The Many Wonderful Benefit Of The Noblerex K1

By Gwen Eckley

Space age technology usually trickles down to us little by little. Even though a lot of inventions and innovations have been invented already, most of these don't reach the commercial markets long after these have been extensively used and tested. The Noblerex machine is one such technology that has recently reached us today. It is an exercise machine that revolutionizes how we get fit and how we tone our bodies.

Astronauts have to content with a lot of training when it comes to preparing for outer space. Because in outer space, there is no gravity and our bodies respond differently to that environment. Space atrophy is the process wherein our bodies lose bone density and muscle mass because of the lack of gravity. The blood circulates on a lower rate than it does when we are here at earth. This poses a problem for astronauts who don't really have the space inside the space station to run around and work out. Thus, in order to prevent space atrophy, astronauts have to make use of machines in order to keep fit.

Because the accommodations inside a space station are severely limited, machines like the K1 Noblerex needed to be invented. Astronauts could perform exercises without actually having to use up a lot of space. The noblerex k1 price, used to be so prohibitive that only astronauts could use them, but now, its price has gone down giving ordinary people to chance to have the following benefits:

1. Increases calories burned 2. Increases metabolism 3. Increases fat loss 4. Increases human growth hormone production 5. Decreases cortisol 6. Improves blood circulation 7. Improves lymphatic health

It does this through the technology called the K1 vibration. It all begins with the oscillation of the machine. Through these oscillations, the body's muscles rapidly contracts and expands simulating the natural movement that it makes whenever one is exercising. In a way, you could say that it's like you are exercising without exercising. In fact, all you have to do is to use the machine.

Your muscles then begin to oscillate as you stand on the machine and turn it on. In this way, the rate of contraction will range from 7 to 28 oscillations per second. At that rate, you might as well have been running a full sprint on the track oval. That is why this machine is a part of the United States and Russian space training programs. Alongside with a physically demanding regimen, astronauts and cosmonauts undergo vibration exercise in order to acclimatize them.

What gives the Noblerex machine a prime advantage when it comes to comparisons with exercise regimens is that it is safe, secure, effective and most importantly more efficient. Real physical exertion usually comes with the dangers of sports injuries because of the kinetic movements involved. Since the machine only uses vibrations to simulate movement, there is no danger of injury and no danger of costly medical expenses associated with it.

The main selling point of the k1 noblerex is its multiplier effect. It does not only simulate the same amount of muscle contractions whenever you are working out, it also multiplies them 7 fold. This simply means that you are practically doing 7 times the work without exerting any effort while doing it. Consider this, you could only lift a dumbbell once or twice every second. While you are doing this, your muscles expand and contract once or twice every second. With the machine, your muscles can expand and contract from 7 to 28 times in a second. And the good thing about this is that you actually have not exerted any effort since you did not move at all.

Getting your dream body without the rigors of physical workout is what the Noblerex machine promises. The makers of the machine prides itself with its safety, efficiency and the ability to radically transform your body to the image that you've always wanted it to be. - 42635

NY Jets Rip Hapless Raiders

By Ross Everett

The New York Jets and rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez found a sure fire cure to their recent struggles-a game against the lowly Oakland Raiders. Sanchez passed for--3 yards and a touchdown, plus added a rushing touchdown as New York thumped Oakland 38-0 in the largest regular season shutout win in franchise history. Oakland quarterback JaMarcus Russell continued to struggle, and he passed for just 61 yards with three interceptions before he was benched in favor of Bruce Gradowski. The Jets improved their record to 4-3 while the Raiders dropped to 2-5.

NFL football betting enthusiasts who took the Jets as -6 road favorites had smooth sailing throughout the game for an easy pointspread cover. The Jets improved to 4-3 against the spread while the Raiders fell to 3-5 against the number. The 38 points scored went OVER the posted total of 34. Oakland failed to score a touchdown for the 15th game in the past four seasons.

It was such an effortless game that the only thing that Sanchez had to apologize for was surreptitiously eating a hot dog near the end of the contest:

"I want to apologize for that. I wasn't feeling very good and didn't eat much before the game, so I was feeling a little queasy. Toward the end of the game, I probably should have eaten one of those bars or something, but someone offered a hot dog, so I grabbed it and tried to be discreet about it, but obviously not discreet enough. So I shouldn't have done that, and it won't happen again."

Sanchez praised the defense for making his job easy:

"It makes it so easy on the offense when your defense is playing like that. Hats off to them, they had a heck of a game to shut that team out. I don't care who we're playing, that's a big-time accomplishment for our team."

