave it. As guides, they are often ECG-accurate and give continuous readings so you don't have to stop to check your progress.
Online companies that offer major brand fitness watches have organized them into several categories, such as manufacturer, activity, and level. 
You can go right to the grouping that is of interest to you. If, for example, you know you want to examine Polar heart rate monitors, you can click on this manufacturer to view all its products.
youtube
Some you may have heard of, some may be unfamiliar to you unless you are active in athletics and sports in general. All make excellent watches for many different activities.
When you go online, you can also check on products designed for specific kinds of exercise: walking, running, cycling, weight management, conditioning, and cardio. 
There is some overlapping, as many watches come loaded with so many features, but you will find some that are geared for a particular activity. 
If you want to go straight to your level of fitness, watches are also divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
Freestyle watches are products of a company built up by two surfers in 1981 who were unable to find sport watches that could take the day-in-and-day-out thrashing of their beach lifestyle. 
youtube
The Shark Classic is depth-rated at 330 feet, as are many of Freestyle's fitness watches. Its stainless steel caseback and buckle are designed for strength and water/corrosion resistance. It has a night vision LCD backlight, an alarm and a chronograph. 
The stopwatch comes with split function. Colors are white/gray, black/black, white/blue, navy/black, black/silver, and black/khaki.
In the Girlstyle Series, the Rebel comes in camel and black with wide leather cuffs, and is depth-rated at 165 feet. Both this model and others in this series have stainless steel casebacks. The Smooth has a one-way, ratcheted timing bezel, and is depth-rated at 330 feet.
Although many of the watches have stopwatch functions, the company does make stopwatches. The Sidekick stopwatch has split function, a five-lap memory, is water resistant, and has an alarm.
 A more intricate watch is the Starter, which is available in blue, black, or grey. As one of the multi-function Freestyle watches, the Starter has split function, a 30-lap memory, gives dual time, and has an alarm function, as well as a Night Vision display.
youtube
Sportline and other companies still make a mechanical stop watch, but more frequently, new features have been added to make the old-fashioned stop watch a modern instrument. 
The Sportline Sport Timer 220, for instance, is compact, watertight to 100 feet, and records one/two fast finishes.
Even the Freestyle Starter has a 30-lap memory, split function, is water resistant, and has a Night Vision display. 
Accusplit's Survivor II is loaded with features, including cumulative split, split release action, gives date and day of the week, and is water resistant to 30 feet.
 With a five-year warranty and a 1.5-year battery, you know this model is durable.
youtube
Digital stop watches are one of the most versatile fitness accessories. They are used for training athletes and race horses to track performance and improvement. 
Sophisticated chronographs are used in the Olympic Games and other competitive athletic events. On a more personal level, digital stop watches measure track and field events from elementary school on up.
With a model such as the Sportline Alpha Sport 410, many functions means versatility in one instrument for all kinds of events, meets, and competitions. 
This unit has an extra large display so readings are immediate regardless of lighting conditions.

Do You Know Personal Trainer Software
here are two different types of personal trainer software. 
First, there is software for professional fitness trainers that provides marketing tips on growing their business into a rock-solid lucrative venture. 
These software programs are aimed at the individual who already has the fitness expertise and credentials, but may be lacking in the fitness marketing department.
Another bonus to using personal trainer software is that it can be infinitely less expensive than hiring a consulting firm to help you with your marketing strategies. 
youtube
Going that route can set you back hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. More than likely you don't have that kind of money to invest if you are looking for help to grow your business and increase your revenue in the first place.
 The other type of personal trainer software is for individuals looking to get fit. This type of software contains exercise tips, nutrition advice, and basic support and motivation. 
youtube
We are a fitness-driven society, even though that can be difficult to tell by the large numbers of obese Americans we have. 
But this obesity epidemic has driven many trainers to find alternative ways of helping their clients. With personal trainer videos, CDs, and computer software, getting in shape is an accessible goal for everyone.

