The Cadez Experience

When it comes to buying exercise equipment for working out at home there some things you should be aware of before you decide on making a purchase.

There are many types of fitness machines you can choose, some work better than others and not all will fit your needs.

First of all, what’s your spending budget. It’s true that all types of exercise machines have models ranging from $100 to over $2000 in price but a $100 dollar rower is not the same with $100 elliptical.

If you’re just starting out I would go for something in the $600 to $1200 range. The quality is there but it’s not that expensive.

There are many places where you can buy exercise equipment online. My personal favorite is Amazon.com because they have a wide selection of machines and there are also the customer reviews which is something I pay close attention to.

Speaking of online reviews for fitness machines, I also use www.niugu8.com, they’ve got a lot of reviews and price comparison charts for home fitness machines.

If you’ve got the budget part figured out, next thing is what type of machine will you buy. You’ve got treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, rowers, steppers, etc.

This depends on your personal preferance and your health and fitness levels. For instance if you have bad joints a treadmill would only cause you pain when working out and you would probably use the machine once or twice before you give up.

When it comes to low impact cardio workouts nothing beats rowing machines. They’re the best indoor fitness machines for you if you don’t want to put too much pressure on your knees and hips but still get a decently challenging workout.

Also you should go for a exercise machine that can target more muscle groups. You don’t want something that just works the legs or the upper body. It doesn’t have to be a full body workout, but at least it should target lower and upper body muscle groups during the exercises.

Another thing, make sure the room in which you’re gonna workout has enough space for the fitness machine.

There are many machines that fold so that they don’t take up too much space when you’re not working out. Rowers are long but most of them have a foldable frame so you can store them somewhere out of your way.

You may think that the technology on the machine is not that important but it actually is. It keeps you motivated and you don’t get bored from exercising.

For example, an elliptical machine is an amazing piece of home exercise equipment because of the main console which has so many workout programs, goal setting and tracking features which like I said gets you pumped up to workout daily or at least a couple of times a week.

Brand is important aswell. Make sure the brand you buy from has a great warranty policy because sometimes the machines break and you don’t want to wait around for months before the manufacturer decides to take care of your problem. Look at the reviews online and you’ll be able to tell which are manufacturers are serious about their products and their customers.

Want to teach your dog how to greet you and other people politely instead of constantly jumping on you. In this short but practical guide I’m going to give you 4 tips which I’ve used with my daughter’s Golden Retriever puppy to make him stop jumping on people.

What you have to understand though is that jumping on you and being overly execited is in most dog’s nature. That’s why we love them so much, because they’re always happy to sees us and they show that. But sometimes it’s not that fun when your dog or someone else’s dog jumps on you, especially if his paws are dirty. Every have that happen to you?

These are just 4 tips, but there are other ways you can stop your dog from jumping. My advice is to look at videos and other online resources for dog training. What I can recommend is that you check out To Raise A Dog, a dog training website with detailed guides on training methods for dogs of all sizes and shapes.

#1 Don’t encourage jumping

If your dog comes and jumps on you, your first instinct is to play with him, cuddle him. He will see that as a reward for jumping, and the behaviour will continue.

I know it’s hard as a dog owner to ignore your dog when he wants your affection and your attention. But when it comes to jumping, totally ignoring your pet is the first step in getting rid of this type of behavior.

#2 Be consistent

Teaching your dog to stop jumping when he’s greeting you is just as every other dog training activity and results will now show on the first day.

Successful dog training is all about being consisten in your actions and commands. Or else your dog will only be confused, and he won’t know what it is exactly you’re wanting him to do.

Maintain the no reward routine for every person your dog jumps on, everytime.

#3 If ignoring doesn’t work use the leash

If you’ve tried ignoring your dog when he jumps for some time now and he’s still not affected by your no reward behavior, it’s probably not working. Not every routine works. Dog’s are different and what might work with one dog might not work with another.

Like Doggy Dan says in his online dog training program, you need to be the pack leader for your dog. A dog will either follow you or he’ll try to dominate you. It’s in their genes. Here’s a video of him talking about this exact problem:

So what do you do with the leash? Well everytime your dog jumps on you or on a guest step on the leash so that he cannot jump. At this point while your dog can see that he cannot jump you can can say the word “no” to help him make the association that this is something you do not want him to do.

Once your dog has calmed down reward his behavior, but only after he’s completely calm and has given up the urge to jump on you. That’s when you reward him.

I know this might sound a bit cruel but it’s not. Your dog is used to the leash and as long as there is no continuos tension on the leash, it won’t hurt  or bother him.

Personal nu prea ma incanta televizoarele astea cu 3D insa daca ai de unde sa-ti downloadezi filme 3D si iti place sa le vezi asa poate ca se merita sa-ti iei un televizor din asta.

