Hot Tub and Relaxation with Hygienic Ways

The best way to beat the heat and enjoy a personalized quality time is to have a perfect spa at home and that spa definitely has to be the tub with the right temperature of water. This tub has to be maintained for a sensational hot water bath and the perfect remedy for stress and the routine tensions.

If you are too busy in your life and you don’t get time to use your tub just maintain it to be in the best of its condition for future use. Check how the water looks in it when you fill it, maintain the water level for yourself to be comfortable in it.

Besides that it is important to achieve the correct level of calcium in your water, the levels of which will vary depending on where you live and where your water supply comes from. Soft water tends to be low in calcium and hard water tends to be higher. Every time you top up or refill your hot tub with fresh water you need to check levels of calcium.

The ideal calcium hardness level for a hot tub is between 100 -200mg/lIf the level in your hot tub is below this it could lead to corrosion damage. If you do find the level is low, then use Hot Tubs Hardness Plus to bring it up to the correct level. If the level in your hot tub is above this it can lead to the water appearing cloudy. As a result, calcium can be deposited on the tub shell, heater element, filter cartridge element and the pipe work within. To reduce this use Hot Tub No Scale to correct the level.

All those who have a tub know very well that the use of sanitizer is most important for sanitization and hygiene purposes. Using Hot Tubs Bromine is a very effective hot tub sanitizer. It comes in tablet forms making it easy to apply to the water.The ideal Bromine level is between 3 – 6mg/l.Using Hot Tubs Chlorine is another effective hot tub sanitizer. It comes in granule forms which dissolve very quickly in the hot tubs.The ideal Chlorine level is between 3 – 5mg/l.

At the waterline, grease and rubbish can build up that creates a line around the tub which provides an ideal ground for bacteria and algae to breed. To remove these lines easily and prevent them appearing use Hot Tub Water Line Cleaning Paste daily.

It always a nice touch to add a fragrance to your hot tub water but never use bath fragrance as this will create foam which is not good for your tub. Only ever use Hot Tub Fragrances that have been designed for use in Hot Tubs. Our Online shop sells a wide range of fragrance.

Top 5 Fat Loss Tips

 

Men’s Fitness magazine recently asked me for 3 of my best fat loss secrets. Since most times the magazines just don’t have enough space to run my full tips, I thought I’d give you a more detailed explanation of my secrets here (plus a few extra bonus tips that I didn’t send to the magazine).

Secret #1 – Focus on burning carbohydrate, not fat, during your fat-loss workouts.
Sounds backwards, right? But not when you look at how I structure my workouts. Remember that Turbulence Training focuses on resistance training and interval training. Both of these use carbohydrate as the main source of energy. So it’s obvious the workout is designed to burn carbohydrates during the training session.
I have no interest in you trying to train in your “target heart rate zone” for fat burning (aka – the fat burning zone). The whole idea of a fat-burning zone is an over-simplified idea of how the body works during exercise.
Leave the inefficient fat burning zone to the mis-educated trainers in the commercial gyms (that not surprisingly, also want to sell you a heart rate monitor so you can stay in your “fat burning heart rate zone”).
If you want to get the most results in the least amount of time, focus on burning carbohydrates, not fat.
Why do my fat loss workouts focus on burning carbohydrate rather than fat? In order to burn more calories after the workout, that’s why. When you exercise with intervals and heavy resistance training, your body uses more calories in the hours after exercise than it would if you did traditional cardio and lifted lighter weights.
Alwyn Cosgrove calls this ‘afterburn’, and I call it ‘Turbulence’.
By any name it gives you the same results – maximum improvements in your body composition (helping you lose fat while gaining muscle).
Secret #2 – Use a range of repetitions in your strength training workouts.
In order to train more muscle fibers and burn more carbohydrates, I have clients use a range of repetitions within the same workout. My workouts now use 6, 8, and 12 reps per set in order to work the muscle the most effectively.
This will burn more carbohydrates and promote as much muscle growth as possible when you are keeping the calories low.
Secret #3 – Use the stationary cycle for interval training.
I choose the stationary bike for intervals whenever possible because cycling against a resistance can help maintain muscle mass.
Cycling against a resistance also allows you to perform a large amount of mechanical work, and that is a key determinant of the Turbulence in my training.
But please note: I don’t use low-intensity, fast pedaling ‘spinning’ intervals as I’m convinced that the hard, resistance based intervals are more effective for fat loss. My clients only cycle against a strong resistance in their intervals.
I really like the bike, but there are many other ways to do intervals. Use what works for you, but if you are at a plateau, try the bike.
Secret #4 – Increase meal frequency
Okay, so this isn’t really a secret to anyone that has read about fat loss. But a 2005 study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that eating 6 times per day was associated with eating fewer calories per day, lowering cholesterol levels, and lowering post-meal insulin levels.
Combine an increased meal frequency with an increased protein and fiber intake, and you’ll see your body composition improve rapidly.
If you need more nutrition help, then you’ll love the new Turbulence Training Nutrition Guide for Men & Women – written by Dr. Chris Mohr, Ph.D.
See below for more details…
Secret #5 – My Synergistic Turbulence Training Workouts
My Turbulence Training Fat Loss workouts are fast becoming the most effective way to burn fat, build muscle, and get lean. The synergistic strength training-interval training workouts are efficient and effective – getting you in and out of the gym in under an hour.
Here are some tips that you can use for an advanced training phase
- use these tips for 2 weeks then return to your normal training
schedule:
a) Add 10 seconds to each interval but maintain the intensity
b) Add in some bodyweight circuits (10-20 minutes per day) done in the morning or evening (if you do your regular workout in the AM, do your bodyweight circuits after dinner; otherwise, do the bw circuits first thing in the AM, and then do your regular workout at lunch or later in the afternoon or evening)
If you are advanced, you can use squats, pushups, and bodyweight rows for your circuit.
If you are a beginner, you could use lying hip extensions, modified pushups, and stick-ups.
c) Add an extra set to each exercise in the first superset you do in each workout.
Again, use these three tips for an advanced fat loss period of two weeks, then return to a normal training schedule.
But always stick to the best fat loss nutrition plan possible.
If you have any other questions, just let me know.

