				<description>&lt;p&gt;You may have heard of Dunstan Baby Language.&amp;#160; It is a DVD teaching parents how to fulfill their babies' needs by understanding their sounds.&amp;#160; Most people didn't even know that babies had a primitive form of communication before the release of this DVD.&amp;#160; However, Priscilla Dunstan is confident that she can help you understand the needs of your newborn baby.&amp;#160; New mothers are often highly stressed during their first year as mothers.&amp;#160; This is not only because of the big responsibility, but also because they often cannot stop their babies from crying!&amp;#160; Continue reading to learn more about how &lt;a href="http://dunstanbabylanguage.org/"&gt;Dunstan Baby Langauge&lt;/a&gt; can help you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Communication is important between a child and parent and shouldn't be compromised.&amp;#160; Babies are born equipped with the mental capacity for learning new languages.&amp;#160; Learning in the correct environment would be most beneficial for language learning for babies.&amp;#160; The language it is exposed to the most is the one it acquires the earliest.&amp;#160; But how can this affect a mother's relationship with a newborn baby?&amp;#160; It is very difficult to understand a newborn baby that has not learned how to talk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After a couple of months, parents may adapt to their babies sounds.&amp;#160; But a lot of trouble would have passed.&amp;#160; Only after that occurs would parents be able to comprehend the cries of their kids.&amp;#160; However, it takes a long while and a little bit of luck for that to happen.&amp;#160; It would be a great advantage for mothers to know exactly what their babies need as soon as they are born.&amp;#160; Luckily, this is now an option because of a Baby Language DVD available on Oprah.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>Escalating Density Training: Systematic Workload Increase</title>
				<author><name>tylerparkman</name></author>
				<link>http://tylerparkman.webs.com/apps/blog/show/1878277</link>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Allow me to explain to you how EDT systematically increases workload.&amp;#160; Your muscles do not know that they are getting worked to grow stronger.&amp;#160; All your muscles know is that they are moving against a resistance.&amp;#160; Your muscles will then make sure to beef up up and get ready for the same resistance next time you work out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All your muscles know is adaptation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://escalatingdensitytrainingdvd.blogspot.com/"&gt;Escalating Density Training&lt;/a&gt; is based on this very concept.&amp;#160; Here's an example. On week one, you bench 200 pounds with 15 reps.&amp;#160; Your muscles then adapt to become ready for 15 reps of 200 pounds next week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, you bench press 20 reps of 200 lbs next week.&amp;#160; Your muscles again will repair and build to be strong enough for 20 reps of 200 pounds the following week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every time the resistance is elevated, your muscles have no choice but to adapt by getting bigger and stronger.&amp;#160; After your muscles have gotten used to the high amount of reps, you up the amount of weight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let me use an analogy we can all relate to.&amp;#160; If you know tanning, you'd know to start by building a base. After that you can slowly increase your exposure to the sun.&amp;#160; This suntanning procedure should also be applied to exercising.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, the increasing volume is dependent completely on the size of the base you've built up.&amp;#160; You can only progress at the rate your body is capable of so you're not overworking which is counterproductive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This lesson is very critical to your exercise, and it sounds extremely simple.&amp;#160; Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to incorporate this into their workout.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A lot of training programs actually share this common problem. They lack a system for increasing workload. With &lt;a href="http://escalatingdensitytrainingdvd.blogspot.com/"&gt;Escalating Density Training&lt;/a&gt;, the whole premise of the system is on systematically increasing workload. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check out my other blogs at &lt;a href="http://tylerparkman.vox.com/"&gt;http://tylerparkman.vox.com/&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://tylerparkman.wordpress.com/"&gt;http://tylerparkman.wordpress.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>What You Need To Know About OptiMINDzation</title>
				<author><name>tylerparkman</name></author>
