In Pool Exercise Bike - - Its more about exercise than having fun in water

For those who want to bike but also want to be in the pool at the same time, this In Pool Exercise Bike combines the best of both worlds. 

The In Pool Exercise is more about exercise than having fun. This underwater two-wheeler is designed to help build strength and endurance with less strain on the body. In fact, this is apparently what professional cyclists use when they’re in training. The bike also has a LCD monitor (which is waterproof, of course) that displays time, speed, distance and calories burned so that you keep track on your status. For those wondering, the company says that it’s made from “durable nylon, ABS, and fiberglass,” guaranteeing that the device won’t rust in the pool.

Fivelements, Puri Ahimsa, Bali: Ofers Private Little Villas Themed After the Five Elements

Behind an antique village tucked amidst rice fields lies Fivelements Bali. Instead of a traditional luxury hotel, Fivelements, Puri Ahimsa, offers private little villas themed after — you guessed it — the five elements.

Everything at Fivelements Bali is designed to be in harmony with the natural environment. The property is covered in lush plants, walkways that stretch elegantly over fish-filled ponds, and a series of Balinese-style huts that house guests, act as healing centers, yoga shalas, and as meditation pavilions. The tallest structure on the Fivelements Bali grounds is the two-story open-air restaurant, the Sakti Dining Room. The vegan food, which is mostly raw, is presented as if each dish and beverage will be photographed for an international culinary magazine. 

The element-themed rooms have beds cloaked by cascading mosquito screens, outdoor bathrooms that include showers surrounded by flower-covered stone walls and pebbles instead of tiles, and big-stone bathtubs with color-changing lights.

The healing center brings a grassroots feel to the luxury, as it not only offers pampering, but esoteric treatments from authentic Balians who facilitate sacred healings.

 

"The holistic Sacred Arts programmes at Puri Ahimsa involve movement, creative expression and self-awareness. The individual or group sessions are multi-disciplinary and are guided by specialists in Meditation, Yoga, Somatic Therapy, Aikido, Dance, Vibrational Healing Music, Drama, Visual Arts and Healing Dance Aquatic Bodywork. These programmes help us to reconnect with our authentic selves, opening our bodies and minds to newfound trust, freedom and joy."

Thermo Mirror from NEC Avio - - Read Your Temperature by Just looking at It

It’s the time of year when it seems like everyone is getting sick. I spent nearly two weeks battling the flu myself not too long ago. One of the annoyances while trying to fight off illness is taking your temperature. You have to deal with a thermometer, which usually means sticking something under your tongue, waiting, then washing it off. After all, you don’t want those old germs going right back in your mouth the next time you check your temperature.

NEC Avio knows how annoying this can be, and are working on a device called the Thermo Mirror. All you need to do is look into the mirror for a moment, and it will give you a reading using infrared thermography. Granted, the last thing you want to do when you’re sick is stare at yourself in the mirror, but I think you’ll live. The downside here is that they’re going to want around $1,200 for the device when it launches later this year.

'i-dration': A Concept Fitness Water Bottle Tells You That You're Thirsty - - To Be Launched by Cambridge Consultants in CES 2011

We as a trendy blog have always stressed the need for maintain great skin and hair quality in order to look good in those Burberry tops and Prada jackets. Thus, we have been reminding you dear readers that doing everything possible and not drinking enough water tantamounts to, well, sagging skin and wrinkly foreheads. However, most of us are just too lazy to slurp down at least 3 litres of water every day.

Cambridge Consultants will launch the i-dration, which is a concept fitness water bottle that helps you to “know” when you are thirsty. It is packed with sensors that communicate with an app on your phone. The bottle measures the temperatu5re in your room, the amount of fluid you have drunk and how often you did so and also use the phone’s accelerometer to check how much you worked out and if your body is running short of water and that you are dehydrated.

If you are thirsty, it shows a blue light and you would need to gulp down loads of water in order to put you back to a hydrated level. It is a round-about way of learning that you are thirsty. I mean, why can’t one just “know” that one is thirsty when they get the pangs of thirst? It shall be announced at the CES 2011.
