Goodbye, ugly ordinary dumbbells. Hello, sexy impractical and so freaking cool dumbbells. I would like to take you to the gym, but I’ll probably only see you at the MOMA.

LIFT & LOWER

Jun 25, 2009

Medical researchers find that lifting weights is a healthy way to lower blood pressure.  Get acquainted with the free weight section of your gym because it only takes a few low-intensity resistance exercises to steer clear of heart disease. Here’s how it works…

You pick up 2 dumb bells.

You do a set of bicep curls and watch your muscles bulge.

You groan because that means you’re hardcore.

You feel your heart rate and blood pressure rise with each curl.

<Cue CSI Miami forensic zoom technology>

Your blood vessels are expanding.

Your heart is pumping blood at a rate it’s never pumped before.

Stronger by Kanye West comes on…

Your heart is in the zone and your blood pressure is going down.

You reach your arm around you and pat yourself on the back.

Well done!

The best way to master challenging exercises is to practice in front of a mirror

Jun 24, 2009

The best way to master challenging exercises is to practice in front of a mirror. Get over the paranoia of appearing vain and watch your form. Make sure everything is correct and if you’re struggling, evaluate your weakness. Look at everything—hand, shoulder, foot, leg, and arm placement. Jumping rope is definitely one exercise you won’t make headway on unless you get your form right. Once you’re comfortable, move away from the mirror and test your coordination.
