Eat Smoothies for Healthy Snacks

<a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/healthy-smoothies-for-every-day.html#.Ue-GttLqmuI">Smoothies</a> are a great choice for healthy, energizing snacks during the day. Forget about the 100-calorie snack packs and sugary treats for snacks. They leave you unsatisfied, under-nourished and wanting to eat even more. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvU2cm99JsUcy_6OYgJXfUHwwNoMQmgDYO6ab3D9LUvaqDjUjIqHUVXAczJUjs9VJI-oFkSo-y0OUfVGQBHpV1zlmuG35wl9k4SXP5zlfCBCt03oN1OaehZXNhjpqv16NAbnf3R9zLK-pf/s1600/smoothie2.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvU2cm99JsUcy_6OYgJXfUHwwNoMQmgDYO6ab3D9LUvaqDjUjIqHUVXAczJUjs9VJI-oFkSo-y0OUfVGQBHpV1zlmuG35wl9k4SXP5zlfCBCt03oN1OaehZXNhjpqv16NAbnf3R9zLK-pf/s200/smoothie2.gif" width="200" /></a></div> Eat the wrong snacks and it could blow a hole through your weight loss goals. Empty calories leave you, well, empty and looking for your next meal too soon. <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=248">3 Foods to Eat to Burn More Belly Fat</a> You could be gaining weight because of your snacks between meals. It doesn't have to be that way. What you eat for snacks can mean the difference between out-of-control weight gain or <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net">weight loss management/fat loss.</a> The American Dietetic Association also recommends healthy snacking. Snacks bridge the gap between meals and can help you eat less at regular mealtime. Going too long between meals can cause you to load up on sugary carbohydrates to get quick energy. These types of snacks are usually high in calories, not very nutritious and cause rapid ups and downs in blood sugar levels (you will crash). Here are 2 great smoothies to eat as snacks: APPLE PIE SMOOTHIE --1 frozen banana --1/2 peeled, chopped apple --1 cup apple juice --1/2 teaspoons cinnamon --Pinch of nutmeg Blend. Great substitute for applesauce! Control the consistency by adding more or less chopped apple. BASIC FRUIT SMOOTHIE 1 quarter strawberries, hulled 1 banana, broken into chunks 2 peaches 1 cup orange or peach or mango or apple juice 2 cups ice Blend. Drinking more water during the day will also help you eat less. Aim to drink half your weight in water every day. So, if you weigh 160 pounds, drink about 80 ounces of water every day.

How To Maintain Your Weight This Weekend

Maintaining your weight over the weekend can be tough--especially with spring break beginning. With a little planning, you can maintain your weight and still have loads of fun. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOR27Onr6YRxY5-aSX6trCvU3YifmL1AO19jCPi3lUIdnUhXUABxHlMnx7V-k_kJM3iZNIQrr3yGyIZkpNrsJiInlKvx5nyoLA9kxmZczUmyO3DQhTsiEnimUm2aVxBhHC2IIQ-Ire_U7M/s1600/warming+up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOR27Onr6YRxY5-aSX6trCvU3YifmL1AO19jCPi3lUIdnUhXUABxHlMnx7V-k_kJM3iZNIQrr3yGyIZkpNrsJiInlKvx5nyoLA9kxmZczUmyO3DQhTsiEnimUm2aVxBhHC2IIQ-Ire_U7M/s320/warming+up.jpg" width="213" /></a></div> The first thing you must plan: where and what you will eat. Try to follow your regular meal plan. The biggest weight gaining trap during weekends is haphazard eating and drinking. Planning will help you control your calorie intake. Packing your food always helps you eat healthy and saves money. If you are going to eat at restaurants, look at menus online before you go. If you don't have any idea of what you are going to eat, you will tend to stop at the first food chain that triggers your taste buds. Second, don't skip your workouts. A great workout is always your safety net. You can always burn more calories if needed. And, don't ever skip both your Friday and Monday workouts! Why? Because you will be tempted to blow off the whole weekend and not workout at all. Sometimes, this turns into weeks, months and years of missed workouts! Here are some good replacements for your weekend workouts (if needed): 1. Playing on a rec sports team. Having fun while you burn calories always works. And, its a change up from your regular cardio workout. 2. Mowing the lawn and trimming the tree hedges. These are serious calorie burners. 3. If you use Saturday or Sunday as your day off from workouts, do two 30-minute walks (one in the morning and one in the evening). 4. Try a group exercise class at your gym. A spin or Zumba class burns tons of calories. 5. Go running at the lake. A change of scenary is always good. 6. You come up with calorie-burning activities that you like. Have a great weekend and spring break!

