Protein Counting – What is the Important Number?

<div class="MsoNormal">The goal of most exercise regimens and diets is to reduce fat while adding tone or muscle mass in body composition. A part of dieting and most serious fitness routines is counting calories and grams. </div><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">It can get far more in depth than that in tracking dietary intake with many choosing to separate saturated fats, sugars, and complex carbohydrates for starters; but calories, unsaturated fats, and proteins are important numbers for even casual fitness or health conscious individuals. The question is whether simply counting grams is of any real benefit.<o:p></o:p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCjPT8QpLP1oAN9nxcxQXunANwj_cNQ6oK4aUSTuVJ88poEK2HJajvyT64c5DgqzpsmpWBFvZ3iISyTQRHSP1THurPPWRTiC6IYaYMO8n-qH_cLhd4XwM4wUmcYK5cn7ecRWnHDb6iiZGW/s1600/eggs+and+salmon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCjPT8QpLP1oAN9nxcxQXunANwj_cNQ6oK4aUSTuVJ88poEK2HJajvyT64c5DgqzpsmpWBFvZ3iISyTQRHSP1THurPPWRTiC6IYaYMO8n-qH_cLhd4XwM4wUmcYK5cn7ecRWnHDb6iiZGW/s320/eggs+and+salmon.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> </div><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">What is the Goal?<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">If the goal is reduction of body fat percentage and weight associated with body fat percentage then reduction of calories through diet and burning of calories and fat with exercise are the primary methods. Since the goal is virtually never to reduce lean muscle mass, the counting of protein becomes a factor. </div><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">Simply reducing intake of food completely (and therefore calories) without consideration of protein will put you at risk of catabolizing (breaking down) the lean muscle tissue as well as the stored fats. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">Counting of Calories and Protein<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">A correct diet for weight loss or fat burning without loss of lean muscle will include a reduction in calories as well as maintaining protein intake. This is where the attention turns to the grams of protein in your daily diet. If your goal is to gain lean muscle mass, the protein counting becomes even more important. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">In both instances, the ratio of calories and protein – or to be more precise the percentage of calories from protein is a more important number than actual grams of protein. You cannot effectively gain muscle mass without additional protein intake, and it is difficult to lose weight without a portion of it coming from breaking down muscles if you have inadequate protein intake. </div><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">In both cases, you want a lower overall body fat percentage, so you do not want to simply eat protein if it means dramatically higher caloric intake from fats or other sources. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">This leaves the number to be watched as a percentage of calories from protein. In dieting, to increase muscle mass and burn fat, a good goal is to get 35-40% of your calories from proteins. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">Calories from Proteins as a Percentage in Foods<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="ListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">             Sirloin Steak     59%</div><div class="ListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">          Chicken Drumstick    51%</div><div class="ListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">                    Typical Ground Beef    23%<o:p></o:p></div><div class="ListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">                   Salmon   56%<o:p></o:p></div><div class="ListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">                   Eggs    34%<o:p></o:p></div><div class="ListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">                   Peanuts    18%<o:p></o:p></div><div class="ListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">                   Plain Non-fat Yogurt   43%<o:p></o:p></div><div class="ListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">                   Skim Milk    40%<o:p></o:p></div><div class="ListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">                  Whole Milk    21%<o:p></o:p></div><div class="ListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">                  <a href="http://monstersupplements.com/store/product_list-sub_cat-71-asc-long_name-lang-1.html">Whey Protein</a>    96%<o:p></o:p></div><div class="ListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">                  Egg whites    95%<o:p></o:p></div><div class="ListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">                 Chicken breast  80%   <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">This sample listing gives an idea of good (and bad) ways of getting a higher percentage of your total calories from proteins. <o:p></o:p> Consistency is the key to building muscle mass and maintaining your lean and healthy body. <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Mark Dilworth, BA, PES</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><a data-mce-href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/" href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Fitness Hut</a></div> </div>

Do You Underestimate How Much You Eat Daily?

