Sylmark Core Sculptor: Get Slim from Within!

www.CoreSculptor.com

Core Sculptor from Sylmark's Peter Spiegel

Core Sculptor represents the latest in cutting-edge resistance-workout technology. Reshape your body- get slim from within. The powerful Core Sculptor system really is a home fitness breakthrough.

Core Sculptor is the home fitness breakthrough that sculpts your body from the inside out. Core training is not just for athletes anymore. It's now the hottest workout in fitness clubs all across the country. Core training is the key to a beautiful, buff body from head to toe. It's how Hollywood stars get lean, toned, and red carpet ready, because it strengthens the muscles deep within your centre, which then act like a corset to pull everything in tight.

Also check out my post on the Bun & Thigh Roller from Sylmark.

As with the Bun & Thigh Roller, the Core Sculptor System offers some unique benefits over old-fashioned gym equipment. In fact, it also replaces many of the functions of a fully equipped gym. Beyond that though, the Core Sculptor is more compact, concise, easier to use, and designed for intense body sculpting action.

Core Sculptor from Sylmark is designed to work on all the core muscles - including upper and lower abs, obliques, upper and lower back muscles, and the gluteus maximus (glutes). It will effectively sculpt your upper body with the optional Curl Bar, which enhances the resistance action.

The Core Sculptor from Sylmark is engineered for great body sculpting in just 4 minutes per day using the Core 4 exercises! For intermediate and advanced core work, you can increase resistance and repetitions and add additional exercises. An intermediate workout would be 6-8 minutes, and an advanced core workout would be 15 minutes. The cardio/full body workout is 30 minutes and can be done 2-3 times per week.

Ionic Pro Air Purifier for Leprechaun Lungs

Peter Spiegel Ionic Pro

http://www.IonicPro.com

Time and again I am amazed by some of the gadgets I stumble upon in the Infomercial-Universe. If you've been following some our posts you'll see that we are big fans here of Katie Williams & Peter Spiegel - a formidable Television Shopping Duo from Sylmark. The reason being that Sylmark offers gadgets and products that are genuinely useful and are designed to make life easier. However, Sylmark's Ionic Pro Air Purifier is one gadget, which looks great but is not something we would use in Ireland.

Katie WilliamsRecently there was a hoot about 'bottled Irish Air' being sold to Americans. Apparently one Irish-Man found a niche in the US Market for exploiting their sentiments and trigger-happy consumerism and believe it or not, a 'friend' actually sold an empty Ballygowan bottle on e-bay as 'genuine bottled Irish air' with a yarn about the Wicklow Mountains and got $7 for it! However unbelievable it seems, we are well known for having some of the greenest landscape, purist rivers and crystal clear air - and some of the most enterprising minds. Regardless, $7 is a lot for a single puff 'genuine bottled Irish air'.

Katie Williams Ionic ProNow, there's nothing Irish about the Ionic Pro Air Purifier, but when I came across it I was intrigued by the possibility that ex-pats could fill up their rooms and treat their lungs to what lungs like best - pure, cool air.

The Ionic Pro Air Purifier comes in many different forms, which are all equally beneficial - Ionic Pro Ionic Air Cleaner, Ionic Pro Turbo air purifier, PurePro professional air purifier, Therapure 100 Germicidal Air Sanitizer and Thera Pure 2010 Hepa & Germicidal Air Sanitizer.

According to Sylmark, what the Ionic Pro ionic air purifiers do is trap pollutants and dust on three collection blades and then release only pure air back into the room - eliminating disease causing agents and spores from the air. We spend some 90% of our time indoors where pollutants and nasty dust particles thrive....

A Sylmark Ionic Pro ionic air cleaner circulates air without the use of loud and disruptive motors or fans, and has no costly filters to replace. Simply remove the steel blade assembly and wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Ionic Pro features: 
· Traps airborne allergens like pollen, smoke, dust, and pet dander
· Traps particles as small as 1 micron
· Energy efficient and inexpensive to operate
· One unit recommended for rooms up to 500 square feet

So, there you have it, Ionic Pro Air Purifier for leprechaun lungs.

TOBI or not TOBI? - My Steamy Wedding-Gift Question

http://www.tobisteamer.com/

Despite the Economic Downturn, it seems everyone is getting married these days. 

I do like weddings - the celebratory atmosphere, the chance to get kitted out in the latest Gucci Meanswear, good music, and of course - wining and dining with friends. I do like all this, but it’s the task of looking for a wedding gift - a tasteful, unique, surprising, adventurous wedding gift- this is not my area.... 

