I have just received my powerball from amazon.co.uk and i’m really excited about it.
Well, it is just a device that helps you exercise the wrist in order to build hand and finger strength. All you have to do is grab the powerball and start rotating your wrist clockwise or anti-clockwisely. The faster you rotate your wrist the faster the ball spins(can reach up to 16000rpm) and the harder it gets for you. So, if you want to build on more muscles, then faster spins is best for you, else maintaining the spins at a rhythm that suits you best will definitely be a great fitness/rehabilitation exercise.
By the way, if you are keen to know how the powerball can spin up to 16000rpm by just rotating your wrist, then you want to check out this link. When you reach around 10000-12000 rpm, you will find it hard to maintain the rhythm and even to control the powerball. The sensation is really amazing. It’s like you are holding a mini rasengan in your hand ;-).
Basically the execises that you can do with a powerball are:
- lower and upper forearm
- biceps
- pectoral muscles
- Deltoid
- Grip, wrist and finger strengthening
Check it out on: http://www.powerballs.com/exercise_videos.php?m=Tour and do search youtube for powerball stuffs.
It’s actually a very nice exercise for computer scientists who stay in front of their PC all the time or those “who sit and think a lot” type of people.
kuch bhi na karné se behtaar hain ki kuch pakaar ke hilana shuru kaar do….powerball ko
Trust me, the powerball is a really good investment. It costs around £10-15 on amazon.
Thanks to Sachin K.S (doui) for telling me about the powerball thing.
Cheers and have fun 
I still can’t believe am in England. Anyways, now that i’m here, let’s blog about it.
17 Jan - 18 Jan
The travel really tiring; a bit too much for me. If there was something like a “Sonnet”, i would surely have pressed it and got off the plane. LOL. Twelve “f***ing” hours in that plane was too much for me. Apart from this, the food and service was fine on the Air Mauritius plane.
At the Heathrow Airport, i was really pissed off because i didn’t bring along my chest X-RAY report and i had to do the X-RAY on the spot at the Airport’s Health Control department. I had to wait for another 2 tiring hours before i passed the immigrations. Thank goodness, they didn’t check my luggages else i would have been in deep trouble with all those medicines, pickles, “Boite Fromage”, “Boite thon”, etc.

First time visiting a bit of london. Well dressed with gloves, overcoat, scalf, thick jeans…Hmm sound cool but that much dressings didn’t seem sufficient to me once outside the house…Anyways, i’ve visited a number of shops and it’s interesting to find many shirts/ t-shirts with the “Made in Mauritius” tag being sold for £15-£50. You surely would have got those for Rs 50-250 at “Bazarre port-louis”