How much do you eat every day? Have you ever journalized what you eat in a day? If not, you may be underestimating your daily caloric intake. Research shows that people will underestimate the amount of calories they eat for various reasons. <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrvMgtwl9wcxf8ZWiEJtSmrYzPN_qDIFY3aFrKjAEBMaxi69NNzkkOMT4oqXFUVfBxfK3klKsgqtqMoyKqhAC4hy_Msr3aZcaB_Ab7YMsqOaQbZcTqyQQVvI5Q1zdLfDdI6s68bD__1s5H/s1600/food+journal.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrvMgtwl9wcxf8ZWiEJtSmrYzPN_qDIFY3aFrKjAEBMaxi69NNzkkOMT4oqXFUVfBxfK3klKsgqtqMoyKqhAC4hy_Msr3aZcaB_Ab7YMsqOaQbZcTqyQQVvI5Q1zdLfDdI6s68bD__1s5H/s320/food+journal.jpg" /></a></center> According to the True Results Health Honesty Survey, 46 percent of those surveyed are not honest with family members and 32 percent admit to lying to doctors. True Results is a team of leading weight loss experts based in Texas. "Lying about your health and fitness, if even only a few times per year, can signify a fundamental issue in your ability to achieve your health goals," said Jessica Diaz, nutritionist and exercise physiologist for True Results. "Numerous studies have shown, the key to achieving any health or fitness goal is support from those around you and that cannot happen if you're not honest with yourself or others." Its a good idea to journal your eating habits until you have a handle on what, when and how much to eat. Although you don't need to strictly count calories, you need to have a good handle on how many calories you are eating and burning every day. Even if you eat whole, natural foods, you cannot eat as much as you want. You will gain weight if you consistently maintain daily caloric surpluses (eat more calories than you burn). <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=248" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">3 Veggies to Eat to Burn Abdominal Fat</a> Those who have succeeded at transforming their bodies from fat to lean have health and fitness practices that they do on most days. It becomes a lifestyle. It really is that simple. You become what you habitually do, whether good or bad. So, you need to establish what works for you to stay lean and keep the weight off. Here are 5 tips to eat smarter: 1. Get your snacking under control. I am a snacker and always have been. That can be good or bad depending on the type of snacks I eat and how much. Its good to eat small meals every 3-4 hours but you still have to eat the right foods. 2. Don't eat empty calories. Loading up on sugary drinks or foods are not very nutritious and they leave you wanting to eat more in just a short time. They also spike your blood sugar levels and encourage your body to store fat. 3. Drink more water to help you <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2012/09/7-easy-tips-to-eat-quality-calories-consistently.html#.UV0tG6LqlLc">eat less.</a> Drink daily about a half an ounce of water for every pound of body weight (150 pound person would drink 75 ounces). Since your muscles are comprised of about 70% water, don't dehydrate yourself. During exercise, drink about a cup of water for every 15 minutes of exercise. Water-based foods such as fruits and vegetables count toward water consumed. When you don't drink water, try beverages such as unsweetened tea. Limit the sodas. 4. Eat a balanced diet based on the macronutrients (healthy fats, carbohydrates, protein) before progressing to more advanced eating strategies like carb cycling. Eat enough to burn fat and build muscle. This will eliminate starvation diets. For instance, you should eat protein with every meal. Protein is critical for rebuilding muscle tissues after strength workouts. Protein also helps you control calorie intake because you stay fuller for longer. 5. Get 7-8 hours of deep sleep each night so your <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2012/11/12-training-tips-to-boost-metabolism-and-torch-fat.html#.UV0suqLqlLc">body's metabolism</a> will work properly. Researchers have found that the less sleep the test subjects got, the higher their body mass index. The shorter sleep time altered the subjects hormone levels, energy decreased and appetite increased. BONUS TIP: Have an active lifestyle. This is a critical step to help you lose and manage your weight. Keep your fat-burning enzymes working during the day by standing and walking as much as possible. All movement burns calories. Consistency is the key to maintaining your lean and healthy body. <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=248" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eat These 3 Foods to Burn More Belly Fat</a> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Mark Dilworth, BA, PES</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><a data-mce-href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/" href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Fitness Hut</a></div>

