How Important Is Leadership Development In Business?

By Bart Icles

Executive coaching and leadership training are two great ways to improve productivity in the work place. These techniques can help train employees to perform at a higher level and raise the overall value of the company. In order for this to happen, the employee must be willing to take direction and constructive criticism.

Many times, we have had managers and leaders ask us, What do you do when you have tried to coach and counsel an employee about a performance concern, and the employee has not responded? This can be a very uncomfortable situation for both the employee and his superior. It is essential that the coach and the employee have a sit down talk and get everything on the table.

We have seen far too many cases when the leader has not tried to communicate his concerns into words. Many leaders look for the quick fix and lack on explaining important specifics. When the problem does not improve, the supervisor is mad, and the employee is confused.

One of the most important things to having a successful company is communication between employees and their managers. The only way leadership training and executive coaching will be effective is with trust and communication between team members.

Many people in leadership positions don't understand the entire principle of coaching. Unfortunately, we have seen many cases when the leader coaches his/her employees in a one shot effort. The manager is usually disappointed when he does not see good results. Inspiring and training your employees takes a lot of effort and time. It is a significant investment, but can be the difference between taking your company to the next level. Coaching requires regular ongoing discussions and experiences to achieve the level of support and cooperation needed.

In some work settings employees have become extremely use to heavy authority and strict procedures. Many times, this is not an environment conducive to leadership development. In this situation, employees usually don't feel attached to the job or organization. They lack true desire to improve and become an active part of the team. There are many examples of organizations that have very low performance in this type of a firm. Probable the best thing a leader can do is pull back and reexamine the entire working setting. Management needs to reestablish the company goals and implement a new strategy to be successful.

Establishing the right setting for your firm is a major part of having a successful company. When the employees feel a sense of security and loyalty towards the company, they will be prepared to improve their performance through executive coaching and leadership training.

The Use Of Fire Extinguishers Is Important Staff Knowledge

By Peter Thomas

Are you comfortable with the knowledge that you have installed fire extinguishers in your workplace or meeting place. By that I mean, rules and regulations force us to have fire extinguishers, but how many business owners talk over with their staff, the issues of fire safety. Do you know how many of your staff would not know how to use a fire extinguisher, and which fire extinguisher to use for what purpose?

Fear drives people to do all sorts of weird and wonderful things and being in a fire is one of peoples greatest fears. In a workplace where there are numerous people in a small space, panic can set in very quickly when there is a fire.

Not all fire extinguishers are for the same purpose. Many people do not realise this and this lack of knowledge could be life threatening. Have you ever taken the time to show your staff individually, or in small groups, exactly how to use a fire extinguisher and what fire extinguisher to use under what circumstances?

A WATER FIRE EXTINGUISHER

Just as it says, there is a water fire extinguisher, and this is used for putting out fires with paper, cloth, wood or cardboard. Nothing like rubbish bin contents catching from a cigarette butt.

CO2 FIRE EXTINGUISHER

A 2Kg weight CO2 fire extinguisher is idea for most situations where are fire may start near electrical wiring. This could be in a kitchen, a work station with technological equipment, a meeting room, and also great for a home environment. These are very suitable for shops and warehouses.

Showing new staff, especially young staff, should be part of new staff initiation.

It is pointless having an extinguisher if you are not going to have the Instructions near by. Situate your fire extinguisher in an obvious place, and have the Instruction Sign right beside it. Near the exit door always seems to be a good place because people will see it as they start to leave the building, or will be passing it every time they go outside.

Every couple of months bring the attention of the staff to your fire safety strategy and make sure that your extinguishers are checked within their due date. Each and every fire extinguisher needs to be kept in top order.

We all tend to believe it will not happen to me. But a fire is just like drowning, you know the problem is there, you know you should be aware of it, and you know you need to know how to prevent it.

It is each and every persons responsibility to have this knowledge of safety, and it is each and every persons responsibility to know how to use fire extinguishers before there is a fire.

IS PROSPECTING IMPORTANT?