7-Day Motivational Weight Loss Guide

 

Fat loss is hard. And once in a while, everyone loses their

motivation for diet and exercise. So that’s why I’m bringing you 7 tips to help you lose more fat in less time over this upcoming
week.
(If you are a complete beginner, please refer to the 21-day
quickstart guide in the Turbulence Training manual for more details on how to develop key healthy habits during the essential start-up phase of your fat loss program.)
If you’re a M-F, 9-5 employee, you know that Saturday or Sunday has to be your day to hit the grocery store and get fresh meat and produce to prepare your meals for the next week.
I’m a big fan of picking up some fresh salmon fillets and asparagus for Sunday dinner. Chicken breasts can be cooked in bunches for freezing and then used over the week as easy lunchtime protein sources. Fruits and vegetables are washed and prepared for cooking or snacking, and almonds, pecans, walnuts, and organic beef jerky are packed into travel bags for when I’m on the go.
Prepare and succeed. It’s that easy.
So print this out, put it on your fridge, and let it guide you to
your fat loss goals, while keeping your workouts fun and motivating.
Now here we go with our day-by-day guide…
MONDAY
On Monday, your motivation will be high to have a great Turbulence Training Workout.
Plan to set a personal record in your workout today. If you are a
beginner, that might mean using a higher level on the cardio
machine for 1-2 minutes, or doing 2-3 extra pushups per set. For the advanced fat loss program, it might mean using 2.5 more pounds per dumbbell in your split squats, or extending your intervals by 5 seconds per sprint.
By continuously aiming to achieve a personal best in your workouts, you will ensure that you are pushing your body to adapt – to change for the better.
Now you don’t have to set a record on every set for every exercise. Just pick one record that you want to break each workout. Aim for constant improvement.
TUESDAY
This will be an off-day from your Turbulence Training schedule, but you should still get 30 minutes of activity. Make it as fun as
possible. Take the dog for a walk, play your favorite sport, or
chase your kids.
Even walking for 30 minutes is great. It will help you recover from Monday’s workout and simply improves your overall health. If you’re looking for an advanced fat loss option, use a bodyweight circuit to boost your metabolism.
Also, I want you to make a big nutrition change on this day and
eliminate all sources of trans-fatty acids from your diet.
Read your food labels, and don’t eat anything that contains
hydrogenated oils. Also, be sure to look at the breakdown of fats – if the total fat content is greater than the sum of the saturated
and unsaturated fat contents, then the product contains trans-fats.
Remember that labels are sneaky!
A label can boast “0g Trans Fat” if there is less than 0.5g of
Trans-fats per serving. But if there are several servings in a bag, and you eat the whole bag…guess what? You could have eaten 2-3 grams of trans-fats!
And trans-fats will kill ya. As Dr. Bruce Holub from the University of Guelph says, “there is no safe level of the fats and food producers should cease and desist the industrial production of trans fats in the country.”
WEDNESDAY
Perform your regularly schedule strength and interval training
workout. And if you need to, purchase a new cooking
appliance, such as a grill or steamer to help you prepare healthy,
nutritious, low-fat protein sources or high-fiber, nutrient rich
vegetables in a convenient manner.
Healthy food preparation is a SMALL effort for a LARGE reward.
THURSDAY
30 minutes of activity, anyway that you can get it. And then at
dinner, try a new source of lean protein, such as salmon, bison, or ostrich (or switch back to lean, red meat if you’re bored of
chowing down on chicken).
FRIDAY
Have another great strength and interval workout. Since this is
your Turbulence Training workout of the week…have fun and reward yourself with a superset of your 2 favorite exercises. It’s a perfect time to add some extra work for your arms and abs, if you love training those muscle groups. Just do something you really like. You’ve earned it. Training should be fun AND effective.
SATURDAY
30 minutes of activity. It’s the weekend, find something fun to do with a friend. On weekends, I try and get into the gym with an old friend and amaze them with several bodyweight exercises that they have never seen before – such as Spiderman Pushups, Inverted Rows, and single-leg squats.
Then check-in with your social support group (in-person or on the Internet) to talk about the ups and downs you went through this week. Share recipes, tips and tricks to turning aside temptations, and motivate each other to stay strong for another 7-days of fat-burning with the TT lifestyle.
SUNDAY
Get in another 30 minutes of exercise nice and early to start your day. Then plan your shopping list, head on to the grocery store or even better a fresh, open market and get your weekly produce and lean protein sources.
Make sure to include 1 new vegetable and 1 new source of lean
protein in your purchases.
One big step everyday towards a better body!
Another week and another pound or two of fat should be hitting the road. Keep up the great work!

