The Secret to Better Health

Government funded scientists have discovered a miraculous fact - well known by fitness lovers for centuries. Exercise benefits everyone – at just about any age. Exercise can help you take charge of your health and maintain a level of fitness necessary for an active, and happier lifestyle. Many people think that as we age, we tend to slow down and do less; that physical decline is an inevitable consequence of aging. For the most part, this does not have to be true.

Think back and remember the last time you worked so hard you were sweating. Breathing heavily and sweating profusely. Feeling really drained and a sort of natural high. And after an invigorating shower, felt a renewed energy - a vigor that seemed to last. Didn't that feel great?

Can't make it to the gym? Many fitness buffs enjoy the benefits of exercise at home. Some even create their very own home gyms. Why not turn that extra room into your own little fitness center? Try some simple, yet effective exercises in the privacy of your home several times a week. Do you have room for an exercise bike? Or how how about a few dumbbells. You can achieve great results with a few basic weights. Exercise more and feel the benefits of better health. You'll look better and feel better! Relax - enjoy the journey towards better health. Have way more fun and enjoy life in a healthy body!

Give Your Metabolism a Boost

Have you ever wondered why you had so little trouble staying skinny as a youngster? And now - 20, or even 40 years later - the quest for a slim and better toned body shape seems harder with each passing year?
When you were young did you play outside more? Did you enjoy running around indoors - or out - with your friends? Did you spend far less time sitting and more time playing? Did you move your body more? Were you generally - more active?
When we were young - our metabolism ran faster. It's nature. Our metabolism tends to naturally slow down a bit as we age. You also may have tended to watch way less TV and do more outside. We played, ran around, rode bikes or skateboards. We had fun doing things that did not require any electricity or batteries! Many of us didn't have a tv in our own room. Or a hand-held piece of technology to entertain us. Game consoles were not common-place.
So how do you boost your metabolism and get skinny again? Or perhaps, closer to a healthy weight and body shape?
Two simple habits - exercise and healthy eating choices - are vital to boosting your metabolism. And burning more calories. And building muscles instead of growing fat cells.
Tabata is a great way to lift your metabolism and build some muscle tone! Try this to get started -

Want to burn more calories all day? Try working out with weights every other day. Start your day off right with a protein-packed breakfast. Give your body the fuel it needs to build muscle and burn more fat! Running is a great way to boost your metabolism.

What and how you eat plays a big role in raising your metabolism - and burning calories. Protein boosts your metabolism. Eating more fiber helps too. Your body has to work a little harder to process fiber. Even drinking more water can give you a boost!

If losing weight and feeling more energized are on your agenda - try adding some exercise to your day. And keep eating healthy.

Turn Back the Clock on Your Belly

How do you reverse years of growth in the old midsection? Has your tummy taken on a new, larger and unsightly bump? Did your children ask you to play Santa over the Christmas Holidays?
Luckily, you can reverse that trend and return to the slim and trim belly you had in younger years. Here's one way to get started:

Cardio - like running or even a quick-paced walk will help you burn some of that belly off. Eating right is vital if you want to lose your belly! Sculpt your abs with the Workout above. The more you work - the quicker you'll see results!

Where Did This Belly Come From

We never looked like this in college. I drank way more in those eight years of college than I have in the decades since. Where did this belly come from? What is happening to me? Does this happen to you too?

 Sitting in the mall before Christmas – waiting for the wife to wrap up her shopping – I watched as hundreds of shoppers passed by. Many were in much the same shape as I – carrying around a few extra pounds. Probably a pant size or two larger than they were years ago. I don’t even know where she hid my jeans with the 32 inch waist. Probably sitting in some goodwill or thrift store right now. Or, long ago given away to some skinny guy.

 How did we manage to stay slim in college while we partied and drank gallons of beer every weekend? Our tennis team was famous around campus for having the greatest parties every spring. We would hit tennis balls for hours after classes and then eat ( and drink ) everything in sight for supper. How could we eat so much and enjoy so many fun-filled evenings and still manage to stay in decent shape?

Do you want to lose weight this year? Maybe you'd like to lose belly fat and get that slimmer waistline you've been dreaming of? Do you ever wish you could see results sooner? Want to burn more calories and fat faster? Try adding some fat-burning cardio exercise to your daily schedule. Walk, run, do anything you enjoy. Get your heart and lungs working. Give your fat-burners a boost.

And, while you're at it - you may want to drink a little less than so many of us did in our college years!

Just Getting Started

Do you want to start running and just aren't sure how to get started? You're not alone! Sometimes just getting started is the hardest step. You can do this! Legend has it that decades ago Zig Ziglar decided to start running. So, one fine day he heads out for a run. On his 1st day, he ran less than 1 city block.

  You have to start somewhere, right? Think small in the beginning. Go as far as you feel comfortable. Then walk until your heart rate returns to a more normal state and you are breathing easier. Then do it all over again! Each day, build on your progress - a little at a time. In a few weeks you just might be surprised at your progress!

 Try this -

 Week 1: Run for just 1 minute. Then, keep moving - Walk 90 seconds. Repeat eight times. Do three times this first week.

Week 2: Run two minutes. Walk for a minute or two. Then, repeat seven times. Do three times during your second week.

Week 3: Run for 3 minutes. Walk for at least one minute. Repeat six times. Do three times during week 3.

Week 4: Run five minutes. Walk two minutes. Repeat four times. Do three times a week.