				<link>http://tylerparkman.webs.com/apps/blog/show/1738776</link>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;If you think about it, most problems in life are caused because of procrastination, lack of concentration/focus, and laziness. You can't say you're not guilty and do not have any of those problems, because you aren't. The solution to these age-old problems could be the innovative scientific breakthrough used in OptiMINDzation.&amp;#160; The OptiMINDzation 12 Set CD platform proposes to raise your ability to focus, improve learning ability/capacity, and raise your confidence.&amp;#160; This article will explore three reasons why this program might be a great idea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;OptiMINDzation can...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; 1. Better your focus ability: Think about all of the time you've wasted by letting your mind wander and go off-task.&amp;#160; With good concentration and focus, you could work efficiently to your best abilities.&amp;#160; A lot of time can be saved and could be better spent for yourself.&amp;#160; Users of the product claim having less stress, more happiness, and better decision-making skills.&amp;#160; With a new focused lifestyle, work can be done efficiently and effectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; 2. Improve learning ability and capacity: Marketers of OptiMINDzation say that it optimizes your mind so you can grasp more information and retain it better.&amp;#160; A lot of things go wrong when you forget little key details such as appointment dates and phone numbers.&amp;#160; Having good memory can save you in tight spots like that.&amp;#160; Tons of OptiMINDzation users have raved on and on about how they could learn things more rapidly and how much it helped them.&amp;#160; Learning faster is a important benefit because you would be able to use what you know to improve your life concisely after just learning it.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Raise confidence: As an effect of being smarter, efficient, focused, and mentally relaxed, you will supposedly have a lot more confidence.&amp;#160; The more the merrier.&amp;#160; Not only is it an admirable trait wished-for by many, it is also a key that opens many doors of opportunity.&amp;#160; More opportunities mean more chances of success, and who doesn't want that?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As you've probably noticed by now, there are a handful of benefits as a result of the program. And these are only few of the many OptiMINDzation claim to have. Even if you hold your own judgement about how the effects of enhanced concentration, developed information intake, and a confidence boost could affect your life, there are a lot more features to this program that could possibly work wonders... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check out an indepth review of &lt;a href="http://optimindzationreview.blogspot.com/"&gt;Optimindzation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>One Foot or Two Feet Jump?</title>
				<author><name>tylerparkman</name></author>
				<link>http://tylerparkman.webs.com/apps/blog/show/1614719</link>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Since I've started doing sports, I was told that you're born either a one foot jumper or a two foot jumper. I've heard it in a bunch of different ways. "It depends on your genes." "little guys hop higher off one foot and tall guys hop higher off two feet." This issue has been a regular misconception ever since Ever. It's sad knowing lots of athletes limit themselves because of misinformation like this, and You'll see why.&amp;#160; &lt;a href="http://vertfreak101.blogspot.com/"&gt;Vert Freak 101&lt;/a&gt; impressed me because there is a devoted chapter in the course that Busts the one foot/two foot jumper myth. I'll give you a preview of what the section covers in this post.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The number one detail I'd like to Say again is: You weren't born with any preference. So don't be anxious and concern that with what sports you'd be skilled at or something like that. A Handful of athletes Do not perform at their full potential when thinking Like that. An athlete that exhibits that mindset When young focuses Fully on one jumping method his or her entire life, while the other method is overlooked. Sadly, in many sports as well as basketball, it's largely beneficial to be able to hop using both Methods. If you learn how each technique works, you'll See how it's possible for anyone to be excellent at both Techniques.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can Learn more concerning single foot jumping opposed to two feet jumping at my blog by &lt;a href="http://vertfreak101.blogspot.com/2009/08/one-foot-jump-vs-two-feet-jump.html"&gt;clicking here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>Vertical Training Tips</title>
				<author><name>tylerparkman</name></author>