By LJ James

HOW IMPORTANT IS PROSPECTING?[I:2:T]

As a Member of a Motorcycle Club, I wanted to give some advice to new Clubs out there that are starting up and to those looking to become part of a Club on why I feel Prospecting is so important. I hope I can help make it clear.

I hear members of new Motorcycle Clubs say things like "We do not prospect people" or "We met someone and liked them so we gave them a Patch". To some of you out there this many sound unbelievable, but trust me it not only happens in many new MCs, it is the reason most new MCs do not make it threw their first year.

Finding a person you like and get along with is a great start. I have many real good friends I like, But I do not know if they would not make good Club Members or not. If a person is going to be your Motorcycle Club Brother you need to get to know him as a Club Member first and he needs to get to know what it means to be a part of the Club!

I have spoken to many members of very casual Clubs and I hear a similar story over and over again. The story is how a group of them had been riding together for years having a great time and all getting along. Well one day a new person shows up maybe a friend of a member and he seems like a nice guy. He rides with them a couple of times and they let him into the Club. Right after he becomes a member he turns into a total moron! Now He is going places representing himself as a member of the Club making others hate him and the Club in the process. He starts making it so good members who have been around for years no longer wish to be a part of the Club! Some members want to throw him out, others say they cant do that. The Club is in total chaos and all are in fear of the club shutting down!

What should they do? Well all these problems could have been avoided if the person had prospected! By having a person prospect you can get to know them and see what they are really like. It is easy for a person to behave real well for a few days, but give them a little time and their true Colors will show!

Now how long should you prospect a person for? Well that depends on you and your Club. How much does your Club mean to you? Should you prospect the person three months? Six Months? One Year? I feel the answer is real simple, you and your Club members set a Minimum time limit and then you Prospect the person until they have become a Member and not a moment before that!

Now Prospecting is not just for the Club to find out if they want a person as a Member. It is also for the individual to find out if they want to be a Member of that Club. There is no shame in the fact that a certain Club may have not been for you. If it wasn't Im pretty sure there is a Club out there for you. Most people don't get married to the first person they meet in life. They look around till they find the one that's perfect for them! Like People all Clubs are different and Prospecting is going to be different from one Club to another.

Now it just maybe only my opinion, but I have always felt prospecting is not about trying to break a person. Prospecting is about a person turning into a Member of your Club. Some will rise and become a Brother others will not! My Club Brothers are as close to me as my real Brother. They are all strong adult men who have proven themselves! Not Boys who are looking to prove something to themselves! We all get along great and the only way to keep the Club that way is Prospecting!

I have heard many who have been involved in a Motorcycle Club say that they feel the Brotherhood of the Motorcycle Club world no long exists! I want everyone to know that just because it may not have been there in the Club they were apart of, or tried to become a part of does not mean it has gone extinct! I know that the Brotherhood of the Motorcycle Club world is alive and strong because I am a part of it!!!

Consumer Self Defense Tear Gas and Pepper Sprays: Do They Work?

By Karen Smyke

What is a Self Defense Spray made from? There are three types of chemicals used in Self Defense Sprays. The first two are type of tear gas and are called CS and CN. These man made chemicals are irritants to the mucous membranes (eyes, nose, throat, and lung). In large quantities, they cause heavy flow of tears and produce mucus and some choking.

The 3rd and most common ingredient is OC (Oleoresin Capsicum), which is the hot part of chili peppers. OC is not only an irritant, it is also an inflammatory agent and when it contacts the mucous membranes it causes choking and an unbelievable burning sensation. It can also cause temporary blindness from the burning pain.

What's the difference between pepper spray and tear gas? First, you can't fight through the effects of tear gas. The tearing and mucouse secretion are uncontrollable, so it will blind and choke you if it contacts the mucous membranes. Tear gas isnt as effective for though for drunken, super tough attackers.

Only pepper spray works to deter dogs, bears, and other wild animals.

Tear gas disburses fumes and you dont have to nail the attacker in the eyes. Pepper spray does not emit fumes, and it will not deteriorate with age, but it must be sprayed in the eyes or inhaled directly to be effective.

