Concept 2 Model E
The Best rowing machine ever made just got a makeover!
For a start it looks stylish with a sleek light metallic gray finish, accented with dark blue. But don’t let its style belie the toughness and stability of the Concept 2. Air resistant, it sits 20 inches off the floor for ease of access – of essential importance to anyone with back or mobility problems. It also is fully enclosed and incorporates a stainless steel track and nickel plated chain and effectively emulates the smooth sensation of rowing on water.
Another great thing about the Concept 2 is that it comes with a wireless compatible PM4 performance monitor, featuring Suunto heart rate technology that can be easily reached on the extended console arm. With automatic operation and an easy menu operation you can accurately monitor your heart rate, track distance, speed, pace, calories and watts with five display options. Several motivational features are available including an option of rowing against a virtual rower so you can learn about techniques, rowing challenges and a training forum. It’s also possible to pre set workouts and review past ones with a multiple language facility available.
But in case you’re worried about fitting all this technology into your house, the Concept 2 Model E Rowing Machine only requires an area of 9×4 feet with a 500 lb capacity. It’s easily assembled and can be separated into two parts should you want to store it or transport it anywhere, plus caster wheels make it fully mobile. It has a fully rechargeable battery pack and increased memory capacity If you’re going to buy one rowing machine in your life, make sure it’s this one.
Firestar 3g Sachet Energy Crystals release date
A revolutionary energy stimulating drink has just blasted on to the market in the form of Firestar Energy Booster and could provide a well-needed injection of vitality for many people.
Aimed at the adult market, the manufacturers Firestar Energy say that the new product, which is the culmination of two years R&D, uses pharmaceutical knowledge to develop a special Time Release Technology. The energy drink can be taken in crystal form without the need for water and has a slightly bitter after taste that places it in the health food bracket rather than confectionery. It’s also available in a nifty sachet that conveniently fits into the pocket or wallet.
Containing the equivalent caffeine of 4 espressos or two cans of energy drink, the Firestar Energy Booster packs a fair punch but is one of the safest products on the market due to the fact that the chemical compound is released over the period of four hours thereby eliminating the peaks and troughs associated with some energy drinks that often cause headaches and nausea.
Nor, according to the manufacturers, will the Firestar Energy Booster lead to diabetic or dental problems due to its low sugar content. It’s particularly suitable for adults working long hours, such as medical staff on night shifts, long-distance drivers who need to stay alert, sports enthusiasts who don’t want a load of high calorie liquid swilling around in the stomach when exercising, or indeed, anyone who has to burn the midnight oil.
One of the main attractions of the drink is the fact that it can be taken discretely – a wastepaper bin full of energy boosting cans sitting next to the desk could signal connotations of fatigue and overload to work colleagues whereas a slim sachet is more easily concealed about the person and swiftly taken. Plus, the Firestar Energy Booster’s very portability means it can be taken any time.
The Firestar Energy Booster can be bought by the sachet for £1.50 each. For retailers, there’s an added advantage; a display carton containing 40 sachets with a RRP of £60 weighs less than 150g and its base area of 8×10cm leaves more space for additional products like …er … cans of energy drinks?
