Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 07-Sep-2009

The game of Tennis came into existence several thousand years ago. Tennis is a sport played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). A strung racquet is used to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net into the opponent's court.

Tennis

History: The game was first created by European monks to be played for entertainment purposes during religious ceremonies. Initially the ball was hit with the hand. Then leather glove came into existence. Later on for effective hitting and serving of the ball an adaptive handle was used. Thus, racquet came into existence. After the evolution of the racket, the tennis balls also underwent frequent alterations. The first tennis ball was wooden. It gave way to a bouncier, leather ball filled with cellulose material. With time game became famous in France especially among royal family. Between 16th and 18th centuries, the game called ' Jeu de paumme' - the game of the palm was a highly regarded by kings and noblemen.  In 1874, Major Walter Wingfield acquired the patent rights for the equipments and rules for the game which bore close resemblance to the modern tennis. First tennis courts emerged in the United States in the same year. The game slowly extended to different parts of the world like Russia, Canada, China and India.

Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 27-Aug-2009

In the 17th century, fencing changed from a crucial self-defense technique to a widely practiced martial art that had fans watching the sport in an arena. Fencing is one of the few sports to have acknowledged professionals prior to the 1980s. Fencing was an Olympic sport for the first time in 1896.

Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 21-Jul-2009

Get ready to hit the pool and beaches this summer! Winter has already said good bye and summer is just about to approach with lots of fun and relaxation.  Well for some of us, because for others like me we need to think abut how we are going to look good (or at least Ok) in a bathing suit.  Winter has left many of us lethargic, due to those days and nights of extra eating. But, as we know summer is all about beaches and poosl, and that's synonymous to shorts, small tops, and bikinis. So lets get into shape and the only way is through hard work. Start a workout and diet plan today and lose those extra pounds that are creating a barrier in the path of your enjoyment.

Let's focus on some of the easy workouts that can help you lose those extra pounds:

Pilates is a low impact workout that anyone can do and here are some simple exercises you can do at home.

The hundred, this is a start up exercise:

  1. Bring your legs to 'table top,' which immediately pushes on your core.
  2. Peel your head, neck and shoulders up and raise your arms next to you about hip height.
  3. Pump your arms up and down, inhaling for five counts and then exhaling for five counts for a series of one hundred pumps in total.

Roll up:

  1.  Lay flat on your back with your knees pulled in and feet on the floor.
  2. Begin a series of roll ups.
  3. Inhale, then exhale as you lift your head up over your chest, your chest and mid section up off the floor, and sit up nice and tall with your arms stretched out in front of you the entire time.
  4. Inhale again, and then exhale as you pull your tummy in and slowly lie back down on your back, rolling down one vertebra at a time until your head is resting on the floor and your arms are back at your side.
  5. Do this five to six times. You may have to use your hands to help pull yourself up the first few times, but when you become a pro there is no stopping you.

Get your kids to exercise
Pump it1 Dump it0      Posted on: 06-Apr-2009

In the era of Internet, television and video games, it's really difficult to convince kids do exercise. Nowadays children have so many fun and interesting things to do indoors, that they are hardly ready to go out and workout. Exercise is extremely important as a child grows into an adult. The less exercise your child experiences, the less likely they will exercise when they get older. By following some tips you can motivate your children and get them moving!

kids and exercise
  • You need to set the rules in advance. Make a deal with them: for every half hour they surf the web or watch TV, they have to do half an hour of something physical. Physical doesn't have to be exercise per se. Your child can add physical activity throughout the day in a number of ways.

Sweat-Free Exercise
Pump it2 Dump it0      Posted on: 01-Apr-2009

In association with:

Sure Maximum Protection

Those of you who refrain from throwing your hands in the air and waving them like you just don't care, for fear of unsightly sweat stains and body odour, might be pleased to know that there are a handful of solutions on the horizon!

Whilst investing in a great deodorant is half the battle, the other is to ensure you are wearing the right gear.  You cannot simply turn up in a baggy old t-shirt and think your exercise experience will be maximised to its full potential. Thankfully, several of the major sports brands have recognised that if you are slogging it out at the gym preparing to train for your first or hundredth marathon, you are more productive when you feel fresh.

The Puma Advanced collection offers lightweight, highly functioning compression technology, for ultimate support and comfort, in addition to UV protection. The best bit, which makes even the laziest among us tempted to partake in a little cardio, is that the wicking system rapidly moves moisture away from the skin and optimises body temperature. The Short Sleeve Black Top costs £30 and the Short Black Tights costs £25, making this a worthwhile investment for any amateur or professional sportsperson. For more information on products and stockists visit www.puma.com or telephone 0845 123 7862.

Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 25-Feb-2009

Most of us have faced minor back problems at one time or another. For example, we often experience an increase in lower back pain when bending, walking, sitting, or standing too long in one position. Back pain is extremely common - about eight in 10 people in the UK are affected at some time in their lives. To begin on the positive side, patients must understand that most episodes of back pain resolve, and usually within a few weeks. Unfortunately, back pain can be among the most difficult and frustrating problems for patients and their doctors. Back pain can affect anyone at any age, but it's most common in people between the ages of 35 and 55.

  • Stand, sit or bend down for long periods
  • Muscle strains are the most common cause of low back pain.

Drinking Water while your eating is a Big No No!
Pump it0 Dump it1      Posted on: 01-Feb-2009

It's very common that people drink water between their meals but research has said that a small amount of liquid during meals should be okay but drinking a lot of water, juice, or soda can cause digestion problems. Drinking water and other fluids can cause dilution of stomach acids and digestive enzymes, making them less effective at breaking down food. Whenever possible, it is best to drink fluids before and two hours after meals as this helps uptake of nutrients and move bowels. Reducing the amount of salt and spices added to foods is helpful in reducing the need to drink fluids with meals.

drinking while eating

Effects of Drinking water during meal:

  • Liquids taken during meals can dilute digestive enzymes and stomach acids and these are essential to break down the food and absorb nutrients. As it's harder to break down the food, the stomach may produce more acids, which could result in heartburn or acid reflux. This could possible put more pressure on the small intestines as well because the food is passed along from the stomach without being broken enough.