Tear gas takes take longer to be effective, anywhere from 5 seconds to 30 seconds, while the effects of pepper spray are almost instantaneous.

Tear gas can't be washed off, while pepper spray can. MACE has come up with a new gel product however, that is hard to wipe or wash off. MACE also has a "triple action" self defense spray that contains all three ingredients, plus a special UV dye so that the assailant is easily identified by law enforcement.

What are the benefits and limitations of pepper spray? Pepper spray is an excellent self-defense product. It is used by nearly every law enforcement agency throughout the country. It is non-lethal and extremely effective when sprayed in the facial area and eyes. It put a safe distance between your and an attacker and gives you plenty of time to escape and seek help. Because pepper spray does not cause any long lasting discomfort or injury to the attacker, people are more likely to use it without hesitation. Acting quickly can often avoid serious injuries and save lives. Pepper spray is very inexpensive, and is not typically restricted by law. A permit is not usually required to carry them.

Self-defense sprays also have their limitations too. For instance, it may take a moment for the pepper spray to start burning and disable the attacker. In that time he can still attack you, or worse take your pepper spray from you and use it against you! If you spray it into the wind, you may end up with MACE in the FACE![I:0:T]

How do I compare various pepper sprays? Pepper spray is rated in 2 ways: OC% and SHU rating. The % you see listed on the package (10%, 15%, etc.) explains how much OC is in the container relative to the other ingredients (propellant, dyes, etc.). However, this percentage cannot always be used to compare the "hotness" of different pepper sprays, and there are mixtures of various potencies of OC.

The hotness of OC is directly related to the amount of the capsaicin in the OC, which varies significantly from manufacturer to manufacturer. The amount of capsaicin in OC is rated in Scoville Heat Units (SHU). To compare the hotness of two different pepper sprays, SHU rating is more important. The more capsaicin content the OC has, the hotter & more effective the spray will be. Two million SHU will be sufficient.

How long will my pepper spray last? That depends on how big the container is! If your wondering how long you can store it for, its usually about a year. Each container will have an expiration date. The truth is that the OC is not effected by storage time. The propellant however, is not as dependable. If your likely to use it, then you should test spray it every once in a while!

How long do the effects last? The burning takes a few seconds to kick in, and usually lasts from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the SHU rating. The UV Dye can "tag" a person for up to a week!

When is it OK to use the pepper spray? Whenever you feel truly threatened. Just keep in mind that you have to use it in defense of life, and not in defense of property. You are now allow to use sprays in an offensive manner, only self defense.[I:2:J]

What's better: foam, spray, gel, or fogger? It depends on your situation and preference. Mace brand gels and foams are preferred by many as they are really hard to wipe off. The spray is actually a stream, and is easier to aim into the eyes and mouth. Foggers are used for crowd control.

How should I store & carry pepper spray? Store your defensive spray in a safe place at room temperature. Keep it away from children. Do not leave it in your car during summer because high temperatures may cause the seals to leak.

Think in advance how you want to carry your pepper spray. In a typical assault, you get no warnings and you will get attacked when you least expect it. Carry your pepper spray with you whenever possible, and keep it in the same place. You can put it in a loose outer pocket of a jacket or inside a pants pocket, or in a purse with an open pocket. Try a few different carrying methods and find good accessible locations for you. Practice and make sure you can draw it quickly in an emergency situation.

The keychain pepper sprays are very convenient, and you are more likely to carry them with you all the time because of their smaller size.

What should I know about MY pepper spray? It's important that you get some practice with the specific spray you are going to use. Study the canister, the nozzle, and the dispenser. Take your canister to an open field, make sure the wind, if any, is at your back, and fire it for about two seconds. How far will it spray? Is the spray a stream or a foggy mist? How did it react to the wind? Can you spray it into the eyes of an attacker?

When threatened, make sure you have distance between you and the attacker. Don't get within their stiking distance. Fire 2 or 3 second bursts directly into the eyes of the attacker. If it is not working, give them another two seconds. The small pocket or purse size will give you between 5 and 10 seconds of continual fire. Once the threat is stopped, run immediately and call the police. If your spray contains UV dye, tell the police that so they can ID the bad guy.

