4 Secrets To Increasing Your Strength

Here at Hitch Fit, we help individuals lose weight, eat right, gain muscle, and become happy, healthy individuals. Today we’re going to talk about four tips to increasing your physical strength. No matter what program you use, there are always ways to improve on them and make sure you’re pumping as much iron as you can or want to. Check them out below!
1.       Change Positions
Either your hands or feet need to change it up once in awhile. By creating variations, you will work different areas of each muscle, and even different muscles. Get more definition, and increase your range of motion by trying out a different stance once a week. Additionally, move your hands closer together or further apart, and alternate between close, far, and mid-ranges each week. Ensuring that you work your muscle from every direction will ensure a firmer, stronger physique!
2.       Straight Lines Are Your Friends
Any lifting position, on a bench, squatting, or completing deadlifts, should involve the use of imaginary straight lines. The barbell needs to follow a straight line; this not only helps to improve strength, but is also puts your body into natural biomechanical alignment. Get your body strong and healthy by improving muscle strength and natural body alignment.  The strongest lifters in the world, when studied, were shown to lift in a perfect straight line. Like any new workout, it will be hard at first. Persevere, and you will be well on your way to increased strength!
3.       Unstable Surfaces Aren’t Helping You
While lifting on a yoga ball has become a way to build stability, this actually does nothing for your strength. Balancing should come from the ground up, not an unsteady surface up. Muscle size and quality come from working muscles, not attempting to stay steady while lifting. Also, lifting on an unbalanced surface requires your focus to shift from one task to the other. Since you aren’t focusing solely on one area of fitness, you will be lacking in both. Stick to lifting on your feet or a bench press to ensure you are appropriately working your muscles.

4.       Percentages Aren’t Everything
Though helpful, percentage charts shouldn’t represent the exact level to pursue next. Focus on that day’s work, and give it all you’ve got! Increasing in small portions is wise, of course, but don’t get out of a decent workout by sticking to the chart. If you can do more – lift it! Leave nothing but your sweat on the floor. Work those muscles as long as you can. You won’t regret it.

Yahoo Small Business-First Things First: Finding and Registering Your Website Domain

By | Small Business

---

You just started your first business. You take every opportunity to chat about it with family, friends and even strangers. You carry around a little notebook to jot down ideas for products, and fall asleep thinking about process improvements. Your excitement makes you feel like you are ready to conquer the world.Enjoying the entrepreneurial high  is a good thing. But don’t let it distract you from the some of the essential tasks in building your business, such as finding and registering your website domain name.
This oversight is more common than you might think. A fledgling business leader comes up with a brand name, a logo and a rough business model. Then they go online to purchase their domain name only to see my-super-cool-business.com is taken.
What’s one to do?
Luckily, there are options.

Use a Domain Search Tool

The first thing you’ll want to do is find out if the domain name you crave is available. Now, you could take the time to type in every permutation of your brand name into the address bar. But who has time for that?
A much better solution is to use a domain search tool. Just type your coveted domain name into the search bar and the tool will do the rest. You can see if your domain is available, if there are any applicable variations and how much the domain costs.
If you are ready to decide, just make your selections and hit checkout. You’ll be charged either monthly or annually—according to the provider’s terms of service.

Think Outside the Box

If you find the domain name you want is already taken, try tweaking it a bit. Instead of my-super-cool-business.com, you could opt for my-super-cool-company.com or my-ultra-cool-business.com.
Another idea is to add the industry in which you work. For instance, if you run a music magazine you could shift your domain request from latin-music-monthly.com to latin-music-magazine.com with very little effort. The same thing can be said for personal branding. Your-Real-Name.com might be taken, but Real-Name-Reality.com might be available and preferential.
Don’t be afraid to get creative. You might find a domain name that works for your organization better than just the brand name.

Register Your Domain for $9.95 with Yahoo

Purchase the Domain Name from the Owner

If you absolutely must have my-super-cool-business.com, there are a few options:

• Find out who owns the domain either by contacting the site owner or using a service to help you.

