Definitely a health thing, the Refresh-It Bidet is the latest home product that the 10in30 Fitness team fully endorses. I for one, am more proud of this purchase than many of the fitness products I’ve tried lately.
The fact that we Americans do not use bidets is unbelievable. Cleaning ourselves with dry toilet paper is hygienic and healthy? I don’t think so. Using wet wipes is better, but not good enough because paper does not clean as well as water does. But you don’t have to buy an expensive and separate bidet to have a completely clean butt. TheRefresh-It Bidet costs under $40 and attaches itself in around 15 minutes to your regular toilet. I installed mine and now I can’t wait to poop! 🙂
It needs no batteries. It attaches to your regular water line that’s already attached to your toilet. You mount it using the two seat cover screws in minutes.
Here’s a video of some poor chap named Matt who’s demonstration didn’t go too well:
And here’s a video with a girl wearing white pants demonstrating the Refresh-It Bidet. You know she uses the bidet or she wouldn’t be wearing white pants, right? Am I right?

Apparently, you have been pooping all wrong and in an unhealthy way. The angle of your legs at the hips determines how efficient your bowel movement will be. So, according to the research done by the Squatty Potty people, your knees need to be by your shoulders in order to relax the colon muscle and and deliver total elimination.
The Squatty Potty is a toilet stool that allows you to do this much better than an ordinary stool because of the cut-away design that let’s it position right up to the toilet. I have one and let me tell you, it is great.
Here’s a video explaining the whole thing on the TV show “The Doctors” as they have fun with the Squatty Potty:

Summer’s here! Time to exercise outdoors. You can get a really good body weight workout at the park and you can burn a lot of fat fast while preserving lots of muscle.
The key to losing fat fast his to do HIIT cardio. That’s high intensity cardio that uses your fast twitch muscles as well as your heart. One of the best ways to do HIIT is to make your entire body fly through the air with high jumps.
If you’re not familiar with box jumps or any kind of high jump where you land on a platform, start by jumping onto the seat of the bench or another short platform that’s probably lower than your needs. Do 10 of those, rest for around a minute and then do 10 more.
If you can handle it do 20 at a time before resting for a minute. Work your way up to the point where you’re able to jump onto the table itself. Of course, the difficulty depends on your height.
The goal is to do 10 table jumps at a time. When you land on the top of the table be sure to extend your legs so that you are standing upright.
Let me see your table jumps! Record yourself doing these and post it on YouTube, then leave the link in the comments. Show off your awesomeness!

Circuit 3: Butt and Leg Killer
Remember that all of these circuit workouts are whole-body workouts, but each one emphasizes a body part group more than the others. This one will shape your butt and upper legs tight in no time!
Perform indicated reps of each exercise, then move on to the next exercise. Rest at the end.
2-3 rounds! 1.Burpies
No pushup and be sure to jump high at position 4.
12 reps
_________________________________________
2.Kettlebell 2-handed Swings
12 reps. No kettlebell? Substitute with a heavy weight plate with handles or a dumbbell held vertically by the top. Careful not to throw it at anyone. Make sure you are “hitting hard” when you thrust with your hips by clenching your butt muscles (glutes). This will propel the weight upward, allowing you to use heavy weight.
_________________________________________
3.Kettlebell or dumbbell Front Squats
(kettlebells in front of chest)
With a heavy kettlebell or dumbbell squat all the way down like the man. Keep your back arched like the woman, but don’t stand all the way up. That’s resting. Instead, stop when your thighs are at around 45° to the ground.
12 reps
_________________________________________
4.Plank Madness
This will be a timed exercise. Get on your elbows as in picture 1 and raise your butt up and down by crunching your abs every second until you survive 30 seconds. Make sure you’re concentrating on contracting and squeezing your ab muscles to raise your hips. Super hard.
Then, without pausing, get on your left elbow like in picture 3 and raise/lower your hips again, every second until you hit 30 seconds/30 hip raises. When finished, switch to your right elbow and do the same. Then rest 30 seconds. Do this whole thing twice.
Wanna be a superhero? Add a weighted ball for the side raises. No ball? Raise your feet.
Reps: 30 hip raises in 30 seconds, each side (Straight, Left, Right) Sets: 2 Rest: 30 seconds after Straight, Left, and Right sides are done
_________________________________________
5a.Doggie Glute Lifts
(if you are a man or otherwise don’t want to do these, see 5b)
On hands and knees. Raise foot behind you by curling it like a scorpion. Really crunch it. Hold 1 sec.
Back down, knee to chest. (foot doesn’t touch ground, keep raised)
Kick leg straight out & high, then lower to almost touch ground. Raise & lower 5 times.
Back down, knee to chest. (foot doesn’t touch ground, keep raised)
“Doggie peeing”. Return knee to bottom but keep it suspended, then lift to side and straighten leg. Raise & lower 5 times.
5 reps, switch legs
5b. One Legged Lunge Jumps!
No weights. Lunge deep down, most of your weight on your front foot, rear foot barely touches the ground with your toes for balance.
JUMP up high enough so that your leg is straightened and land on the ball of the same front foot, (not the heel) immediately hopping back up into your next jump.
Stand with a barbell on your back and have a Step ready in front of you. The step should be high enough so that your upper leg is near parallel to the floor when stepping up.
Step forward with your left leg and go down slowly almost letting your right knee touch the floor. Then in one motion, stand up by bringing your right leg all the way forward and up onto the step. Now power yourself onto the step and bring your left leg up as well. You’ll now be standing completely on the step. Don’t just stop and rest up there! Immediately come back down slowly with your left leg so that your right leg is working hard to lower yourself. Don’t just drop! Now bring your right leg down and all the way back to its starting point while bending your left leg slightly so that you’re doing a reverse lunge. Lastly, slide your left leg back to the starting point where you stand up straight.
That’s HALF A REP! You now have to do it again but lead with the right leg. The full rep is done when you do both legs, “One—one. Two—two. Three—three”.
Just like the squats, use light enough weight so that you can do 3 sets of 10, but this time with only 30 seconds rest in between. If you’re starting to conk out during your 2nd or 3rd sets, you can adjust the weights accordingly.
Reps: 10
Sets: 3
Rest: 60 seconds only after both legs hit the 10 reps
Pace: around 1.5 seconds per move, non stop.
_________________________________________
7.Dumbbell Squat, Curl & Press
This next exercise combines squatting, biceps, triceps and shoulders in a lighter, faster exercise for maximum fat burn! Grab a pair of light dumbbells.
Stand holding light dumbbells at your thighs. Women use 3-5 pounds, Men: 10 pounds. Adjust as necessary.
Lower yourself to a squat position while curling the dumbbells.
HOLD the squat to where your upper legs are parallel to the ground or at least 45°, do not rest your elbows on your thighs, don’t sit on your ankles.
Extend your arms and rotate the wrists so that your arms are at a 45° angle to the floor, palms facing down.
Still holding the squat, bring the dumbbells right back to your shoulders.
Now stand back up slowly and controlled while uncurling your arms
Right back to standing position, dumbbells at your thighs.
REPEAT!
No stalling, no pit stops. Each rep should consist of four 1-second moves (or faster. one second is a bit slow). This exercise will concentrate on speed and getting your heart rate up, thus burning a ton of fat while maintaining muscle! This isn’t meant for you to grow some huge shoulders, quads, or biceps or you’d be lifting real heavy for failure at around 6 reps. You’re still working on those muscles, but the fast, non-stop movements will ensure major fat burning throughout!
Reps: 10
Sets: 3
Rest: 30 seconds
Pace: steady 1 second per move or faster x4 moves per rep