7 Tips to Control That Eating Thing and Burn Fat

If you want to burn fat, you must "control that eating thing." Going on starvation diets just to lose weight won't work to transform your body. You end up having what you're trying to avoid--weight gain. If you've never tried a starvation diet, you're not missing anything except misery. And, if you're consistently eating too much, that's misery and weight gain too. Food is meant to nourish and energize your body and it should be enjoyed in the right portions. Here are 7 tips to get your eating under control: <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA_oneHEDhPVj4HWyuwdVVLy61b2PaE9DPLTRUzhv_pZnqoy92Js-jZ8-s9YjwxcbJfEs6i2vqScurB-zB_IZS1RsxBRfR6v7qWDd8-WIUHEsEn0J3E0UmxX-eEArhRJJiRuZMDKaG1oDk/s1600/salad4.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA_oneHEDhPVj4HWyuwdVVLy61b2PaE9DPLTRUzhv_pZnqoy92Js-jZ8-s9YjwxcbJfEs6i2vqScurB-zB_IZS1RsxBRfR6v7qWDd8-WIUHEsEn0J3E0UmxX-eEArhRJJiRuZMDKaG1oDk/s320/salad4.jpg" /></a></center> 1. Make a commitment to a lifetime of fitness and health and not to a diet. Don't become too concerned with pounds on the weigh scale. Those who have succeeded at transforming their bodies from fat to lean have health and fitness practices that they do on most days. It becomes a sustainable lifestyle. You need to keep a food journal until you know what, how much and when to eat. <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=248" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">3 Veggies to Eat to Burn Abdominal Fat</a> 2. When you get in the habit of going on starvation diets, its hard to stop. The less food you eat, the more weight you’ll lose, right? Sorry, but it just doesn’t work this way in the long-run. Starvation slows the <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2012/10/4-smart-tips-to-burn-fat-and-shed-pounds.html#.UNwCaeS_BLc">fat-burning process</a>. Your body relies on the nutrients in whole, natural foods for fuel. When you starve yourself, it senses the downward shift in your caloric intake and kicks into starvation mode. When this happens, your metabolism will slow down and your body will hold on to stored fat in order to conserve energy. Muscle mass needs more energy to function than fat. Basically, the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you’ll burn. If you continue to starve yourself, your body will feed on your muscle tissue and make it even harder for you to lose weight. Obviously, if you starve yourself long enough, you’ll have no choice but to lose weight. But the weight loss won’t be healthy, and it will show in your appearance. You’ll become emaciated and your body will start to look like an old bag of bones. The weight lost from starvation diets always comes back. Starvation slows your <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2012/12/keep-your-metabolism-active-at-any-age.html#.UVvEQKLqlLc">metabolism</a> down. And it can take months for it to return to normal. As soon as you start eating again, you’ll likely gain all of the weight you lost back, and more. In the end, you’ll wind up bigger than you were before you started starving. On the other end of the spectrum, your hard-earned muscle mass will be covered by layers of fat if you consistently eat too much. 3. Chronic starvation dieters end up with damaged health. If you are eating 900 calories a day, that is not enough food to even support your basal metabolic rate. When you go without food, you don’t get any of the essential nutrients needed for good health. This can result in fatigue, kidney failure, heart failure, gallstones, ulcers, hair loss, muscle weakness and osteoporosis. This is just a short list of the physical problems a starvation diet can cause. We haven’t even touched on the mental stuff. It’s not uncommon for extremely calorie-restrictive dieters to struggle with depression, anger, indifference, memory loss, poor concentration, hallucinations and mood swings. Starvation can also increase your chances of suffering with eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia. In essence, your health will be a mess if you try to lose weight by starving. The worst part about it is that some of the health issues that arise from starvation diets can cause irreversible damage to your body and require long-term hospitalization or lifelong medical care. If you plan to turn starvation dieting into a lifestyle, you’ll end up in a body bag way before your time. No amount of skinny is worth your life. Don’t let the desperation to lose weight push you to go on a starvation diet. 4. Starvation dieters are not concerned with burning body fat. You MUST change your body's composition. You must increase muscle mass to become a “fat-burning machine.” This keeps the weight off your body for good. You don't need to be a body builder but you need to replace the fat (to an acceptable body fat percentage) on your body with muscle mass. This will give you the lean, healthy body you need. You must do more than cardio exercise to change your body's composition. "Cardio only" will not lean out your body. Too much cardio will waste away your muscle mass. Make a commitment to full-body strength training. Among other things, it builds muscle mass, speeds up your metabolism (the body has to work harder to maintain muscle) and helps improve your bone density. And, you’ll look great. 5. Starvation dieters lose water weight. Burn body fat and lose weight. If you lose 20 pounds in 10 days using severe calorie restriction with no exercise (you probably won't have the energy to exercise), just about all of that weight loss will be due to lost muscle mass and water weight. The problem is further compounded if you gained weight without exercise. The composition of this weight gain is mainly fat and water retention. I have seen individuals with up to 70% body fat. One big cause of water retention is too much salt consumption (sodium). If you eat many processed foods and not many whole, natural foods, your sodium consumption is too high---and you will take on more water weight. So, you find yourself regaining this weight quickly when you begin to eat the carbohydrates, proteins and fats that your body needs. Why? Because you will also replenish water stores in your body's cells. 6. Veteran starvation dieters are frequent users. The typical dieter tries a new plan four times a year. "We have this mentality that a diet is something to go on and then get off as quickly as possible," says FITNESS advisory board member Madelyn Fernstrom, PhD, founding director of the University of Pittsburgh's Weight Management Center. "But lasting weight loss requires making lifestyle changes that will work long-term." 7. Quick weight loss veterans deal with slowed metabolism, a weaker immune system, hormonal imbalances, loss of lean mass, increased body fat, decreased energy levels and disrupted sleep patterns. Is that worth it? Stop starving yourself (or eating too much), start eating right and start building your body the right way. Its worth the effort.

Top 10 Protein Sources other than Chicken

By <a href="http://yourfitnessuniversity.biotrust.com/Shop.asp?p=LowCarb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BioTrust</a> Tired of eating the same boring grilled chicken breasts day after day? Have no fear.....I'm going to share with you my top 10 protein sources (other than chicken) that are sure to add some much-needed variety in to your weekly meal plan. Here they are, in no particular order: 1. Eggs - Eat the whole egg, not just the white. The yolk is actually the most nutrient dense portion of the egg, providing a ton of vitamins and minerals...and it has the benefit of making the egg taste mo' better. 2. Shrimp - Grill 'em up, or sautee them in some organic butter or extra virgin olive oil. Mix with veggies and enjoy. 3. Salmon - An awesome fatty fish containing loads of protein and a healthy dose of uber-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. 4. Greek Yogurt - Greek yogurt packs twice the protein of regular yogurt. Go with the plain variety and sweeten with a packet of stevia or truvia (my favorite non-calorie sweetener) if you'd like. 5. Ground Turkey - Super lean and great for chili. Mmmmm chili. Make some. Eat some. Enjoy some. 6. Pork - The "other" white meat, just as lean as chicken when you get the right cut. Go for the boneless chops and trim the outer fatty edge. 7. Chicken Sausage - You probably won't notice the difference between chicken sausage and "regular" pork sausage, but it contains a much more moderate amount of fat...great for those protein and carb meals. 8. Beans - Like black beans, kidney beans, red beans, navy beans, black eyed peas, lentils and the list goes on and on are actually the least expensive protein source in AMERICA (and probably every other part of the world as well). Low glycemic, crazy high in fiber. Add it to your turkey chili, or any other meal you want for that matter. 9. Bison - All the taste of beef while being incredibly lean. Great for protein and carb meals when you're wanting to limit the fat content of a meal while still packing a mean flavor punch. KA-POW! 10. Grass-fed Beef - Grass fed beef is rich in CLA, a special fat that has actually been shown to result in fat LOSS. Eat this...tastes great, great for your figure.

