Extreme Splurge Gift Ideas: Nautilus Commercial Series Elliptical Trainer

admin — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 10:35:48 +0000

While some people are getting ready for the holidays, doing the usual yule-tide activities such as cookie making, gorging themselves with sweets and extremely caloric snacks and desserts, others have something else in mind. To them the holidays mean resist and avoid all the fatty traps that one easily falls for, and instead, these people keep their reserve and make their seasons greetings a healthy and active time of year. That’s willpower, is all I gotta say.

I respect that attitude but I will always enjoy the little goodies, chocolates, cakes and snacks that come with the Christmas spirit. It’s impossible for me to ignore and pretend it isn’t there. Why do that? I will never pretend those luscious chocolates and cakes don’t exist; I accept them with open arms. That being said, I hate gaining a huge amount of weight because of my own gluttony. Sometimes, it’s unavoidable but I DO have some willpower and I like to keep in (relative) shape.

If a balance is maintained, meaning, indulging in fattening foods mixed with exercise and healthful meals, I believe that everyone can win with this equation. A common problem of participating in activities during the winter, is winter! It’s snowing or plain miserable outside, not very inspiring for a workout. It makes it even difficult to get out to go to the gym in horrible weather. Where is this all leading?

Having a Nautilus Commercial Series Elliptical Trainer at home in your basement or extra room of your house is a perfect solution to keeping fit not just during the winter but also all year long but particularly during the holiday months where eating is practically done all day long, at least where I come from! Whether they’re treats brought into the office or sent there by clients or the snowflake cookies and fudge sitting around the house, well, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Temptation is hard to resist. Face it.

So wouldn’t it be ideal to have the Nautilus Elliptical Trainer so you can workout at home? Maybe you know the person who would absolutely love (and need) this. And the whole family can use this, too. I think it’s a wonderful gift albeit extravagant. Sure, some people would rather have a $6,000 necklace or something luxurious and beautiful, but the Nautilus Commercial Series Elliptical Trainer is useful and the bodies of those who are going to benefit from it, will be beautiful. Want it for yourself? Then get it!

How many blenders have you gone through? If your answer is more than 1, you’ve been ripped off not to mention that you probably got cheap polycarbonate (plastic) ones. Don’t do that! My recommendation is to get a reliable, durable and performing blender that will last a lifetime. Designed for the commercial environment, the robust Kitchenaid KTA-KPCB148SPM Pro Line Bar Blender design handles job after job with outstanding results. Thoroughly blends smoothies and frozen drinks, and purees sauces and soups in less than 20 seconds. Jar collar, blade assembly, and seals are built into jar for strength, durability, and water-tight performance. The patented one-piece blade has extra thick stainless steel blade design with sharpened edges and high blade angles for extreme performance and long life. The 48 oz stainless-steel jar is dishwasher-safe.

Ok. It’s expensive but it is one of the best blenders you will ever have and it’s made to last.

Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You To Know About

admin — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 11:14:36 +0000

Kevin Trudeau blows the lid off a nest of deception and double standards concerning general and individual health in this new book, “Natural Cures ‘They’ Don’t Want You To Know About.” Kevin has risked government prosecution to bring you the full story of an intricate conspiracy.

From the retail supermarket outlets of huge, publicly traded corporations comes processed, manipulated, engineered “food products” – produced by other wings of the same corporation. These artificial, toxic treats are then sold with the blessings of the Federal Trade Commission and Food and Drug Administration – government organizations charged with safeguarding the public good – laying the foundations for future disease and chronic ill-health for the consumer, and a guaranteed source of revenue for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors.

Kevin reveals the shocking truth of how drugs – which are being advertised directly to the consumer, pushing their use to an all-time high – are actually the cause of illness and disease climbing to near epidemic levels.

And, though it sounds dire, Kevin offers a light in the darkness and directs the reader to scores and scores of alternative therapies, medical practices, philosophies and – most importantly – potential cures that help your body regain its natural state of health and vibrancy.

So follow Kevin on an amazing journey through the behind-the-scenes world of corporate sponsored “nutrition” and “health,” and learn about “Natural Cures ‘THEY’ Don’t Want You To Know About.”

Winter season is upon and and that means one thing (for some of you): skiing! This year ski in style

Install a Sauna in Your Home

admin — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:17:33 +0000

Saunas were invented in Scandinavia and were originally designed to fulfill a few purposes: 1) Relaxation. There’s nothing better than to “chill” so to speak in a sauna to loosen up those tightened, nerve-wracked muscles; 2) Community – Hanging out together in a sauna brings people closer together, and simply allows them to spend time together. 3) Sweat. Sweating releases toxins from your body through your skin and you may not realize it but your body will thank you profusely. Toxins should never stay in the body too long and saunas are a great way to eliminate them. 3) This also invigorates the skin, and you will appear much younger than you are.

In general, you remove poisons your body, and at the same time, you get your body to unwind, which most people absolutely need. Otherwise, you end up with complicated health issues and well, you just don’t need to deal with that if you have a choice, do you?

About the Sauna
Detoxify, speed up the healing process, and purify the skin in the comfort of your own home with the Ironman Carbon Tech two-person sauna. Made of elegant hemlock, the Carbon Tech distributes heat far more evenly than most ceramic units, with a warmup time that’s roughly twice as fast as traditional units (15 to 20 minutes vs. 35 to 40 minutes). The sauna also requires less energy than ceramic saunas, with an ultra-thin heating unit that takes up a minimum of space without sacrificing temperature (the sauna reaches a maximum of 140 degrees F). And because of the even heat distribution and lack of hot spots, users can sit in the sauna for longer periods without burning. Now you can nourish your skin, cleanse your immune system, and relieve nasal congestion without driving to the gym or visiting a spa.

Other details include a double-thick (8 mm) tempered glass door that lets in outside light, an interior light, and a control panel for the built-in CD player and AM/FM tuner. The Carbon Tech, which comfortably seats up to two people, measures 47 by 41 by 75 inches.