Is Pepper Spray Legal in my state? Pepper spray is LEGAL in all fifty states. However, some states and cities have specific regulations pertaining to the purchase, possession and use of defense sprays. Please check with your local law enforcement agency for any regulations your state may have.

New York: the sellers must be local licensed firearm dealers or local pharmacies. Massachusetts: the buyer is required to obtain a Firearms Identification Card (FID); the sellers must be local licensed firearm dealers. Michigan: OC Pepper Spray can be no stronger than a 2% concentrate. CS is the only Tear Gas accepted. Both must be no larger than 35 grams per can. No combination sprays allowed. Wisconsin: Pepper spray only. No Tear Gas, UV Dye or combination sprays. OC Pepper Spray can be no stronger than a 10% concentrate. The can must be between 15-60 grams only. They must have safety feature. California: Canisters cannot be more than 2.5 ounces. Animal Repellents such as bear spray and dog spray are legal and can be shipped to New York, Wisconsin and Michigan.

Is there anyplace where I cannot carry pepper spray? Yes. You cannot carry any pepper spray on an airplane or in carry-on luggage or in the passenger area. The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) allows one Pepper Spray (up to 4 oz) per traveler in your checked luggage only.

Can I wash pepper spray off? If you get pepper spray on yourself, dont panic. Water, soap and time are all that is needed to decontaminate you. Exposure to fresh air should help, too. Remove all contaminated clothing. Flush the affected area with cool water. Warm water may intensify the burning and inflammation. Do not rub your face! Wash the affected area with non-oil or cold cream based soap. Don't apply oily lotions--they will trap OC resin onto your skin. Have a doctor examine the exposed area if any irritation or pain persists after the decontamination procedures.

Tips For A More Secure Home Security Agenda

By Chris Channing

With the advances in electronics and other technologies, we are now able to keep "the king's fort" secure enough to protect it against the elements and any intruders. The task in setting up a home security network isn't easy by any means, but there are some tips in making sure a home is proofed against all of the obscene.

There are essentially two ways to enter a house: through doors, and by breaking and entering through windows. Door alarms are easy to come by, and is what most home security systems make use of. Window alarms can vary in how they detect an intrusion. Most often, devices may be used to detect an actual break in the glass and sound an alarm.

Sometimes the best way to prevent a home intrusion is to make the job of gaining entry harder for the criminal. A good way to do this is to turn the natural cover of night criminals enjoy into a bright environment that can be used to identify them. This can be done with a flood light and motion detector, is cheap to setup, and will make most criminals turn around and run for the dark.

Most apartment complexes have "peep" holes that are able to give home owners a look at who is visiting them. This is great for deciding who to open the door for before the visitor even gets a chance to enter. This can even be expanded upon by implementing an intercom system or a video surveillance unit supplemented by a light source of some sort for night use.

Not all home security systems are for burglars- there are also the elements to worry about. Smoke detectors and water flooding alarms are also good investments necessary to ensure damage to a household isn't achieved. Keep in mind that most of these devices are battery operated, so checking up on their energy supply is required periodically. After all, a home security alarm that isn't on is worthless!

If there are any doubts to one's home security, always call the professionals for a complete solution in home security. Security businesses will be able to create a custom security plan for what the home owner wants or needs- and it even saves time in having to setup the security system. It may cost more, but finding the cheaper way out in home security isn't always the best idea.

In Conclusion

Size up the competition in the home security industry by going online and to local resources to get a price quote. See if you can implement the system yourself, and if things don't work out, many home security businesses can take a second try at securing your home against the elements and those of more malicious intent.

Tips For Building Arm Muscles

By Westy

The arm muscles can be a difficult area to tone up and get in good shape. It is not impossible to build up the arm muscles, but you will have to work very hard to get the kind of tone and shape that you are after. Even though we use our arm muscles every day, we do not give them enough of a workout to get the kind of muscles most people desire. You will have to work very hard to get a good shape and tone to your arm muscles.

