Shapely Secrets 7 Secrets Revealed Right Here!

Post author By Hugh Ellis
Post date May 5, 2020

You no longer need to purchase the Shapely Secrets DVDs to find out what Greer Childers’ Shapely Secrets seven secrets to weight loss are – I have them right here. The Shapely Secrets infomercial shows 61 year old Greer Childers, the developer of Shapely Secrets, and she looks pretty good.

To learn what the seven secrets to a shapely, “thin” body are, the viewer must purchase the Shapely Secrets program. Not any more! Here are the seven secrets to Greer Childers’ Shapely Secrets program:

Greer Childers Shapely Secret #1 –

“Do It Write!” Keep a journal of your progress daily. Include in the journal your weekly goals. And every week, measure yourself with a tape measure and keep track of the numbers in the journal.

Greer Childers Shapely Secret #2 –

“The Non-Counting Method” of counting calories. The program literally says, “Know your daily calorie burn.” The most accurate way to do this is with an oxygen consumption test; chain health clubs have the gadget to do this, but it’s not free.

However, it’s a very simple test; as a personal trainer, I’ve given it to many clients. The next part of the non-counting method is “exercise your sixth sense calorie awareness.” Then there’s eat fewer calories than you burn off every day.

Greer Childers Shapely Secret #3 –

“Filling Up Without Filling Out.” Load up on low-calorie foods. Include lean protein like fish and chicken with meals and snacking. Include foods with high fiber. Dump the refined carbohydrate foods and replace with complex, healthy carbohydrate foods.

Greer Childers Shapely Secret #4 –

“Watering the Fire.” Drink 64 ounces of water every day. Use water to hasten daily calorie burn. Have water with all of your meals.

Greer Childers Shapely Secret #5 –

“Out of Sight.” Keep tempting foods out of view. This includes out of your shopping cart, off your plate, and out of your mouth.

Greer Childers Shapely Secret #6 –

“Rev It Up.” Build muscle to increase daily rate of calorie expenditure. Do the Greer Childers’ 7 minute workout every day. Get moving more in day to day living.

Greer Childers Shapely Secret #7 –

“Your Secret Buddy System.” Enlist the support of three people for your goals. Keep them updated on your success. Find a buddy to do the Greer Childers program with.

And there you have Greer Childers’ seven secrets that her 30-minute infomercials generously speak of. As you can see, there is nothing among these items that you already didn’t know, except maybe that water can be used to increase daily calorie burn rate.

But only if the water is chilled. Chilled water forces the body to work harder because the body must “warm up” the water. This requires more energy than if the water didn’t have to be warmed up. With enough water drinking, this can add up to several to 10 pounds lost in one year.

Elderly at Risk of Supplement-Prescription Drug Interactions

Post author By Hugh Ellis
Post date April 21, 2020

The popularity of herbal supplements is growing fast across all age groups. Elderly patients often take herbal remedies to improve heart health, reduce joint pain or improve sleep. Not all herbal supplements are safe for use by elderly patients when prescription medications are required for improved health. Some interactions between herbal supplements and prescription medications can be deadly.

Herbal laxatives may reduce absorption of prescription medications. When bowel movements go awry, many elderly people choose to take herbal colon cleansers or laxatives to improve regularity. The most common over-the-counter treatment for constipation is fiber, sold under the brand names Metamucil, Benefiber, Fibercon and other brand names. Herbal laxatives are also available in stimulant varieties.

Stimulant laxatives cause the muscles of the bowel to contract, forcing waste to move through the intestine faster. Both stimulant and non-stimulant herbal laxatives decrease the time waste spends in the intestine and thus, decrease the time prescription medications have to absorb through intestinal walls.

To avoid the interaction between fiber, laxatives and prescription medications, elderly must take the prescription medications at least one hour before or two hours after taking fiber.

Licorice root may increase the effectiveness of prescription medications. Licorice root often appears in herbal supplements for stomach upset and constipation. There are known interactions between licorice root and diuretics, Digoxin, corticosteroids and insulin, but it is the unknown interactions that could be dangerous for the elderly.