If you use body fat burners that actually work, and continue to consistently use them, you won't have to ever worry about too much body fat again! Warning: It will take longer than you think but you're closer to your fat loss goals than you think. Make the long-term commitment. <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIhgqtDSLY191KP-d4CnrOvzybm3Ckrzw-9YIVj0DME08OlvOO5aylFnQmEdKRob21p0DzM8O2vS0zkMvuN-m8NLK7qYs1zF0NrUITSEqzGBx48tsvTduCBORblIVpBintPN1XqGPpzCir/s1600/MB+rotational+throw+finish.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIhgqtDSLY191KP-d4CnrOvzybm3Ckrzw-9YIVj0DME08OlvOO5aylFnQmEdKRob21p0DzM8O2vS0zkMvuN-m8NLK7qYs1zF0NrUITSEqzGBx48tsvTduCBORblIVpBintPN1XqGPpzCir/s320/MB+rotational+throw+finish.JPG" /></a></center> You don't have to buy any fat burner supplements that either won't work or will only give you a short-term boost. Here are 5 Top Fat Burners that will always work: 1. Make frequent changes to <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/bodyweight-500-metabolic-fat-burner.html#.UeTaltLqmuI">your workout program.</a> Here are some examples: ---vary the workout intensity, repetitions and rest periods ---change the duration of your workouts ---change your exercise routine (try new exercises) every 1-2 weeks ---use different methods such as supersets, circuits and blasts ---use very little machine weight exercises and cardio machine routines (machines do too much work for you) You don't have to workout for 2 hours to get huge fat loss results! Shorten your weight training workouts to 50 minutes or less and ramp up the intensity! Shorten your interval cardio workouts to 20 minutes. Research has proven that <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2011/07/short-bursts-burn-fat-faster.html">short bursts are very effective fat burners.</a> Do as many compound strength exercises (with weights or bodyweight) standing up as possible. These types of exercises work major muscle groups and many times are full-body strength exercises. Squats, deadlift, lunges, standing bentover rows, squat-to curl-to press and bench press are great examples. Full-body core exercises like planks and side planks work well also. Spend less time posing on "mirror exercises" like bicep curls, calf raises and tricep extensions. 2. Shorten and intensify your interval cardio workout! Too many long, slow cardio sessions wastes time and eats away at your muscle mass. Short, intense interval cardio sessions also burn more fat and calories during and after your workout! Research has proven that short bursts are very effective fat burners. Interval cardio sessions of 20 minutes will burn plenty of fat. I recommend sprint and incline intervals on grass. 3. Make needed changes to your eating habits. Its possible to have layers of fat on top of your muscles. Eat whole, natural foods. And, track your calories in a journal until you have a good idea of how you need to eat to burn fat. Don't ruin great workouts by eating bad food with a million calories! It will be easier to eat right if you plan your meals for the week. And, instead of eating out during the day, pack your food. This will protect you from binge eating and haphazard eating (i.e. grazing). 4. Take your fat loss to a higher level with jump (plyometric) exercises and workouts. If you're having trouble sculpting your butt, hips and thighs, try more plyometric training. Plyometric workouts are advanced workouts. You need to perfect jumping and landing techniques or you will injure yourself. And, if you have knee and low back problems, high-speed plyometric training is not for you. Effective fat burners are jump rope, squat jumps, lunge jumps, depth jumps, jumping jacks, tuck jumps, side-to-side hops and front-to-back hops. 5. Get deep sleep each night to improve your growth hormone levels which will improve muscle-building and fat loss. According to nutritionist <a href="http://www.endlessyouthandlife.com/personal-nutritionists-rehan-jalali-news/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rehan Jalali</a>: "90% of GH secretion occurs at night. The circadian rhythms help determine the regulation of hormone released in the body. GH levels need to be maximized during sleep to help rebuild muscle tissue and increase lean body mass. In resistance trained individuals, GH release was lower during the first half of sleep and higher in the second half, whereas it was opposite in non-training individuals." "It’s very important to get deep sleep, according to one detailed study; because if you don’t, it could mean a major decline in GH output, which is bad news for muscle building. The same study showed that GH secretion was majorly associated with slow wave sleep and that when REM sleep declined, evening cortisol levels increased. Cortisol is a catabolic hormone that can break down muscle tissue." Use these effective fat burners to lean out your body and keep the weight off!

