Try contacting some of the marine survey companies and ask what their requirements are. You should be able to get their information on line.Also try Boat US.Marine insurance companies require certain companies do the surveys, so check with marine insurance companies.

could you please state thier brand names, thier price and the shops or websites to get them from.

The most cost effective would obviously be a real bike because you can go places on it without paying for buses/fuel.

Bums and thighs are two areas that many people want to improve upon. My favourite exercises that help work on my bum and thighs are listed here. If you have others that you enjoy, I would love to hear about them!

1. Stair Climbs

Depending on your fitness level, running or walking up stairs is a great way to improve your bum and thighs. Try to use a flight of stairs that is outdoors rather than a stepper so that you can avoid cheating. Stairs can often be found in parks or you can use the emergency stairwells of some buildings like car parks or apartment buildings.

The number of stairs that are available will impact the number of repetitions that you will need to do to ensure you have a challenging workout. Make sure you count how many sets you do so that you can work toward increasing it as your fitness and strength improve. You can also use a time measure to challenge yourself, for example, how many flights can you do in five minutes?

2. Bike Riding

Using your bike is a great way to work on your bum and thighs. You can either ride as a workout or start using your bike for short trips so that you build your strength over time. This is a simple and relatively low cost method of working on your bum and thighs that is also great for the environment as well.

3. Squats

Squats, or for those that are relatively fit, jumping squats, work all of the muscles you need for an amazing bum and thighs. Ensure that you work to a deep squat with multiple repetitions in order to have the desired effect. Keep your legs shoulder width apart and stick your bottom right out so that your legs are at a right angle. Keep your upper body nice and straight so that you are not bending through the waist and placing strain on your lower back. You will need to remain strong in your legs and core to do squats properly and avoid injury. If you are doing squats properly, you will feel it starting to burn in your bum and thighs – just to prove it is working!

4. Lunges

Lunges are great for building your strength in your bum and thighs. You can use static holds or repetition depending on your preference. As your strength increases, you may want to try switches or jumping lunges where you swap legs from forward to back with a jump. To do this, you will need to use all of your strength and it is a great way to use your body for natural resistance.

5. Step Ups

Step up are an alternative to stairs. You can use a step of various heights depending on your fitness level. Make sure you work evenly on both legs and keep the pace up. You should be getting a cardio and strength workout from your step ups so that you are targeting bums and thighs as well as burning fat at the same time.

These are the basic moves that target the muscles in your bum and thighs. There are lots of variations available to increase the intensity and avoid boredom over time. Good luck and if you experience any pain, stop and ask a professional to make sure you are doing it properly.

I gave up on my old HRM a while ago, and decided to buy a new one. I got on a fitness equipment review site, and selected a well reviewed model. Now this new HRM is giving me trouble also. I’m rather frustrated because I consider hitting my target heart rate to be an important part of my fitness program. I’ve changed the batteries. I’ve done what I could to clean the contacts, and the area of skin the contacts are put over. I’ve even used Clearasil figuring that it’s skin oil and dirt cleansing qualities might help, and bought electro-conductive gel from a medical supply. I’m considering calling the manufacturers; but I’m afraid that it’s not the HRM, but me that’s the problem. This is the second HRM this has happened with after all. (It would work fine for the first couple months then it would get less and less reliable.) I’m afraid there’s residues in my sweat that are killing electro-conductivity. Please help.
Son of a… Your suggestion actually worked, TheDuck. At least as far as lately I couldn’t even get the HRM to give me a heart rate at all. I put it on. It gave me a heart rate soon enough; and continued to give me a heart rate for several minutes. It stopped working just now. Not %100 encouraging. Not least of all since I still don’t know what the greater problem was; and that seems to be deteriorating. I used a partially soaked Under Armor shirt, which naturally was freezing as I put it on. I’ll try it tomorrow for a workout. The critical thing is getting a full workout out of the HRM without it crapping out on me. Even if that works, there’s no guarrantees it will work again the next day, or a week from now.
Apology accepted Ubermind. I’m afraid that’s not anything not well known by users of HRMs. After all I’ve yet to hear of an HRM working dry. I don’t think that Clearasil could cause a problem. Certainly I’ve only recently started using the Clearasil, and only in the hope that it would help. It should cleanse the skin of things that might interfere with electro-conductivity. It’s not like I’m exposed to anything environmental. What’s on my skin is what got there through my pores, residues from evaporated sweat. After that wet sweat from the exercise should be fine.
Sorry TheDuck, I got ready for my workout, put on the soaked shirt, now luke warm after being put under scalding hot water, put on the chest band, and turned on the HRM. After waiting a couple minutes the watch gave up on getting a heart rate. Unless someone can offer another suggestion, I guess I’m going to have to call the manufacturers. Here’s hoping I just have bad luck with receiving defective HRMs.

try running with a very thin light t-shirt and place the heart rate monitor over the shirt

have heard that some people have tried this and has worked for them

please drop me a message to let me know what occurs either way

Thanks
