Gyroscopic grip exercise ball
by Markfromcali inhave you guys seen these things?
we just got them in at work and basically they spin both horozontally and vertically, up to somewhere between 9,000 and 13,000 rpm.
after getting enough of a spin you turn it side to side, kind of following the shifting of the weight/force like shaking a half empty bottle drink and it can get really fast.

Climbing machines
by Markfromcali ini just joined a gym and while taking the tour i happend to notice it, which the guy didn't point out.
i would imagine it would be a nice full body workout, more so than ellipticals with the handles - even if you look like you're training to be spiderman or something.
is it designed for cardio?

New video/DVD releases - updated thread
by Markfromcali inwe have these once in a while, but i thought instead of just asking everyone which ones they liked i will post a list of all the current new releases and then update it maybe weekly.
of course, this would be limited to the u.s. - but it would ultimately be an exhaustive list over time.
so little by little we can cover all the new releases and people can comment on it if they've seen it.

i'd love to get a hold of a print or something.. so for those of you with an art background, could you possibly point me in a certain direction, maybe atleast identify the era or whatever?
i know there's atleast one artist on this board - (seven?

the best and the honest
by Markfromcali ini just saw before sunset, which was good btw, but i really wanted to post this one quote which caught my attention:.. i had this idea of my best self, you know?
and i wanted to pursue that ... even if it might have been overriding my honest self.. .
and isn't that what much of being religious and spiritual is about, trying to be a good, righteous person - the best you can be?