My Sis is getting married soon and after an endless and painstaking search, I finally found a solution. So my question is - TOBI or not TOBI?

TOBI is not just a great product- it’s a fantastical and useful Iron Steamer, which eliminates the need for dry cleaning. What the Rolls Royce is to the Automobile Industry, TOBI Iron Steamer is to the Fashion Industry. 

TOBI Steamer Katie-Willams Peter-SpiegelDeveloped and marketed by Peter Spiegel and Katie Williams of Sylmark, TOBI Steamer has gained iconic status in the Television Shopping & Infomercial scene and has bagged numerous awards and accolades from Industry Moguls. In 2008, Katie Williams of Sylmark pocketed the "Product of the Year" award from the E.R.A. for this high-tech and innovative gadget.

TOBI Steamer is called a "dry cleaning store in your bedroom" and could make a great gift for my sister - a university executive and a new and devoted mother. TOBI Cleaner from Sylmark is even so powerful as to fulfil all the functions of an iron and ironing board - but without the need for a board. It eliminates the effort of ironing, and removes the cost of dry cleaning - so in a way, its more than a gift, its an actual investment.

To steam away wrinkles in seconds:

  • Hang the garment on a regular hanger.
  • No board or flat surface required.
  • The heat and moisture get rid of wrinkles in seconds.
  • Turn the lighted switch to ON.
  • You apply no pressure.
  • Just touch the garment lightly, and move the nozzle up and down.
  • It’s easy – even fun!

Each purchase of a TOBI comes with an ultra-compact version of the standard upright model - the TOBI Travel Steamer, also marketed by Peter Spiegel. TOBI Travel Steamer is useful for removing wrinkles from clothes when travelling on business or vacation - and may just be something I could keep for myself!

TOBI or not TOBI? Tell me what you think...

VIVA LA VIV - Peter Spiegel Unleashes the Power of Herbs

30 day evaluation of VIV <-Must try VIV

Its not a gadget. But if you consider that the human body is the greatest gadget of all, you will understand why I am writing about it here.

VIV: Lately I've become so intrigued and have been writing alot about VIV (see: An unusual drink called VIV from KIIERA: Peter Spiegel Interview), the latest health product from Kiiera that is causing a STIR on the blogs and in many health circles.

VIV is a new, uniquely beneficial health drink co-developed and marketed by Peter Spiegel, a botanical medicine expert and entrepreneur. VIV is already creating buzz in health food circles for its unique properties, absence of artificial additives, highly active levels of ingredients and for its ability to measurably give more stamina, improve mental sharpness, increase energy and help recover from stress and exertion.

VIV contains efficacious doses of remarkable botanics from Asia, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, which are not only revered in the traditions from which they originated, but which also have sound, measurable and remarkable scientific benefits. Chinese mock-braberry/lemon-wood, Golden Root and Siberian Ginseng are some ingredients that give VIV its power and that are not just know, but proven, to give really great benefits to people.

What makes VIV unique over other health drinks is that the active ingredients are much more prominent in the mixture and are not diluted with sugar and water etc. VIV was researched and developed over a 2 years period, which is an eon in the natural health product universe.

This is remarkable new product from Peter Spiegel and KIIERA for which herbalists and health enthusiasts are keeping a close eye on. I hope VIV will gain mass appeal. The interview below with Peter Spiegel documents the background and development of VIV, the great properties of VIV and how VIV compares with other health products.

I will be writing more on VIV, so do check back.

Bun & Thigh Roller Emerges from the Storm

www.bunthigh.com

"Looking out the window, we see a threatening storm - obesity - that will, if unchecked, have a negative effect on life expectancy. Despite widespread knowledge about how to reduce the severity of the problem, observed trends continue to worsen. These trends threaten to diminish the health and life expectancy of current and future generations.

- New England Journal of Medicine.

The 20th century saw great advances in sanitation, control of infectious diseases, childbirth, and trauma care that translated into an unprecedented increase in average lifespan. Today however, we are facing a health challenge that threatens to reverse this upward trend: the growing epidemic of obesity. Diabetes, depression, heart problems, hypertension, osteoarthritis, dyslipidemia, stroke, insomnia, gallbladder disease, some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon) - to avoid these modern killers, one should seriously consider a regular workout regime.

Bun and Thigh Roller from SylmarkIn Ireland where I live, at least 20% of adolescents suffer from major depression. They are being drugged out of their gorge on drugs that are not helpful. 200,000 - 300,000 are diagnosed as type 2 diabetics, and it is believed that these figures are actually an underestimation. We have welcomed the great American lifestyle with open arms but the consequences are a lifestyle that is slowly killing us. I would say that the biggest problem we face is laziness and inertia.