You Know ????? How to Learn the Golden Rules of Dressing

 

While dressing up there are a number of things that need to be kept in mind in order to avoid being overdressed, or worse, being underdressed. All of these pointers are based on solely one purpose; that what you wear and how you wear it speaks volumes for your personality and your outlook. So next time you are thinking of investing a few thousands into your wardrobe, first take a look at some of these pointers to spare yourself the embarrassment of putting up a wrong dress for yourself.

The Greek philosopher Epictetus once said that ‘know first who you are and then adorn yourself accordingly.’ This, therefore, becomes the first rule of dressing. Know your body type. Know what suits you and what not. Don’t just follow the fad and invest in whatever the world is wearing; see what will suit your body type and then adorn it. True style is definitely about not letting the clothes wear you but about you wearing and walking and talking the clothes.

Wearing the right outfit at the right time is as essential as being in the right place at the right time. Make sure that you dress according to the time of the day, season or occasion. If you are in for a hot summer day out for some chores, then lawn or cotton should be the preferable choice of garment. If it’s a formal function that you have to attend but during the summers, chiffon is a safer option. If you are having a night out during winters then linen or khaddar is the safest option. Therefore, explore your avenues. Know your garments.

Other than being appropriate in your choice of garment, you have to be considerate about your choice of color too. Not every color is made for every skin tone. If you have a fair complexion, then medium tones of green and blue are good for you. If the complexion is dark, it can further be enhanced by pastel colors such as aqua, pink or light yellow. Young girls should experiment with their looks to the extent and should adorn bright colors. On the other hand, slightly older ladies should choose the color according to their age and settle for darker shades of maroon or brown.

The most important aspect, however, of dressing up is being comfortable in your own skin. You need to be composed and confident with the dress that you are wearing. With the unpredictable weather that Pakistan ha every other day, what with scorching heat during the summers and moderate cold during the winters, cotton is the safest option for the fabric of a dress.

Following the fashion is not a crime. But you need to make sure that you are not overdoing it by revealing too much or showing what should not be shown. People tend to get carried away while following the latest fads and don’t consider the fact that something should be left to the imagination too. Therefore, be fashionable, but don’t overdo it. Wear less revealing garments instead of wearing plunging necklines and revealing hemlines.

Last but not least, it all comes down to elegance. The fact to be remembered is that elegance is a state of the mind. No dress can make you feel royal or elegant unless you yourself are not confident about it. So find a killer hairstyle to go with your dress, accessorize accordingly and you are all set to flaunt.
