How To Get Fit In 2010
To tackle the new year fit and healthy, you do not need to train like a champion. But a little more exercise in everyday life cannot hurt.
To become and stay fit, you won’t need to torture yourself. 30 minutes more exercise in your daily life is all you need. And according to U.S. scientists, this is high on the list of resolutions for the new year of most Americans. Half an hour is enough to trim your body into shape and to protect against the most common diseases of civilization.
To achieve this goal, the team led by Professor Peter Brubaker from Wake Forest University has put together the following task list:
• 30 minutes a day is the goal. You don’t have to be on the move for half an hour at a stretch. A short ride with the bike for shopping, a short walk – very quickly you’ll accumulate half an hour before you even know it.
• Walks are suitable for most people and it’s by far the easiest way to get moving.
• Get a pedometer, it’ll motivate you and it’s actually fun to watch the calories increase. Recent studies have shown to increase the activity level by 25 percent.
• Write down your everyday activities in a notebook. This increases the motivation.

Dwarf 360 Omni directional speaker
The main disadvantage of your everyday speaker is that they are virtually sending sound in one direction only. Turn the speaker slightly away from you or step to the side of it, or simply put them out of center and it can sound like it’s on the other side of a wall and the stereo balance is off.
360 degrees of sound is just one cool feature of the USA Navy designed Dwarf 360° Omni-Directional USB Powered Vibrating Speakers. That’s right. You’d think the Navy would be working on torpedoes and periscopes. Instead they’ve been tweaking speakers to create the ultimate submarine dance-parties.
The Dwarf is small and can fit anywhere, from your desk, to a table, to the fireplace mantle. But to utilize the 360 degrees of sound you’ll want to put this right in the center of your place. The speakers can hook to an iPod, iPhone, PC, laptop, DVD player, CD, or MP3 players so you’re covered wherever you do end up putting it. And here’s the vibrating part: whatever the dwarf sits on, it will vibrate and use to amplify sound. Try it on a wood table, a glass table, the floor, your cat! Each will produce a different quality sound.
The dwarf includes a USB cable and a mini-USB port. Perhaps best of all, they only cost around $25. Perfect holiday gift? We think so. Check them out here.