Also, you will tone your body faster because of the strength component in the workout. Because machines stabilize your body for you, bodyweight exercises help you develop strength that allows your body to stabilize itself. Some of you don't get significant results with <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/09/use-power-exercises-to-burn-more-fat_11.html">fat loss</a> because you do the same thing for cardio exercise most of the time! Get off the treadmill and elliptical machines and challenge yourself! Do the workout this way (do circuit 4 times with little or no rest between exercises): --Step ups, knee high platform, 10 repetitions each leg --Mountain climbers, fast, 30 seconds --Medicine ball diagonal chops, 10 each side --Rest two minutes and repeat circuit You're finished!

Fat Burning Intervals--Running and Jumping Jacks

Use running and jumping jacks cardio intervals to <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/bodyweight-500-metabolic-fat-burner.html#.UeTaltLqmuI">burn more fat</a>. Today was my day to do interval cardio and I needed to mix things up a little (interpretation: I was bored). <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP2cU0WjoCOpDt1Tp-8uwWGAqRWhNlWbcTHSe1GmW-1MR0uFFAv901trdxvGQlUsA7he2u6FAYQV6Ps_S7N8h34dqz1K-_Qeq_0rLPJZKEDG7U9jls86pBFywPLMhDG9HL63hrGVE9aGdD/s1600/sprint+start2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP2cU0WjoCOpDt1Tp-8uwWGAqRWhNlWbcTHSe1GmW-1MR0uFFAv901trdxvGQlUsA7he2u6FAYQV6Ps_S7N8h34dqz1K-_Qeq_0rLPJZKEDG7U9jls86pBFywPLMhDG9HL63hrGVE9aGdD/s320/sprint+start2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> So, I did this running and jumping jacks interval workout. Intense circuit weight training and interval cardio workouts will increase your body's <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/05/two-workouts-day-produces-more-growth.html">growth hormone</a>. Research has also proven that the benefits of anaerobic exercise (like sprint interval cardio) is superior to aerobic exercise for fitness and heart health. If you want to tone up your body and look more sculpted, you should perform the majority of your cardio exercise using intervals (such as sprints). Doing cardio sprint intervals will activate your bulky fast-twitch muscle fibers to give you a more lean and toned body. Just take a look at an athlete who competes in a speed sport. Their bodies are "ripped" for a reason (most of their training is fast). The workout was actually fun even though it was very difficult. That means I burned tons of calories and burned some fat. I will be doing this workout again. The total workout time was 45 minutes. This was how I did the workout: --Running intervals, 15 minutes. Rotation: 1 minute fast, 1 minute walking --Rest 5 minutes --Jumping Jacks, 15 minutes. Rotation: 1 minute fast, 1 minute walking --Rest 5 minutes --Running intervals, 15 minutes. Rotation: 1 minute fast, 1 minute walking Finished! Doing 10 minute segments is actually enough workout time (30 minutes). I just felt great today and went a little longer. Take home lesson: make your workouts fun! Don't do something you hate. Find exercises you enjoy.

Use Jump Workouts For Spring Season Fat Burning

Kickstart your spring season fat burning with jump training workouts. Now that the weather is warming up, change up your routine. It will make a huge difference in your fat loss results. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPIpE3rs-GxPlnlq7NGUXziYEtU6e6nLnx7dcBRTKQ3wdJjoPfIVEuk006ooc6u03txItZrHRBQxP_awK29UIuq6zqR_S-NUIs_xGXZ7fMn7-EpHkSHtPZASCGUYKUzKH0PSc2MDnub6-G/s1600/Squat+Jump.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPIpE3rs-GxPlnlq7NGUXziYEtU6e6nLnx7dcBRTKQ3wdJjoPfIVEuk006ooc6u03txItZrHRBQxP_awK29UIuq6zqR_S-NUIs_xGXZ7fMn7-EpHkSHtPZASCGUYKUzKH0PSc2MDnub6-G/s320/Squat+Jump.jpg" width="216" /></a></div> Some of you workout at the same slow pace all the time. Jump more when you exercise and you'll jump off more body fat---guaranteed! Have you been doing the same workout for 2 months, 6 months, 1 year or 3 years? If you're doing the same basic workout you've always done, you're probably not making any progress with fat loss or weight loss. You're frustrated but you can do something about your stalled progress! One of the best ways to "wake up and change your body's composition" is to add intensity to your workouts with jumps. Sixty minute cardio sessions won't lean out your body but they will waste away your muscles (and your muscle tone). Exercising at a fast or explosive pace (like jumping or sprinting) has been proven to shape and sculpt your body better because these types of exercises activate your bulkier, shapely fast twitch muscle fibers (think butt, hips, thighs, etc.). Its pretty simple---jump off your body fat! Here are some workout tips: 1. Jump rope for at least 10 minutes every day (if your knees and back allow). A 10 minute jump rope warm-up before your workout always gets the job done. Actually, a 20-minute interval jump roping session is one of the best fat-burners and body-sculptors available. Try it for cardio at least once a week. 2. Do at least one workout a week that includes mainly jumping exercises. Squat jumps, tuck jumps, cone jumps, jumping jacks, jump rope and pike jumps are some examples. Full speed jumps will give you more fat loss and weight loss. 3. Include at least one jumping exercise in your regular workout routine. 4. If you need a change up from jumping, run sprint intervals. Sprints are also top fat-burners and body-sculptors. You should perfect jumping and landing techniques or you will injure yourself. And, if you have knee and low back problems, high-speed jump training is not for you. Do no more than 2 jump training workouts a week. Jump off more body fat this spring!

