Hemingway's Cats The Album: Music for your Soul!

"Steven Jayme's Hemingway Cats is an absolute outstanding album - smooth, creamy, soulful and luscious! If you had to choose a female counterpart to describe Steven Jaymes, it would most definitely be Norah Jones. The man exudes huge talent both in voice and song writing ability. It' s not often an album like this comes your way. Hemingway's Cats is a true musical delight." Carl Lindgren Map Magazine

Steven Jaymes has been around - and it shows. Around the world and back again on his new album Hemingway's Cats. Recorded in New York, Sydney and Melbourne between sojourns to Mexico, Ireland, England and Japan, Hemingway's Cats has the classic Steven Jaymes gritty songwriter feel. From the moorish melody of title track Hemingway's Cats to the addictive Seven and the musical journey of Emily, Hemingway's Cats is a must have in any true music lovers collection.

Strength at Home : With Brisbane Personal Trainers!

To have a balanced approach to exercise, you need resistance training*. Many people when taking up exercise tend to go for a walk. While this exercises the cardiovascular system and gives low resistance strength work for the legs, it neglects to 'load' the upper body.

Osteoporosis is a major concern for Australians and it has been proven that resistance training helps significantly to increase bone density . Think of your bone density as superannuation for your body. The more you have in your fund, the longer it will last. The impact of the natural loss of calcium from the bones as we age is mimimised, if we do resistance training.

As we age or become sedentary we lose muscle. The old 'use it or lose it' theory. This decreases our metabolic rate and lowers our energy requirements which means we are more likely to store our energy as fat.Resistance training increases our muscle tissue which then increases our ability to burn body fat.

Resistance training also helps us in our everyday lives.It improves our posture and balance and eases household jobs like taking a lid off a jar,picking up a toddler,moving a couch or gardening.

You don't have to go to a gym to do strength work. A bench and a few dumbells can do the trick. It is possible to train without any equipment at all, using the body as resistance. Regular resistance training as little as 30 - 40 mins once a week can increase muscular strength and bone density, so everyone should have a chance at fitting it in with any lifestyle. For a correct program to suit your individual needs, you should consult a fitness professional.

Definition: Resistance Training- may be better known as strength/weight training, whereby a person aims to increase the strength of the body using particular movements with resistance. The heavier the weight, the higher the resistance. Sometimes loosely called toning exercises.

Brandon Raynor: The Ultimate Training in Massage and Natural Therapies!

Brandon Raynor established his School of Therapeutic Massage and Natural Therapies when he saw a need for more massage schools that trained people to access the deeper layers of tight muscle tissue and blocked "chi" that a good massage therapist achieves. Unfortunately many massage schools concentrate on only teaching hundreds of hours of anatomy and physiology and long drawn out routines of Swedish massage.This is not what Brandon believes makes a good massage therapist. A good massage therapist is able to seek out the muscle tension in a patient and get rid of it from its source which often involves understanding the meridian lines of acupressure and acupuncture, the reflexology zones of the feet and other advanced massage concepts, and putting them all together to make a wholistic massage therapy treatment.

Brandon's Massage and Naturopathy courses are designed to be simple and easy to learn, yet advanced in their training, techniques and application. Brandon found that a lot of people that went to study massage at other schools and colleges were coming out not feeling confident and had wasted a lot of class time studying unneccesary and irrelevant subjects.

Brandon's school and training methods have blossomed and now he has many teachers teaching his techniques all over the world in places such as London, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Montana, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, New Zealand, Vancouver, Toronto and far more.
