SailorBags Makes its Debut at Outdoor Retailer

The practical sailor and sportsman looking for durable, affordable items to take on their next outdoor adventure can look no further than SailorBags http://www.sailorbags.com.

"Our company is built on the promise of virtually indestructible products for every sailing and sporting need. Items are water resistant, washable, stain resistant, and UV protected with a women's jackets lifetime guarantee," said Anne Zimmer, president, SailorBags.

Used by boating schools, and for marine charters and sailing races, SailorBags include duffels, soft cooler bags, stow bags, and computer/electronics gear in sizes to accommodate and protect electronics, sporting gear and up to a week's worth of food and clothing.

In time for Outdoor Retailer http://www.outdoorretailer.com/summer-market/, SailorBags is expanding its line with two new products.

  •     Sailcloth Hats for Men and Women. One size fits most with a 3-inch brim for men and a 3.5-inch brim for women, and a convenient clip attachment to protect from blowing away in strong winds. Retail for $35 (Men's), and $40 (Women's), and available in late August 2012 - http://www.sailorbags.com/coming-soon.
  •     Sailcloth Bucket Bag. These bags are both practical and decorative. Great for use on the boat, at the cottage or relaxing at the beach with family, they will hold seashells, flowers, guest towels and more. Available in four colors, and retail for $29. Available in late August 2012.

To ensure fabric quality, SailorBags manufactures its own sailcloth in the exact manner as Dacron?—the same polyester that sails are made from—but without the resins and chemicals that make the usual sailcloth fabric stiff to handle. The result is tightly woven, water- and stain-resistant sailcloth that acquires its own patina and personality with use over time. The fabric is gentle when it needs to be, such as on boat finishes, and tough enough to be tossed and stowed.

SailorBags will be exhibiting in booth PV563 at Outdoor Retailer on August 2-5, 2012, in Salt Lake City.

The SailorBags line of products can be purchased at http://www.sailorbags.com/wholesale and in retail stores, gift boutiques and marine shops across the country. Regular product pricing starts at $17.50. Wholesale pricing is available for qualifying orders.

15 Fun and Engaging Family Activities For All Ages

Finding things to do with the entire family in tow is not always an easy feat. There are many reasons for this, one being agendas. A lot of times family outings end up with the children in tears and you wishing you were in bed, with the covers pulled up and a pillow over your head. Eventually, we develop a sort of mental block as to what is fun as a family and what can be traumatic for everyone involved.

Have no fear! The following is a list of engaging activities for you and your children to enjoy together. The list is long, so there are many options for you to try. Just remember, the goal is to enjoy yourselves (at least a little) if you want to have a successful family activity. This starts with smiling, read the studies.

F A M I L Y F U N

1. DANCE! Ever feel like going to the park with the kids and strutting your stuff on the dance floor all at the same time! Baby Loves Disco is your kind of place! With locations in dance clubs across the US, you can host a birthday party here or just go for an afternoon of dancing with the kids.

They play fun disco tunes and you can have snacks and drinks when you need to refuel. Check your local area to see if any clubs are holding Baby Loves Disco during the day. If you cannot find one, submit a location or area to the company and they will try to open one up! What a great way to spend an afternoon!

2. MUSEUMS. Local Art, Childrens or History Museums - Children like to go to museums, especially if it means having fun. Pack a picnic and plan on staying for a while. You can get a tour of the museum on headsets or just walk around together and point out what you like (or do not like) about the artwork or artifacts that you encounter.

3. ZOO. Animals are always a hit, especially with the young ones. Once there, look for petting zoos, primates and polar bears, for some reason kids go nuts over these little fellows. Also, make sure to bring snacks, water and a camera!

4. PARKS. Neighborhood Parks and Theme Parks possess great potential to entertain kids for hours. With lots of space, there is always room for releasing energy and stimulating activity. Make sure to hold on tight and stay together. Talk about what to do if someone gets lost before getting stuck in a crowd. Enjoy the outdoors!

5. FARMERS MARKET. There are wonderful opportunities to talk about health and to see new and interesting things at farmers markets. Take advantage of the platform to show kids how to find good fruits and veggies and talk to farmers about how they grow their crops. This is a great way to get kids interested in the foods that they eat and to discuss nutrition.

6. AQUARIUM. Fish are fun! They come in an abundance of beautiful colors, shapes, sizes and habitats. Lots of homes have fish as pets, but many kids have not had the opportunity to explore fish stores and aquariums. It can actually be a relaxing experience (as long as you agree beforehand that you are leaving all of the fish at the store!) The next time you are looking for a rainy day activity, put the slickers and goulashes on and go fishing at the aquarium!

7. MOVIES. If your child is over 3 years old, the movie theater can be a great treat. Pack some of your favorite healthy snacks, grab a sweater and catch a fun flick. IMAX theaters are in many cities across the US now and have great educational films for kids, not to mention the theaters are enormous and have incredible sound systems.

8. THEATER. There are many theater companies in even the smallest towns with childrens theater. Check your local playhouse to see if anything is coming up in your neighborhood. If so, buy some tickets and make a date. If not, create your own play, complete with script, costumes and makeup! Action!

9. LIBRARY. As long as your child is capable of being quiet, this should be a mandatory experience for children as someday it might be a thing of the past. Most local libraries have weekly story time, which can be a lot of fun for young kids. Many libraries even have staff lead songs and art projects. Check your local library for details.

10. CITY HALL. Do your kids know what government is? Probably not. However, City Hall can be a great place to talk to kids about the local lawmakers, while showing them the courts and politicians of the city. If your child is over 7 years old, schedule a class field trip for these future voters and politicians of America!