Jets' coach Rex Ryan was very pleased with Sanchez's performance:

"Sanchez was great. He was just smart with the football. I think sometimes he could have put the ball on a receiver, but he was making sure the ball wasn't intercepted. It was great to see him respond."

Raiders' defensive lineman Richard Seymour, who boldly predicted the team would make the playoffs despite their slow start, was singing a different tune after the rout:

"I don't think we could have beaten an Oakland high school team today."

Despite Russell's struggles, Oakland coach Tom Cable remains committed to him as the team's starter:

"I thought he was really out of sorts early in the game. I just did not feel like at that point he gave us the best chance to have the success we needed to have offensively and made the move. JaMarcus will continue to be our starter. There is no issue there."

The Raiders will try to bounce back this weekend in a big rivalry game on the road against the San Diego Chargers. Oakland is +16' road underdogs with the total set at 42'. They'll then enjoy a bye week before back to back home games against the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets host Miami this Sunday, with New York a -3' home favorite and the total set at 40'. They'll also have a bye week to look forward to before returning to action at home on November 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. - 42635

Beckham's Road To Recovery Longer Than Expected

By Ross Everett

When David Beckham suffered a torn Achilles' tendon in a Serie A game in mid-March, doctors gave him an outside chance of returning in time for the World Cup or at the very least part of the MLS season. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like either of these favorable scenarios will transpire. In a recent statement to the media Beckham broke the news that his recovery is behind schedule and he won't be able to resume playing soccer until November at the earliest.

This timetable does leave open the possibility that he could return to action should the Los Angeles Galaxy make the MLS playoffs. As far as a potential return to England's national team the first realistic opportunity for Beckham to play would be in a European Championship qualifier against Wales in March 2011. He's been assured that he's welcome back at AC Milan in Italy's Serie A league whenever he's back in playing shape, though neither the team nor Beckham have indicated anything specific about his future with the team.

Beckham, who is still using crutches to get around, explained his recovery process:

"I won't be running for another three months, so I will be playing again in, probably, November."

"My mentality is to kind of push it and get moving and running and soon as possible. But it's an injury that has to take time to heal. It's frustrating. It's obviously disappointing because I've been working for the last two years to get into the English squad [for the World Cup]."

"At the moment, it's just getting the motion back into the ankle, the tendon, because it's still repairing. I'm trying to get mobilization back into the ankle."

Beckham also discussed the injury itself:

"It was like being hit by a hockey puck. I thought someone was behind me and kicked me. Obviously no one was there and I saw my foot hanging and then I felt down there and there was a hole."

The former England captain would have likely served in a reserve capacity with the World Cup squad, though his Howitzer-like free kicks remain one of the most feared offensive weapons in the sport. Even without Beckham in the lineup and with lingering injury issues plaguing Manchester United superstar Wayne Rooney soccer betting enthusiasts are bullish on England's prospects this summer. The 'Three Lions' are currently the third favorite in World Cup future betting behind Brazil and Spain. - 42635

UFC 98 Review: Karate Is Back As Machida Beats Evans

By Ross Everett

When golf legend Jack Nicklaus was still a young upstart in the sport and only starting to tear up PGA courses, legend Bobby Jones commented following 'The Golden Bear's''65 Masters win that "he plays a game with which I am not familiar". Following his absolute destruction of Rashad Evans in the main event of UFC 98, there's likely a few MMA fighters saying the same thing about the new light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida who made it look easy en route to a 2nd round TKO victory.

The fight started slowly, with each man trying to get a feel for his opponent and wait him out to see who blinked first. Evans, who prefers to counter punch, quickly began to become uncomfortable with facing an adversary who didn't come right at him. Late in the first round, Machida went on offense with frightening suddenness, flooring Evans with a nice straight right hand. Evans was able to recover and survive, but it only delayed the inevitable as Machida used another right hand to send his opponent down again and did so for the third time in the fight with a crisp combination that displayed the handspeed that hadn't before been seen from 'The Dragon' . Evans gamely tried to fight back, but a final right hand from the Shotokan Karate master left him out cold.

After the fight UFC announcer Joe Rogan proclaimed the start of the Machida era and this is not just mere hyperbole. Machida is unlike any fighter before him, rooted in mastery of traditional martial arts but with the versatility of a modern MMA competitor. He's essentially a Mortal Kombat character come to life--in a more realistic cross disciplinary comparison he shares many of the same characteristics as boxing great Floyd Mayweather, Jr. as he combines insane handspeed, underrated stopping power and nearly impenetrable defense into an unorthodox and extremely lethal package.

