K2 and MMA

Although K2 Fitness kettlebells have already been an integral part of many MMA fighters' regime, we are now entering into direct sponsership with some.

We are sponsering Lyle Sansoucie of Team DNA. He will be fighting in the NAAFS in his upcoming bout Aug 23 at The 2nd Annual Dan Bobish Classic in Cleveland, OH. Lyle is an awesome up and coming 145 lb' er, his record is 3-0 and he won his last two fight by TKO in less than 30 seconds each! Look for Lyle to be a top Pro very soon.

We are very pleased to be assisting Lyle in his pursuit of MMA glory and look forward to a long relationship with Lyle and Team DNA

Social Networking

Social networking has long been an important aspect of life, healthy relationships and business.
Recent advents in technology has brought social networking to a point where we don't even have to get out of the house nor actually "meet" anyone to "social network." Through sites like MySpace, Facebook, etc., we can "network" with people all over the world and never actually meet them.

Is this a good thing or bad thing? I think the answer to that question depends upon who we are individually and who are we trying to "social network" with and why.
If a person is too lazy or introverted to get out and actually meet people, then the "online social networking"is a bad thing. On the other hand, if someone is very outgoing and simply wants to multiply their efforts in getting to know people and business contacts, then it seems that online networking is good.

That brings me to the main point of this post. A friend of mine has created a specialized "social networking" site called: GymClik
As the name implies, it's a site for folks with a penchant for health, exercise, atheltics, nutrition, etc. It's in the early stages at the moment, Beta test to be exact. But go ahead and visit and sign up. I'm sure it will become very popular in the next few months.

Workout Music

OK, so I'm behind the times a bit when it comes to workout music. I've had an MP3 player for years but, never used it when working out. It was too bulky, no good way to attatch it to my belt or arm, etc., etc. I work out in my garage gym when I'm home and have a radio there but, am forced to use commercial gyms AND their stupid music when I'm on the road.

NO MORE !!!!!

I received an IPod for Fathers' Day and man, do I LOVE IT ! About half the size of my ancient MP3 player and holds 8 gig of music. (I had to swap memory cards in my old one.)

One problem though that hasn't changed from the old player;
Do I just have REALLY big ear holes, or are almost all the earbuds crap? I had never been able to find any that would stay put.
UNTIL...... One day on a "mission" to find some decent earbuds, a gal at BestBuy recommended either the "Skull Candy - Smokin' Bud Ear Bud Headphones" or the "JVC - Marshmellow Stereo Ear Bud Headphones."

I looked both of them over very closely. The Skull Candy ones were almost ten bucks more and had a narrower frequency response range. The JVC Marshmellow; well, great price, great frequency response range, but "just look at those fruity-tooty pastel colors.!"
Well, I am a man of functionality and since I really didn't expect them to meet my needs anyway (staying in my ears) I bought the JVCs.

I'll have to say I have been very surprised! They stay in great, they sound terrific, and no one (yet) has given me any crap about the fruity color (I got the blue ones).
And having one's own music really does make a difference in the quality of a workout.

I'd highly recommend these ear buds to anyone, and recommend to JVC.......make some in some NORMAL colors please, like black and white.
