Restrictive Diets Are Not a Good Idea For Teens
Posted on March 29, 2010
As parents we sometimes fail to remember that teenagers are going through a lot. Not only with the pressures academically and socially, but also hormonally. Their bodies are growing at the fastest rate they ever have since birth, and their brains are truly learning the critical mental process of decision making. All of these things can make it difficult for them to always make the right decisions when it comes to being physically active and eating healthy. They may know that exercise is good for them and that cookies are not a healthy snack, but that doesn't mean they'll be able to make the right choice every time.

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.

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.
Truth About the 3 Day Tuna Diet
Posted on November 28, 2009

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.