Some diuretics like Esidrix and Zarolxolyn are commonly prescribed to lower blood pressure. Elderly patients may not know these drugs are diuretics. When licorice root is taken with diuretics, it may increase the effectiveness of the medication or increase the side effects associated with the prescription medication.

To reduce the risk of possible interaction between licorice root and prescription medications, ask your doctor if the blood pressure medication you’re taking is also a diuretic.

Check the label on the herbal supplements you’re taking for the ingredient licorice root. There is no safe way to combine the two treatments. Licorice root should not be taken with diuretics at any time.

Herbal supplement ingredients may cause dangerous side effects during surgery. Many elderly people believe the word herbal or all-natural means safe, but that is not always the case.

Common herbal remedies may pose potentially dangerous and life-threatening side effects when taken with certain medications given before, during and after surgery.

Garlic, commonly used to improve heart health, is generally considered safe, but when garlic is taken with anti-clotting and immunosuppressant medications, serious interactions may occur.

Garlic is known to interact with Warfarin, Plavix, dipyridamole and indomethacin. Garlic is not the only herbal supplement known to interact with blood thinners like Warfarin. Others include feverfew, ginger, St. John’s Wort and cranberry.

Interactions between anesthesia, transplant drugs and herbal supplements also occur. Valerian root, commonly used to improve sleep and St. John’s Wort, commonly used as a natural treatment for depression, may interact with anesthetic and immunosuppressant drugs, respectively.

To avoid possible interactions between herbal supplements and prescription medications used before, during and after surgery, reveal all treatments, both over the counter and prescription, to the surgeon performing the procedure and the anesthesiologist.

It is typically advised to stop taking all herbal remedies at least two weeks before surgery to prevent possible interaction.

As the body ages, the elderly may choose alternative therapies to treat depression and pain or improve heart health. Many of these herbal supplements are safe, but when taken with prescription medications may cause serious side effects and interactions.

It is best to talk with your prescribing physician about any herbal supplements currently part of your daily routine.

Treat the Pain and Swelling from Bites and Stings

Post author By Hugh Ellis
Post date March 12, 2020

Most of us like being outdoors but unfortunately so do insects that often love to take a bite out of us or sting us. Most, if not, all of us have been bitten or stung by insects or other animals like dogs.

I remember I was stung by a yellow jacket and not only was it painful but the sting grew almost to the size of a tennis ball. Bites and stings are no fun and can be very painful and swell. To treat and reduce the pain and swelling from bites and stings try some of these alternative remedies.

The best herb to take that will quickly heal the pain and itching of a sting or bite is plantain. Plantain has chemicals in it that act as astringents fighting bites and stings by tightening the skin and reducing the swelling, itching, and pain.

Plantain is found almost anywhere where the climate is damp and heavy. For quick relief, grab some plantain leaves, rinse them off, chew it to release the juice, and then put the chewed piece on the bite or sting.

This works immediately and you will notice that the pain and itching will stop instantly. If you are not too keen on chewing plants, then you can rub the plant together until the juice comes out and then rub it on the bite or sting. Plantain works great for dog bites also.

First, scrub the area with soap and water. Then put a handful of rinsed plantain leaves in a blender, add a few drops of hot water, and blend. Put the mixture directly on the bite and cover with a gauze and then put a heating pad over the gauze. Keep it on the bite for 20-30 minutes.

Another helpful herb is goldenseal to treat the pain and swelling of bites and stings. You can make a powder out of the goldenseal by mixing a small amount of water with the powder to make a paste. Put it directly on the bite or sting and then cover it with a bandage.

Goldenseal helps to reduce infections from bites and stings. After some bites and stings go away, there can still be some toxins left in the body. To help remove these toxins, use some bentonite clay paste. To make the paste, mix 2 tablespoons of the clay with just enough water to make a paste.

Then cover the bite or sting with a gauze by making a bandage and leave it on for 30 minutes. You should do this twice a day for 4 days.