How to Slow Aging and Weight Gain

Do you know why you are gaining weight? Is it your sedentary lifestyle? There seems to be a new reason reported every week explaining why we are gaining weight and getting fat. Sedentary jobs have been listed more than once as one of the main causes of weight gain for many people. There's one problem with that theory: many people have "sit-down jobs" and are very <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/healthy-smoothies-for-every-day.html#.Ue-GttLqmuI">fit and lean.</a> <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbd5ZKngTSsy9fxk6tyNu7w79JTTYJkz_EPaeoDeFUSo0YYU8mqdv4Q32cWJdlq9BNzqlde4n26FOgh2KMbDK0muQsqmJdyFyND4U4RbG5uHj55wY7eyKZGgq6m-Bq4ZBW13eyv7jLPSRh/s1600/antioxidant+foods.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbd5ZKngTSsy9fxk6tyNu7w79JTTYJkz_EPaeoDeFUSo0YYU8mqdv4Q32cWJdlq9BNzqlde4n26FOgh2KMbDK0muQsqmJdyFyND4U4RbG5uHj55wY7eyKZGgq6m-Bq4ZBW13eyv7jLPSRh/s320/antioxidant+foods.jpg" /></a></center> And, there are many people who work on their feet who are very overweight. So, its not where you work that determines whether you will or are gaining weight. Our culture encourages us to blame someone or sue someone in court to fix our problems. That works fine unless YOU are the cause of your problems. In the fat loss and weight loss arena, YOU largely determine how much you will weigh. There are medical and genetic exceptions to this weight gain rule but that's a subject for another article. For purposes of this article, you are ultimately responsible for your body fat and body weight. Slow your aging process by <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=435&tid=101foods" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">eating the right foods.</a> Some foods that slow the aging process are apples, blueberries, strawberries, plums, cherries, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, tea and coffee. These foods have plant chemicals, called polyphenols, which are important antioxidants. They help prevent diseases such as cancer and heart disease. These foods also limit the damage of free radicals in our bodies and slow aging. These foods also keep you fuller for longer on very little calories. Despite the popularity of many "other reasons" for our nation's overweight and obesity problem, I still maintain that the primary reason for your weight gain is a caloric imbalance. Simply put, you will gain weight and fat if you consistently eat more calories than you burn. Some will say that theory is outdated. Don't believe them. I realize its important to eat the right types of foods for nutrition and health. But, you will also gain weight if you eat too much of the healthy foods. So, if you have a "sit-down" job, I would recommend that you move more. A standup desk is also a good idea to keep you active during the day. Research proves that when you sit, your fat-burning enzymes basically shut down....when you stand during the day, those fat-burning enzymes go to work for you. Try to stand as much as you can during the day and take walking breaks and lunches to activate your fat-burning enzymes! Any activity is good to go along with your regular workouts. All movement burns calories. Don't blame your job if you're gaining weight. Make changes to your exercise, eating and lifestyle habits. These are the primary keys to you shaping and maintaining a lean and healthy body.

3 Reasons to do Ab Curl Ups and NOT Sit-Ups

The ab curl up is a good <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/bodyweight-500-metabolic-fat-burner.html#.UeTaltLqmuI">core strength exercise</a> if done correctly. Your rectus abdominis (6-pack part of your abs) and obliques should do most of the work. Ab curl ups are also safer and more effective than sit-ups. 3 Reasons NOT to do Sit-Ups 1. There is a correct way to do sit-ups but most people are not familiar with the technique. The hip flexor muscles are preferentially recruited to do much of the work during incorrect execution of sit-ups. Hip flexors connect the spine and lower back. 2. Most people also round the lower back when doing sit-ups. This often leads to muscle imbalances and <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2012/05/5-simple-steps-for-ridding-yourself-of.html#.UUlgphfMBLe">low back pain</a>. Neck pain can also happen if you do sit-ups with your hands behind your head. 3. Because of the injury potential from doing sit-ups, you are better off doing ab curl ups. You will also get a greater range of motion when doing ab ball curl ups. Here are 2 ways to do Ab Curl Ups: Ab Curl Ups on the Floor <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgavRuYB8Ljjuv6h8drccxF_N6Kt9Q9Q6iHzvVEGxWOUk5QaYqyxNpk_QWANP1nrRWu0wZ3bW-a_bkQvVcmBZNkjfXSfGjPOxU21bLhwDlB7CYLWZBGxRzgcSIxyag83OzViWDwxt5ZxRjo/s1600-h/ab+curl+up.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293657817581503058" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgavRuYB8Ljjuv6h8drccxF_N6Kt9Q9Q6iHzvVEGxWOUk5QaYqyxNpk_QWANP1nrRWu0wZ3bW-a_bkQvVcmBZNkjfXSfGjPOxU21bLhwDlB7CYLWZBGxRzgcSIxyag83OzViWDwxt5ZxRjo/s320/ab+curl+up.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 200px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a> Lie on your back, knees bent, arms crossed over your chest and feet flat on the floor. Adjust your pelvis so that your lumbar spine (lower back area) is in the neutral position (slight gap between your back and the floor). The lumbar spine should remain neutral so the low back is not injured. Your shoulders and neck shouldn't assist your abdominals during the movement. The movement should be slow. Curl up and bring your chin towards your chest. Curl up through the upper back and not the neck. Maintain a neutral spine and brace your abs (as if someone is going to punch you in the gut). Keep your ears and shoulders in alignment. Use your abdominals to curl your upper back off the floor. Don't move any other body part and keep your arms, shoulders, neck and legs relaxed as the abs pull you up. Your head and arms should curl up with your shoulders. Stop once your upper back is off the floor. Don't tilt your pelvis or pull with your thighs to lift your upper body. Hold for 2-3 seconds and return slowly to the floor. Use your abdominals to lower your upper back down to the floor. Don't move your head or arms as you return to the start position. You can add weight to your chest to make this exercise more difficult.

