Stamina Air Resistance Cross Trainer $250 Stamina Products - Stair Stepping Units - Stamina Products Inc. was founded in 1987. From the beginning, our focus has been to supply quality and value to the fitness and leisure markets. Stamina Products Inc. has the 4th largest market share in heavy equipment, and was the first company to bring the famous Pilates line to the mass market. Stamina Products is a name you can trust when it comes to the highest quality exercise machines and accessories. Stamina's Air Resistance Cross Trainer is an affordable way to work out at home on one of the most popular machines in the gym. Elliptical trainer workouts burn a similar number of calories as jogging but without the risk of injury to the back, knees, hips, or ankles. Since your feet never leave the pedals the Stamina Air Resistance Cross Trainer gives a low-impact workout that is easy on your joints. In fact, whereas jogging, jumping rope, aerobics classes, and exercising on a treadmill all require your body to absorb the force of impact, exercising on an elliptical can be compared to running in midair. Because ellipticals are so low impact and easy on the joints, they are also a good choice for individuals with joint issues or old injuries. Adjust the resistance to control the intensity of your workout. Turn the knob to one of eight resistance levels without interrupting your workout. Elliptical trainers mimic the natural path of the foot, the extension of the leg, and the rotation of the hip during walking or running. This motion uses all the leg muscles, giving you a total lower body workout while the dual action arms work your upper body and let you increase or decrease intensity. Work your arms harder to tone and to burn more calories. The foot pedals can be worked in a forward or reverse direction. Resistance may be added as desired to increase the workload on your legs throughout the forward or backward stride to tone thighs and glutes. Make the Stamina Air Resistance Cross Trainer part of your regular fitness program. Elliptical trainers work the upper and lower body simultaneously so the heart rate climbs more quickly and less time is required to achieve more results Three ways to adjust your workout intensity to get maximum aerobic benefit and toning: air resistance, dual-action handlebars, tension knob Air resistance: the faster you pedal the more resistance Dual action handlebars: add more cardio intensity, tone arms, chest, shoulders and back Tension knob: adjust pedal resistance choose from 8 levels of tension True ellipse motion mimics the walking or running motion of the foot, the extension of the leg, and the rotation of the hip with 13-inch stride length The Electronic Fitness Monitor is elevated with large numbers so it is easy to read during your workout Easy to use single button multi-function electronic monitor (speed, time, distance, calories burned, and scan) Foam hand grips and oversized slip resistant pedals for comfort and safety Attractive two-toned grey housing Recommen

No Resistance $18.63 Nazism casts a long, twisted shadowIn May 1944, Colonel Alfred Brunnerman of the Gestagp interrogated a young French Resistance agent named Teresa Masson.

Resistance $15.56 A North Carolina woman dies of a flesh-eating bacterial disease. Thousands of people in West Africa are suffering from cholera. And antibiotics are rapidly becoming less and less effective at fighting what were once mild infections. The biggest threat to the future of human society may not be terrorist attacks or nuclear war, but rather microscopic bacteria. Immunologist Norbert Gualde explains in Resistance the dangers we face from bacterial resistance, asserting that we must confront the reality awaiting us--the next fatal plague may occur sooner than we think. Over the course of the twentieth century, incredible advances in medicine inspired a utopian belief among many that all common infectious diseases would eventually be eradicated. But Resistance shows that this dream is an impossible one. The book’ s riveting narrative reveals how new infectious agents and diseases are being discovered every day and how bacteria previously thought to have been destroyed are returning with a vengeance. Drawing upon the history of past epidemics, Gualde explores how new outbreaks might be predicted and controlled. He also investigates the potentially devastating social and political impact of such public health disasters, particularly in underdeveloped countries in the southern hemisphere. He ultimately argues that the constant interaction between man and microorganisms will inevitably catalyze future epidemics similar to the horrific ones of centuries past. Global outbreak monitoring and medical research on the human body’ s immune system are beginning to produce effective strategies against bacterial resistance. But the most important weapon is awareness ofthe crisis, and this engrossing and brilliantly translated study will serve as a wake-up call for us all.

Resistance $7.79 Norway, September 1943. For brothers Marek and Olaf, a hunting trip offers a brief chance to get away from the German occupying forces. But returning home they witness the horror of their father''s arrest by the Gestapo and the start of a brutal regime under the evil Lieutenant Wold. When their daring plan for revenge goes horribly wrong, they are forced to seek refuge in the vast and unforgiving Norwegian wilderness.