				<link>http://tylerparkman.webs.com/apps/blog/show/1574477</link>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;A lot of people become careless when they excited about new things.. This eventually leads to an miserable outcome. I have to admit, it's very exciting once you first start a fresh vertical jump program. You start to Imagine how your life might be with your vertical jump build up and how accomplished you will be. Athletes tend to dive into new workouts at full force when they first start out and end up hurt. After getting hurt, they give up. Don't get me wrong, you will be successful if you follow the program consistently, but I just want to give a few guidelines to ensure your safety when starting out with a vertical jump program.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The most common part of an exercise athletes tend to ignore is the warm-up! I cannot stress how important warming up and stretching is when doing vertical jump training. You'll be doing explosive workouts that stress your muscles pretty well. To prevent injuries from happening, you're going to need to make sure your muscles are warm and stretched. I advise doing a light cardio workout followed by a little dynamic stretching as your warm up. There is frequently a chapter in the vertical &lt;a href="http://vertfreak101.blogspot.com/"&gt;jump program&lt;/a&gt; regarding warming up, so you can find out more information from there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know you desire the most improvement and you want it as SOON as possible, but it's simply counterproductive if you over train yourself. Your muscles grow in the course of its healing process, so Allow it to heal. You're trying to stimulate and develop your muscles, not tear them. If you would like to get better, you'll need to let your muscles develop as well. I generally know when it's time to take a break when I have difficulty walking. However, maybe your body is not the same. Which brings me to my next point...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Consistently following a workout you found compatible with yourself is very important. However, only you know your limits. Even if a workout was personally made for you by a coach, it doesn't mean you have to push yourself past exhaustion to follow through with it. I'm certain you've had your fair share of injuries you probably know the warning signs. It's tempting to finish up the workout in order to pull off the feeling of accomplishment but if you start getting any signs, stop immediately. To get the greatest results possible, you'll need to know when to stop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Everybody is excited when they first start a vertical jump improvement program. So don't feel too bad, you're not the only hasty one. A vertical jump program I greatly recommend is &lt;a href="http://vertfreak101.blogspot.com/"&gt;VertFreak101&lt;/a&gt; because each exercise has a detailed explanation and a video making sure you're training accurately. Nonetheless, whether you're using Vert Freak 101 or Another vertical jump product, I'm assured you will be pleased with your results if you keep these guidelines in mind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>Vert Freak 101 Worth It?</title>
				<author><name>tylerparkman</name></author>
				<link>http://tylerparkman.webs.com/apps/blog/show/1570061</link>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;It's pretty hard when you have to decide from the variety of vertical jump training products available when a lot of them are carelessly compiled.&amp;#160; The same thought might come to mind when you're viewing a product like Vert Freak 101.&amp;#160; Two main aspects you should look out for when questioning the credibility of vertical jump programs are its promises and its authors.&amp;#160; I'll go over what I've mentioned putting &lt;a href="http://vertfreak101.blogspot.com/"&gt;Vert Freak 101&lt;/a&gt; to the test in this post.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you're viewing the website of a product, watch out for outrageous promises that sound a little dreamy.&amp;#160; Some people are lured in and eventually waste their money on ineffective products, but you know better.&amp;#160; No program can promise a certain amount of improvement in your vertical jump. Everyone is different and how much room for improvement is varied from person to person also.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you take a look at the Vert Freak 101 landing page, you won't find any improvement promise.&amp;#160; But if you watch the main video, you'll be informed that users gained an average of 8 inches on their standing vertical.&amp;#160; What this tells us is that the people who manage this product actually take time to analyze the statistics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next part of my test is finding out the author of this program.&amp;#160; Just by reading down the site, I discovered that its author, Adam Linkenauger, was a 7x Atlantic Coast Conference high jump champion and the winner of a "National Powerade Dunk Contest."&amp;#160; Just because of my paranoid self, I googled up his name and found that the information matched up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Knowing these two sets of information about any product will help you determine its legitimacy.&amp;#160; &lt;a href="http://vertfreak101.blogspot.com/"&gt;Vert Freak 101&lt;/a&gt; passed my tests and had given me assurance that it was indeed "legit."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, the next thing you begin to wonder is, is the program any good?&amp;#160; I personally took it for a test spin, and am working on a site that goes over everything you need to know.&amp;#160; You can check it out at &lt;a href="http://vertfreak101.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://vertfreak101.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