Outside of the cage, Machida is a modest and respectful gentleman who is quick to give credit to his father and his karate teachers for his MMA success. He spent most of his UFC 98 postfight interview not singing his own praises, but imploring others to strive to realize their dreams. In the past, his limited English was seen as a potential marketing liability here in the US but on this occasion he demonstrated vastly improved fluency in the language as a Portuguese translator stood by.

An odd trivia note about Machida serves as further repudiation for MMA neophytes who think that the sports kinship with pro wrestling began with Brock Lesnar: Machida was discovered by Japanese wrestling legend Antonio Inoki, and became something of his protege. He trained for some time at the New Japan Pro Wrestling dojo in Tokyo.

Perhaps the most frightening thing about Machida is that hes only now reaching his full potential as an MMA fighter. In other words, hes only going to get better which is a scary prospect for opponents given the fact that hes never lost in MMA competition. Early in his UFC career he had a reputation as a boring fighter, but in his recent bouts hes shown a downright lethal ability to end fights. He stopped Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou at UFC 79 with an arm triangle choke, and blitzed Evans and previous foe Thiago Alves with punishing punching combinations en route to TKO victories. The so called boring fighter has in the process earned two UFC knockout of the night bonuses by virtue of his evolving power punching skills.

Machida will very likely face Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson at some point and its difficult to see him faring much differently than Evans did. One thing working in 'Rampage's' favor is his greater experience and a resume filled with high level opponents of various fighting styles. Still, everyone comes back to the fundamental reality that no one has ever really seen a fighter quite like Machida before.

In the co-main event of the evening, Matt Hughes defeated Matt Serra by unanimous decision to gain the upperhand in their long running feud. It was a surprisingly entertaining fight, with Serra taking the first round with his power punching before Hughes used his takedown and ground control abilities to win rounds two and three. The two men embraced after the fight so, for now at least, their well known dislike for one another that began during their stint as rival coaches on The Ultimate Fighter may have ebbed. After the fight, Hughes backed off his previous talk of retirement after this matchup and clearly indicated that hed like to keep competing in the UFC. - 42635

Stan Mikita: Pro Hockey's Unsung Hero

By Ross Everett

In the'60's, the NHL was almost entirely made up of Canadian born players. There were a few US natives, but players from other countries were unheard of. Stan Mikita, born the country formerly known as Czechoslovakia, started to change that. While he was sometimes overshadowed by teammates like Bobby Hull, most hockey experts consider Mikita the best NHL center of the'60's. He was born in what is now Slovakia, and sent to live in Canada as a young boy. Like most boys his age, he began playing the national sport of hockey.

Mikita starred for the junior league St. Catherine Teepees as a teenager before making the jump to the NHL joining the Chicago Blackhawks. He quickly became an important part of the Chicago offense in his first and second full seasons as a pro. In'61, he led the team in playoff scoring as they won the Stanley Cup.

The following year was when Mikita really began to make a mark in professional hockey. Centering the dangerous Scooter Line with Ken Wharram on the right wing and Ab McDonald or Doug Mohns on the left wing, he became one of the most feared offensive scorers and playmakers in the league. While he played in the media shadow of Bobby Hull, Mikita was considered by most hockey cognoscenti to be the real offensive catalyst of the team.

Mikita wasn't a one way player by any means--he was a tenacious defender and one of the best faceoff men in the sport. He's also responsible for introducing the curved stick blade to the NHL. It was a radical innovation at the time, but now players who *don't* play with a curved blade are a rarity.

Early in his career, Mikita played a tough, rugged style of hockey that made him one of the most penalized players in the game. In the mid'60s, however, he began to play a much cleaner and more sportsmanlike style that would earn him the Lady Byng Trophy for most gentlemanly player twice. According to legend, his young daughter prompted the change of play with her frequent questions about why her daddy spent so much time sitting in the box on televised games.

In addition to his Stanley Cup victory, Mikitas career accomplishments are among the most impressive in NHL history. He won the Art Ross Trophy as the NHLs leading scorer four times (1964,'65,'67,'68), the Hart Memorial Trophy for Most Valuable Player twice (1967 and'68) and the Lady Byng Trophy in'67 and'68.

Mikita suffered from chronic back ailments later in his career, and finally retired in'80 having played his entire career for the Chicago Blackhawks. He was voted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility (1983) and became enshrined in pop culture history a few years later thanks to the movie 'Wayne's World'. In the movie, protagonists Wayne and Garth frequently hang out at a donut shop based on the Canadian Tim Hortons chain. The name of the shop is Stan Mikitas Donuts. - 42635
