The Science Behind Shorter Workouts
July 28, 2010 · Leave a Comment
[ Note: This article is part of my fat loss tips and has been written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson. I have his permission to share it with you. ] A few years ago I released a book whose title was more reminiscent of a line out of “There’s Something About Mary” than a serious work on fitness. “7 Minute Muscle” — yep, it’s getting more and more difficult to distinguish fact from parody. Since that time its kissing cousin, “7 Minute Body”, has been released, featuring a complete in-home version of the same workout principles covered... [Read the full story]

Diet Solution Food Journal for 28-29 Dec 09
December 29, 2009 · 1 Comment
Here is my diet solution food journal for this week. It has been a great week for no wheat and no diary. I am feeling a little light headed and I do have to watch that – the strange thing is I am not hungry and I am eating well so I don’t understand it. I think it is withdrawal systems as the bad toxins leave my body. I ate plenty of red meat and spinach (I am eating spinach most of the day now) – the thing I don’t always get to do is to have a salad with my dinner. I keep forgetting to make one and most of the dinner plans include a salad so I have to pick up on that tomorrow. Monday Sardines... [Read the full story]
Weight Loss Tips
Drink water for weight loss slowly
March 30, 2010 · Leave a Comment
I have been reading a lot about how to drink water for weight loss and what I have learnt is that you need to drink it slowly throughout the day. There is alot of information out there that says “drink 8 glasses of water a day” and that is true but it is HOW you drink that water that matters. You can’t wake up and drink all 8 in the first few hours, you need to drink it regularly, just like eating little and often. A glass every hour is a much better way to drink and to ensure your body gets enough. Also when you drink water for weight loss it has to depend on how much you weigh... [Read the full story]

Why I recommend a personal trainer
July 17, 2010 · Leave a Comment
If you have been thinking about losing weight or struggling with it I wanted to let you know why I recommend a personal trainer as a way to get the motivation to get fit. Back in March I wrote a blog post that outlined how many of us are full of old waste and should seriously think about cleansing our colon well since then I have looked into natural products, natural skin care, natural detox and most of all I have been exercising. For the last 5 weeks regularly – an hour a day 3 times a week. Every Monday on my own I ride my exercise bike and do a series of strength training exercises.... [Read the full story]

How does your resting heart rate affect your fitness levels?
June 28, 2010 · Leave a Comment
A healthy resting rate should beat at anything from 65-70 beats per minute (bpm) depending on your age The fitter you are the lower your heart rate becomes and the less work your heart has to do to pump blood around your body, the less work it has to do the more efficient it becomes. We all know a constantly fast beating heart isn’t something you want to walk around with every day of your life because it is just not good for you. So you can increase the efficiency of your heart by simply exercising and improving your resting heart rate. What is a good resting heart beat to have? Well that... [Read the full story]

What I really want to do is ramp it up and lose it for my holiday in July but for the last 2-3 months there has been no movement on the... Read more of this article

Blogging about weight loss keeps me focus
I know if I wasn’t blogging right now I probably would have given up with my weight loss efforts.

So if you are thinking about losing weight I definitely... Read more of this article
