Classic Gymnastics

At first glance, it seems as if the gym staff lost their appeal for exercise. More modern sports and exercise equipment are often preferred in the gym. The almost forgotten but excellent gymnastic bar is suitable for modern health training as it is versatile and offers many movement possibilities. The staff prepares dynamic individual exercises or tries to establish a communicative connection with fun partners and promotes work in groups.

The functional bar can be used in exercises for strength, for mobilization and coordination. A gymnastic bar is a great little device even in combination with other small devices or as a tool for learning back-friendly exercises. Sit up benches are pieces of equipment used in classic gymnastics.

The following different forms of exercise with the bar are divided into individual, partner and group exercises. All suggested exercises can be done to lively music. This stimulates the motivation and willingness to practice.

Individual exercises

Participants can either form a circle or move back and forth around the gym. The following exercises are proposed for dynamic strengthening and for training of the coordination skills, depending on the combination and intensity of each exercise. Some of these individual exercises are easy to remember due to their similarity with familiar movements. Thus, the individual movements are understood and recognized better.
Exercises to improve your mobility:

With the bar in motion:
Each participant has a bar in their hands. The bar is:
1) Circled around the body (roundabout)

2) Supported on the body (paddle steamer)

3) Circled vertically in front of the body (cooking food)

4) Moved to the left and right (boxes)

5) Supported to the back and turned with the knees touching each other (majorettes)

6) Canoed (left - right and vertical movements)

7) Used as a barbell (beach muscle training)

9) Perpendicular to the body before moving (marching band)

10) Held horizontally and rotated (wool wrap) between the palms and fingers (fire)

Phishing Scams with Neteller

Neteller is one of the most senior and most widely used payment methods in online casinos. The company has a perfect reputation and is renowned for its integrity. Recently, however, people have used the name of Neteller to get private and financial information of the users.

However, Neteller's reputation has not been affected, but this shameful deed is a warning for players in online casinos to avoid any careless provision of their personal information. Neteller attracted the leading players in the gaming industry of online casinos a few years ago. It had numerous account holders that used its services for making deposits at online casinos and online poker rooms. The UIGEA was passed in the second half of 2006. According to it, online casinos and poker games were found to be unlawful. This is common during online casino tournaments.

All financial institutions were forced to prevent deposits to casinos. Rather than jeopardize the global operation through the involvement in legal cases in the United States, Neteller decided to abandon the U.S. market. During this time, Neteller worked with funds deposited by American users. After a delay, Neteller paid its debt with the help of a distribution plan that was approved by the government. Recently, the Association of Offshore Gambling has reported that unknown people have staged a fraud and abused of this company name. They were suspected to be undercover representatives of Neteller that kept in touch with the former account holders in the United States of America. They said that additional amounts were paid to the former owners of the accounts. These payments could only be made if some private financial information in was obtained. Thus, phishing scams were applied to get personal information that could be collected and used later on. Neteller was aware of this and responded quickly. The company turned to all former account holders and calculated their revenue based on the approved distribution plan. Always be careful with online casino tournaments as some things just happen quickly.

Neteller only came back on track in July of last year. It appears that the perpetrators of this fraud have partially succeeded. Also, the numerous warnings on the internet and the security measures taken served for nothing. Players fell victims to their greed despite all of these precautions. Fortunately, conscientious contemporaries passed the message and succeeded in stopping these villains.

The Adoption of a Shelter Dog

Dogs in shelters have often had a painful past with humans. It needs a lot of confidence, patience and often a lot of time. Behaviorist Sylvia Chant advises you on the right attitude toward a dog at the beginning of a new life together.



Adopting an abandoned pet and providing a better life for such a pet is very generous and big. People often choose to take care of puppies that have lacked affection and give them all their love.




Take a closer look at the dog standing by your side and you will notice how your new companion perceives these outpourings of affection, the caresses and the attention you provide.



Try to understand its canine reality and what the dog has lived during its stay at the shelter and define its real needs when you welcome it in its new surroundings. The dog has a personal history regardless of its age, just like any other living being.



Unfortunately, the causes of discontinuation are often the same: poor early development of the dog, which causes adjustment difficulties, poor knowledge of their needs, no dog ticks treatment, an unsuitable lifestyle, animal abuse and so on. Dogs often have a lot of difficult experiences when living in a shelter.



Abandoned animals placed in a shelter lose their bearings, their sense of attachment to other living beings (human or animal) and need a familiar environment. They must adapt to the whereabouts of their unknown two-legged caregivers, volunteers, visitors and to their four-legged companions.
Their perception of pheromones throws them into a universe filled with fear, tension, misfortune and a feeling of insecurity that cause them to experience a state of anxiety.



Dogs often lack outlets despite all the attention and care taken by the shelter staff. Life in the shelter is marked by the lack of some social gains such as cleanliness and trust in humans. Some dogs are able to adapt to this environment to a certain extent, while others live in constant stress. Therefore, you should reconsider the real needs of an animal taken from the shelter.



First of all, you need to increase the confidence of such a dog but not suffocate it with affection (the animal may feel attacked in such situations) and thus develop a quiet and peaceful relationship. Its basket should be placed in a quiet place where it can rest undisturbed.



It should be fed at fixed times and children should not invade their space during playtime. Furthermore, it should be taken for daily walks. A dog always needs to explore and sniff around in the garden or so, such stimuli being essential for its balance. You should always remember that your companion really needs a shelter!



Be kind to it. It must adjust to its new life and this is not always easy. You need to teach it the rules of life in its new home and this requires patience and perseverance.



Do not recur to punishments because they only exacerbate its anxiety. Also remember that you need to be available to help your dog adjust. It may be anxious about being alone in an unfamiliar place, so there must be a period of gradual habituation to solitude.



You can get help from a behaviorist, who will guide you and advise you on how to accommodate your new best friend.



Dogs love caresses and hugs and being tickled gently under the neck or on the side. Take time to observe your dog, to see its reactions when you pet it. Some dogs do not enjoy physical contact. Their decision must be respected if so. They should never be "forced". However, others seem to rub on you, move about, lie down, push your hand, lick you and so on...



Beware of false interpretations! Excessive agitation when caressing the dog reflects in tensions. You only feed the fuss and stress if you extend these emotional outpourings.



So stay balanced in your interactions with your dog, when playing with it or when petting it. This will help it adapt better and make it feel safe and more confident. You can do this with a lot of hugs!

And if you feel any frustration, tell yourself that this is the best gift for your dog!