Olive leaf helps to prevent infections by reducing the swelling and the pain of bites and stings. To reduce the pain and swelling of bee stings, put two pellets of the 12C or 30C potency of Apis Mellifica, which is crushed bees, under your tongue every 3 or 4 hours on the first day of the sting.

Testosterone

Is Prime Male A Scam?

Post author By Hugh Ellis
Post date February 18, 2020

The human body is delicate and requires our daily efforts to maintain.

Nutrients and hormones need to be in the right amounts for the body to function correctly.

When it comes to a male body, testosterone is essential for sexual performance, energy and motivation, fat loss, and muscle growth.

However, testosterone levels decline due to various factors, including increasing age.

Prime Male is a new T-booster on the market that supports the body to produce more testosterone.

In our Prime Male review, it is clear that Prime Male is not a scam.

Why?

Is Prime Male a Scam?

Lawsuit claims

Many scammy products in the industry are facing lawsuit claims on false grounds, hidden ingredients, or adverse side effects.

We did not find any lawsuit claims against Prime Male or the manufacturer.

Science-backed ingredients

Ingredients that are not supported by clinical evidence might be harmful to the user and fail to deliver results.

Therefore, any legit product should contain ingredients backed by clinical studies.

Prime Male is no exception; the manufacturer states that the ingredients used are clinically proven to boost testosterone.

Prime Male is free from synthetic ingredients, which is a huge plus.

Most scam products hide behind proprietary blends and do not reveal the ingredients to the user.

Prime Male provides a clear and transparent label on the ingredients used.

What’s more?

It uses an optimal clinical dosage that works synergistically to boost the production of testosterone in the body.

However, we found an issue with the Vitamin D dosage used. Prime Male uses 5000IU, and research shows that taking above 4000IU of Vitamin D every day, may cause excess calcium in the blood.

Refund fraud

Some manufacturers engage in return fraud by stealing from their customers through automatic monthly subscriptions and failure to honor their refund policy.

Worse still, some do not offer any refund policy to the user in case the products do not work as expected.

Prime Male offers a 90-day money-back guarantee.

They write on the official website:

We insist the risk is on us, so simply try Prime Male for 90 days, and if you do not see results, we will gladly refund your money.

However, we came across some complaints about this refund policy.

One user complained on Highya.com

…They just provide excuses for why they won’t honor the money-back guarantee. Because of this unreported side effect, I will probably report them to an appropriate medical authority to investigate. Too bad these guys don’t appear to be legitimate.

Another user requested a refund following side effects. He complains

, …so I returned it, only to find out that they do not honor their refund promise. They withheld an ‘administrative fee’ and charged an exorbitant amount for the shipping. In addition, the credit card company charged an international transaction fee. Of my $207.00, I only realized about $120.00 back. Total Scam!

Conclusion

Prime Male is not a scam.

It contains natural science-based ingredients and is manufactured in an FDA –approved facility.

Also, we did not find any legal sanctions facing Prime Male.

There are a few complaints about the refund policy; the company is yet to handle these issues.

Review of Bariatric Advantage Caramel Calcium Chews

Post author By Hugh Ellis
Post date January 21, 2020

Bariatric Advantage is one of a handful of companies that market vitamins specifically to bariatric surgery patients. There is no reason bariatric surgery patients cannot take “regular” vitamins but they require calcium citrate, not calcium carbonate, and most chewable calcium supplements such as Viactive contain calcium carbonate.

That’s probably due to the fact that calcium carbonate is cheaper and also because 500 mg of calcium carbonate makes a smaller chewable supplement than 500 mg calcium citrate and consumers typically prefer smaller supplements.

Bariatric surgery patients often prefer chewable supplements, though, especially in the early days after surgery. Many doctors and dieticians also recommend chewable supplements to their patients, especially in the early days. Customers that have not had bariatric surgery may also prefer chewable calcium citrate supplements to other forms of calcium, for a variety of reasons.

Now, many chewable calcium supplements are chalky and don’t taste very good, which is why supplements like Viactiv and the new Citracal gummies are popular. But again, those are made from forms of calcium that are not absorbed well by bariatric surgery patients.