Bun and Thigh Roller from SylmarkRecently I've been really interested in and have been checking out ways to combat obesity. I'm not obese, but I do need to shed some pounds and sculpture by body. I joined a gym and enjoy spending as much time as possible there. You will know that are two types of exercise you can do - aerobic and anaerobic. Jogging, walking, cycling, swimming - these are types of exercises improve oxygen consumption by the body and are performed at moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time. This is ok for burning fat. But its aerobic exercise - sprinting, weight lifting etc. - that actually increase muscle, which in turn burns fat and tones the body on its own. Anaerobic exercises are intense enough to trigger anaerobic metabolism and actually, a little anaerobic exercise goes a long way.

Sylmark, the marketers of Bun & Thigh Roller promise that 5 minutes a day on the Bun & Thigh Roller will give you a great lean and toned look. This unique, easy-to-use exercise apparatus claims to give great looking buns and thighs in just five minute workouts a day. It sculpts your arms, legs and back too.

What I really really like about this product is that it is both great value, and it can actually replace many of the functionalities of a fully equipped gym. Interestingly, Dean Tornabene a former Mr. America invented the Bun and Thigh Roller.

The Bun and Thigh Roller 8 different resistance settings make it great for the total beginner to the serious athlete. The Bun and Thigh Roller from Sylmark is incredibly easy to use. All you have to do is set the resistance to a level best suited to you and rock your way to toned muscles. There's minimal impact on your knees and lower back and the padded back and headrest lets you exercise in total comfort. All you need is 5 minutes a day to work your glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, inner thighs, and outer thighs.

Bun and Thigh Roller Features:
8 resistance levels
Takes only 5 minutes a day
Targets all muscle groups in hips and thighs
Padded back and headrest for total comfort
Minimal impact on knees and back
Easy to use

Bun & Thigh Roller Includes:
Bun & Thigh Roller Exercise Machine
Two Resistance Bands
Exercise Instruction Guide
"Roll Down The Pounds" Eating Guide

Bun & Thigh Roller is being sold by Sylmark-

I now have my own Bun & Thigh Roller from Sylmark, and I can see massive benefits. The storm of obesity will continue to rage and ravage but there is a clear horizon. There are some really great fitness products out there if you are willing to look.

...and there was Light Relief!

Light relief theraphy from peter spiegel
What is light and what can light it do for us? These are questions that has fascinated great minds. Beyond the mundane, entire fields of science, philosophy, medicine and computing have spawned from the mysterious force called light. 

In ancient India, it was proposed that light is one of the five fundamental "subtle" elements out of which emerge the gross elements. Another school of Indian thought gave an atomic theory of the physical world on the non-atomic ground of ether, space and time. The basic atoms are those of earth, water, fire, and air. These atoms form the basis of binary molecules that combine further to form larger molecules. 

In a University physics course I briefly studied the rudiments of modern light theory, but it is the practical health benefits of light that interest I find truly fascinating. My grandfather was an amateur light therapy enthusiast and read a lot of light therapy books and would constantly buy light therapy gadgets, and extol the health benefits of it. 

I recently came across a super new gadget sold by Peter Spiegel and Katie Williams of Sylmark LLC which exploits the therapeutic effects of light - for pain relief. "Light Relief" is one truly innovative product which represents the culmination of years of study of the effects of light on pain. The Light Relief system propagates beams of infrared light which literally penetrate human tissue and stimulate the nervous system and destroy the very source of pain.

Of Helicopters and Ultimate Choppers

http://www.ultimatechopper.com/

What is about me and infomercials? On the one hand I find them sensationalistic, cheesy, even misleading; on the other, they take a kind of mind-numbing, trance-inducing hold on my brain that leaves me questioning the very essence of reality.

Rather than infomercials that seem like segments from the twilight zone and which try to skew my thought process and convince me that I suddenly need a tacky product, I expect an infomercial that is riveting & edgy. I look for infomercials that entertain me, impress me, make me laugh; maybe even cry. And it recently struck me that there are some really great and tasteful gadgets out there in the infomercialverse. Last night I came across something genuinely awesome.

I happened to be bored out of my skull during a late night, after-work infomercial binge. Then suddenly, as an emaciated and confused cliff hanger feels on spotting a rescue helicopter - I felt revived and inspired by the twisting and powerful rotor of the Ultimate Chopper spinning onto my screen. The genius behind the Ultimate Chopper and its successful marketing comes directly from Peter Spiegel and Kathleen "Katie" Williams of Sylmark, a formidable and legendry duo on the infomercial scene.

