The Human Touch iJoy Massage Chair: Like No Other
Life can be hectic, crazy, busy and stressful, but when it is time to relax you have to look no further than the iJoy massage chair from Human Touch, the world leader in massage technology. The iJoy is a deluxe, high quality massage chair that will provide you with years of relaxing, soothing, and invigorating massages, at a remarkably affordable price.
The secret of the iJoy massage chair lies with the patented Human Touch massage system that closely replicates therapeutic techniques used by chiropractors and massage professionals. This advance technology employs a three motor mechanism that follows the contours of your spine. To this unique motion, Human Touch has added a quad-roller assembly that performs like the hands of an expert masseuse. The result is a multidimensional massage that can therapeutically boost the circulatory and immune systems, and feels incredibly good.
Only chairs with the Human Touch massage system, like the iJoy massage chair, can replicate all major massage modes. These include rolling, which gently relieves tension and loosens muscles along the spine. Kneading, a circular pressing motion that goes deeper to lift and stretch muscles for improved circulation. Percussion, a rapidly tapping motion that flexes spinal joints, relieves pressure, and invigorates the entire back. And, compression, an exclusive Human Touch feature that firmly massages muscles on each side of the spine for improved mobility and posture. The various massage modes that the iJoy massage chair has are programable through the included controller to give you just the touch you prefer, exactly where you want it on your back.
Recline the iJoy massage chair automatically and get comfortable with a luxurious head pillow, removable softening pad, and rich soft suede upholstery. With three preprogrammed modes you can kick back and enjoy a soothing upper, lower, or full back massage with just a push of a button. These beautiful chairs are available in black and cashew colors to compliment any room in your home. Once you've sat in and used an iJoy massage chair, you will become a convinced that robotic massage chair technology has, at long last, the human touch.
Having an iJoy massage chair is like having your own personal masseuse. If you have never tried one out before, you deserve to give yourself permission to splurge on yourself and give it a try. You will be amazed at how amazing these chairs really do feel. The first time you do, you'll be sold. The various modes described above can even be combined on some Human Touch massage chairs. The higher end chairs have even more modes, like stretching (emulates traction by gently stretching and decompressing the spine), customized roller width adjustment, and calf kneading.
Life is short and stressful enough, so why not do something nice for yourself or someone you love and get an iJoy massage chair. They are not only beneficial to your mental and physical health, they are also a beautiful piece of furniture that you will be proud to have in your home. Don't hesitate. The Human Touch iJoy massage chair is truly like no other. Once you use one and learn how truly wonderful and relaxing it can be to get a robotic massage you'll never look back. People may even wonder why you walk around with a little grin on your face.

Orange County Personal Trainers 5 Tips to a Better Triathlon
Question:
I need your advice…I am increasing in my mileage like a crazy women, but I feel good about it and I am doing great…except one thing…my long run today was 20mi =) in 3hrs, it was a great run except, my legs were giving up on me…I had enough energy to keep going but once I slowed down it was like, holy crap this freaking hurts, I will tell you though the pain was in my quads and hip flexors…is there anything I can do in my training to strengthen my legs…I feel like I am doing great runs thruout the week…maybe more sprints? or try to incorporate more strength training…if that is the case, then what can I do? I appreciate your help! Oh and the count down begins…4 weeks till the big day…26.2!!!
P.S. I hope you are doing great!
Answer:
Here are 5 tips to turn your Tri into a Win!
1. mental ability. Your mental ability to continue when it is painful and finish what you have started. The continue when you are in pain will come from deep within–maybe even a spiritual level. The finishing what you have started may be helped by visualizing the whole race and specifically the finish line. Keep watching yourself cross that finish line in a happy, winning state of mind.
2. muscular development. You should now have a plethora of Type 1 muscle fibers. These red, oxygen fueled, muscle fibers are smaller and become less fatigued, while working for longer periods of time, because they are fueled by oxygen instead of your other muscle fibers which are Type 2a and b, which are non-oxygen utilizing muscle fibers. My suggestion would be to spend less time in the gym and more time on the road to create less use of your anaerobic muscles and more use of your aerobic muscle fibers. You may only spend one or two 30 min sessions in the gym, just to work speed and technique and still be able to perform huge on race day. The closer to race day the more you want to train for a race not a body-building show. ( make sense?)
3. Use a foam roller, the stick and or massage to break up adhesions and increase range of motion in muscle tissue. These techniques will help you perform better, reduce muscular imbalances and help prepare your body for a hard workout or race. You can use before any event to “wake up” your muscles and increase range of motion over time. The foam roller offers an effective, inexpensive, and convenient way to both reduce adhesion and scar tissue accumulation.
4. energy conversion. There are three issues here: lactate threshold, oxygen assimilation, and glucose usage (catabolism and anabolism). The lactate threshold can be trained through hill repeats until you think your legs are going to fall off and then continue to eek out a couple more, training your mind, body and spirit to adapt to the chaotic stress through its physiology, biochemistry, mental capacity and spirit. The oxygen assimilation is done through progressive overload and breathing techniques while you run and when you visualize your run (meditation). The glucose usage may be your biggest barrier, because of the distances and times you are running. Anything longer than an hour and a half is sure to bring about a catabolic state (this is where your body feeds off of its muscles, fat, and stuff because there are no glucose or glycogen reserves left). My recommendation would be to consume something with sugars, electrolytes, and water every 30 min. Something I have used in the past is Accelerade. I have also used goo, cliff bars, and powerade. One time I was hard up and cramping so I went to a corner store and put salt, sugar packets and water into my bottle and kept making it and drinking it until I was good again.
5. Our daily lives at the office and in front of the computer reak havoc on our bodies. Add hours of running, biking and swimming and most people develop tightness, weakness and poor posture in certain areas. Stretching your calves, hip flexors, glutes, hamstrings, lower back, chest and shoulders can help increase power, decrease pain and reduce the incidence of injury over time. I’d recommend using the foam roller pre exercise and using static stretching post workout.
SO there ya have it. 5 simple, effective ways to turn your next Triathlon into an enjoyable, successful experience!