I can swallow pills but I take so many prescription medications and vitamin supplements in pill form that I love chewable supplements – as long as they taste good. I love caramel flavored things so I was eager to try the caramel calcium chews from Bariatric Advantage.

When a friend told me Bariatric Advantage had a special in which you could buy two packages of calcium chews and get a third package free, I decided it was time to place my order.

The caramel calcium chews look like caramel candies. They are small square pieces, individually wrapped in plastic. They are fairly hard initially but soften as you chew them. They kind of stick to your teeth, but so do real caramels. I liked the taste and ate them after meals, almost like a dessert.

I’ve ordered them twice from Bariatric Advantage, both times when they were on special, and probably will not order again. The main issue for me was poor customer service. The second time I placed on order, online via the Bariatric Advantage website, I was informed it should take about five days to receive my order.

A full month later, my calcium chews had not yet arrived. I telephoned the customer service number listed on their web site and explained the problem. The representative with whom I spoke told me some sort of problem had occurred since I ordered online and the order had never been mailed. He promised to mail it that day and said that I would not be charged for shipping since it was being sent to long after I placed my order.

I did receive my order just a couple days later. However, I don’t want to order products from a company that may or may not ship my order if I order online. I want to be able to order online and know my vitamin supplements will be arriving in a timely manner.

It’s hard for me to believe that ordering online should cause a 30 day delay in shipping, but that is what the customer service representative told me.

So while I still enjoy the flavor of the Bariatric Advantage caramel calcium chews, I plan to order my chewable calcium citrate from other sources, such as Celebrate Vitamins, from which I have always received good service.

For those interested in trying the Bariatric Advantage chews, they contain 250 mg calcium citrate per chew and are sugar free, though they do contains sugar alcohols. They come in lemon, chocolate and raspberry, as well as caramel.

I have not tried the other flavors but have been told by friends that the chocolate tastes a lot like a Tootsie roll and that the lemon and raspberry taste a lot like Starburst candy.

Best Testosterone Boosters for Muscle Gain – Increase Testosterone Level The Natural Way!

Post author By Hugh Ellis
Post date November 24, 2019

You would want to make sure that you are not only using the best testosterone booster for muscle gain, but that you know what exactly the hormone is and how it can affect your body. Also, you should make sure that you know how to increase the levels easily and which supplements that you might want to opt for. You would also need to know what the benefits are of this supplement and much more, so keep reading to find out more.

What is Testosterone?

Testosterone is the main hormone that is created by the male body and it is also an anabolic use steroid. This plays a huge role in the development of a young man, including the reproductive tissues like the prostate and testes along with increasing the mass of the bones and much more. This is something that you should make sure that you have appropriate levels for you and you need to know how it can be increased and what low levels would affect.

How Testosterone Affects Muscle Growth?

If you don’t have enough of testosterone in your body, then you won’t be able to grow as much as you should. However, you can use one of the best testosterone booster for muscle gain to help you and this will help to increase the levels. Once the levels are at the right range, then you can start to see the difference and make sure that you are achieving what you are dreaming of.

How to Increase Testosterone Levels?

There are numerous ways that you can increase testosterone level and that doesn’t necessarily include taking one of the best best testosterone booster for muscle gain. There are a few natural ways that you can attempt to increase it, such as:

Exercising – There is a lot that you can do when it comes to exercising and you should make sure that you are fit. Not only that, but you should make sure that you are doing weight related activities so that you can increase your strength and other core areas.
Healthy diet – Another way that you can help increase these levels without having to take medication is to have a healthy diet. This means that you need to be eating plenty of carbohydrates, fats and even protein during your daily meals. This is extremely important because if you overeat or if you are always dieting, then the levels can be disrupted.
Minimizing stress – You should also make sure that you are minimizing the levels of stress that you are dealing with, which can increase the cortisol that you are dealing with. If you have higher levels of cortisol, then it can replace the hormone and that would prevent you from having the levels that you need to gain more strength.
Vitamin D – Also, start taking a supplement that would give you more Vitamin D or you can head outside and enjoy the sun, which would give you the same effect.
Sleep – You might not think about it, but one of the main things you should be doing is getting enough sleep. If you aren’t sleeping enough, then your body can’t function properly and all of your levels are going to be off.

