Resolution……..a resolve or determination: to make a firm decision to do something

So what do most of us do wait till the beginning of the year to make that resolution to loose weight and then stick with it for a few weeks then life gets in the way………. How about breaking this cycle and do something that will be affective for you and your body now!

People usually stop working out this time of year and focus on the “holidays” and then use the excuse that they will be starting in January and they1 are going to make some changes with their exercise and nutrition routine. Not gonna work so well!
Family and work functions increase the holiday goodies that are put on display, but that doesn't mean that meals outside of these functions can’t be full of good nutrition. It is ok to indulge in small amounts, someone always brings something healthy and you can too!

Here is a crazy thought, step outside the box and make your resolution now! Why wait and give yourself more work to do later, start right now with a firm and scheduled routine. Make the right food choices now and you won't feel so bad later You don’t need a lot of equipment or a gym; you could even use a workout DVD! Just get moving!
Guaranteed you will be more happy with yourself through the holidays and will step into the New Year already a new person!

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer now that it finally here I think, its not been very warm!!
I hope that everyone is drinking enough water throughout the few hot days, it is a vital part of our well being! Remember your body is 2/3 water and it depends on water to function properly, even mild dehydration can reduce blood flow to your organs, slow your brain and sap your energy, so drink up!!
Dont like water so much, well summer is a great time to add berries, you can also add lemon, limes, cucumbers, ginger all will give it a new taste hopefully getting you to drink up!!

Spot Reduction Myth

Contrary to what the infomercials suggest there is no such thing as spot reduction. I know you really want to belive it! Fat is lost throughout the body in a pattern dependent upon genetics, sex (hormones), and age. Overall body fat must be reduced to lose fat in any particular area. Although fat is lost or gained throughout the body it seems the first area to get fat, or the last area to become lean, is the midsection (in men and some women, especially after menopause) and hips and thighs (in women and few men). Sit-ups, crunches, leg-hip raises, leg raises, hip adduction, hip abduction, etc. will only exercise the muscles under the fat.You need to work you whole body, squats, lunges, jumping jacks, mountain climbers and the list can go on and on! So forget about crunches and situps, work you whole body and breath and you will work your core along with the rest of your body!
