Training


Yesterday I bought this vibration training machine.
It's so cool! I got it really cheap second hand but it's like new. I payed 450kr and a new one costs around 3000kr.
After a 10 minute work out today it feels like I've been running three miles. If I use this everyday I will definately become stronger wich is what I'm going for. I need to strengthen my arm, chest and ab muscles. 
It gives a really nice massage too. It's awesome and I love it! 
Maybe the best buy of the year.

Some of the benefits from using a vibration plate is supposed to be:

Muscles
  • Stretches Muscles
  • Develops the elasticity and flexibility of muscles
  • Improves power and resistance of muscles.

The articulations, tendons andtissues of muscle
  • Support the flexibility of articulations
  • Reinforcement of the articulations.

Bones
  • Helps prevent different risks of osseous lesions
  • Reinforces the osseous cartilage

Abdominals
  • Reduces surplus fat in the abdominal region
  • Supports digestion and helps assimilation by upper and lower intestines

The nervous system
  • Increases mobility the nerve impulse

The hormones
  • Induces the secretion of hormones (HGH, IGF-1)
  • Supports the production of testosterone
  • Supports production of serotonin and promotes a feeling of wellbeing

Blood circulation
  • Supports and improves blood circulation
  • Reinforces the metabolic rate
  • Reduction of muscular cramps

Skin
  • Facilitates drainage on the capillary vessels and lymphatic system by improving blood circulation
  • significant reduction of cellulites
  • Reinforcement of the elasticity of the skin, helps the production of collagen (anti-ageing)


The sellers claim that one months training on a vibration plate is like one years normal training. I don't really believe that but I guess in a month I'll know if it does something. It sure feels like it will!

Nara, Japan.


Watercolour painting. From a photo I took in Nara 2009. First time I've painted a deer. This painting was a little difficult but I think the light and shadow looks good. I kind of hate painting trees. Haha.

Akiyoshi


My friend Akiyoshi recently had surgery so I made him a portrait wishing for his health and quick recovery.
It's from a photo I took last time I was in Japan. I love how his back look so warm.