These are only a few of the main ways that you can make sure that you are getting the right levels of testosterone in your body, so go ahead and start implementing these into your lifestyle.

Best Testosterone Booster for Muscle Gain

There are going to be so many different testosterone boosters supplements that you would have to pick and choose from when it comes to deciding which one to use. However, this might not be as easy as it seems since there are so many options that you can think about purchasing. Here are our reviews of 5 of the top testosterone supplements that you can consider using, so keep reading to find out more.

1. Testogen

No matter what you are going to want to increase the testosterone hormone levels in your body, which means you need to find the right supplement. This is a great one and this one has the ingredients that mimic how your body works and the ingredients are all natural. If you are looking for an easy to use supplement that is going to give you the changes that you need, then this is the best way to go.

This has a huge array of ingredients that you can enjoy, such as bioperine, zinc, vitamin B6, red ginseng extract, fenugreek extract, D-aspartic acid, vitamin D, vitamin K1, nettle leaf extract, boron and magnesium. This one worked well and it helped in all areas, including giving us extra strength and keeping our moods on track. However, this one sometimes gives other less energy rather than more, so make sure you are thinking about that.

2. Testofuel

This is another extremely popular testosterone supplement that we tried and we were impressed with this one as well. It helps you with growing and maintaining the muscle that you build along with an increase in your sexual prowess and libido and your overall health. This one also has plenty of natural ingredients, which means that you don’t have to worry about any major side effects.

We thought that this one was great and we would definitely recommend it to others who want to level out their body and their health. This is great, but it wasn’t as good as some of the others that we tried out before or after in terms of how we felt after using it or how fast it kicked in.

3. Testolan

This is another one of those supplements that you can take if you want to increase the Testosterone hormone in your body. This is also made of the top natural ingredients to avoid any unnecessary side effects that might come from supplements. This is a pill that you have to take and it helps with muscle recovery when you exercise, helps to increase your stamina, helps get rid of extra fat and much more.

This one is not only made up of some of the top natural ingredients, but it has the best vitamins, nutrients, herbs and extracts possible. This one requires you to take the supplement around 30 minutes before you are going to have a meal and this makes it easier to remember when you should take it. However, the only thing that bugs us about this one is that there have been some reports of people suffering from hair loss from prolonged use, so make sure to talk to your dermatologist.

4. Prime Male

For those who are interested in an another all natural supplement, then this is the way to go. This one is promoted to not only increase the required Testosterone levels, but to help you in the sexual areas as well. This can help give you the same amount of the hormone as the other supplements, which doesn’t make any different in that area.

This one is not aimed at the body builders, but instead at the men who are looking for more strength in their life, including the elderly. The only thing that we don’t like about this supplement is that it has a lower level of D-aspartic acid than some of the others, which is one of the necessary ingredients to increase the hormone levels. Otherwise, this is one of the top ones that we tried out and we would use it again and recommend it to others who are interested and looking.

5. Testo-Max

The final supplement that we tested was Testo-Max and this is one of the top ones in the industry. This one is supposed to be taken around 4 times every day for at least 8 weeks to see the best results. It also recommended that this be taken with other legal steroids, if necessary and if you have a prescription from a doctor. This is one that you can use easily and it would make sure that you have everything that you need and that you are getting the increased stamina and hormone levels.

This is a great option that you can purchase and it would help you with increasing your hormone level easily and it makes it simple. The only thing we didn’t care for when it comes to this supplement is that is requires 4 pills a day and that becomes an expensive proposition. Also, the fact that this is recommended to be used with other steroids is something that we don’t like since the others have everything all together.

Knowing what is what when it comes to testosterone supplements is important and that means that you need to make sure that you are checking out reviews and recommendations. Knowing what others have said and experienced is going to be vital to making sure that you are picking the one for you.

What is Testosterone Booster?