• Make an offer to buy the domain name, giving the owner some background about your operation. People might part with a domain name for a reasonable price when they understand you’re just starting up a small business.

• If the owner is unwilling to sell you the domain, don’t give up, camp out! Domain names expire, especially when the owner neglects to pay their dues. If this is the case, you can often snag your domain name, or buy it at auction.

Finding and registering your website domain name this way is more expensive and time consuming. Your best course of action is a domain search tool when time and money are issues.

Can a Sunlighten mPulse bELIEVE Sauna Help Fight Cancer?

By: Kevin Schmiterson

The search for the causes of various kinds of cancer goes on.  However, progress has been made, and the culprits appear to include toxins that accumulate in the body’s cells and cause changes at the cellular level.  These changes can be the beginnings of cancerous tumors.

We can’t avoid toxins.  The environment is full of them.  We breathe them, eat them and absorb them in other ways.  Our best defense against toxins is to remove them: to detoxify ourselves regularly.

Altering our diet can be an excellent way to detoxify.  Certain foods have a detoxifying effect, and watching our diet to avoid putting unwanted chemicals into our body can be quite helpful.  However, toxins will continue to accumulate over time, and we need a way to purge them in higher quantities.

Saunas have long been considered important in "purifying" the body and spirit.  For centuries, people have used saunas for this purpose.  But around 40 years ago, saunas made a giant leap forward in Japan with the introduction of the far infrared version and infrared sauna detoxification started to achieve prominence. 

A far infrared sauna operates in a fundamentally different way.  Traditional saunas, heated by wood, gas or oil, heat the air to very high temperature — 180 degrees Fahrenheit or more — to warm the body to an appropriate level to achieve detoxification.  Far infrared saunas do the same work, better, at much lower air temperatures.

Removing heavy metals and other harmful chemicals from the body’s cells requires that the toxins be released from fat cells into the lymphatic fluid, which carries the toxins to the surface of the skin via sweat.  In traditional saunas, the sweat generated by the high heat contains about 3 percent toxins.  Sweat generated by the warming from far infrared radiation contains about 20 percent toxins.  So far infrared saunas are far more effective at detoxification.

Detoxification using a far infrared sauna is very safe.  Infrared radiation from infrared sauna heaters is the same as infrared radiation from the sun.  It is not ultraviolet radiation, which can cause burning and cell damage.  Infrared radiation, in contrast, is perfectly safe.  Yet it is able to liquefy far more subcutaneous fat than heat from a traditional sauna and therefore release more toxins.  In the process, it has the added benefit of increased sauna weight loss.

Infrared sauna benefits go far beyond detoxification, as important as the process is to helping us stay healthy and preventing serious illness, such as cancer.  These saunas are also extremely effective at treating certain skin conditions, alleviating pain from arthritis and even rheumatoid arthritis, improving heart health, increasing circulation and helping with conditions such as yeast infections.

If it is true that accumulated toxins contribute to the development of cancer, and this does appear to be the case, then far infrared saunas have a place in prevention and, perhaps, in treatment of the disease.  More research is needed, of course, but the prospects look good.

 Since 2010, the mPulse bELIEVE sauna is the world’s only full spectrum infrared sauna with smart technology, unlocking all the health benefits associated with near, mid and far infrared heat.

New York State Police Help Build Homes To Celebrate 100th Anniversary, and Differences Between Social Work And Charity Work

Presented on US Sports Net By Vimeo!

Differences Between Social Work And Charity Work

By: Susan Mathisen

People by and large mistake social work to mean charity work, which is quite a wrong concept. Charity work is just one sector of the field. The main scope of charity work lies in helping people who are in dire straits, attain a decent standard of living and having their rights protected. Social work is rooted in ancient civilizations and world religions. Poverty alleviation, health care, sustainable development, legal aid, domestic violence, stress management, education, addiction, child abuse and homelessness are just a few sectors of this increasing common profession.