Majoritatea televizoarelor 3D sunt si Smart, nu cred ca se mai gasesc tv-uri 3D care sa nu aiba un sistem de operare smart instalat pe ele.

Acuma desigur ca cele mai mici preturi la televizoare nu o sa le gasesti la modelele astea Smart 3D insa sunt si diferite modele care nu sunt chiar asa scumpe si care totusi sunt cat de cat bunicele. Nu te astepta sa faca minuni insa iti ofera o calitate a imaginii decenta zic eu mai ales la banii la care ii dai pe ele.

Asa ca m-am decis ca in acest articol sa iti prezint 4 televizoare Smart 3D cu preturi putin mai accesibile, mai exact sub 2000 de lei.

Primul televizor din lista este LG 32LF650V, un smart TV cu tehnologie 3D. Diagonala ecranului care este Full HD este de 80cm. Pretul este unde in jurul sumei de 1500 de lei, e posibil sa-l gasesti si mai ieftin in functie de oferta curenta.

Ce-mi place e ca vine cu telecomanda Magic Remote, exclusiva televizoarelor produse de LG si este mult mai usor de folosit mai ales când vine vorba de navigat online sau de interactionat cu aplicatiile smart instalate pe tv.

Cei de la LG ofera au dotat televizoarele lor 3D cu tehnologie 3D pasiva, adica ochelarii 3D de care ai nevoie nu le trebuie baterii ca sa vezi imaginiile in 3D, spre deosebire de exemplu de Samsung care au 3D Activ si ai nevoie de ochelari 3D mai speciali si mai scumpi. La LG-uri poti folosi si ochelarii 3D care ti da la cinema, insa de obicei televizoarele 3D LG vin cu 2-4 perechi de ochelari 3D gratuiti.

Inainte sa merg mai departe cu aceasta lista vreau sa-ti spun ca eu personal imi iau majoritatea electronicelor de pe magazinele online. Chestia e ca e mult mai usor sa vezi care sunt mai ieftine, sa faci comparatii de preturi si asa mai departe. La televizoare – www.televizoarenova.com este site-ul unde ma documentez inainte sa-mi cumpar un televizor.

Al doilea televizor Smart 3D ieftin, este vorba de Philips 40PFH6510/88. Este un Smart TV 3D care ca si sistem de operare smart este dotat cu Android TV. Televizoarele smart cu Android sunt la Sony si Philips in acest moment. Imi place foarte mult la Android ca gama de aplicatii este foarte variata iar interfata este destul de usor de folosit. Insa iti recomand sa-ti iei un mouse si o tastatura wireless mai ales daca vrei sa stai pe net de pe televizor sau pe aplicatii gen Facebook, Skype sau alte app-uri de socializare.

La capitolul 3D tv-ul nu impresioneaza cu nimic insa nici nu dezamageste. Filmele 3D se vad foarte bine, imaginile clare cu culori naturale.

Pretul este aproape 2000 de lei insa nu depaseste aceasta suma. Daca crezi ca e putin cam mult cel mai bine e sa astepti perioadele din preajma sarbatorilor când majoritatea produselor electronice si aici mai ales televizoarele sunt de obicei la reducere de pret.

Insa din ce se aude pe net televizoarele 3D sunt pe cale de disparitie cel putin cele cu care am fost obisnuiti pana acum, asa ca nu stiu daca chiar are rost sa investesti intr-un astfel de tv.

Ei batrane cam asta a fost, acum fugi si ia-ti un teleu si nu mai pierde timpul pe Facebook :)))

A lot of parents are worried about this. When should they start potty training their child?

The actual truth is, that there is no right age for when you start toilet training your little one. There is a recommended age of 18 to 24 months, when you should think about teaching your child about the potty.

The age at which you start can have some influence in the training. For instance, if you’re potty training 2 year old girl it may seem easier than if your potty training a boy age 2 and 3. The thing is that girls have a “stay clean” attitude a lot earlier than boys.

Yes, boys don’t mind pooping in their pants while girls can’t stand it at a younger age.

But you need to realize that every child is different, some will be interested in the potty very early while others won’t show any readiness signs until almost 3 years old.

When you start potty training isn’t actually the biggest problem you need to worry about. What you need to do is once you see your toddler giving you signs that he or she is ready to start potty training, is to set a date and plan everything.

The more organized you are the easier potty training will be. You’ve probably heard about the 3-Day Potty Training method from Carol Cline. Well in order for that to work planning is key.

One of the first things you need to plan for is what are you going to use, a potty chair or a potty seat? If your child isn’t that tall yet go for a potty seat with ladder.

Another thing I tell parents to focus on is what type of rewards would get their child motivated the most. There are so many good ideas for toilet training rewards you can choose from. You’ve got reward charts and stickers, sweets, toys, songs, dances.

So when is the right age for your child to learn how to use the potty? He’s gonna “tell” you him self. Just watch out for the signs.
