This product review is of the HT 7120 massage chair recliner by Human Touch. We will review this massage recliner in 5 separate categories including the following: warranty coverage and customer service, comfort and ergonomics, ease of use, key features and massage therapy. Each category can earn up to 20 points for a total possible rating of 100 points. The HT 7120 is a mid range massage chair in the $2,000 to $3,000 range.

Warranty Coverage and Customer Service: When purchasing a big ticket item such as a massage chair, you need to make sure you are comfortable with the warranty coverage. There is a wide range of warranty coverage with massage chairs. Human Touch provides you with 3 years for the structure, 1 year for parts and 90 days labor and parts shipping expenses. This is a rather light warranty compared to the industry. Customer service is very good and competent. We give Human Touch a 12 in this category.

Comfort and Ergonomics: Ergonomics is the science of designing products to fit your body and its associated movements. This is particularly important with massage chairs where you need to relax. The HT 7120 has a good ergonomic design and construction. It fits the body well and the adjustments are well positioned. Interestingly, you can adjust the width of the leg ottoman but it cannot be extended. We give this massage recliner an 18 for comfort and ergonomics.

Ease of Use: We are always concerned how the controls of the massage chairs are going to be with so many new features being added to these chairs. Regardless, the controls need to simple and easy to use for the users of the recliner. Human Touch has come out with a very well designed remote for the HT 7120 with a slim design. It has control buttons on two sides of the remote which is unique. The remote goes into a pocket on the chair, so there is not remote stand. The leg ottoman is flipped manually and takes some coordination. We give it a 19 in this category.

Key Features: The interesting features in the HT-7120 are the compression massage and the channel width adjustment in the leg ottoman. The compression massage is based on sports massage therapy. It is a combination of stroking massage and a rocking motion. The stroking massage helps to elongate muscles and also applies firm pressure for deep tissue relief. The rocking motion helps to loosen the spinal joints and relieve pressure. The channel width is adjustable in the leg ottoman. This is a nice feature allowing for the pressure to be adjusted to better accommodate your calves and feet. We give this recliner an 18 for key features.

Massage Therapy: You get a virtual arsenal of massage therapies with the HT-7120 recliner. Select from 3 pre-set programs, 5 manual massage techniques and 3 height adjustments for the back. The 3 pre-set programs include sore muscle relief, energy rejuvenate and auto-demo. The 5 manual massage techniques include rolling, kneading, compression, percussion and vibration. The height adjustment enables you to set where you want the massage on your back. Additionally, you can stretch your lower body, or add heat to your lumbar area as well as massage your feet and calves. This recliner gets a 19 in this category.

The overall rating we give the HT 7120 is an 86 points out of 100. We like the contemporary design of this classic massage chair recliner. The massage therapies are thorough and invigorating. We are concerned with the light warranty with this recliner. The HT 7120 comes with some advanced features and has an easy to use remote. If you are shopping for a mid range model, then the HT 7120 is a massage chair recliner worthy of your attention.

When you are expecting a new baby boy you want to be sure you have everything you need. Usually you will wait until after the baby shower and all of the gifts have come in before you know what you really need to buy. Most often it is impractical boy clothing you receive the most of.

Baby showers are a lot of fun because your friends and family shower you with gifts for your new baby. The gifts for boys usually include cool baby clothes. Sometimes the cool clothes are a lot of fun but they aren’t too practical for a newborn baby. Unless the outfits are for your newborn to grow into when he is around six months old the cool and stylish boy clothing might not ever be worn by your baby.

In addition to the boy clothes you will receive at your baby shower you should also expect a lot of blankets. If you have the opportunity to create a list of items you want then you should. Your list shout include bottles, a baby bath tub, baby shampoo, body wash, lotion, powder, oil, a hair brush, and more. Many gifts for boys can include socks, t-shirts, pajamas, and outfits that are practical.

When you receive gifts for boys many of the items may not be practical. This is because most people who don’t already have kids don’t know what you will need. If this is your first baby you also might not know what is practical. Your baby is going to sleep the majority of the time for the first month or too. Cool baby clothes are fun but not top priority.

You want to be sure to stock up on newborn diapers, wipes, pajamas, t-shirts, bottles, pacifiers, and blankets. You can never have enough blankets and burp rags. If the delivery of your baby is rough, you won’t be up and around doing laundry right away so you want to have plenty to use before you have to be up and about.

Boy clothing is a lot of fun to receive at your baby shower but sometimes it is not the most practical items for your baby. If you have the opportunity to make a list of the things you want to receive at your shower, you should. This will ensure the gifts are practical. You might even think about creating a registry for your guests.

We have all been there, struggling to lose weight and hoping that this new program will be your weight loss cure. What no one tells you is that there is no “one-cure-fits-all” program because we are all built differently. Most diet programs stress food but changing only your eating habits will cause you to lose muscle and not fat. To successfully lose the fat weight we have accumulated, you will need to exercise and this can be accomplished simply by fitness walking.

