Hemingway's Cats The Album: Music for your Soul!
"Steven
Jayme's Hemingway Cats is an absolute outstanding album
- smooth, creamy, soulful and luscious! If you had to
choose a female counterpart to describe Steven Jaymes,
it would most definitely be Norah Jones. The man exudes
huge talent both in voice and song writing ability.
It' s not often an album like this comes your way. Hemingway's
Cats is a true musical delight." Carl Lindgren
Map Magazine
Steven Jaymes has been around - and it shows. Around
the world and back again on his new album Hemingway's
Cats. Recorded in New York, Sydney and Melbourne between
sojourns to Mexico, Ireland, England and Japan, Hemingway's
Cats has the classic Steven Jaymes gritty songwriter
feel. From the moorish melody of title track Hemingway's
Cats to the addictive Seven and the musical journey
of Emily, Hemingway's Cats is a must have in any true
music lovers collection.
Check
out Steven Jaymes performing live on "Mornings
with Kerri-Anne" on Channel 9 this Thursday the

Strength
at Home : With Brisbane Personal Trainers!
To
have a balanced approach to exercise, you need resistance
training*. Many people when taking up exercise tend
to go for a walk. While this exercises the cardiovascular
system and gives low resistance strength work for the
legs, it neglects to 'load' the upper body.
Osteoporosis is a major concern for Australians and
it has been proven that resistance training helps significantly
to increase bone density . Think of your bone density
as superannuation for your body. The more you have in
your fund, the longer it will last. The impact of the
natural loss of calcium from the bones as we age is
mimimised, if we do resistance training.
As we age or become sedentary we lose muscle. The old
'use it or lose it' theory. This decreases our metabolic
rate and lowers our energy requirements which means
we are more likely to store our energy as fat.Resistance
training increases our muscle tissue which then increases
our ability to burn body fat.
Resistance training also helps us in our everyday lives.It
improves our posture and balance and eases household
jobs like taking a lid off a jar,picking up a toddler,moving
a couch or gardening.
You don't have to go to a gym to do strength work. A
bench and a few dumbells can do the trick. It is possible
to train without any equipment at all, using the body
as resistance. Regular resistance training as little
as 30 - 40 mins once a week can increase muscular strength
and bone density, so everyone should have a chance at
fitting it in with any lifestyle. For a correct program
to suit your individual needs, you should consult a
fitness professional.
Definition: Resistance Training- may be
better known as strength/weight training, whereby a
person aims to increase the strength of the body using
particular movements with resistance. The heavier the
weight, the higher the resistance. Sometimes loosely
called toning exercises.

Brandon Raynor: The Ultimate
Training in Massage and Natural Therapies!
Brandon
Raynor established his School of Therapeutic Massage
and Natural Therapies when he saw a need for more massage
schools that trained people to access the deeper layers
of tight muscle tissue and blocked "chi" that a good
massage therapist achieves. Unfortunately many massage
schools concentrate on only teaching hundreds of hours
of anatomy and physiology and long drawn out routines
of Swedish massage.This is not what Brandon believes
makes a good massage therapist. A good massage therapist
is able to seek out the muscle tension in a patient
and get rid of it from its source which often involves
understanding the meridian lines of acupressure and
acupuncture, the reflexology zones of the feet and other
advanced massage concepts, and putting them all together
to make a wholistic massage therapy treatment.
Brandon's Massage and Naturopathy courses are designed
to be simple and easy to learn, yet advanced in their
training, techniques and application. Brandon found
that a lot of people that went to study massage at other
schools and colleges were coming out not feeling confident
and had wasted a lot of class time studying unneccesary
and irrelevant subjects.
Brandon's school and training methods have blossomed
and now he has many teachers teaching his techniques
all over the world in places such as London, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Boston, Montana, Melbourne, Brisbane,
Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, New Zealand, Vancouver, Toronto
and far more.
