  Whilst innocently surfing today I came across one of those ‘I lost x amount – here’s my secret,’ websites. They everywhere, so I decided to Google ‘Acai Cleanse Scams’ and found the following link for a blog by a guy called Waffles.

  He has listed many scam acai berry and colon cleanse combo sites which basically say you can lose a lot of weight, get a free trial then charge you a lot for shipping or worse still, keep on charging your credit card for other things you did not want or have knowledge of.

• Is Twitter dead?

  The other day I was thinking about my use of  Twitter. Often it does appear from my tweets I use it for comments, conversation and saying nutty stuff but I also use it as a way to promote people I believe in, gain new information on subjects and where I can, of course tweet my own updates. Yesterday and today proved the power of twitter to me with two different occurrences.

  Firstly, in case you were living under a rock, you can’t of failed to notice how Twitter maxed out yesterday due to all the Superbowl talk. You didn’t have to watch it to feel like you saw it as the tweets were rolling in thick and fast about each teams fight for victory. In fact someone named it Twitterbowl – it was quite something to behold, even if it was annoying that tweets were slow to update or would time out completely. Millions came together to share their thoughts.

  Today I was minding my own business (who knew) when Kimmoy, the Curvy Coach, tweeted something about her Read the rest of this entry »

• I found the VibroGym!

  Yes, they tried to hide  it (hehe) from me but I finally found it at my gym – and was so happy to finally try it out. The VibroGym (vibration plate) apparently gives your body a whole work out, as well as work on circulation, cellulite and a whole host of other things.

  I got on and adjusted the settings and BOOM -  I was being vibrated. It doesn’t vibrate you for very long though and I could only really cope with two short blasts on the thing. It made even my throat vibrate which is a very strange feeling indeed. It kind of felt like I was choking for a millisecond.

  I probably wouldn’t  use this as my soul item at the gym. I snuck it in between the leg press and the bi/triceps machine. And I’d already been on the bike and running machine before hand.  It says it works best with cardio excersise included.

  The vibrogym requires no effort at all – well just the ability to actually keep any food down, possibly. I would recommend you try it if you have it at your gym – just to see. But it does feel like you’re cheating a bit. I mean what the point of exercise if you can’t feel it working? Like I said, use it in conjuntion with other equipment.

  Let me know if you’ve tried it?