Social work can entail something as simple as helping an invalid to cross a street, to providing psychological help to someone who has been abused. Social care industries are not just limited to helping the poor; people who are well off, also turn to social help when they are caught in circumstances that they cannot get out of on their own. An addict or his family may look for social help to get out of addiction. A patient with an incurable disease may need counseling..

Business Video Hosting, Marketing and Analytics with Vimeo

Some types of social work do not require any formal education in the field, including classroom or online education. For example, an educated woman with time on her hands may decide to teach poor children. A doctor or a nurse may decide to treat poor patients in their spare time, just to give a few examples.

Governments in developed countries have departments that do social work. However, in under developed countries it is mostly non-government organizations and individuals responsible for these duties. There a number of national and international social organizations. Rarely does a human being who can help someone in need, shun from doing so and that's the crux of social work. Some social care is conducted in the field where specialists work in specific sectors with the people of the area. Other social workers work from offices, writing papers to generate aid for social work; conducting research and advocating social work at various levels in governments.

Qualified social workers are employed by governments, and by social aid organizations. Some individuals have started their own social help organizations and have volunteers who assist them. A fine example of a social worker is the Nobel Laureate Mohammad Yunus of Bangladesh, who has done some marvelous work in poverty alleviation. He started out by helping people in a village and went on to establish a bank that focuses on helping poor women.

Joel Osteen Featuring: Victoria Osteen - Make Time Alone with God

The way to develop an intimate relationship with God, a relationship where you hear His voice and let Him mold and make you into the person He wants you to be, is when you push away the distractions and simply sit at His feet. Perhaps take a Scripture and just ponder over it and listen to what He is saying. Perhaps you sit quietly in His presence and say, “God, I love You today. Thank You for this day. Father, I want You to reveal more of Yourself to me.” Whatever that intimacy looks like for you, the only thing that will satisfy the needs of your soul and give vision for your life is to set yourself apart and sit at the feet of Jesus. This is message #712, "Make Time Alone With God", by Victoria Osteen. For more inspirational messages, visit https://www.JoelOsteen.com/Messages

Surrounded by Favor

Joel Osteen

When we receive a promotion, or meet someone special, or the medical report turns around, we know that's the favor of God. But when we face challenges and things are coming against us, it doesn't seem like we have favor. Having favor doesn't mean you won't have obstacles; favor is what's keeping those challenges from defeating you. Favor is what's keeping that sickness from taking your life, favor is what's stopping your child from ruining his destiny, favor is what protected you in that accident. You may not see it, but you have favor in the storm. The psalmist says, "You surround them with your favor as with a shield" (Psalm 5:12). His favor is with you in the good times and the tough times.
In the Scripture, a man named Zerubbabel was in charge of rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem that had been destroyed years earlier. King Cyrus of Persia put out a decree to rebuild it. Everything was going fine until they had laid the foundation, then the opposition came. People who didn't want it rebuilt started paying people to cause trouble, stirring up all kinds of turmoil. Zerubbabel could have thought, "God, I'm doing what You asked me to do, and I thought we had Your favor, but all this opposition is coming against us." Then the enemies sent a letter to the new king of Persia saying, "The people who are rebuilding the temple are evil and are going to rebel against you. Stop them or you will lose everything." This lie worked, and the work was shut down.
It looked as though the enemy was getting the best of Zerubbabel. But when the king had his men search the archives, they found the original decree given by Cyrus. Then the king issued a new decree to the opposition that said, "Let them rebuild the temple. Not only are you not to hinder them, but you are to use funds from the royal treasury to pay the full construction costs, and you are to take them food and supplies every day." What the enemy meant for harm, God turned for good.
You may have people and circumstances coming against you, but God knows how to cause it to backfire. Right now favor is pushing back forces of darkness, favor is keeping your enemies from defeating you. As with Zerubbabel, you know a secret—you have favor in the storm. You're going to see what God does behind the scenes. People who were against you are suddenly going to be for you; problems are about to turn around. Unexpected blessings are coming your way: increase, promotion, breakthroughs, healing, vindication, and the fullness of your destiny.
