Healthy Habits

Simple cardio - walking fast, Jogging, and Jumping Rope - burn tons of calories and can help you shed those extra pounds quicker.

The airwaves are filled with magic diet pills and herbal remedies touting near miraculous weight loss. For hundreds of years people have been staying in top physical condition by practicing just two simple habits.

They stay physically active. They get exercise - in some form - every day, or at least five days of the week.

And their second healthy habit is found in the foods they eat. Simple, natural foods. They tend to avoid the processed junk we find so readily available. They enjoy more healthy vegetables and fruits. More fish and less fried foods. They use olive oil instead of butter. ( How dare they skip the butter! )

Living simple, and healthy lifestyles can lead to massive benefits in terms of your health. Try it - you'll soon be hooked!

Get a good pair of running shoes and some inexpensive home fitness equipment.

Enjoy Life More



A study of over 14,000 women showed that active women were 55 percent less likely to die of breast cancer than women who chose not to exercise and stay in good shape. Men who did just moderate levels of exercise lived, on average, up to six years longer than their sedentary peers.

The facts are clear - if you want to enjoy life more and live longer - your odds are much better if you get some exercise most days of the week!

For the best results - try a balanced approach. Combine weight or resistance training with flexibility and aerobic exercise. If your program is balanced enough, you wont have to be concerned about developing over exaggerated muscles.

If you think lifting weights is just for pumped-up hard-bodies who flex their pecs in public, think again. Building muscle benefits everyone! Women and Men - at any age. In fact, older people may have the most to gain from weight or resistance training, because strength is so crucial to functioning independently.

All sorts of professional athletes, from ball players to golfers, tennis players to swimmers, make cross training part of their regimes. You can enjoy the many benefits of better fitness without spending too much of your hard earned cash. Get some simple inexpensive home fitness equipment and start burning calories and building muscles!
