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

Wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year 2009!!!

New Year 2009 Resolutions

I’ve made just a few and simple resolutions for 2009

• Work hard and complete my Master Degree course .
• Break the ever famous P****.
• Do something creative.

Shitty resolutions? Hmm…well…that’s me

Yesterday, I was browsing some of the websites that I usually visit once upon a time, and I found a very interesting article. Well, when you see “Google Earth” + “Tomb Raider” + “CHALLENGE” in an article’s title it does attract considerable amount of attention. Right?

What it’s about?

Atari has launched an online challenge in order to promote Lara Croft latest game, “Tomb Raider Underworld“. The most fascinating part of the online challenge is that it uses Google Earth Plugin to play the game.

How the game works?

Everyday, a clue is made available of the website of the game.
Something like this:

“A mysterious three, don’t get lost in the western sea“

You have to search the earth to find the location provided by the clue. If your guess is right and you zoom in sufficiently, you will see an orange Tomb Raider icon. If you see that, it means that you have solved the puzzle. Click on it, fill in the form and win a PS3. Simple!!!

Note: I’m not sure if this contest is worldwide or not. But it’s worth playing it either ways.

Enjoy the online game