Secret Key

The area of your arm muscles that you will want to concentrate on first is the upper arms. You should focus on your triceps and biceps. This should be the area that you work on first to get the kind of tone and definition that you want in your arms. The forearms and the lower part of your arms will be worked out right along with the biceps and triceps so concentrate on these areas first.

So, when you focus on the upper arms, the lower arms will just fall in shape at the same time

In simpler terms, it is basically easier to develop your upper arm muscles first because the lower arm muscles tend to develop almost simultaneously. Developing the forearms solely will not result to upper arm muscle development.

You should look for a training program that will effectively build up your arm muscles. This is the safest and most effective way to get the results that you want. You will also have access to a greater amount of equipment in a gym. With the right equipment and training, you will have the muscles that you always wanted in no time.

When you are doing some workouts at home, you can make use of an exercise that requires no equipment. The push up has been used for many years as a way to develop the arm muscles. Try to work in the push up and the push down exercises in your arm muscle building workout.

If you don't have any equipment, the perfect exercise for you is the push-up and push down arm exercises wherein you start the whole routine in push up position. Afterwards, you then move to the push down position. The trick here is to maintain the position for a few seconds then repeat the process all over again. Better manage your intake of foods well. Observe a proper diet and eat less fatty foods because all of your exercises to build arm muscles will be rendered ineffective if you continue to eat a lot of unhealthy foods.

Your Body Will Determine How Long It Takes To Build Muscles

By Westy

The question about how long it takes to build muscles is one that requires you to consider a lot of factors. Those who are wondering how long before they begin to see results on their body, will have to take the time to consider some of the following points.

Secret Key

The first factor could be on what you eat, how well you eat and when you eat? Eating patterns usually affect the rate of muscle development and the quality of the food that you eat also will matter.

The next thing that is a consideration in how long it will take to get the muscles that you want is your personal body type. The type of body that you have will play a large part in the way that your body processes food and builds muscle. Some people are not genetically predisposed to having large muscles on their body.

Next you should try to determine what type of body you have. This will play a large part in your ability to build muscles. Some body types build muscles quickly and others don't.

The endomorph is the first body type you should consider. This person gains weight quickly and has a hard time losing it. This person will be able to gain muscle, but it might take some time to find the hidden muscles underneath the fat.

The so-called gifted people share one common body and that is the mesomorph build. In comparison with the previous build, this body type is known to be more athletic and has little body fat. If you have this body type then you can build muscles a lot faster than the endomorph.

Ectomorph is the complete opposite of endomorph. In here, the individual will build muscles slowest even if a huge amount of effort has already been exerted. Because you tend to have a faster metabolism, you look skinnier than most individuals.

These are the body types that you should consider when you are trying to determine how long it will take you to gain muscles. You will not gain your perfect body overnight no matter what body type you have. Just keep working on your muscles and eat a healthy and well balanced diet and you will have the perfect body for you.

How Women Gain Muscle

By Westy

If you take a look at women in today's society, you will see that it is becoming more and more appropriate for women to build their muscles. If you are a woman who is interested in building muscles in the same way that a man does, there is no reason that you can't do that for your body.

You will find that the fitness programs that are available for bodybuilding are usually geared toward the men. You will be able to find a program that is right for you if you take the time to look around.

There are some major differences in the way that men's and women's bodies work. The differences are primarily on the inside of the body. The hormonal differences between men and women will be what makes the biggest difference on the way that muscles are built on the female body.

Testosterone, the male hormone, is responsible for the muscle growth that is seen in men. Many women have begun using this hormone to increase the speed at which they grow their muscles. It is generally not recommended that a woman use this male hormone for bodybuilding because of the adverse side effects that can occur.

You should know that you can build the same kind of muscles as a man without the use of this hormone. You will be able to develop six pack abs and strong arm muscles with your workout alone. It might take you a bit longer to get there, but you will be able to do it.

