Fitness Trail

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

With gyms generally being harshly neon-lit, sweaty, airless boxes, blaring music from MTV, is it any wonder that although most people join them with every intention of following an exercise routine for health and fitness, they soon drop out?

But lately, gyms have been taking on a new avatar, being relocated outdoors. This means that you can begin pumping up your biceps and quadriceps once again, but this time basking in the sun, in the leafy green surroundings of a park near you.

A fitness trail (also known as a parcourse) consists of a path or course equipped with obstacles or stations distributed along its length for exercising the human body to promote good health. The course is designed to promote physical fitness training in the style attributed to Georges Hébert. In general, fitness trails can be natural or man made, located in areas such as forest, transportation rights-of-way, parks, or urban settings. Equipment exists to provide specific forms of physiological exercise, and can consist of natural features including climbable rocks, trees, and river embankments, or manufactured products (stepping posts, chin-up and climbing bars) designed to provide similar physical challenges. The degree of difficulty of a course is determined by terrain slope, trail surface (dirt, grass, gravel, etc), obstacle height (walls) or length (crawls) and other features. Urban par courses tend to be flat, to permit participation by the elderly, and to accommodate cyclists, runners, skaters and walking. The new concept of an outdoor gym, containing traditional gym equipment specifically designed for outdoor use, is also considered to be a development of the par course.

Ask the Physical Therapist for 10 simple range of motion or stretching activities, with accompany directions and picture. Make each station as attractive as possible, frame and hang in a hallway. The Fitness Trail may be utilized by all facility staff, family members, volunteers and the residents. It can be a scheduled activity or a spontaneous one. You may want to incorporate the Fitness Trail into restorative programs and/or therapy as well.

The original parcourse was invented in 1968 by Swiss architect Erwin Weckemann with support from Swiss life insurance firm Vita. The first course was built in Zurich, Switzerland. Hundreds of courses were built in Europe by 1972.

Courses built in ensuing years included:
* [US] 1976 “Parcour” exercise trail in County Farm Park in Ann Arbor, Michigan
* [US] 1977 Bruce Jenner Trail in the Lake County, Illinois Forest Preserve District.
* [US] El Estero Exercise Course at Lake El Estero, Monterey, California
* [HK] 1977 Lion Rock Country Park, New Territories, Hong Kong, featuring 15 exercise stations

The history of inflatable structure

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

The first inflatable structure was designed and invented in 1959 by John Scurlock in Shreveport, Louisiana who was experimenting with inflatable covers for tennis courts when he noticed his employees enjoyed jumping on the covers. John also previously worked for NASA on the Saturn 5 program however that did not have anything directly related to the invention of the first inflatable. He was a mechanical engineer and liked physics. John was also a pioneer of inflatable domes, inflatable tents, inflatable signs and his greatest achievement was the invention of the safety air cushion that is used by fire and rescue departments to catch people jumping from buildings or heights.  The first space walk manufacturing company was in New Orleans in a leased warehouse that also sewed horse pads. His wife Frances started the first inflatable rental company in 1968 and in 1976 they built a custom facility for the production and rental of the various products. They marketed the space walks to various children’s events such as birthday parties, school fairs and company picnics. Their son Frank Scurlock expanded their rental concept throughout the United States under the brand name Space Walk and Inflatable Zoo. They have more than 100 locations and can visited at www.herecomesfun.com Frank also founded the first all inflatable indoor play park called Fun Factory on Thanksgiving Day 1986 in Metairie, Louisiana. A second unit was opened in Memphis Tennessee called Fun Plex in 1987. Both locations closed after the value of the property become to great for the operations. The first inflatable was an open top mattress with no sides and called a Space Pillow. In 1967 a pressurized inflatable top was added however it required 2 fans and it got very hot in the Summer like a green house. That version was called Space Walk and adopted as the company name. In 1974 to solve the heat problem, a new product line called Jupiter Jump was created that has inflated columns that supported netting walls which allowed the air to pass through. Further enhancements of this style were developed such as a line of castles and several animals which are referred to as the Inflatable Zoo. In the early 1990’s Frank created the first commercial inflatable water slide called the Aqua Tunnel.

The biggest bouncy castle ever made was in Canada by two inventors. They started in 1994 and finished it in 1996. Although it has never been blown up it is believed to have 61 floors in a height of 157 ft (48 m) and 400 ft (120 m) wide. Some people have valued it at $200,000 but health and safety officials have deemed it too unsafe to be used. There are 20 obstacle courses and one giant slide which is believed to be over 100 ft (30 m) high with two drops in the middle of it causing even more speculation it will be demolished. Other features include zip wires, ball pits, a main stairwell and balconys.

