Summer Fun - at every age

We hung out at the local park. One of our favorite girlfriends called us the Park Boys. All we cared about that wonderful summer was having fun.

On our skateboards. On the tennis courts or basketball court. Or, at the pool. And then at night - it was usually more of the same after a big barbecue and lots of beer. We had fun. And we met lots of really cool girls. Very cool!

The friendships you develop while you're playing sports seem to last longer. And having fun is always a snap - just pick your pleasure for the moment and go for it. As we age we sometimes lose track of those friends we enjoyed so much. And, we usually - more often than not - count them as friends long after we last saw each other!

Playing sports and exercising seems to bring out the best in people. Fitness and Health experts seem to agree. The benefits of exercise and physical activity are plentiful -

Enhanced Sense of Well-Being

Increased mental acuity

More energy

Improved quality of sleep ( this is huge - as any parent can confirm! )

Improved ability to cope with stress

Reduced tension - you'll feel more at ease!

Improved Appearance - You look better and Feel Better!

Weight loss

Enhanced Social Life

Improved self-esteem

The golf course is a great place to make new friends and get some great stress relief! Walk off your worries - and some weight - the next time you get 18 holes in!

Experts agree the quickest way to lose weight is with plenty of exercise and healthy eating habits. Start getting in shape fast and watch your life get way more fun! Get out and enjoy this wonderful time of year!

Lose 20 Pounds before Labor Day!

OK - I admit it - I've got a biker's belly. A beer belly. I'm overweight. A kind, gentle person might not see me as grossly overweight - or obese. I do. That spare tire of mine is way too big. If I don't watch it I'll be wearing a size 42 waist before Christmas ( which is a mere six months away! ).

How does this happen? two words - laziness and diet. I sit and watch too much TV. I sit at this silly computer for way too long. And I eat crap. Fast food and donuts. Too many sweets. Not enough of the healthy stuff.


Overweight and overfat do not always mean the same thing. Some people are quite muscular and weigh more than the average for their age and height. However, their body composition, the amount of fat versus lean body mass (muscle, bone, organs and tissue), is within a desirable range. This is true for many athletes. Others weigh an average amount yet carry around too much fat. In our society, however, overweight often implies overfat because excess weight is commonly distributed as excess fat. The addition of exercise to a weight control program helps control both body weight and body fat levels.

A certain amount of body fat is necessary for everyone. Experts say that percent body fat for women should be about 20 percent, 15 percent for men. Women with more than 30 percent fat and men with more than 25 percent fat are considered obese.

There is hope! I can lose this spare tire - this Summer! at a healthy weight loss average of two pounds per week - One could easily lose twenty pounds before Labor Day! Healthy eating and plenty of exercise are the best solutions for quick healthy weight loss.

A few simple changes in your daily regimen can lead to much better health and a whole new outlook on life. Make the easy choice - eat healthy, exercise and lose weight fast!

Quick Healthy Weight Loss

Most of us "battle the bulge" at some time in our life. Whatever our goals, we should understand and take advantage of the important role of exercise in keeping our weight under control. You might choose to adopt a slow and steady weight loss program walking or exercising in some way most days. Some want quick results.

Carrying around too much body fat is a major nuisance. Yet excess body fat is common in modern-day living. Few of today's occupations require vigorous physical activity, and much of our leisure time is spent in sedentary pursuits.

Recent estimates indicate that 34 million adults are considered obese (20 percent above desirable weight). The earlier the onset of obesity, the greater the likelihood of remaining obese.

Don't let the sedentary lifestyle suck you in. Exercise and a healthy eating campaign are the keys to quick healthy weight loss!
