Looking Hot at the Beach!

"Suck in that gut" was just one of the phrases that famed crime-fighter from yesteryear was known to blurt out! Do you ever find yourself trying to suck in your belly when that really hot member of the opposite sex walks by? At the beach - or in the supermarket - everyone wants to look slim and trim!

The good news is - you're in good company. So many of us are carrying around a few extra pounds - and inches - than we had just a few short years ago.

So what is the quickest way to lose that extra weight and then keep it off? The TV ads we are practically bombarded with might lead you to believe the answer is found in a pill or even a tasty drink! Oh, that we could be so lucky!

If your Doctor tries to prescribe a pill to help you lose weight - run, don't walk to the nearest exit. Save your money!

Start exercising every day. Start eating healthy foods - in moderation - and avoiding all those comfort foods we've all grown up with. Eliminate white bread and white rice and white sugar - as much as possible. Instead, choose naturally good fruits and vegetables! Have some protein early in the day.

You'll need the protein to help fuel your muscle growth! Start or pick up the intensity of your own strength program! Choose a wide variety of exercises to help you build muscles and burn off those unwanted extra inches!



Health and fitness experts agree - the quickest way to lose weight and keep it off is with consistent, daily exercise! Enjoy eating healthy foods and you'll shed those extra pounds even quicker!

You won't need expensive Doctor bills or magic pills. No need to join that fancy health club or fitness center. Save your money - keep it simple. You might want to pick up some inexpensive home fitness equipment and workout right at home!

Whatever works best for you! Enlist a buddy - you'll both benefit and many find it easier to stay motivated when they have a friend to work out with.

Just skip some calories somewhere else. Run an extra mile tomorrow or get in another nine holes this weekend. Swim some laps at the pool or go an extra 20 minutes or longer when you head out for that speed walk with your buddies!

Summer means fun - wherever you live. Enjoy yourself and take advantage of the warmer temperatures to sweat off those fat cells! Too hot for you? Try working out indoors! Or go early in the morning before the heat of the day sets in.

Want to really kick in your fat-burner? Try rowing. Its a great whole- body workout and you'll burn a bunch of calories!

Keys to A Healthy Life


Here's a healthy goal for anyone: sweat every day; not a mere perspiration, but a good, old-fashioned sweat.

If you're tired of the gym, try a fun alternative. Start with walking and shed around 240 calories per hour at a moderate pace. Pick up the pace and torch off even more unwanted pounds! Try something new. Ballet or swimming laps burns around 422 calories each hour. Not into wearing tights? Get on your bicycle and burn 275 calories per hour!

Take a break. You may burn more fat when you break an hour long workout into two 30-minute sessions. Give yourself a 15 or 20-minute rest in between and the boost may continue after you exercise. Keeping well-hydrated and replacing fluids lost
during exercise is also a key part of feeling good and getting the most out of your workout.

Get your hands dirty. Gardening gives you as much of a workout as walking or golf, a recent study reported. Plus: The weight-bearing motions involved in digging and pulling weeds can strengthen bones and muscle.

Get out your mp3 player and exercise to music. Research shows that listening to your favorite tunes while working out help keep you going up to 10 or 15 percent longer!

Want to live a healthy life? Maybe hoping to drop a few pounds? Two vital keys are keeping energy intake (food) and energy output (physical activity) in balance. When you consume only as many calories as your body needs, your weight will usually remain constant. If you take in more calories than your body needs, you will put on excess fat. If you expend more energy than you take in you will burn excess fat.

Exercise plays an important role in weight control by increasing your energy output, calling on stored calories for extra fuel. Recent studies show that not only does exercise increase metabolism during a workout, but it causes your metabolism to stay increased for a period of time after exercising, allowing you to burn off even more calories! You really can exercise and lose weight fast!

Shed Those Extra Inches and Pounds Around Your Belly


Who doesn't enjoy a delicious ice cream cone or Popsicle during the heat of Summer? And maybe a cool, refreshing can of your favorite soda? Summer fun just seems to go hand in hand with sweet tasting refreshments! And - one of my favorites - beer!

Who doesn't enjoy a frosty, cool one after an energizing game of tennis or softball? Golf was no doubt invented by a beer drinker.

Well if you want to drop a few pounds this Summer - you might want to skip the sweetened beverage and limit your ice cream fix! Maybe even ( Gasp ) drink a few less beers. I know - shoot me for even suggesting such inhumane and harsh behavior.

Good old sugar in various forms is contributing to America's weight problem. Both table sugar and high fructose corn syrup have about the same amount of calories - around 60 calories per tablespoon. Regardless of their source - sugar or the much dreaded high fructose corn syrup, these sweeteners contribute lots of extra empty calories. Its so easy to overlook these empty calories in our diet. Most of the high fructose corn syrup in the U.S. diet comes in the form of soda, other sweetened drinks, cookies, candy, and baked goods. You know - all those lovable comfort foods that offer little if any nutrition. Even whole wheat bread can contain added sweetener - so watch those ingredient labels.

These mostly useless calories really add up. Gaining weight is just one down side of the increasing amount of sugar we Americans are consuming.

Here's a tip to help you shed some inches around your waistline and belly:

Keep a "food diary" for a few days. Write down everything you eat. By doing this, you become more aware of what you are eating and when you are eating. This awareness can help you avoid mindless eating. And might help you limit all those useless calories from Soda and Beer!

Health experts agree - the best way to lose belly fat and keep it off is with frequent exercise and eating healthy foods.
