June 10th, 2011 No comments

In-home Zumba, but bigger and edgier, better than ever. Here is the latest and greatest from Zumba and an overview on the New Zumba Fitness Exhilarate: The Ultimate Experience DVD Set.

Just when Zumba enthusiasts were getting used to all the fun with burning calories and learning new dance moves, a brand new set emerges!

Now I could recap all the benefits one reaps from exercise in general, let alone Zumba, but anyone can find that anywhere on the web. There are different Zumba workouts for everyone and every fitness level and age, from active young children to those of you in your golden years. There is something for everyone! You have the freedom to choose what is best for you.

In the Ultimate Experience DVD Set, there are seven DVDs. This new DVD collection just rocks the in-home fitness experience with new design, lighting and blood pumping music to get you going and motivated to obtain your fitness and health goals.

IF you are new to Zumba, this new set will be an asset to you. The introduction DVD called Step by Step, breaks down the steps, and you can view the steps from the front or the back. Or, if you prefer, you can just do the routine without the dance “cues” from the instructors. It is your basic guide to break down the steps. Here you will learn a total of 24 steps.

The second DVD is Activate. In this DVD, you take the basic steps you just learned in the intro DVD and put it together for a 45 minute, calorie burning, fun and addicting workout to get you started. Bottom line here, it’s easy to follow.

The third DVD is called Ripped. In this DVD, you will engage in body sculpting with the toning sticks, which are included, and a chair. You will feel the burn here. It’s designed to build lean muscle and sculpt your entire body.

The fourth DVD is called Exhilarate. This is the original, full length fitness party. Get ready to go all out here. This is an hour-long of a full-blown endorphin release!

The fifth DVD is called Rush. This is a quick 20 minute workout to get your blood pumping and get your heart beating. This is great if you’re in a rush, but you want to get a quick workout in or for a quick pick-me-up.

The sixth DVD is called Mix. In this DVD, they teach you steps to rhythms all around the world, and they fuse them altogether for an intense workout. Get ready for exposure to different cultures and serious calorie burning. There are guest instructors and live music accompaniment from a world-renowned percussionist.

And the final DVD is called Fitness Concert. Here, you will experience the Zumba workout as if you were at a concert! This is a lot of fun. You will be deep in the party and hearing the crowd cheer. That’s enough to get anyone going.

Overall, I believe the New Zumba Fitness Exhilarate: The Ultimate Experience DVD Set has something for everyone, from the novice to the Zumba veteran.

You have options with the variety of the 7 DVDS. This set will soon become very popular.

Acne Medicine – My Experience with OTC medicine

August 25th, 2010 No comments

Did you know that over 180,000 people search for information on acne everyday, out of which 77,000 want to know more about acne medicine ? And that there are over 22 million sites talking about acne, and acne medicine, treatment and products ? This tells me a few things. One, there are many people out there suffering from acne, and they are interested in knowing what kind of acne medicine is available to help them cure their problem. Equally, there are millions of available acne treatments and products out there. Obviously, no one acne medicine is suitable for any one person then.


First, a quick review on what acne is. It is what the layperson calls “pimples” or “zits”. There are different forms of acne, and all can occur at the same time, though one stage does not necessarily progress to the next. There are comedones, or blackheads and whiteheads, as they are usually called. Then there are acne spots caused by bacteria, leading to inflammation, resulting in a red possibly painful swelling called a papule. If the papule does not subside spontaneously, a pustule may form. This heals by discharging pus. A severe enough reaction may cause a lot of deep damage, leaving behind scars.


Acne medicine has different purposes. There is acne medicine to prevent acne. There is medicine to prevent infection of the acne. And there is medicine to prevent scarring from the acne. Finally, there is medicine to minimise the effects of acne scarring, should scars form.


Acne medicine can be divided into those that are applied to the skin – called topical acne medicine, and those that are taken orally – called systemic medicine.


Topical treatments come in the form of creams and lotions. There are two main types of topical acne medicine . The keratolytics , which act by peeling off the top horny outer layer of the skin, so helping to dislodge the comedones ( blackheads and whiteheads), and the antiseptics, which attempt to get rid of harmful bacterial action. Examples of keratolytic acne medicine include benzyl peroxide, Retin A, and sulphur. Examples of antispetic acne medicine include iodine ( eg Betadine), chlorhexidine, zinc salts, which are frequently incorporated into acne creams and lotions, azelaic acid.


One of the main problems with topical acne medicine is that they can be rather harsh. They can cause skin irritation and inflammation. Some, like retin A cannot be used during pregnancy. Sulphur containing acne medicines can be extremely smelly, like rotton eggs !


I can still remember the days when acne used to rule my life. I was so desperate for a cure I must have tried every over-the-counter acne medicine there was available. And there were plenty. That was the time when nobody thought acne was a serious problem. Everyone got it. Nobody had died from it. So it never occured to me that maybe I would need help.


It started with a few small spots. So I tried the standard sulphur-based acne medicine. I would apply it just over the offending spots and wait patiently till they went away. But they gradually got worse, with the number of red spots extending to different areas of my face. Soon it covered large areas of my face. I followed the instructions for how to use the acne medicine. I would cover my face with it faithfully every night, and went to bed smelling of sulphur. Even my pillows would smell of it. But I would hope and pray the medicine would do its wonderful work, and my acne would be gone. I always awoke the next day disappointed. I would wash my face, apply on a fresh layer of acne medicine and go about my day. I finally gave up when someone pointed out to me they always knew when I was coming, because the smell of the acne medicine announced my arrival !


I decided to try the benzyl peroxide-based acne medicine next. At least these did not smell of sulphur. The instructions seemed easy enough to follow. Just apply the acne medicine twice a day after washing the face and the acne would be gone within three to five days. It was again with great hope that I applied the new acne medicine. The first night, nothing happened. By the second night, my face was beginning to get a little itchy. By the third night, the side effects of the acne medicine were causing me to have a rather dry and red face. By the fourth night, my poor face was positively uncomfortable. By the fifth night, I gave up. The acne was still there. This acne medicine had not worked either.


Things just got from bad to worse. The small little red spots progressed to big spots. Big spots joined with other spots to form entire continents. There was hardly a clear space on my face. My confidence dipped to an all-time low. Acne ruled my life. It was the first thing I saw when I awoke, and the last thing I saw when I went to bed. Well meaning friends and relatives constantly commented on it and had lots of advice of what type of acne medicine would work best. I had tried everything.


Generally topical acne medicines work well for those with mild acne. A good number can be simply bought over-the-counter without the need of a doctor’s prescription. And for many, this may be the only treatment required for acne.