Top 5 Outdoor Exercises To Burn Fat

In my opinion, outdoor exercise is the best way to exercise and <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2011/03/burn-fat-start-shaping-your-summer-body.html">burn fat</a>. I don't care how hot or how cold the weather may be, I have to get outside and exercise. That's what makes exercise fun for me. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNqtd5FnSrIov7HhJvRHnBucosuy4xiuYIAF8SF5-MB7_rGOALVrarYaNgUDP92TPJMeReIOXjrAtJgcnpB4oenoZ3mvYDI_GUAOS8NP6uAfVA6txc0njO8U8GyMJRqXoyPLAZW1LLmxNI/s1600/MD+on+bike2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNqtd5FnSrIov7HhJvRHnBucosuy4xiuYIAF8SF5-MB7_rGOALVrarYaNgUDP92TPJMeReIOXjrAtJgcnpB4oenoZ3mvYDI_GUAOS8NP6uAfVA6txc0njO8U8GyMJRqXoyPLAZW1LLmxNI/s320/MD+on+bike2.jpg" width="216" /></a></div> So, the question for you is this: how do you make exercise fun?

Here are my Top 5 Outdoor Exercises to Burn Fat: 1. Running intervals on grass or sand - If you're serious about toning your body, do running intervals for your cardio exercise. The faster you run, the more fat-burning benefits you will get. Sprinting activates and shapes your bulky, fast-twitch muscles fibers better (think butt, hips, thighs and calves). Your upper body and core will also get quite a workout. Try 20 minutes of running intervals this way: --Sprint for 60 yards --Walk back to start --Sprint for 60 yards --Do this rotation for 20 minutes 2. Soccer, flag football or basketball - All of these are fun exercises and you don't have to think about it. They are all ready-made for intervals, speed and power. When's the last time you played a pick-up game? 3. Biking - It is full body exercise perfect for doing intervals, mileage rides or just having fun. Everyone should have a bike. 4. Hiking trails or hills - Hiking is fun group activity for the weekends. Packing the extra weight of your bags makes it more challenging. Hiking is definitely full body exercise and a good change of pace for you to try. 5. Walking intervals - Walking is underrated. I believe you should walk every day to keep your lifestyle more active. Speed walking intervals will help you burn fat and is a great alternative to running (easier on the joints). If you need to change up your routine, try getting outdoors more to exercise. The birds will sing to you.

Burn Fat, Start Shaping Your Summer Body!

It's March and time to start burning fat and shaping your summer body! Add intensity to your workouts and watch the fat melt off. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvaWlK1NnQxA9L246e5myZNDSOhn0u5Df0Nq0t_eqinwiB2FeR1cFIj2ZificUeVZNv-ibKqyV37lae-x1K-xNT1X2cSdJ3vf_b-xngg2mWejsZJf_xyhsLPCtdFuBLzFvIetFfVKB6O4m/s1600/14+Day+Fat+Loss2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvaWlK1NnQxA9L246e5myZNDSOhn0u5Df0Nq0t_eqinwiB2FeR1cFIj2ZificUeVZNv-ibKqyV37lae-x1K-xNT1X2cSdJ3vf_b-xngg2mWejsZJf_xyhsLPCtdFuBLzFvIetFfVKB6O4m/s320/14+Day+Fat+Loss2.jpg" width="213" /></a></div> That's right, all it takes is 20 intense minutes per session to burn fat and start getting your body lean and toned. A shorter workout will fit your busy schedule. You might have to change your thought process about how you workout. You don't have to spend 2 hours in the gym to see fat loss results. You will actually get better results with shorter, more intense workouts. And, that gives you more time to do more important things in your life. Burn more fat by working large muscle groups, not by working out longer. Maximize your time in the gym and get the results you want. The quality of your workouts are better than the quantity of your workouts. Many days, you need to fit in 15-20 minutes of exercise. Take advantage of "DEAD TIME" during your day and exercise. Twenty minutes of exercise here and 20 minutes of exercise there works just fine. Actually, two-a-day workouts will burn more calories and burn more fat than one workout.

