Posted by: | Comments
This is the month of personal improvement.
This month is your month to focus on setting goals, to improve your diet, and to start an exercise program.
However, these tasks can be overwhelming. Where should you start? What should you do first? Should you do everything at the same time? For an optimum outcome, it is recommended that you start all three at once – but keep it simple!
Let us start by bringing the focus on the next 30 to 42 days.
How to Achieve your Goals?
Posted by: | Comments
If you are like most people, you have goals for this year that are more ambitious than what you accomplished last year. Almost everyone (at least the readers of this blog) wanted to get better.

First set aside just 37 minutes to work through this simple step-by-step process.
Heart Rate Monitor Training – Does it work?
Posted by: | Comments
“I was so in the zone” I overheard a woman proudly announcing during a dinner conversation.
Since the invention and widespread use of heart rate monitors, our approach to cardio vascular training has changed. These devices provide an inexpensive and efficient tool to enhance your fitness program by monitoring your heart rate during your workouts.
Your motivation will skyrocket. Depending on the system you use, you can take advantage of an online tracking tool to establish accountability. In conjunction with an integrative online system, your monitor will help you to establish records regarding your improvements. You can easily review your performance on charts and compare your applied strategies that result in your fitness success.
Before we discuss this method, let’s address the following questions:
- How can I establish my individual zone for endurance, fat burning, and weight loss?
- Do these numbers really make sense?
- Do those methods reflect my individual training zones?
These are the issues you should consider when you incorporate heart rate monitor training into your fitness program.

How to Burn Fat Fast: Myths vs. Facts

Eat right and exercise.
Yeah, it is really that simple.
Wait a minute!
If it were that simple, why isn’t everybody doing it—and losing weight? And how come if you ask 10 experts, each is going to give you a different answer?
We do have a lot of information available. Then add infomercials, companies who make money by selling you a product, exercise gadgets, or the miracle pill or food that helps you to burn fat. I am sure you have heard about green tea, acqui berries, or dark chocolate that supposedly burn fat for you. It’s a noisy jungle out there.

Turn your bad habits into weight loss success

Good Habits Bad Habits
Clearly, we have an obesity problem. Not just in America, but in many other countries as well.
Honestly, I don’t think that we have a weight loss problem. Rather, I propose that we have a habitual problem with our actions.
A study from Oxford University published in the International Journal of Obesity confirms that within 3 to 5 years, about 80 percent of all ‘losers’ have regained the lbs, and often gained back a little extra. Read closely and you discover that what happens is that individuals get back to the habits they have had in the first place; the ones that caused the problems to begin with. Read More→