If you are searching for a supplement that you can use to increase the testosterone levels that you are dealing with, then you should look for one of the best testosterone booster. However, these are supplements that you can use and take on a daily basis that have the natural ingredients that can be used to increase the levels easily. There are so many options that you should make sure that you are finding the one that would fit your needs whatever that is.

What are the Benefits of Using a Testosterone Booster?

When you are thinking about taking a supplement to help your body naturally increase testosterone that you need, then you need to be aware of the benefits of consuming these. Some of the main ones to know about are:

Healthy blood and heart – When you have a healthy heart, then the rest of your body is going to be healthy at the same time. This is because more blood is going to be pumped to the required areas and then they would get the nutrients required.
Lower levels of fat – This hormone is in charge of increasing the amount of muscle that the body has, so when it has the right levels you can see that increase and the fat lower. This also means that you are going to grow stronger and you can see your body becoming more lean over time.
Stronger bones – This hormone also plays heavily with the mineral density of the bones, which means if you have the right levels, then you can have stronger bones. The stronger your bones are, then you can support your internal organs and the body easier without breaking the bones as easily.
Higher libido – If you have a low libido level, then increasing this hormone to the required level is going to help with that. You can see a higher sex life and this supplement can help in that area as well.

You want to always make sure that you are aware of what the main benefits are that you can get when you start using these supplements. Knowing what these are can help you to decide if this is going to be the right way for you to get the hormone increase that you need and desire.

Best Herbs for Menopause. Are they working?

Post author By Hugh Ellis
Post date March 15, 2019

Once you are entering the early phases of menopausal period, it is always advisable to prepare for it before it comes. That’s why women choose what treatment program they are going to take. And one of the most popular and effective way of treating the symptoms are the herbs for menopause.

Herbs for menopause are one of the most popular and effective ways of treating the symptoms of the said deficiency of estrogen. Though some people would call them traditional in nature, the effects of these herbs are far better than the most renowned hormone replacement therapy nowadays.

However, most doctors would still claim that HRT (hormone replacement therapy) is still the best remedy to ease the symptoms of menopause. Indeed, it is true that when it comes to stalling off the symptoms of menopause rapidly, HRT is still the best. However, when safety concerns are questioned, the immediate answer is herbs for menopause.

It seems that herbs would replace HRT for the coming years. There were even no disputes regarding the effectiveness of herbs used to bring down the dreaded symptoms of menopause and that herbs are acclaimed for the safety and natural way of healing or much more, preventing the symptoms of menopause.

Therefore, natural ways of treating those symptoms are always the best. Natural way of treatment would give the body time to adapt naturally rather than forcing it. However, natural treatment would take weeks before you can feel its effects but the good thing is that the effect is long-lasting not like the unnatural way. If you have short patience, then you would need to take hormone therapy rather than natural.

Here are some herbs used by women for their menopause:

-Ginger Roots are the most effective and popular herbal medicine used by Chinese.

-Chaste Tree Berry has always been used for more than hundreds of years and was proven effective when it comes to menstrual conditions.

-Atractylodes Rhizome is always beneficial for conditions like sweating and vomiting but is more effective when combined with other herbs.

Women all around the world prefer the natural way of treating those menopause symptoms by promoting herbs for menopause.

The National Hunt is on for Deer and Male Strippers

Post author By Hugh Ellis
Post date February 15, 2019

The middle of October marks the beginning of the great annual hunt in many states across the nation. Hunters everywhere are gearing up to hit the hills in search of the trophy. Depending on which sex you are – the trophy may be a deer or elk, or your trophy may be a male stripper and a shopping bargain.

From Washington, Oregon, and Nevada to Minnesota, Michigan, and Maine, retailers, restaurants, hotels, casinos, nightclubs, spas, and vacation resorts are all planning one of the biggest selling seasons of the year: Deer Widows Weekend. Whether you are tripping on testosterone or exploding with estrogen, there are plenty of bargains from state to state being offered for the big trophy hunt.

How Big Is Hunting Season?

