for Exercise - by Anna Fleet
As a certified personal trainer and

excuse in the book when it comes to why people don’t exercise. However, the one
that takes the, pardon-my-pun, “fitness cake” is lack of time. |
Turn Down the
Suck in Fitness - by Anna Fleet
Exercise is good for you –
there’s simply no doubt about it! However, I still meet clients on a daily basis
who’ve vowed to dedicate themselves to an exercise program, only to quit after a
month. Let’s face it, North Americans start and stop their fitness programs more
frequently than they change their underwear. |

Excuses - by Dr. Robert Osgoodby

Keeping
Yourself Fit After 40 - by Jim O'Neill
Have you ever noticed how
people who do no exercise at all still have a look of fullness in their arms,
legs and chests for example, when they are less than 30 years old? Have you also
noticed that this look of fullness starts to slowly become a look of droopiness
and sagginess when they are over 30? Our body is at its peak at between 25 and
30 years of age. After this point, our body starts to slowly go into a decline
and we tend to put on weight a little faster than before. |

Are you a
'look-and-lose' dieter? Have you studied every diet ever created, read a zillion
diet books, and yet are still unhappy with your weight? Has your quest for the
holy grail of dieting become a substitute for actually making changes required
to take the ill health out of your current diet? If so, you may not realise your
thoughts are key to your happiness and success. |
Love Your
Body, Love Your Self: Nurturing Body Acceptance - by Laura Turner
Is it idealistic to believe that everyone can learn to love their body? This
became a burning question as I set out to write on this topic of body
acceptance. Why do I muse about this subject? It's been said that writers write
what they wish to know. And when it comes to loving my body - it's been a
constant, lifelong process. |

Exercise Get Stale - by Linda Geyer

Big Benefits of Little Exercise - Rick Maguire
Exercising is one of the cardinal factors that helps people reduce their weight & stay away from obesity. But exercise won’t do wonders in a single day or the pounds won't melt off magically. Regular exercise needs restricted calorie intake to achieve desired weight loss. Sometimes, if a person exercises but doesn't diet, then any significant pounds lost may be negligible because dense and heavier muscle mass replaces fat. |
Brain Science And New Year's Resolutions - Tom Venuto
Goal setting is also not a one time event, it's is an ongoing process of literally "re-wiring your brain" by using "scientific goal setting" methods. New findings in neuroscience have proven why new years resolutions almost always fail and what you should do instead, to produce permanent behavior changes and lasting results. |