Lie on the ball so that your back hugs the ball. Your shoulders and neck shouldn't assist your abdominals during the movement. The movement should be slow. Curl up and bring your chin towards your chest (to about 45 degrees). Curl up through the upper back and not the neck. Brace your abs during the movement (as if someone is going to punch you in the gut). Keep your ears and shoulders in alignment. Don't round your lower back when lifting your torso. Use your abdominals to curl your upper back up. Don't move any other body part and keep your arms, shoulders, neck and legs relaxed as the abs pull you up. Your head and arms should curl up with your shoulders. Don't tilt your pelvis or pull with your thighs to lift your upper body. Hold for 2-3 seconds and return slowly to the starting position.

When was the last time you did strength training without weights. I recommend doing a bodyweight workout at least once a week. It will give your joints a break from lifting weights. If you need a supplement to your regular full body strength workout, this circuit workout is what you need. Circuit workouts are good because you can incorporate exercises like squats, lunges, step ups and pushups and improve your heart health too. And, to get even more fat burn, do some of these exercises as full speed power exercises. Make sure you have mastered proper jumping and landing techniques before incorporating power exercises into your routine. You don't need any machines---just get your body ready for some very intense exercise. If you have knee or low back problems, this type of workout is not for you. Here is your fat-blasting bodyweight strength workout: --Y squats, 10 repetitions each leg --decline pushups (pictured above), 12 repetitions --walking lunges with upper body rotation, 10 steps per leg --inverted rows, 10 repetitions --step ups (knee high platform), 10 each leg --pushup plank, 10, 5 second hold <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNCIw31BzQr-Ch98kaiYbkm3YQ7KXdiKBXcgoHZmek385ybsNBEGTBaeLmaBhmbbnmDHwazxOXJ-uavZy3G2JgSuTIVEg6Q58nBuDMu10gZZFWT8G39sL9nfOTXd6SjnbrfnoRcy52yj3J/s1600/Pushup+plank.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNCIw31BzQr-Ch98kaiYbkm3YQ7KXdiKBXcgoHZmek385ybsNBEGTBaeLmaBhmbbnmDHwazxOXJ-uavZy3G2JgSuTIVEg6Q58nBuDMu10gZZFWT8G39sL9nfOTXd6SjnbrfnoRcy52yj3J/s320/Pushup+plank.jpg" /></a> --side lunges, 10 each leg Try to do each exercise, one after the other, with little or no rest. Rest 2 minutes after the circuit. Do the circuit 3 times. Bodyweight Cardio Use bodyweight cardio to tone up and change up your regular cardio routine. Tone your lower and upper body on cardio day. Doing bodyweight cardio is both a strength and cardio workout. It is one of the best ways to help tone your body. And, it keeps you away from boring cardio routines. Changing up your cardio workout can also help you break thru fat loss plateaus. It only takes about 20 minutes to do this bodyweight cardio workout: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxHkVwKbqSGiT048Q7pUB4eb5i_yVZQm4gh2Ie8vfWdmPU1Z5I1HfW9puKINtmVnGC6Eq3V74-nLEnVz3a3P0Priz6r6enCzRZN0hWwUOZuNNOkP3Kcm9gGe2Ir3-of_evw9yXXeGzq-2s/s1600/speed+ladder2.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxHkVwKbqSGiT048Q7pUB4eb5i_yVZQm4gh2Ie8vfWdmPU1Z5I1HfW9puKINtmVnGC6Eq3V74-nLEnVz3a3P0Priz6r6enCzRZN0hWwUOZuNNOkP3Kcm9gGe2Ir3-of_evw9yXXeGzq-2s/s320/speed+ladder2.jpg" /></a> --deep knee bends, 10 repetitions --pushups on medicine ball, 10 repetitions --deep knee bend jumps, 10 repetitions (slow descent, explosive jump) --pullups, 6-8 repetitions --speed ladder - lateral speed steps, 10 repetitions (pictured above), full speed --triceps dips, 10 repetitions, feet and hands on benches (body hanging) --front-to-back hops, 10 repetitions each side of cone, full speed Do this circuit 2-3 times.

