Medicine Ball Pros and Cons
Medicine balls are cheap, easy to use and easy to store. They offer additional resistance to strengthen and tone targeted muscles. Of course, they're also heavy and cumbersome. They may even increase your risk of injury if you use them incorrectly.
When using the drawer on your washing machine to add detergent, liquid and powdered detergent go in the same main compartment. The difference arises when it comes to adding detergents to the drum. Liquid detergent can go into the drum with no problem, but this should be avoided with powder.
If you prefer Liquid Detergents, then fill the measuring device to 35ml for standard loads (4/5kg) and place in the drum. For heavy loads (6-8kg) use 52ml (1-1/2 caps), in hard water areas or for heavy soiling. If you prefer Surf capsules, then simply pop one capsule into the back of the drum!
Powerful cleaning agents that can be included in powdered detergent formulas, but not liquid forms, work to help remove mud, grass or clay stains. Liquid detergent is best used for grease or oil stains on your day to day items, because of its ability to help release and break down stains in fabrics.
In case of heavy soiling, you can up the number by half the earlier amount. So, for example, if you were using 2 teaspoons of liquid detergent, for extremely soiled clothes you now need 3 teaspoons when used on its own. With conditioner it becomes 2.5 teaspoons.
Detergent giant Persil has switched its bottles to 100 per cent recyclable plastic and has ditched the controversial 'dosing ball'. The plastic ball, a small bowl detaching from the main bottle, had come under fire from environmentalists on social media for adding to the landfill.
Front-loaders: Use 1/2 cup of detergent for each large load. This can be increased for very dirty loads or when using cloth diapers or baby clothes (1 cup). Top-loaders and high-efficiency machines: Measure out 2 tablespoons per small load (1/4 cup for a large load) or 3 tablespoons per medium load.
Just fill it as per the instructions above and place it directly into your washing machine's drum, on top of the laundry. Dosing directly into the drum helps you to achieve outstanding results.
Liquid detergent is better for your washing machine. It does not usually clog your machine and doesn't cause your clothes to stain. In fact, liquid detergent also doesn't fade your clothes. Powder detergents often contain bleach which is damaging to your clothes.
The right amount: It's typically 1½ ounces for a normal load of laundry. Instead of going by the faint lines of a detergent measuring cup, you can use a shot glass, which is about 1½ ounces, to be more precise. For larger loads or very soiled clothing, use twice as much detergent.
Never pour the detergent on the clothes. Always pour it at the bottom and fill the washer and then add the clothes.
If the washer has no dispenser, liquid laundry detergent can be added directly to the washer drum or tub. Always add the detergent before you load the dirty laundry to help it distribute more evenly.
Make sure the drum is empty. Do NOT use any cleaning agents or detergents for cleaning the drum. It can cause damage the drum of the washing machine - this applies to Tub Clean as well.
Since there's not one single piece of exercise equipment that can completely replace a medicine ball, you can get creative with tools like a sandbag, kettlebell, dumbbell or stability ball to recreate some of your favorite medicine ball exercises.
Medicine balls are designed to be thrown around without risk of injury or destruction of property, which makes them ideal for generating explosive power, speed, and endurance. With free weights, even explosive movements like kettlebell swings need to be decelerated as you reach the end of the movement.
Medicine ball training is a brilliant way to strengthen the core muscles and when they are strong, your posture and balance improve. I definitely noticed this after a month, and my lower back niggles from sitting at my desk weren't as bad as usual.
