Get Fit in 2011
Get fit for 2011
So you made a New Year's resolution to get fitter in 2011? Well read on, it will certainly keep you on track and motivated. It doesn't matter whether your aim is to run the London or New York marathon or just partake in some light yoga. As the saying goes ‘every little helps'.
Not everyone likes running, or even walking for that matter (me included). Likewise re swimming or anything to do with water. So how about trying some of these alternatives?
Hula hoping!!! Great exercise, fantastic for the aging creaky hips and all ages can get involved. I remember as a kid the hula hoop craze, boy was it fun!!! So why not try again, there is still a child in all of us and the sight of your granny and your niece both giving it socks is guaranteed to make anyone smile!
If that is not your thing how about swaying in the moonlight, swinging in the sunshine or stomp stomp stomp!!! Ballroom dancing– thanks to the success of Strictly Come Dancing, ballroom dancing is not just for the experts. Learning to ballroom dance ticks off lots of boxes – fitness, meeting new people, learning a new skill and posture.
But dancing covers many genres so you could always stry hip hop dance classes, ballet for adults, line dancing (yee haw) and of course Irish dancing (my favourite).
So go on, whether it's a bit of fiddly de di, cha cha cha or clicking your heels, get your dancing shoes on!!!
What can expect from your new found fitness regime? Keep reading, it's all good.
1. Regular activity has a number of proven, positive health effects, especially on heart health. Vigorous exercise strengthens the heart as a pump, making it a larger, more efficient muscle. Even moderate activity can boost HDL ('good') cholesterol, aid the circulatory system, and lower blood pressure and blood fats. All these effects translate into reduced risk for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
2. Exercise can also offer other benefits, including strengthened muscles, increased flexibility, and stronger bones, which can help ward off the bone-thinning condition called osteoporosis.
3. Regular activity also promises mental-health benefits, like relieving stress and anxiety. It can help you sleep better and renew your energy. If exercise could be bottled, it would be a best-selling potion at the local pharmacy.
If exercise could be bottled, it would be a best-selling potion at the local pharmacy.
Surveys confirm the well-known fact that most people aren't active enough and boy, do we pay for it. 12% of all deaths are due to a lack of regular exercise. So look around you, 1 out of the 10 people you see right now will die from lack of exercise – SCARY!!
So go for it, get up off your ass and make a difference to YOUR life. Care for YOUR heart, don't break it.
And if you need any help, then look no further, we here in Homelink can help you get over that finishing line. By getting sponsorship for an sporting event, you get the added benefit that all your hard work and determination not only helped your own life but the lives of others. And we want to hear from you, your plans, your weekly goals, your training schedules, if you slipped a bit one week, how many friends you have roped in.
Drop us a mail homelink.fr@gmail.com and we would be delighted to send you out a sponsorship pack.

Making my electric guitar sound "electric"?
I'm a beginning guitar player and just bought a Squier Strat pack...what settings would I need to put my amp (Fender 15G) on to sound "electric", or would I need to upgrade my amp/get a stomp box? Right now it just sounds like an acoustic guitar, only amplified. Also, what effects pedals are easy for beginners to play around with? I'm trying to get the same kind of sounds Mogwai/Explosions in the Sky can make during their instrumentals...or, better example, Radiohead's "How to Disappear Completely"-type sound. I'm not saying I'm trying to sound as good as them, I just want my guitar to play with those same effects/settings.
I LOVE THE MUSIC YOU'RE INTO! I've been using explosions as a model for some of my tones...I think I can help you. I think you will be able to sound half-way decent without to much work or equipment. Let's start with the amp...
OK...the Frontman 15G...I would say more emphasis on the bass and treble tones...around 9 and 8 (respectively)...keep the middle down around 6. Then kick on that Drive Select channel and turn the Gain to about 4 or 5...we want a slight sting, a little crunch, but not distorted. Then turn up the Drive Volume to the appropriate level (depending on how loud you want to be). This should beef up your sound. To get the most output out of your guitar, I would probably have the pick-up selector in the middle position.
Now onto stomp boxes:
In my very humble opinion, post-rock isn't as moving without REVERB!!! The guys in explosions use the boss RV-3, which is nice...I prefer the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail...the "hall" setting is to die for! Stuart from Mogwai uses the Boss RV-5 I believe.
Next, we have delay...delay is so cool becuase it can be as noticeable or subtle as you want...and it adds a lot of intensity. I use the Line6 DL-4, it has a lot of different types of delay and also has a little 14-second sampler. The guys in explosions use the Line6 DL-4, Ibanez DE-7, Boss DD-5 and the Boss RV-3 (which, along with reverb, may also have some delay as well.) I would recommend the DL-4 only because if you want a digital delay, you got it, along with analog delay (subterranean homesick alien), ping-pong, chorus delay (e.g. your hand in mine) and a bunch of others...I think one of the dudes in Mogwai uses an Electro-Harmonix memory man as his delay.
Overdrive and Distortion pedals are another great investment. EITS play through all sorts of pedals like the Electro-Harmonix big Muff, Tech21 SansAmp, Ibanez Tube King, Vox V830 Distortion. Stuart from Mogwai has been known to play a ProCo Rat distortion pedal I believe. I Personally I prefer overdrive to distortion...distortion just seems too rough and nasty to me...plus I love the overtones I can get with a nice overdrive and reverb...I don't like distortion and reverb together though. I use an Xotic AC Booster pedal...not well known, but it's a boutique pedal and you can find a lot of info. on it if you search youtube, etc.
Regardless of anything, you NEED to get a tuner...I use the Boss TU-2 (which is kind of the standard) EITS uses the TU-2 and also the Arion Stage Tuner.
Now, other amps to possibly consider...
A lot of this rich, thick and bakey tones come from tube amps...generally Fender amps. The guys in explosions use a Fedner Twin Reverb (with is what I use) and a Fender Dual Showman...Chris from the Appleseed Cast (I don't know if you're a fan) as well as Stuart from Mogwai use a Twin Reverb also. The Fender Bassman is also an amp of choice...as well as the Vox AC30.
I know I just threw out alot of equipment, but take your time and have fun...try out new things...I think with $300-500 you can buy a couple of nice pedals. I'm not saying $300-500 is cheap, but pedals just cost a little bit, and it's an investment in tone that will stay with you. My suggestion...
Boss TU-2 Tuner ($100)
Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer ($100)
Boss DD-3 ($110) or save up for the DL-4 ($250)
Holy Grail Reverb ($120)
I've bought new, used, ebay...whatever I could find.
Good Luck