But since I don’t believe in making any foods taboo, there are the occasional not-so-healthy indulgences. And when the seasons change, I always feel an urge to “healthify” my diet. The warmer weather inspires me to take a close look at my eating habits and simplify my diet by eating the things that really make my body feel best and limit foods that are not so good for me. Here are 10 healthy eating habits I am focusing on right now to detox my diet. 1. Cut Down On Alcohol <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOWb95FNicXyVrw75L17oeI2Yp7gJ0nsaUoe8G_rO4M3MC-Uks8gx5h-avaltChdyKG9q80PjOhs_5s0jM1RpcngRePiJyyNeIeAGqpzCFYIHrIzbj7W2GSifrIRsDSx_gg1It9JbERDp8/s1600/alcohol.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOWb95FNicXyVrw75L17oeI2Yp7gJ0nsaUoe8G_rO4M3MC-Uks8gx5h-avaltChdyKG9q80PjOhs_5s0jM1RpcngRePiJyyNeIeAGqpzCFYIHrIzbj7W2GSifrIRsDSx_gg1It9JbERDp8/s320/alcohol.jpg" /></a></center> Although several studies have shown that moderate amounts of alcohol (1 drink per day for women, 2 for men) can have some health benefits—raising “good” HDL cholesterol, “thinning the blood” (preventing clots that can cause heart attack and stroke) and possibly warding off dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, there are some good reasons to make sure that your alcohol consumption stays moderate. Alcohol takes a toll on your liver, the major organ of your body devoted to “detoxing” your system. It also acts as a diuretic, making it harder to stay hydrated. One idea to cut back: Try sticking to the suggested limit of one drink a day for women, two for men. (Think of the calories and money you’ll save!) Looking for an alcohol-free drink at cocktail hour? Try club soda with a splash of juice. 2. Cut Down On Sugar <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidMUEeI07JwZmBYKAhms4A4AvvRnenPUQLWSwrlXgT2H4qyTvzQar6_7y60kdpwlmojejmbnwQWGR34PHA2fzfCEgb1-yD7hqgvxrZx3Iz_4dPMSBdUyLo4HXKER4BWDgo9Z3rBhkG-_A7/s1600/sugar.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidMUEeI07JwZmBYKAhms4A4AvvRnenPUQLWSwrlXgT2H4qyTvzQar6_7y60kdpwlmojejmbnwQWGR34PHA2fzfCEgb1-yD7hqgvxrZx3Iz_4dPMSBdUyLo4HXKER4BWDgo9Z3rBhkG-_A7/s320/sugar.jpg" /></a></center> Most of us eat too much sugar. On average, Americans consume 475 calories of added sugars every day (that’s 30 teaspoons), which is way higher than what’s recommended by the American Heart Association (6 teaspoons per day for women, 9 for men). High intake of added sugar is linked with risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure and high triglyceride levels. One idea to cut back: Skip processed foods, which can be loaded with hidden added sugars, and when you want a sweet treat, reach for fruit for a natural sugar fix. 3. Cut Down On Salt <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf2NmvixbhyphenhyphenFBvOZhMmQaLoCyNN76wwjofElvWA1rnRzJeMWPZ_4If4GaPZSytDoIhbfmAgRyz_GRoPBkTM66d4UBv8Nx0AHKcfsSv-5zQSM5UZzD1TVGtMVLo-5KulJBbTLZfpyryF32S/s1600/sea_salt.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf2NmvixbhyphenhyphenFBvOZhMmQaLoCyNN76wwjofElvWA1rnRzJeMWPZ_4If4GaPZSytDoIhbfmAgRyz_GRoPBkTM66d4UBv8Nx0AHKcfsSv-5zQSM5UZzD1TVGtMVLo-5KulJBbTLZfpyryF32S/s320/sea_salt.jpg" /></a></center> Americans, on average, eat 3,400 milligrams of sodium in a day, about 1,000 mg more than we should. And if we cut that much out of our daily diets, we’d lower our risk of heart disease by up to 9 percent, according to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine. Restaurant foods and processed foods both tend to be very high in sodium, so a key step in lowering your sodium intake is to cook at home using fresh ingredients instead. One idea to cut back: Try eating out less and cooking more at home using fresh ingredients instead. And try boosting flavor with herbs and spices rather than salt. 4. Cut Down On Saturated Fat <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbU93RNEYx80ZbrSPURoXHXYnOa2wC7dWdVJJgQGwv9nV-NBHsb4NO1WKyeTDpvK2j8ohXDgweWIOZeMToPaLHjvjAi0HDXBH7oZuBx33ZetK0rZfl-qKVqFt1EA6yrEa2TTHQim9iqvV8/s1600/butter.