 Week 5: Run for 8 minutes. Walk two minutes. Repeat three times. Try to go 4 days this week.

 Week 6: Run twelve minutes. Walk for 3 minutes. Repeat three times. Do 3 or 4 times a week.

 Week 7: Run fifteen minutes. Walk 5 minutes. Run fifteen more minutes. Walk 5 again. Go 4 times this week.

Week 8: Run for twenty minutes. Walk for 5. Run another 15 or 20. Then, walk for 5 or ten minutes. Always take time to cool down after a nice run.

 Coach John Wooden used to urge his players to "Keep Moving". Whatever your fitness goals are, perhaps you too can benefit from Coach's timeless wisdom

How do you fit 30 to 45 minutes of exercise into your hectic schedule every day?
Sometimes the pressures of raising children and caring for parents can seem overwhelming. Do you ever just want to throw your hands up and give up?

Take heart. You don't have to give up. Find just 15 or 20 minutes and get out in the fresh air where you can calm your soul and hasten your heartbeat! Does Winter weather keep you indoors? Pick up that jump rope and jump for as long as you can while watching your favorite show. Make it a comedy - you will burn even more calories laughing!

Get some heart-pumping exercise - if even for just 10 or 15 minutes - every chance you get.

Don't have time to head out to the local gym or health club? The weather outside too cold? No worries! Grab a few inexpensive pieces of home fitness equipment and work out in the comfort of home!

Take care of yourself and you'll be in better shape to take care of those you love and care most about! Do whatever you can to sneak in a few minutes here and there.

Encourage your children to join in the fun. Challenge them to a race around the block! See if you can beat them! ( If you can - you're far better off than many of us! ) Invest some quality time in yourself! If you're currently exercising twice a week, then simply finding time for one more workout during that week will help you burn more fat and make more progress.

Defeat the Diabetes Threat

Are you past 50 and a little overweight? Or - if you're like me - maybe even more overweight than you'd like? You're not alone...

Just look around - they are everywhere. Sitting across the aisle in church - or walking through the mall. Many of us are getting fatter. What is happening to us? If this trend is left unchecked we may be faced with a potentially explosive health crisis - and the resulting price tag. Much press has been devoted to the President's Health care agenda lately. The dollar signs are out of this world. Over 800 billion dollars to provide health care coverage for an additional 36 million Americans.

If medical scientists are even close to accurate in their dire prediction of more obesity and diabetes as a result - we are in for even more expensive health care prices. Diabetes is bad trouble - just ask anyone who has it. Or has a family member facing the daily grind diabetics live with. What if you could avoid this potential nightmare - and the incredible costs of treatment? What if you could avoid becoming one of the countless millions who just might develop diabetes due to the ever growing waistline? What can you do to ward off this deadly disease?

Exercise - every day. And eat healthy, natural foods. Introduce more physical activity into your daily routine. Get up and off the couch. Leave your recliner for just 45 minutes every evening and exercise. Here's one way to get started -

Would you invest as few as 30 minutes a day to keeping these health issues at bay? Would you devote yourself to getting up and getting active for as little as a half an hour a day? Would you be willing to cut the useless calories and make the choice to enjoy eating healthier foods at every opportunity?

You can save a yourself a bundle. And help the good old USA avoid some rather expensive health care costs. Do it for yourself. Do it for your country! Do you have a family? Do it for them! Just Do It!!! You can avoid adult onset diabetes. You can ward off and prevent obesity from entering into your world!

Many fitness experts believe that this workout can help you develop long, strong muscles, a flat stomach, a strong back, and improved posture.

The Quickest Way to Lose Weight

The quickest way to lose weight and shed those extra pounds so many of us carry around involves a very simple two-fold approach. 1. Change your diet and eating patterns. For the next two months eat smaller portions and stop eating anything other than celery or popcorn ( skip the butter and salt ) for your last four hours before sleep! ( You can substitute any very low-calorie snack for celery or popcorn. ) Many successful weight losers have enjoyed eating five or six mini-meals instead of the usual big 3.

Exercise - in whatever form or type you can - for at least 30 minutes every day. Any exercise that raises your heart rate and gets you breathing harder is ideal! Every day! Once you start feeling comfortable with half an hour - start adding a few minutes. The more you do the fast you lose those extra, unwanted pounds!

Think of your workouts as time for yourself, rather than as a chore. On days when you’re unmotivated, convince yourself to exercise for just ten minutes. After getting started, you’ll probably do much more.
Whether you want a tighter tummy and tush or simply hope to lose a few pounds, set yourself up for success by setting a few short-term goals. Keep them simple. Then, try rewarding yourself as you reach each milestone. Treat yourself to a new pair of running shoes after you lose those first five pounds. Or take the family out to your favorite eatery after you run your first whole mile – without stopping! Keep your goals simple and within reach – you’ll accomplish them sooner! Then, set new, more challenging targets. You might just be amazed at what you can do. And how much better you'll feel.

Keep it fun. Enjoy a healthy variety of different sports. Vary your workouts with different exercises. Ever tried yoga or swimming? Many healthy fitness lovers enjoy the benefits of using low-impact exercise equipment. Buy an elliptical or a rowing machine and turn your extra room into a mini fitness center!
Try to keep eating healthy foods. Start your day with a protein rich, healthy breakfast. Keep an eye on your calories. And watch your tummy get slimmer. The quickest way to lose weight - and keep it off - is with daily exercise and sensible, healthy eating choices.