The record for “Longest marathon on a bouncy castle (team)” is 25 hr 25 min and was set by Will Scogin, Patrick Taylor, Miller Wright, David Wilson, Forrest Haynes and Jimbo Wilhite (all from USA) at Northridge High School, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA, on 10-11 October 2008.

Air Dancer

Monday, April 12th, 2010

If you are going after cost effective solutions which will create a friendly atmosphere for your customers and business partners there is no better way than to organize an outdoor activity and promote your business through inflatable products some examples of those are: advertising balloons, inflatable air dancers, advertising blimps, inflatable tents, giant inflatable caricatures, and even inflatable arches. Let’s take a look at some other uses:

An Airdancer (sometimes called a “tube man”, “windyman”, “flyguy” is a large inflatable device consisting of a long tubelike sleeve attached to a powered fan blower, which causes the sleeve to move in a dancing or flailing motion. Simple Airdancers resemble a vertical tube, but variants resembling humans with tube “arms” are also common. Airdancers are generally about 20 feet in total height and are often used as attention-getters for businesses such as car dealerships.

The Air Dancer that has proved to have the longest life expectancy in my opinion, is made from a state of the art racing sail spinnaker material called 1.5 oz Fibermax from Challenge Sailcloth. The material uses the highest quality nylon yarn and is woven tight, and then heat treated for further tightness. It is then dragged thru a bath of resin impregnating it. It has the highest dimension stability of any ripstop in the world. Dimensional stability is a measurement of how much it stretches when pulled diagonally. The Material greatly reduces stress points where the non-giving area around the lettering meets the ripstop
Inflatable air dancers are very popular advertising tools because they quickly draw attention towards your business; they are often used by car dealers, car wash establishments and any other business which is running an exclusive sale.

Inflatable air dancer can be categorized as: fly guys, sky ticklers, tube dudes, arrow dudes, logo dudes, air flames & tubes, custom tube dancers, mini tube dancers, maxi tube dancers, wireless tube dancers and so on. So many different styles offer customers a large range of choice.

Inflatable air dancers with an arrow are also called arrow dudes. They are commonly used to direct ways. If you write a restaurant on the arrow, people will know that there is a place for eating not far from here. If you write a car wash on the arrow, drivers understand that we can have our cars wash here. If there is a big sales meeting, put this arrow dude at the entrance or by the roadside, writing sale or car sale for advertisements. Potential customers may be attracted to see what is really going on. This kind of inflatable air dancer is eye catching. People can notice it from far away, and so bring a good number of customers and increase your turnover.

Swing Sets of Different Materials

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

A swing is a hanging seat, usually found in a playground for children, a circus for acrobats, or on a porch for relaxing. The seat of a swing can be attached to a chain or a rope. Once a swing is in motion it continues to oscillate like a pendulum until external interference or drag brings it to a halt. Swings are the favorite of kids. Nowadays, swings are of various kinds. Just based on the material, they can be separated into metal swings, plastic swings, wood swings, rope swings, rubber swings and so on. The following is a brief introduction of the former three kinds of swings.

Metal swing sets are also known as traditional swing sets. Metal swing sets are considered to be the strongest, toughest, and sturdiest swing sets. It is manufactured mainly using rust resistant galvanized steel. Metal swing sets are available in different sizes and styles. It is the most cost effective form among all the different types of swing sets.

However, Weather is a constant threat to a play set frame and over the year’s rain, snow, high winds, excessive UV sunlight and insects and animals will take its toll and begin to corrode the metal.

Plastic swing sets are a good choice for most people, considering their light weight, low price and durable, as most of plastic toys. One of the important advantages that a plastic swing set has is that it can be used indoors. This will provide more safety for children. With more children being confined to indoor activities, a color plastic swing set in the children’s room can provide them with the much-need physical activity. It is ideal for those parents who do not have time to spend time with their toddlers in a playground.

Wood sets should be the best choice for swing, without considering their price. a wooden swing set is a classy and great looking feature to any back yard, but what is the benefit of wood over plastic. Well, it is not so much a question of benefit, as the difference can be purely aesthetic. Wood sets could result in splinters if not properly constructed or tended to. For that reason it is best to invest in a good quality set for your children’s safety.

Definitely, different swing sets have different features, you can choose one according to your own condition and likeness.