11. GOLF. Whether you go to a miniature golf course or a putting green, golf is a good, all around fun activity for the whole family. Plan to make a few hours of the game and enjoy it. Just make sure that all kids understand proper form and that golf clubs are held *differently* than baseball bats.

12. SKATING. Ice skating and roller skating are great activities for both boys and girls. Skating encourages motor skills and physical activity as well as family bonding as together, kids can fall down and hold each other up!

13. BOWLING. Strike-outs build self confidence and who does not love to wear those stinky shoes? Bowling is a good, old, all-American past time that all children should experience at least once! Do not forget to bring socks (unless you want to borrow socks from the alley).

14. ART. Make art! Use paper and supplies that you find around the house, yard or school. Create projects that involve nature and color. You can make self-portraits, a family painting or a family mural. Just remember that there is no wrong way to make art, except if you do not make it.

15. BASEBALL. Take them out to the ball game. Need I say more? Oh yes, bring a coat if it is cold out and be prepared to sing and eat peanuts.

So, now you have 15 activities to enjoy as a family. Each one can be done as many times as you wish, so if you try them all, you are bound to love at least a few of them! There are many fun activities that you can do with your family. Don't be afrai fashion coats online d to get creative with your family adventures. Be prepared with food, warmth, money and your smiles and everything should be just fine.

Sydney Personal Trainers 10 Best Xmas Fitness Gifts Ideas

If youve ran out of ideas on what to get your friends and family for Xmas then why not buy them a fitness gift? A fitness gift is practical and something that will go towards making them look and feel better, and who doesnt want that? Below is my official guide to the Best 10 Xmas presents for 08.

1. A Gift Certificate to a Health Store
Instead of buying chocolate, sweets and other junk food why not buy a weeks worth of groceries from your local organic health store? After all, who eats as healthy as they should over the Xmas period? Having a weeks worth of organic food will only improve your loved ones health.

I used to think organic foods were just for rich people and hippies but I couldnt have been more wrong. Now I do most of my shopping at organic stores particularly when buying foods that are traditionally loaded with hormones, pesticides and other nasty chemicals. The secret is to go there with a budget, look to spend say $60 on protein, $30 on fruits and veggies and $10 on miscellaneous items.

2.) A Gift Certificate to a Sports Store
As far as getting the best sporting equipment and apparel you cant beat a good sports store. Its best to give a gift certificate because everybody has different likes and dislikes particularly when it comes to clothes.

3. A Gift Certificate to a Massage Therapist
This one is a no brainer because who doesnt like to be pampered every now and then? Most people are super busy and stressed during the holiday season so nothing will come close to a good massage to relieve the tension.

4. Sporty Gift
If youre buying a gift for an athlete or a sports enthusiast then getting them something that will compliment their sport or hobby is a great present.

5. Whole food based Supplements and fish oils
In all my years as a personal trainer and fat loss coach I have only ever found 3 supplements worth incorporating into a fat loss program: whole food based multivitamins, protein powders and fish oils.

A whole food based multivitamin provides the body with essential nutrients that are difficult to obtain unless your diet is 100% perfect. Even though I eat very well I leave no stone unturned when it comes to my health. Make sure you choose a whole food based multivitamin rather than the synthetic brands you see in most pharmacies and supplement stores.

Fish oils or E.F.A (essential fatty acid) supplies the body with important omega 3s which maximizes health, performance and body composition. Research shows that krill oil is the most effective EFA.

Protein powders are a great meal for on the go snacking, when buying protein powders make sure theyre low in simple sugars and are whole food based.

6. A Foam Roller
Most people spend far too much time sitting down: sitting down on the commute to work, sitting down all day at work, sitting down on the commute home, sitting down in front of the T.V, its no wonder so many people have postural problems. Then when they do finally workout too many people spend too much time sitting down throughout their workouts: sitting down on the exercise bike, sitting in a machine, sitting down through rest periods.

This is where a foam roller is handy. Its a superb tool for corrective self massage that will dramatically improve performance, posture and enhance injury prevention. Its ideal for the last 5 minutes of a workout to promote healing of the small micro tears in your muscles that are produced after intense training.

7. Resistance Bands
Resistant bands are a great tool because theyre simple to use, lightweight to carry and will add variety to your training. Whether you travel frequently with work, are a busy mum looking for a quick workout, or would just like to train outdoors in your local park, bands can provide you with a great total body workout.

8. Subscription to Fitness Magazine or Exercise Book.
If youve read a great fitness book yourself then why not buy a friend or family member the same book? Even better hook them up with a yearly subscription to their favorite fitness magazine to keep them motivated all year long. One of my favorite magazines is mens/womens health. Its loaded with workouts, nutrition tips and new exercises that will keep your training fresh and enjoyable.

9.) I pod
Depending on who youre buying for this option could be a bit expensive. Load women's coats your I Pod with your favorite songs, put your trainers on and your ready to go.

10.) A Gift Certificate to a Fitness Boot Camp
Boot camps provide a fun and exciting team environment that guarantee better results than one-on-one personal training for only a quarter of the cost, its a total no-brainer. Find a fitness boot camp with lots of social proof i.e. before and after pictures and make sure they have a solid reputation. Plus any good boot camp will offer a free 1 week trial, a money back guarantee or both. This means you can sign up risk free and find a camp that best suits you.

Join a fitness boot camp with at least one other friend or family member or buy a boot camp gift card to give to your loved ones. As a boot camp trainer myself, I know firsthand that clients always get better results when they embark on a fitness journey with others.

Train hard through the holidays and have a happy and safe New Year!
