During the 1950s, board skating was seen as a single sport. By the 1990s, it had branched off into two separate disciplines: skateboarding and longboarding. Unlike skateboarding, which focuses primarily on hills and grades, longboarding also involves significant cruising, or level travel. In addition to simply being enjoyable, longboarding is a challenging form of exercise, and it has many<nobr>health benefits</nobr>.</p></section></p><div id="ominiture-article-ad" ><div class="section" id="DMINSTR" name="&amp;ad_unit_network=GAP&amp;ad_unit_type=CNT&amp;revenue_basis=CPC&amp;revenue_tag=art_sub_top_Other_Sports_Recreation,article_top_sports,article_top&amp;adunit_id=ca-livestrong_html&amp;ad_position=T" type="adimpression"><div class="Text SponsoredResults Section" ><div class="flc adsense_ad" >&nbsp;</div></div></div></div><p><section class="section" ><h2 class="subHeader" >Cardio</h2><p class="description " ><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap" id="itxthook2p" ><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan" id="itxthook2w" >Cardiovascular</span></span>&nbsp;conditioning is one of the most prominent&nbsp;<nobr>health benefits of</nobr>&nbsp;longboarding. As cardio sports, boardsports are a good way to get a regular dose of aerobic activity, strengthening your heart and increasing your lung capacity. Skaters who push themselves around on a longboard, across flat terrain or up steep hills, get an excellent cardiovascular workout. Longboarding regularly can help you build impressive levels of stamina.</p></section><section class="section" ><h2 class="subHeader" >Tricks</h2><p class="description " >Tricks, jumps and stunts further add to the fitness aspect of longboarding. Most stunts require a lot of speed, and skaters must work hard to achieve and maintain that speed. Squats, stands and jumps require solid muscle conditioning through a full&nbsp;<span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap" id="itxthook3p" ><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan" id="itxthook3w" >range of motion</span></span>, which adds to the workout. In addition to the cardiovascular conditioning, stunts add other fitness elements to longboarding. Stunts and jumps help you develop explosiveness, balance, coordination and timing -- all of which are important for the sport, as well as for overall fitness.</p></section><section class="section" ><h2 class="subHeader" >Strength and Flexibility</h2><p class="description " >Your flexibility also can improve significantly from longboarding. Many people overlook the flexibility aspect of exercise; it is often overshadowed by cardiovascular conditioning and muscle strength training. But the ability to dynamically stretch and flex muscles helps you move more efficiently and powerfully. Longboarding, with its bursts of intense exercise interspersed with periods of more moderate exertion, helps you develop this dynamic flexibility and power</p></section></p><p><span ><br /><br />Read more:&nbsp;http://www.livestrong.com/article/555442-what-are-the-health-benefits-of-longboarding/#ixzz2J0kvDPMv</span></p>Fri, 25 Jan 2013 11:02:39 -0700How to Select the Best Beach Cruiser Bikes,or Skateboards and Longboardshttp://www.ronsecofriendlyproducts.com/blog/post/best beach cruiser bikeshttp://www.ronsecofriendlyproducts.com/blog/post/best beach cruiser bikes<p>&nbsp;<span >With the best cruiser bikes,and skateboards and longboards as with any purchase you make, you get just about what you pay for!

The following tips and suggestions will help you to select some that will give you the illumination you want and years of beautiful service.</p><p>With the best outdoor solar lights as with any purchase you make, you get just about what you pay for! There is a significant difference in quality when you spend $20 per light as opposed to $10 per light. If you're looking for something durable, stay away from plastic housed lights. This is especially true if you live in a climate that has lots of rain and snow. You'll want to purchase lights that are housed in a durable, aluminum housing. It is best to get select lights that have a thermoset polymer finish to ensure that they re waterproof and rust resistant. Another feature to look for to ensure durability is mono-crystalline panels. There are many poly-crystalline panels available, but will not operate as efficiently. Mono-crystalline panels feature a single piece of silicon that more efficiently turns sunlight into power.</p><p>Most of the best outdoor solar lights run on LED bulbs. However, you will want to verify that this is actually the case on the ones that you purchase. LED bulbs will give you a much longer life and operate significantly more efficiently. A typical incandescent light will operate for approximately 1000 to 2000 hours, whereas an LED bulb will last for 25,000 to 50,000 hours. It is important to note, however, that LED bulbs are not as bright but they will operate with plenty of illumination for most outdoor applications.</p><p>While there is no ongoing cost for electricity once you have installed the best outdoor solar lights, it is important for you to know that they do run on batteries. Li-Ion batteries have the longest lasting battery life and they are not affected by extremes in temperatures. They are definitely more expensive, but worth the extra cost. NiMH batteries are also efficient and have long lasting life. They are less expensive and come in a wide range of sizes and styles for a variety of applications. There are also a wide variety of other types of batteries to choose from such as nickel cadmium to lead acid to AA.</p><p>Do your homework before purchasing the best outdoor solar lights. There are many different styles that perform a wide range of applications. You'll find motion detector varieties, spotlights, security lighting, pathway options, and entirely too many others to mention. Choosing those that will best suit your application is important.</p> Mon, 24 Sep 2012 07:56:40 -0600
