Carbon monoxide is the black smoke produced by cars, such as those found in cigarettes it causes shortness of breath and increased heart rate which forces your heart to work harder. Your oxygen levels will also have returned to normal, helping you breath more easily and smell better. In 24 hours: Carbon monoxide will be completely eliminated from your body and your lungs will start to clear out excess mucus and any other smoking waste. At this stage you might develop a sore throat or cough as new tissue begins to grow in your lungs. In 48 hours: There is no nicotine left in your system and your sense of taste and smell will also greatly improve. One side-effect you may experience within the first 48 hours is light-headedness as the carbon monoxide leaves your system, which may cause a sense of irritation which could lead you to slip and light up.

Women can be tricky, they say something and mean something else, their moods change like the weather on mountain tops but how do we decipher what to make of it ?
Possible reasons
You might be being too clingy, and she might be fiercely independent and so looking for her own space call on the Break. She might just want to end it but doesnt know how to put it across to you and this is clearly the easy way out, by providing you with hope she doesnt have to confront the problem at hand right away. She might be doing this to get your attention you dont know what youve got till its gone. This is because she feels you havent been treating her with enough importance, this on the other hand is risky as it could backfire.

The Pegasus, one of Nikes best known icons and Nikes top selling running shoe fewer materials are used in the upper and smarter pattern-efficiency resulted in less waste, leading to an impressive reduction of 1.4 ounces of weight, or 13 percent, over the previous Pegasus. Less weight = less waste. As with the rest of the line, Environmentally Preferred Materials (EPMs) were used wherever possible. The EPMs used in the upper have a high recycled content.The nike pegasus takes comfort and stability to the next level with its innovative sole design which is mid foot to increase stability while running and zoom air heel for impact absorption. And since they are high arch trainers they distribute wieght more evenly while running causing less pain to the feet while and after a long run.

Kettlebells are impressive tools for fitness but what do the trainers think?
Warren lawerence works at strive fitness and has been a trainer for three years now.
Do you think kettlebells are effective?
Yes depending on what your aims and goals are, i used them if you were going for a full body workout and were short on time.
Tips to safety
The weight itself, single arm or double arm. i would suggest that the double would be safer for beginners. And while switch hands during the swing using momentem it is vital that you have good hand eye coordination. Being aware of weight you are using when it comes to cleans and presses as you are flinging the weight above your head.
Kettlebells are effective for a full body workout in a short period of time, but safety is a key factor and the right technique
