Rev Your Metabolism: Burn fat fast!
June 26, 2008
Hi everyone,
Here is another great workout that I came accross. This is from http://www.self.com/
Learn how to burn more fat, even while you are sitting on the couch!
The workout
These multitasking moves, designed by Kira Stokes, an instructor at Reebok Sports Club/NY in New York City, will create sleek, sexy curves and accelerate your metabolism. How? By building lean muscle, which burns about three times as many calories as fat. Twice-a-week strength sessions, in fact, can rev your engine so dramatically that your body will automatically zap up to 150 extra calories every day, even when you’re sitting on the couch. That can really add up!
You’ll need A pair of 5- to 8-pound dumbbells, a resistance band or piece of tubing tied into a loop and a stability ball
Try it Do two sets of 15 reps of each toner twice a week, giving your body a day to recover between strength sessions.
Include cardio Also do 40 minutes of heart-pumping activity three days a week. It will be challenging, but it’s the ideal dose to deliver a postexercise metabolism boost, a study in Obesity notes. Your body’s calorie-burning furnace will remain fired up for 24 to 48 hours after you swap your sneaks for sandals, says study author Gary Hunter, Ph.D., of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, adding, “You can burn 150 bonus calories a day.” Coupled with our toners, that’s 300 calories daily that are gone, poof, history, in addition to the tons you’ll torch doing the routine.

Jillian Michaels: Motivation
February 24, 2008
Hi I’m Jillian Michaels for America Takes it Off-Choose your Resolution. A big challenge in anyone’s fitness regiment is motivation. Ultimately motivation has to come from within. Make a list of all the reasons that you want to get healthy and be in shape, it’s this list that’s going to define your wellness goals. Be specific, and realistic when setting goals for yourself. In other words, if you’ve never workout out before, don’t expect to run a marathon right off the bat. Rather, schedule 30 walks 5 days a week, and work your way up to a 10 minute mile. Also, take responsibility. The choices that you make determine your destiny. Get out of victim mode. You have the ability to choose your actions in any situation, good or bad, to make the outcome, ultimately in your favor. By getting empowered and regaining control of your life, your goals will become reality in no time.

Are You Training Your Body to be Fat?
October 20, 2007
So…How’s is your weight loss Going? I don’t pose this question to bring on frustration or discouragement but rather to get you to take a step back for a minute and remember the basics. When approaching fitness it is essential to remember that our bodies are amazing and the majority of the time they stay in perfect balance.
Would you like to lose 10 pounds ? Then keep this in mind. The average American gains 1.5 lbs.of fat a year. That calculates out to an excess of 5,250 calories for the year or an extra 14.38 calories per day! This means that that one last bite at dinner, if it is one bite too much, really does add up!!! The point is physiologically speaking our bodies are smart and function exactly how they should. What ever form we are right now results mostly from our life style and habits or in essence how we are “training” our bodies’ everyday. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results. If we want a different outcome then we have to make some changes!!
Why do we do what we do? How does this effect our ability to lose weight? It is important to change our habits, but before we can be effective in making that change permanent, it is essential to evaluate the core of our being and analyze our belief system. Everybody does everything for a reason. If we can alter our belief system and change the way we think that will result in a change in behavior and a change in our habits, and a change in our overall fitness level.
For example: You get home late. You have been driving the kids to and from school, to soccer and back home again, and it has been a long day of running errands and finishing work. You come home to a house that looks as if a tornado has passed through. You are tired, worn out and just need a little break. You go to the refrigerator and open the freezer and you see the carton of ice cream screaming your name. You reach in and grab the carton with a giant spoon and you begin digging away. What is it about the ice cream that you believe is going to help you feel less stressed? There is something or you wouldn’t have been eager to grab that container. Many people turn to food as a comfort. I am not saying we shouldn’t enjoy food; it really should be a pleasure in life but there needs to be a healthy balance.
It is when you become dependent on food that you are going to over eat and think that food is the enemy and ultimately develop an unhealthy relationship with food. We have to get back to truth. Is food an enemy? Of course not… we would not be living if it weren’t for food. Is food going to relieve our stress? Most likely not. It is only going to distract us from the problem that we don’t want to face. Make sure your belief system is based on truth! Then begin building your fitness habits from there.
