5 Household Items You Can Workout With
You don't have to have expensive weight equipment to workout. There are many household items you can use for added resistance in a home workout routine. Here are 5 household i…tems that can enhance your fitness program.One gallon of water weighs 8.33lbs. Pick up 2 gallons and you instantly have a set of eight-pound dumbbells. Exercising with two gallons of water not only adds 16lbs to your workout routine, but it also challenges your balance as the weight of the water shifts around with each you movement. Since you can pick up a gallon of water anywhere, getting familiar with working with water gallons can give you more options when on the road or away from the gym.Athletes have used stair steps for cardio and conditioning training for years. Running stadium steps proved to tone the legs and glutes, burn a ton of calories and challenge the heart and lunges like no other exercise. Even if you don't have a few flights of stairs available, you can do a lot with just a single step. Performing a [Step up lunge](http://www.fitstudio.com/exercises/bench-step-up) on one leg, for 15-20 repetitions each, is great for toning the glutes and thighs. [Box jumps](http://www.fitstudio.com/exercises/plyo-box-jump) can be performed on a stair step to increase power production, as well as challenge the cardiovascular system. You can even do upper body exercises on a step, like [tricep dips](http://www.fitstudio.com/exercises/straight-leg-triceps-dips) and [decline push ups](http://www.fitstudio.com/exercises/decline-pushup). If you don't have a step, look for other sturdy raised surfaces like a footstool, chair, picnic table or bench.Increase grip strength, challenge your core, and improve stamina by incorporating a heavy carry exercise in your home workout routine. A large box of clothing detergent can weigh nearly 30lbs. Instead of resting between your normal exercises, take one or two boxes of detergent for a lap to the mailbox and back to boost intensity. Adding a heavy carry to even a simple workout routine can make change the feel of the entire workout, as well as increase overall calorie burn.A broom, mop, or even an broken handle from an old rake can be a very useful fitness tool. Use the stick of choice to practice [overhead squats](http://www.fitstudio.com/exercises/barbell-overhead-squat). Using this type of tool can help improve form, as well as assist with balance. Once you have mastered the broomstick, you are ready for a weighted bar.While you may not have a tractor tire in your backyard, used tires are easy to acquire. Before you start shopping used tires, you have to know what size tire would best fit your strength and workout regimen. Most people flip a tractor tire for exercise, but there are many other [tractor tire exercises](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyLwlvQjq3Q). Once you decide what you want to do with the tire, you can choose the right tire for you. Tractor tires vary in size, weighing 300 to 600 pounds. Since big tractor tires have sturdy sidewalls, they are also perfect for jumping on and off the tire too. If a tractor tire seems too heavy, you may want to start with a 100-pound semi tire. Just remember, the smaller the tire the less sturdy the sidewall.One gallon of water can be used as a 8-pound dumbbell. (MORE)
5 Household Items That Fight Acne
Acne appears at the worst times and can be difficult to eradicate. If you've tried multiple medications and remedies and haven't yet found relief, you'll be glad to learn ther…e are some common household products that might do the trick. Stop investing money into treatments that may or may not work, and give one (or more) of the items below a try. Chances are you've already got these things around the house, and if they don't work you won't be any worse off. You might even be pleasantly surprised.Most of us have plain old everyday aspirin somewhere at home. What not all of us realize is that aspirin is a form of salicylic acid, the same additive in many over-the-counter acne and blemish treatment creams and washes. Aspirin works on headaches by thinning the blood, reducing the swelling of veins in the head that lead to the pain. It theoretically does much the same thing on your face. To try this method, crush three to five tablets and mix them into honey, yogurt, or olive oil to form a thick paste. Spread the paste onto your face and let sit for 10-20 minutes. Wash your face and moisturize well. This method shouldn't be used if you have an allergy to dairy or aspirin, or blood pressure issues.Dunk a tea bag (green tea works best) into a mug of water, and put into the refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes or more. Remove, gently wring out so it isn't dripping, and then lie down somewhere comfortable. Apply the tea bag to your blemish (you can use multiple bags if you want to cover multiple areas of your face) and rest for at