Here is a list of 20 exercises you can do right in your own home for a great whole body conditioning and fat loss workout.

Pick one exercise from each group and do them all back to back for a mini circuit of 3 exercises. Do each exercise for a timed interval of 10 seconds for a total of 30 seconds per mini circuit.

As you get better at them work up to doing each exercise for 20 seconds for a total of 60 seconds per mini circuit.

Take 30-60 seconds rest between mini circuits.

For beginners do a total of 3 mini circuits to start. Working up to 4 or 5 as you get better at them.

What is Hypertufa?

Hypertufa (pronounced hyper-toofa) is a man-made stone made from various aggregates bonded together with Portland cement. It's perfect for making long lasting garden ornaments such as pots, troughs, bird baths, rocks, stepping stones or even totem poles.

It looks like rock, can be cast into almost any shape, is environmentally friendly, very lightweight and can withstand harsh weather conditions. It is also fairly easy and fun to make.

The hypertufa creations are lighter in weight than concrete and have an ancient look about them, as if they had been sitting outside for the past couple of centuries. They sustain the growth of surface mosses and lichens further adding to their natural appeal and are very plant friendly. They have porous walls that act as a reservoir for water which the plants can use during dry spells. Porous walls also allow for easy passage of air to the root systems.

It can withstand harsh winters, at least down to -30C, so no need to bring them in for the winter. Unless off course you are living in Siberia.

Hypertufa was created to be used as an inexpensive replacement for the natural volcanic rock called Tufa. Tufa was used for many things - it was hollowed out and carved unto coffins, sinks, bath tubs, animal troughs and used for planters by English gardeners. Natural tufa rock was quite popular among gardeners in England before it became hard to find.

This lead to its development. It comes from the Latin word hyper (over, excessively) and tufus (volcanic rock that is porous and crumbly). When hyper and tufa are put together we get "something more than tufa" or "fake tufa rock".

So what makes Hypertufa better for your garden than other planting containers and decorations?

Here are some answers:

  • Lighter than concrete
  • Won't crack like plastic, clay and ceramic
  • Can withstand harsh weather conditions (down to -30C)
  • Last for many years
  • Retains moisture, so plants thrive even with less frequent watering
  • Drains well
  • Looks great
  • Plants love them
  • You can make them at home and have fun while you are at it!

To put it simple - Hypertufa Rocks!

Business Golf

* Prospective customers
* Clients
* Referrals
* Recruiting key employees
* Developing businesses partners, vendors, suppliers, etc

Business encourages golf as a natural side for networking and to develop relationships. corporate America spends billions of dollars and thousands of hours on business golf as it's no.1 pastime today. I've heard about many big business deals done at the golfing range and I don't see that changing anytime soon. It's a sport that's enjoyed all over the world and it's definitely not a cheap sport to get into. You got your clubs and your entry fee which could cost you the amount of a new car depending on where you play. It's not a sport for the poor and that is probably the appeal for business men or women because one must be serious about the game if they want to get anywhere.

Be on your best behavior when playing with a client. Business golf can be a very lucrative initiative for companies today, but it can also wreck a big deal if not handled properly. Your attitude on the golf course and your reaction to how you are playing may cause a client to lose respect for you, and that may keep you from closing a deal. Dont force the business discussion. You dont want to start talking shop before you tee off the first hole. Take some time to get to know your client, enjoy being on the golf course and discuss topics aside from business. There is a general rule that it is safe to talk about business between the fifth and 15th holes.

The most important thing to realize is that people will remember how enjoyable it was to play golf with you; no one will remember what score you shot.

I was an engineer in silicon valley for 6 years before getting laid off just recently. After getting a nice severance package, I decided to take the time and money and travel the world. After that experience of a lifetime, I have come back to the business world, but no longer working to build someone else's business, but my own by forming my own corporation.

Have You Got The Balls For The Job?

You are hitting the golf ball further than you ever have, or you will be if you are playing with the correct driver loft and golf ball for your swing. Frankly, this is a good thing. I want to see us all enjoying our golf more.

In 1995 on the pga tour, the average driving distance was 265 yards, with big hitters like John Daly still not averaging past 300 yards. Now the tour average is 290 yards and the big hitters are topping 320 yards on AVERAGE.

While the big headed, high MOI, hot COR 460cc geometric Drivers grab all the attention, the golf ball and the white-coated engineers concerned with ball flight, launch angles and spin rates dont seem to get enough publicity.

But pga tour stats are one thing. Think about your game. Do you boom the driver further today than you did in 1997 or 2000? Even several years older, you should.

And, given that you dont have to buy new equipment to achieve some of the improvements, and just thinking about your golf ball offers you the chance of extra yards, shorter approach shots and more fun; I cant help thinking that I should be talking to more of you about your golf balls.

Standing on the Tee this weekend, look at your golf ball and think about it.

The srixon AD333 was designed with a very specific dimple layout to improve aerodynamics and increase the hang time of the golf ball.