According to a national survey conducted by the U.S. Fish amp; Wildlife Service, 13 million people or 5% of the U.S. population aged 16 and older, hunted in 2006. They spent an average of 18 days in pursuit of the hunted over 228 days of the season.

Hunters spent $20.6 billion in 2006 on equipment, 200 million trips, and other items. During 2001-2006, expenditures for hunting equipment rose 3% and expenditures on hunting trips rose 13%. There was a 30% drop in expenditures for expensive items like trucks and cabins.

Not all men load the backpacks and grab the tents headed for the woods in pursuit of antlers. Some men prefer to use Deer Widows Weekend to hunt wild animals of the female sex – and of the human race. Rick, a promotions official at the Rainbow Casino in Wendover, Nevada says it is one of their busiest weekends, but there are just as many men there as there are Deer Widows.

What is an Untamed Deer Widow to Do?

The male sex should not have all the fun hauling off the kids in search of the big buck during hunting season. The female sex has plenty of wild and wooly options for boosting the economy during Deer Widows Weekend. It is never smart for women to reveal what they actually spend on luxuries and shopping, but rest assured, the Deer Widows will give the Buck Boys a run for their money this hunting season.

Looking for a way to exercise your back? Trying to strengthen your muscles or aim specifically on one part of your back? Look no further. I have listed for you a full range of exercises and videos, with and without equipment that will help in reaching your back health goals. I have also listed a few choices of equipment that may help you reach those goals.

This is a great workout for toning back muscles. They highlight three exercises that focus on strengthening and trimming the back muscles. They suggest three sets of 8-15 repetitions for each exercise. They suggest that you do 20 minutes of aerobic exercise three times a week. These exercises are done with no equipment.

The NISMAT-Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Center offers some of the best exercises. They twenty-three exercises that specifically build stonger, toner back muscles. These exercises are designed specifically for low back care. They suggest that following this program will improve your posture, provide you with a greater work endurance and will support improvements in athletic performance.

The Muscle and Strength website has put together a set of great videos that address the muscles in the back and trapezoid muscles. They give specific direction for doing each exercise properly. The videos address exercising both with and without machines, applying the use of free weights. They list thirteen videos and have a muscle building forum for questions and answers. Very good website.

ExRx.net offers a different kind of website it looks like it is just a list, but when you click on the individual exercises listed, it will take you to a page that will give you a video of the exercise, along with a complete description of the exercise and list the muscles the exercise highlights. The main list is broken down according to equipment needed for the exercise.

The Mayo Clinic, renowned for their expert medical opinions, has put together a slide show depicting a series of back exercises on their website. It can be seen here. They suggest you allow 15 minutes each day for exercising your back. They exercises they suggest are to stretch and strengthen your back muscles, and address the entire back.

The Gravity Table by Motion. I have an inversion table similar to this and can tell you that what they do for your back is fantastic. The table adjusts to the height of each individual and allows you to invert, or simply put, allows you to hang upside down. This helps stretch your spine and realigns the vertebrae in your spine as well. The cost is $259 and is a worth investment.

back.com specializes in just that. Back exercises. The website offers a full range of lower back exercises that go from intermediate to advanced. The videos highlight equipment free exercises.

Fitness Rush I actually found a site that offers for sale used exercise equipment, and of course they have a full range of equipment specifically for exercising your back muscles. They say that they have to offer you lat pull-down machines, t-bar rowing machines and seated rowing machines.

These machines are all designed to strengthen the back muscles and based on the exercise form you chose would highlight different back muscle groups.

Gym Cor offers a full range of equipment for back exercise. I found the Roman Chair to be an interesting piece of equipment. It is a Hyper Extension machine and helps you focus on strengthening the lower back muscles group. A plus here is that while you are working on your back muscles, you are also defining your glutens and hamstring muscles. This sells for $219

The Gym Tough Total Back System is another piece of exercise equipment offered to you by Gym Cor. This offers a different method of inversion for those that don’t want to just hang upside down by their ankles. This focuses on elongating the spine, strengthening the back muscles along the spine, and relieving over all stress due to back muscles stress. This piece of equipment sells for $329.