least ten minutes. Repeat twice a day. You can use the same tea bag twice before discarding (store in the mug of water in the refrigerator between uses). The natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties of the tea will calm blemishes and act as an astringent on your skin. Your acne will look much better and may improve substantially with repeated treatments over time.Fresh basil leaves work best for this method, but dried will also work. Boil a cup of water on the stove or in the microwave, and then remove from heat. Add some basil to the water. Use about three tablespoons of dried basil, or one tablespoon of fresh leaves (bruise or crush the leaves before adding to the water if using fresh). Allow solution to cool and then pour through a colander to strain out the basil, saving the water. Pour into a small spray bottle and mist your face just prior to washing it every morning or night. If you don't have a spray bottle, keep the basil water in any small container and apply to your face with a cotton ball. Basil kills bacteria, increases circulation and acts as a natural toner that will help clear up acne.While the science behind it hasn't been proven, there are some solid arguments for why baking soda is an excellent natural acne remedy. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is amphoteric, which means it is neither an acid nor a base, but can operate as either one depending on its use. If your acne is caused or worsened due to a pH imbalance in your skin (which is a common situation), baking soda can help by bringing things into balance. It also quite simply acts as an astringent, absorbing excess oils, drying out eruptions, and gently exfoliating your pores. To use, mix baking soda with water or oil to form a paste. You may apply it as a spot treatment directly on blemishes, or use as an all-over face scrub. Test it first, and avoid daily use, as it can cause irritation in many people and, over time, can be excessively drying to the skin.Similar to baking soda, vinegar can be effective against acne largely because it helps correct imbalances between acids and bases on your skin. Vinegar is also a bacteria killer as well as an astringent. To use, mix one part vinegar with three parts distilled water. Apply to a wet face (post-washing is ideal) using a cotton ball. Let sit for about ten minutes and then rinse the area gently using a wet washcloth. Repeated at least three times a day, this process will dry up inflammations. Again, as with baking soda, use caution until you've determined any sensitivity your skin may have to vinegar, and make sure to moisturize, since over time it may cause skin dryness. (MORE)

How many watt-hours does the average American household use?
The average American uses 11400 Watts(1.5kw) of power continuously. This is the equivalent of burning 114 x100 Watt light bulbs, all the time. Multiply this times people in an… average household and you have your answer. The average person globally uses 2255 Watts of power, or a little less than 23 x100 Watt light bulbs. source- {jagadees.wordpress.com/} The source of the above information is not correct. The average household uses approximately 1000 kilowatt hours or 1 million watt-hours per month. 1.5kw is 1500 watts. 15x 100-watt bulbs. Most electric stoves can draw 10kw(100x light bulbs) if the oven and all top units are on highest setting during the initial warm-up. Electric clothes dryers have 4kw(40x bulbs) heaters that cycle on and off during a drying period that can last 30minutes to an hour if you overload. Electric water heaters may have one or 2 elements at 4kw each, but only one element is on at a time. It is the most consistent power-user in most households throughout the year. 3-ton central air systems will draw 3- 4kw including compressor and air circulation unit. The good thing is that electrical power is still relatively cheap considering the amount of work done. Here in SC it is about 10 cents per kwh plus a base rate of 9-10 dollars per month. A kilowatt hour is equal to using 1kw(10x 100watt bulbs) continuously for 1 hour. I would hate to pedal a bicycle generator for 10cents per hour and try to generate a Kwh. In spite of what you may have heard, look for ways to improve the high-power consuming devices first, then working through to computers, televisions, and other lower consuming devices. 1. Every house will be different. If you have a 100 Watt light bulb lit all day you would use 2400 watt hours in a day. You can find out by looking at your electric meter at the start of a day and write down the values on the meter. Then read the meter again at the same time the next day and subtract. To get an average value, look at your electric bill for the month and divide by the number of days in the billing period. You will then know the average amount per day. 2. True The average house in the USA uses very close to 1000 Kilowatt hours per month (MORE)