The goal when losing weight is to get rid of the extra fat on the body and fitness walking will help you reach that goal. Understanding how your body burns fat will help you understand why exercise is more important that a diet when you want to lose extra fat. When you start exercising, your body requires more energy. In order to provide this energy, it will first look to the foods you have recently eaten and then it will look towards your stored fat. The opposite is true when you lose weight with a diet because your body does not require extra energy so it will look towards your muscles to get the extra calories it needs. This is why fitness walking is the best method to use for belly fat loss and any other fat loss.

You do not have to be a rocket scientist or a fitness guru to benefit from fitness walking because it is the ultimate fat loss for idiots program. Anyone can place one foot in the front of the other. The hard part comes when you are determining how many calories you need to burn when walking. This does not mean you have to start counting every little calorie. You just need to understand the formula that will help YOU burn the number of calories necessary to burn away YOUR excess fat.

The first thing you need to understand is weight. You need to know how much you currently weigh so you can establish how many calories you need to burn. This is very important because you will want to burn enough calories to burn the fat. As it would happen, heavier people burn more calories walking than less heavy people. This is where a sneaky weight loss secret comes into play. If you are just a few pounds overweight, then you can put on some ankle weights when you walk to increase the weight your body must support. This will allow you to burn many more calories on your walk.

Another factor to consider is how fast a person walks. This is the second leading factor in determining how many calories will be burned, the faster a person walks, the more calories he or she will burn. This is because people who walk faster get their heart rate up higher than people who walk slower. When the heart beats fast it raises the metabolism which ultimately will help burn more calories, not just during workouts but also long afterwards.

Where you walk is an additional item to factor into your calculation. When you walk, you can either walk uphill, downhill, or on a flat surface. The harder your body has to work, the more calories you will lose. So it would be ideal if you could find a place to walk uphill. Walking downhill, on the other hand, will cause you to not lose as many calories because your body is hardly working.

How much sleep you get is one more item to take into account when figuring your calorie burning efficiency. Not many people know about this little weight loss secret. We all need sleep and if our bodies get enough sleep it will operate just fine. However, if we do not get enough sleep our bodies will not function properly. You will get tired very fast and when this happens you will need to compensate for that tired feeling. Most people will turn to snacking on foods to help them get through their tired part of the day. This adds up to many extra unwanted calories that turn into fat eventually. So if you are trying to lose fat, just make sure you get enough sleep and that will help you a great deal.

Finally there is a quick and easy weight loss cure: fitness walking. Fitness walking will get the heart pumping and help burn unwanted fat. Another thing to keep in mind is that carrying more weight, walking faster, walking uphill and getting plenty of sleep will help more calories to be burned when fitness walking.

Do the symptoms of menopause get you wondering just what the heck your mother told you about life beginning at 50?

For a great many women, the promise of life beginning at 50 has only turned into the reality of menopause beginning at 50 and it isn’t the best experience to have had to wait for.

As a woman gets older all the problems associated with her monthly cycle were supposed to diminish, right? Cramps, periods, mood swings and emotions were all but to disappear but instead she is now experiencing hot flashes, night sweats and a host of other unwelcome symptoms of menopause.

As hormone production begins to wane, symptoms begin to increase. Most often it is the dreaded hot flashes with the accompanying night sweats that are the most uncomfortable to deal with.

For many, the first symptoms of menopause can occur gradually with some symptoms happening only occasionally and infrequently.

As hormone levels continue to decrease these symptoms begin to become more noticeable even on a daily basis.

From there, it can become common to experience hot flashes many time a day as well as at night interfering with your sleeping patterns.

As the level of discomfort begins to increase, many women decided enough is enough an begin searching for better ways to control the symptoms.

Initially, the though of hormone replacement therapy is something to be avoided and usually this is a good approach.

There are many very effective products on the market now that can produce fantastic results. You can find many of these products online if you know where to look.

Researchers have identified many natural ingredients that contain the ability to actually begin the process of resetting your internal thermostat.

Unlike hormone replacement therapy, natural products do not introduce an instant shot of the hormones that give you instant relief.

It can take natural menopause products up to several weeks to produce noticeable results which for many is a small price to pay for getting the relief they are seeking.

Before you decided on what course of action you are going to take getting your symptoms of menopause under control, you should spend a little time doing some research.

See what appears to be working for other women who have made the decision to try natural menopause products to control their symptoms and see how they are doing.

If you decide on trying a hormone replacement therapy product, always consult with your physician about all the various products available and what the opinion on them is.

When you first begin noticing symptoms, that is the best time to consider taking action. Many women try and ignore or deal with it first hoping these will pass quickly.

Natural menopause products can work very well for many women regardless of which stage of menopause they begin taking the products but the general rule is that the sooner you can begin the more quickly you will start seeing the results that you expect.
