June 15, 2012 - Core Stability Exercise:
Hover Plank The Hover Plank is a great, easy, at home, body weight exercise you can do to help strengthen your core. If you start in a push up position on the floor, but bend your elbows & rest your weight on your forearms instead of your hands. Your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles. Brace your core by contracting abs and holding them tight. Hold this position for 10-15seconds or what you feel comfortable starting out with. Try this core stabilizer exercise for at least 3 days a week & you will notice a difference in your core strength. Have a great day!
Thank You,

June 16, 2012 - Diet Facts You Want To Avoid:
When your wanting to diet or what I like to call it as your lifestyle change in your eating habits. Three most important food categories you want to avoid are your simple sugars, fat-free, and sugar-free. Simple sugars slow down the fat burning process and can create an unhealthy internal environment. Beware of any ingredients that are on labels such as the following: Corn syrup, beet sugar, maple syrup, high fructose corn syrup, fructose, sucrose, cane sugar, dextrose, brown rice sugar, brown sugar, and honey.
Fat-Free products are often misunderstood and are used in the wrong contents. Fat-Free, can usually mean that the manufacturer has doubled the sugar content to compensate for the loss in taste from the missing fat. Sugar is proven t be the real enemy in what is referred as "The Battle Of The Bulge".
Sugar-Free products are also, misunderstood and misused in diets. When a product is sugar-free it doesn't mean it's carbohydrate-free. The body does not break down or differentiate between sugar and carbohydrates. The body breaks down carbohydrates just the SAME as sugar. So avoid sugar-free products because your still getting more sugar in the carbohydrates to help with the taste of the food. Have a great day!

June 18, 2012 - How to get over your work-out rut:
Do you work-out and then hit a rut and find yourself slacking on your training? Well, let me first tell you , your not alone. As we get comfortable working out and training we tend to let life get in the way and distract our motivation. If, you allow yourself to get tired, run out of energy, and find that life takes you away from your training schedule you can get back on track. The best way to put yourself back into training mode is start out slow and work your way back into it. A little bit of exercise goes a long way. Remember, 15-30 minutes of training is better than nothing. Pull out that yoga DVD from your shelf, put on your walking shoes, get into your biking shorts and get on your bike. There's so many different things you can do to stay active and not fall into that work-out rut. You don't have to have a gym membership or expensive work-out equipment to achieve that 15-30 minutes 3 times a week training schedule. YOU CAN DO IT! STAY ACTIVE & REMEMBER A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY! ENJOY! Have a great day.
Thank You,

June 19, 2012 - Healthy Fatty Acid:
If you haven't already heard about Omega-3 then nows the time to get acquainted and become knowledgeable on how healthy Omega-3 is for you. You can find Omega-3 fatty acids in fishes such as salmon, swordfish, herring, and mackerel. You can also find Omega-3's in seeds and nuts such as flax seed, walnuts, and almonds. It has been proven in studies that Omega-3's help reduce your risk in coronary heart disease. Having low Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet and nutrition can cause high triglycerides, high blood pressure, tissue inflammation, and sticky platelets. Studies have shown that the high prevalence of the circulatory system and heart-related side effects due to the lack of Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet are essential to consume high Omega-3's. You can also now purchase Omega-3 eggs which have 6 grams of protein, 4 grams of fat, and 3 grams of Omega-3 fatty acids. Be sure to consume Omega-3 in your diet and nutrition to help reduce the side effects of low Omega-3's. Have a great day.

June 20, 2012 - Whey Protein:
When you're working out wanting to loss weight or gain muscle mass you have to have protein in your diet to achieve those results. Wanting to loss weight or gain muscle mass you have to eat 6 meals a day, which each meal contains a certain amount of protein. When trying to fit in 6 meals a day with the busy schedules that we all have adding 3 replacement Whey Protein Shacks will help you to take in the required amount of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Whey protein is a natural complete protein, it contains all of the essential amino acids required in our daily diet. Whey protein has the ideal combination of amino acids to help improve body composition and enhance your athletic performance. Whey protein is also known as a soluble, easy to digest protein and it is efficiently absorbed into the body. It is also referred to as a "fast" protein because of it's ability to quickly provide nourishment to the muscles. So, if you're having a hard time getting in those 6 meals a day with the recommended amount of daily protein for your work-outs adding 3 replacement whey protein shacks is definitely a benefit to your diet. Have a great day!

When working out and staying active finding the right motivation is the key to keep you going.