Customize Your Bodybuilding Training Program
A bodybuilding training program will teach you about resistance training, cardiovascular exercise and eating to build muscle. 
A good program does not just focus on weight training, but on all of the components of a healthy fitness plan. 
If your goal is to build some serious muscles, you will probably take a slightly different approach than you would if you just wanted to lose fat and tone up your body.
youtube
In terms of natural bodybuilding, you will want to focus your efforts on resistance training, hitting the gym for a weight training workout 3-5 times per week, at 30-40 minutes per session. 
Your muscles grow the most during the rest and recovery stage, so taking time off between sessions is vitally important.
Whether you are a man or woman, you probably want to have a toned body. Men often prefer the look of big biceps and ripped abs, while women opt for a softer, more feminine look. 
youtube
Most women don't have to worry about bulking up, because it just is not biologically possible to do so. 
However, women can still tone up significantly through a good bodybuilding training program that leaves them toned and lean.
Men, on the other hand, will bulk up with consistent weight training. If you are just starting out with a resistance training program, consult a certified personal trainer either in person or online to get some expert advice on how to proceed.

Cardiosport Fitness Information
Cardiosport is a specialist in heart rate monitors, and it shows in the range of their products. 
Standard features include separate heart rate and stopwatch functions, protective casings on the fitness watches, and a Contour Lite strap that is designed for comfort and custom fit. 
A convenient feature is that the battery can be changed by the user, so down time is reduced.
This company is committed to making the best products and dispensing the latest information on exercise. 
Before starting an exercise program, all professionals in the health and fitness field advocate determining your fitness level and your health condition. 
youtube
Once the fitness level is set, you must ascertain your maximum heart rate. There are two ways to do this--a treadmill test, or with a formula.
Generally, if you are over 35, overweight, have any health problems, or have a family history of heart disease, you should get cleared by your physician or cardiologist. 
For this purpose, a treadmill test is often given to see how your heart responds to the stress of exercise. 
Once it has been determined that you do not show any signs of heart problems, your fitness level can be pinpointed and your fitness program set up with Cardiosport heart monitors.
There is a formula that is commonly used to establish your maximum heart rate. It is simple. For sedentary, beginning exercisers, subtract your age from 220. 
The result is the maximum heart rate you should not exceed during exercise, which can be monitored by Cardiosport products.

A Workout Anyone Can Do
Yahoo! asked readers and contributors to share their progress on health-related New Year's resolutions for 2021. Here is one perspective.
My resolution was to get back on a regular workout routine. Now, it's been over a year since I really worked out, and I'm overweight, out of shape and diabetic. 
It's vital to my well-being to exercise, so I decided to walk on my treadmill for just 15 minutes a day. And to make it even easier to succeed, I broke it down into 5-minute increments.
youtube
Anyone can do that, right? A wimpy sort of workout maybe, but better to do something than nothing. 
So far I'm right about that. I've lost a couple of pounds and have been able to cut back on my insulin, and I'm only three weeks in.

Every major brand has multi-function heart rate monitors that also give instantaneous updates, such as time spent in your heart zone. 
Oregon Scientific products include the HR-102, a model that measures heart rate from 30-240 beats-per-minute.
The Acumen TZ MAX 100 is an amazing device that has a PC interface so you can download exercise information as simple graphs to store and retrieve.
Polar produces its own running computer in the S625X, which gives accurate heart rate, running pace and distance information on the wrist receiver. 
youtube
Timex running heart monitors include the Bodylink 59551 that uses the latest technology to unify the output of up to four devices worn on your body to transmit performance information. Real-time workout feedback is integrated by the Ironman Triathlon Bodylink performance monitor.

Benefits of an Inversion Table
Do inversion tables really work?
An Inversion table can help you to stretch and relax the back, and to heal back or joint problems. Inversion therapy dates back to 400 B.C. when Hippocrates, Father of Medicine, put together an inversion system for a patient. 
Since the early 1980s, Inversion therapy has been widely accepted as a tool for healing back pain.