The exercises that you will do for your workout are the same as they are for a man. You will still be doing bench presses, squats, chin ups and push ups that will bring you the muscles that you desire. You should also pay attention to your rest periods as well for the best results.

Regarding diet, women must never forget to bring in all the necessary caloric requirements. A gram of protein per pound of your weight must be followed during your meals. Eat more frequently, about 5 times or more daily rather than just eating 3 huge meals. Protein shakes are also recommended. Moreover, water is also of the essence. Water therapy helps replenish your system with your lost fluids during times of workout.

Lastly, cook your food before you eat them. But bear in mind not to under or overcook them. This will help reduce the fat and keep your body lean and healthy looking. Once all of these guidelines are followed, in time, the females can build their own set of muscles just as men do.

Building Muscles Diets

By Westy

The nutrition is the most important part of any bodybuilding diet. You will find that your exercise will be for nothing if you are not eating a good diet at the same time. Most diets that are designed for bodybuilding will focus on the protein that is eaten, but that is not the only element that you will have to pay attention to.

Secret Key

To build muscle, most experts recommend that you eat five or six smaller meals all through the day instead of three big ones. You will burn more fat when you eat this way than you will with the traditional meal plan. If you are allowed to go too long between meals your body will begin to use your muscle tissue instead of fat. This means that you could begin to lose muscle.

When you allow your body to get into this state, your body will begin to think that it is starving and will go after the muscle tissue for nutrition. This means that your body could actually become fatter. If you eat your meals every couple of hours, you will avoid this state in your body. The meals that you eat should be nutritionally balanced with forty percent of the food being protein, forty percent carbohydrates and twenty percent fat. The carbohydrates are necessary to absorb the protein in your body.

If you are a bodybuilder who is interested in staying at the current size and weight, you must make sure that you are eating a well balanced diet. Eat a good variety of food and get plenty of calories to make sure that you are building and repairing your muscles.

The biggest meal that you eat every day should be eaten right after your muscle building workout. The smallest meal that you eat should be the one that you eat at bedtime. Drink plenty of water all through the day to make sure that you are digesting your food properly. Use your common sense when you are deciding on the right foods to eat every day. There are a number of resources available to you that will show you the proper nutrition for you.

Many people have the goal of increasing their muscle and gaining weight while they are bodybuilding. To do this, you should be sure that you are eating a high protein diet. Of course, you should choose the right kind of protein for your diet that will help you build your muscle in the right way.

There are some good sources of protein for this type of diet that you can use to get the best results. Egg whites have a great protein value and will help you get the nutrition that you need on this kind of diet. Fish, especially cold water fish is a good source of protein and omega 3 fatty acids. Lean meats and poultry are great sources of protein for your bodybuilding diet.

There are some diets that will use a process called caloric cycling. This is used to trick your metabolism into not getting used to a specific amount of calories. To build more muscle using this technique, you should take two days out of the week and eat less. If you are trying to lose fat, you should eat less five days during the week and increase your calories two days of the week. There are many ways that you can use your diet to help you get the results that you want. Just make sure that you are getting the proper nutrition for your body and you will find great results from your efforts.

The Foods To Use For Building Muscles

By Westy

A bodybuilder's diet is the most important part of his or her program. The diet planning and preparation takes time. For instance, you need to compute what percent of your diet should contain protein, carbohydrates and fats; all divided into 6 meals. There are grams of food to be determined if you want to build muscles. It takes dedication to eating good food for building muscle and if you do not eat right you will not get the results you desire.

Secret Key

Protein is the body's muscle builder because it is filled with amino acids. A bodybuilder should eat one gram of protein for each pound he or she weighs. Some good food for muscle building include the following proteins: lean cuts of beef or pork, lean hamburger, skim milk, low fat cottage cheese, yogurt, kidney beans, eggs, fish and turkey. The bulk of your protein should come from animal sources. Stay clear of prepared sausages and meatballs.

