A New Year, A New and Leaner You!
Posted on January 25, 2010
As most people put on weight beginning the Thanksgiving holiday up to the Christmas season, losing weight must probably be the most popular New Year's resolution. A lot of those who give up on their resolutions do so because the extra effort and time required for them to lose that weight isn't so freely available. People rush back to their office desks to make up for lost work hours eaten up by the holidays. People end up not being able to eat right and healthy. There's not much time to get into a regular exercise routine with all the work backlogs that need to be accomplished. These just add up to an already progressing increased weight challenge.

How to burn fat without moving your feet with kettlebell workouts
Posted on December 21, 2009
There are much more effective ways to burn fat than running. In fact going for a 20 - 30 minute jog is the last thing that I would prescribe for fat loss. Not only do these jogs magnify injuries in the untrained individual but also reduce your potential for future fat loss. Kettlebell workouts offer a better way to burn fat fast and you don't even need to move your feet.
Running for extended periods of time in most individuals usually causes some kind of injury. The problem with running lies in the constant repetition and the excessive loads going through the kinetic chain from the foot upwards. Research shows that 4-7 times the body weight of an individual travels through the body with every single foot strike. Now add on top of this 1500 average foot strikes per mile and you get an idea of the repetitive load that the body deals with on a 30 minute run. Kettlebell workouts involve no foot strikes and limited repetition.

For those of you who don't like or can't eat tuna, you may be wondering: is there a substitute for tuna in the 3 day diet? Well, you are allowed to have a very small amount of chicken, peanut butter and vegetables, if that counts.
Free Ab Workout Routine
Posted on November 22, 2009
Before you begin looking for an ab workout routine it is important that you have a nutrition plan in place. Remember, diet is the most important part in weight loss. You should also be doing regular cardio exercises (at least 5 days a week, 20-30 minutes at a time). Only when you have taken some time to plan these aspects of your ab training can you begin to think about a workout routine.
In most cases it is enough to do exercises targeting the abdominal muscles themselves only 2 to 3 times a week (and this may already be much). Muscles need time to recover and without giving them time to rest they will not grow.
What You Should Know About Fad Diets
Posted on November 5, 2009
We need to understand some basic facts about obesity. A lot of people tend to think that if you are overweight it then naturally you have a metabolic disorder. An example of metabolic disorder which could make you overweight is thyroid disorder. However there are some cases where you are obese and yet you do not have any metabolic disorder.

What Is the Fat Loss Heart Rate?
Posted on August 21, 2009
We all know about the importance of a cardiovascular training routine. But just running on a treadmill won't do the job. You have to maintain a “fat loss heart rate” during the workout.
Later on I'll tell you exactly how to calculate your own fat loss heart rate, but first let me tell you why it is important not to exceed it or go below it:
The effectiveness of cardio workouts is mostly dependent on your pulse during each workout. Though I can assume that you value the importance of cardio workouts. I also know that many people just run and run without any paying attention to it. Attention to your pulse is important! If you exceed your fat loss heart rate, not only do you not burn fat, You actually work against yourself.
Vitamin D - Could it Be the Superman of Vitamins and the Magic Bullet For Weight Loss?
Posted on August 8, 2009
We have all been wondering where is the magic bullet - the one pill that does it all? If only we could take one tiny inexpensive supplement that not only improved health but also fought disease. If that were to happen the world may just end and the Red Sox may actually win another world series (a little poke at my friends from “the nation”!) Well, a tremendous amount of research points to vitamin D quite possibly being a vital key to health for many of us. Vitamin D plays an extremely important role in the maintenance of all (yes all) of our organ systems!
You will find vitamin D in…

First, set realistic exercise goals.
Exercise routines are started by people for many different reasons. The goals to your exercise program do not need to be grand, but should keep you motivated by being reachable.