Your Weight Loss And Body Shape--Be Realistic

You will never reach your weight loss and body toning goals if they are unrealistic. Some of us just don't have the genetic makeup to look like cover models. That's okay! You can set a goal to look and feel the best that YOU can. That's a realistic goal. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2HS9RSDUZv8oSHEv3VPT9dejhYuqPY9hDQRwthpWKgN2ufO0-8yuEfoQpPSH3pM9qHvgEnZ1gs7a5C6as9YtjdFt4t9MZdMIFhQ2RaQih5hQzXPA25p8xgxwRWsoiQOtoXUeE1KyGkRtT/s1600-h/step+up+finish.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436410787032307330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2HS9RSDUZv8oSHEv3VPT9dejhYuqPY9hDQRwthpWKgN2ufO0-8yuEfoQpPSH3pM9qHvgEnZ1gs7a5C6as9YtjdFt4t9MZdMIFhQ2RaQih5hQzXPA25p8xgxwRWsoiQOtoXUeE1KyGkRtT/s320/step+up+finish.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 320px;" /></a> Weight loss motivation usually begins when you have become motivated to improve in other areas of your life. I'm not a psychologist, but I am a human. I know that when I am "messed up" in other areas of my life, it can sometimes be hard to exercise regularly and lose weight or maintain weight. Its also easier to eat those fatty "comfort foods" that pack on the pounds quickly. Here are 4 tips for you: 1. Fear is a huge obstacle for some like fear of setting goals because of fear of failure. According to experts, setting low goals or no goals means you don't have to live up to high expectations. 2. When you have tried everything and nothing has worked, its easier to just give up. Don't give up. Keep trying. All it takes is the right exercise and nutrition program to help you succeed. 3. Remember, weight loss is about improving your health. In an About.com poll, 65% of site visitors said they were losing weight for appearance. And, only 35% said they were losing weight for health. That's why quick weight loss programs (with no long-term benefits) continue to sell out. 4. You can't be perfect. Consistent (and smart) exercise and healthy eating will give you a healthy, toned body. Period. Don't stop no matter how long it takes.

Your Fitness Assessment--10 Reasons You Need One

You need a fitness assessment if you have been inactive for a while. You need to know where you are with fitness and how to begin taking steps to improve your health. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisr-kRvXDwtjVKH7xa9C7lRqhVlMIgJZysiqS51DNSQu7BBpilAXCrshHUew6XfGS3yv6mkDrkI_Vf0-uRuoQQVUewPlEELBN1meQvhLZ9E4cn0xkl2J5XEH-acyDukl0HiuKb6W7SP4mU/s1600/woman-pear.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisr-kRvXDwtjVKH7xa9C7lRqhVlMIgJZysiqS51DNSQu7BBpilAXCrshHUew6XfGS3yv6mkDrkI_Vf0-uRuoQQVUewPlEELBN1meQvhLZ9E4cn0xkl2J5XEH-acyDukl0HiuKb6W7SP4mU/s320/woman-pear.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> If you are overweight or have too much body fat (a skinny person can have too much body fat), your body is not as healthy as it could be. Start making changes today! Here are 10 reasons you need a fitness assessment: 1. Identify your fitness goals and determine why your fat loss and weight loss efforts have failed or succeeded in the past. You also have to get your motivation right for your exercise program to work for you. This step takes you being "very honest" with yourself! Sometimes it is a painful process. 2. You will learn your body composition (body fat % vs. lean mass %). You will also learn "where you are fat." Excess abdominal fat has been shown to be a precursor to diseases such as cancer. 3. When's the last time you had your body measurements taken (chest, arms, neck, hips, waist, etc.)? This is part of your fitness assessment. 4. What's your health history? You might need a doctor's clearance before you can begin an exercise program. 5. What are your eating habits? Part of your assessment will look at what you are eating, how you are eating and changes that you need to make. 6. What is your basal metabolic rate? Don't know? You will after your fitness assessment. This rate helps you set the daily calories you will need. 7. Have you had low back pain for some time? If so, you probably have postural problems that need to be corrected. And, yes, a postural assessment is part of your fitness assessment. 8. Had any muscle spasms or "knotted muscles" lately? Then, you need to improve your flexibility. The fitness assessment will tell you where your muscles are tight, lengthened or weak. 9. When's the last time you checked your resting pulse rate? Your resting pulse rate will tell you how hard your heart is working in a resting state. For instance, my resting pulse rate was 58 beats per minute the last time I checked it. That's pretty low. When I was at peak condition as a college athlete, my resting pulse rate was 54-56 beats per minute. 10. How ready is your body for physical activity? You don't know? You will after your fitness assessment.