The Ultimate Chopper is one of those uniquely brilliant gadgets that somehow speak to you and make you think - 'Why didn't I think of that?!'. Its a food processor, but more powerful, flexible, compact and versatile. Its the 750 watt engine and uber-strong German steel blade that makes the Ultimate Chopper powerful enough to cut through concrete, or make awesome delicious peanut butter. Its a food Processor, a Standing Mixer, a Coffee Grinder and an Ice Cream Maker in one unit.

The Ultimate Chopper from Sylmark comes with a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee and Ultimate Chopper order includes all this:
Ultimate Chopper
Flavor Guard Bowl
Ultimate Recipe Guide
FREE BONUS: Perfect Juicer
FREE BONUS: Miracle Blade Slicer
FREE BONUS: 4 Miracle Blade Steak Knives

I have ordered an Ultimate Chopper for myself, so check back for an update...

Make Friends with the Miracle Blade III

http://www.miracleblade.com/
Call 1-800-508-7892 to order the Miracle Blade III Perfection Series

How to make friends and deliver enemies without weapons? Literarians say that "the pen is mightier than the sword" - meaning that through logical writing and knowledge one can overcome conflict. Daisy yielding hippies insist, "make love, not war". Insectologists are convinced that "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar". Everyone has a different view of how best to cancel adversaries and recently I came up with a new one, unexpectedly, from the Miracle Blade III from Sylmark.

After hearing the hype, and seeing so many late night re-runs of infomercials, the Miracle Blade and I have long been well acquainted. But not well enough - until last week when I actually received a recent order I had placed. If you've lived in a basement, you may not know Miracle Blade is a knife, but more than that, it’s a formidable culinary weapon that takes no prisoners. Designed with an exceptionally strong blade made from the highest quality of German stainless steel, and comfortable grip, it has a leading position in a new generation of über-knives.

So we decided to buy it and test it. I'm not a cook though and on a scale of culinarianism, where Michelin 5 star awardees are at the top; and mediocre hamburger-makers at McDonalds are at the bottom - I am a member of the group just below that which thinks that gherkins are a type of Nepalese war hero; tofu is a kind of foot disease and a sesame seed is the love-child of Kermit & Big Bird.

I am one of those people who think that squash is something that happens when you don't correctly secure a car jack. So I'm no cook, but with no persuasion my better half helped me out. Now, the thing I hate about preparing food is the cutting. Potatoes - fine, carrots - ok, but when it comes to beef or turnips, I can’t cope. I could put it in the blender and try to cut it that way - I could, but I wouldn't. A blender is for blending, and it normally happens that either the food turns to mush, or turns to saw dust. This is where the real power of the Miracle Blade comes in. Not only could I cut, slice and dice with no effort - the result was something attractive, neatly cut exactly how I wanted it to be cut. The result was something I would actually be proud to dish up. Its the mushy things too - tofu, tomatoes, soft cheeses - that love the pin-point precision of the Miracle Blade's slice.

Miracle Blade III is fantastic in the kitchen, but we soon discovered that it’s out of the kitchen that the real fun starts. So the guys and me decided to take it to the next level and push the knife to its limits. Inspired by the classic infomercials, and by Sylmark's lifetime guarantee that the knife will be unconditionally replaced in the event of damage - we cut boots and old tyres, we stabbed and hacked wood, bricks and chains - all in plenty of time to effortlessly swipe melons in half, mid-air. Somewhere along the line we descended into a kind of futuristic, slow-motion, 3-way sword fight with live swishing sound effects: but we had already made our point - this knife can not, and will not be blunted or broken.

The miracle blade is true culinary poetry in motion; I would recommend it to everyone. Attract the eyes with clean-cut slices of meats and vegetables; unleash mouth-watering flavours of herbs, spices and alliums with the fine chopping action of the blade; but most of all, re-enjoy the pleasure of cooking with family and friends, and take back your kitchen. We actually had so much fun cooking; we talked, joked, laughed way more than regular cooking because the cooking was easy. I will cook again and again with this blade for many years to come and keep you updated...

I genuinely love the Miracle Blade III from Sylmark, and its my new ideal for something that is mightier than any pen or sword, and helps you to make friends and deliver enemies without weapons, because after all, good cooking can win hearts and minds and conquer anyone who loves food.

Sylmark was founded by Peter Spiegel, one of LAs top entrepreneurs.