With all the bad press and low carbohydrate diets, people have been loading up on more protein. Both bodybuilders and non-bodybuilders. . Carbohydrates are the next good food for building muscle. Hydrogen, oxygen and carbon compose carbohydrates and they are broken down to be called simple or complex. Carbohydrates provide glycogen which is the food for energy. Not only will you not be building muscles if you do not eat enough carbohydrates, you can have physical symptoms such ad lack energy and difficulty concentrating. You probably would not be able to do your workout. Your body is essentially hypoglycemic and will turn to you muscle tissue for functioning and you can lose muscle.

There is a measurement called the glycemic index (GI) ranges from zero to 100. Simple carbohydrates like white bread and potatoes will spike your glycemic index. Some experts have said that lower GI providing good food for building muscle because they release a steady supply of glycogen for energy. Complex carbohydrates include whole wheat bread, and oatmeal. Eating more complex carbohydrate foods will keep your GI on a level plain throughout the day

Some of the foods that you should be eating are vegetables and fruits. Fruits are a good source of energy and they will help you to get through a strenuous workout.

Tighten Up Your Flabby Arms

By Westy

As we age, many people are stricken with loose and flabby skin under their arms. Many people are looking to lose some weight in that area to give them back the toned muscle that they once had, but there is no way to target a weight loss in just that area. It seems as though the problem is more common in women, but there are men who suffer from the same problem. The question becomes, how do you get rid of loose flabby arms.

Secret Key

When the body is aging, there is a loss of collagen and elastin and some people just have a greater amount of fat in that area of their body. There are some things that can be done to help you in this area.

This part of the body is not the easiest to lose weight in so you should recognize this problem before you get started. You also will not be able to target this specific area of your body for weight loss. There have been some gels and creams that have come on the market that are designed specifically to reduce the fat in this area. However, there is still not enough information on whether these products actually work.

Surgery is an option for people who want to eliminate the extra skin and fat in the upper arm area. The cosmetic procedure that is used to work on this area is called brachioplasty or an arm lift. The surgery is done with general anesthesia and you will be able to go home the same day. There is a two to six week recovery time and you will most likely be given pain medication for use at home.

Liposuction is something that many people have used to reduce the fat in this part of their body. In many cases, both an arm lift and liposuction are done at the same time to get the best possible results. You will need about a week of recovery from liposuction done in this area alone.

One of the least invasive ways to eliminate the problem of flabby arms is building muscle in this area. There are a number of exercises that you can use that will help you recover some of the tone and muscle in the under arm area.

A push up is the most common exercise that you can use for this part of your body. You can choose to do a regular push up or a wall push up that will tone the muscles under the arms.

Bench dips may help the flabby loose weight build muscle arms. Sit on a bench or a firm bed and lift your self off and below it and come back up again. These are just a few alternatives that you can do to get rid of that loose weight under your arm and build muscle.

The Advantages of Small Town Real Estate

By John Kron

Most people from the big city might at one time or another think about getting away from it all in a small town. Here are a few of the advantages of small communities, as well as a few of the drawbacks.

Depending on the specific area and market, it might be possible to save money by purchasing property in a small town. Looking at the market value of homes in the city as compared to a smaller town will let you know if this can be an advantage to you. A city might have a larger market demand and higher land costs than a town.

A lot can be said about small town values and friendliness. This factor alone will influence many people that look at homes in a smaller community. With smaller schools, less traffic and shorter walks to the playground, you might decide that a small community is a much better environment for your children.

Buying property in a small community that is steadily growing might mean that your home's equity will grow too. An up and coming town will always help the value of a house. See if you can tell whether a specific community seems to be in decline or on the rise. This might take a little investigation!

If you are thinking about looking a little further into small town life, it might be worthwhile to visit a few communities. Taking a drive through a town can tell you a lot about it. Here are a few areas to check out.

As well as figuring out the distance from the highway and the big city, how about a police station? Is there a medical center nearby? See if you can find the fire department, the scools and playgrounds, and any recreational facilities.

If you are thinking that you might want to look for a home in a smaller community, the next step will be finding a real estate agent to help you. You might decide that the correct decision for your lifestyle is to live in a large metropolitan area. But if you do choose to move out into a less populated center, I hope you find it as peaceful and safe as I do.