As always, be careful, especially with the jumping exercises or stepping down from the bleachers. Be sure you’re stepping down forward in a straight line instead of at an angle as you don’t want your ankle to roll to the side with the force. I recommend leaning a bit toward the inside while stepping down from any high surface. Good luck, leave a comment and let me know if you have any questions!
Folks, be careful with trying new supplements. There are basically very few supplements that actually work so, to be safe, stick with the true and tried brands and products. The products in my pic above are all made by highly respected companies that most experienced bodybuilders and regular fitness fanatics have been using for most of our entire fitness years. The following article should remind you to be careful with new products, but not deter you from using the time-tested ones like those in my Supplements page.
Melissa Healy, Los Angeles Times
When the Food & Drug Administration recalls your “all natural” dietary supplement for containing prescription pharmaceuticals, you may think that ensures a rapid restoration of the misbranded product to its wholesome natural state, right?
Wrong, says a new study.
Several months after supplements were recalled for being illegally laced with prescription drugs, researchers bought them off the shelves and from the online inventories of supplement retailers and checked whether they continued to contain the illegal substances for which they’d been recalled.
In two-thirds of cases, the supplements did.
And in more than 1 in 5 cases, the researchers found a second (or more) illegal ingredients in the recalled products. Either the supplement maker had doubled down in the wake of the FDA’s recall, adding more illegal ingredients to the product, or the FDA had failed to flag the additional adulteration in the first place.
Those findings came in a research letter published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. More than half of adult Americans use nutritional supplements of some sort, mostly vitamin and mineral supplements. But products that often include herbal and botanical extracts and are marketed as bodybuilding, weight-loss or sexual enhancement aids are a multibillion-dollar business.
Unlike drugs, dietary supplements don’t have to be proved safe before being sold, and manufacturers can make general claims about health benefits. With limited powers to regulate nutritional supplements, the FDA in recent years has stepped up its recalls of nutritional supplements that are adulterated with prescription medications.
In the three years beginning January 2009, the agency demanded that 274 such supplements be withdrawn from the market until the prescription drugs they illegally contained was removed.
More often than not, however, the latest assessment suggests the FDA is failing to enforce its orders. The samples–roughly three-quarters of which were produced by American manufacturers–were drawn anywhere from eight to 52 months after recalls had been ordered. The average sample was taken about three years after a recall.
Of the 27 dietary supplements sampled by a team led by Dr. Pieter A. Cohen, 13 were sports-enhancement nutritional supplements, and 11 of them — 85 percent — continued to contain prescription ingredients (including anabolic steroids). Of nine weight-loss products sampled, six continued to contain prescription medications.
“Natural” miracle cures peddled for weight loss can include any number of ingredients, ranging from unproven to outright harmful. The recalled products typically included sibutramine (marketed as Meridia) or phenolphthalein. Phenolphthalein is a laxative that is being withdrawn from over-the-counter medications as a possible carcinogen, and sibutramine was withdrawn from the market in 2010 after it found to have increased the risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attack.
Among the illegal substances found in the supplements were a sibutramine analog, benzyl sibutramine, that’s never been tested in humans.
Although dietary supplements marketed as “male enhancement” are frequently recalled for containing sildenafil (better known as Viagra), only one of the five such products sampled still had the prescription product in it.
If the FDA intends to protect the American public from products that could ply them with unknown prescription medications, Cohen wrote, it will need to increase its enforcement of supplement recalls and may need additional powers or resources to do the job.