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbU93RNEYx80ZbrSPURoXHXYnOa2wC7dWdVJJgQGwv9nV-NBHsb4NO1WKyeTDpvK2j8ohXDgweWIOZeMToPaLHjvjAi0HDXBH7oZuBx33ZetK0rZfl-qKVqFt1EA6yrEa2TTHQim9iqvV8/s320/butter.jpg" /></a></center> Saturated fat—the kind of fat that’s found in whole milk, cheese, butter and meat—raises your “bad” LDL cholesterol, which can damage arteries. One idea to cut back: Avoid animal fats and swap them for healthier unsaturated fats from plant foods like nuts, avocados and olive oil. 5. Cut Down On Refined Grains <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbUMORinuujT6rqMtSKg2OtapNQe91gxTZ2m-EgkPznzyRtysiRHRAOD8yzHswCD3vODZQEcfivzOs678DfKIHBdjeI51oAKe7mONeaCe-DeFodbEQuDx57SMMuVv2h60dhFntPWeHSLdA/s1600/pasta_spag_uncooked.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbUMORinuujT6rqMtSKg2OtapNQe91gxTZ2m-EgkPznzyRtysiRHRAOD8yzHswCD3vODZQEcfivzOs678DfKIHBdjeI51oAKe7mONeaCe-DeFodbEQuDx57SMMuVv2h60dhFntPWeHSLdA/s320/pasta_spag_uncooked.jpg" /></a></center> Refined grains—white flour, white rice—are stripped of beneficial fiber, vitamins and minerals. So while they add calories, they’re not really providing much in the way of nutrients. And since they’re low in fiber, they’re less satisfying than whole grains. One idea to cut back: Check the ingredient list and make sure the word “whole” describes the grains in the product—if it just says “wheat flour,” for example, that’s not whole-wheat, so make another choice. 6. Cut Down On Processed Foods <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4J-oug3rlqGYFCs4OG98-EAQ4oYX-qhBczfTseVKOYNJhxTlbiqKP2xWG-icn2HjSF-wwXILsirb8bxRfDmImJiI7v9aMjQn16VPZz5Qqmr_NgA2IBZNIOtX8WrLNpaCnfCDCa1506exZ/s1600/label_maltodextrin.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4J-oug3rlqGYFCs4OG98-EAQ4oYX-qhBczfTseVKOYNJhxTlbiqKP2xWG-icn2HjSF-wwXILsirb8bxRfDmImJiI7v9aMjQn16VPZz5Qqmr_NgA2IBZNIOtX8WrLNpaCnfCDCa1506exZ/s320/label_maltodextrin.jpg" /></a></center> I’m not concerned with minimally processed foods—like plain unsweetened yogurt or washed bagged greens—that are still essentially healthy whole foods. Rather, I’m talking about prepared food products with loads of ingredients. By cutting these out, I can easily minimize my intake of added sugars, salt and trans and saturated fat, too, since these things are often added to processed foods for taste. Plus, I’ll make room for more healthy whole foods in my diet. One idea to cut back: Go through your cabinets and see which of your foods come in boxes and think of alternatives. Two ideas to get started: Swap crackers or chips for crunchy veggies, and if you rely on prepared meals, like mac and cheese or canned soup, find an easy recipe to make your favorites from scratch. 7. Have More Fruits and Vegetables <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuqA5Mcdny5qtppUuL70hpjaZYiOWNPvHcrIZM3HuavUQvR3nCr5UuZ2qrSgGrvl6Mhb07RHV32pwtTH_JgWxHPSI5IAKXQdehmIAcvJKnYtLk_lJh3bVbaP1BH_T4cllArt3o9hB8vuRL/s1600/veggie-heart.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuqA5Mcdny5qtppUuL70hpjaZYiOWNPvHcrIZM3HuavUQvR3nCr5UuZ2qrSgGrvl6Mhb07RHV32pwtTH_JgWxHPSI5IAKXQdehmIAcvJKnYtLk_lJh3bVbaP1BH_T4cllArt3o9hB8vuRL/s320/veggie-heart.jpg" /></a></center> Year-round, I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Not only do they add a lot of flavor and color to meals, they’re nutrient- and antioxidant-rich, low in calories and can help lower your risk for heart disease. One idea to get more: When figuring out what to make for dinner, make vegetables the main event—start with the vegetables you have on hand or what looks good to you at the market. From there, figure out what else (protein, starch) would go well with it. 8. Have More Water <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz0TrBK7YqH0YY2fEY9EXrWKUbbDacaNR7F0e__6KjywFS3ukX5mGz8d3_YD9p27Cp8jspLVXwzRzkrkpKGlU9SxazQIza8K1TWeY-dz69F0aIfc9DpabTSM464TN8RRGKJOTHBopklTZH/s1600/water_glass.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz0TrBK7YqH0YY2fEY9EXrWKUbbDacaNR7F0e__6KjywFS3ukX5mGz8d3_YD9p27Cp8jspLVXwzRzkrkpKGlU9SxazQIza8K1TWeY-dz69F0aIfc9DpabTSM464TN8RRGKJOTHBopklTZH/s320/water_glass.jpg" /></a></center> It’s tempting to choose other beverages, but water really is the best thing to drink. Our bodies are 60 percent water and it’s vital for the function of every organ system, helping to circulate oxygen and whisk away toxins. One idea to get more: Choose it for your main beverage at and between meals. If you’re not a fan of plain water, try a spritz of lemon or lime to jazz it up. 9. Have More Green Tea <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6RxS0v92w5Idef2D8Mhei9exhb8FNLn_XHd72e9tmcFL8sPvkxgxntIaTtN_Q31_cEUb6K8P5YcORIXGiNcaMfVY49kkvYSsnqDL0q-u_v4HMCGNfmpC_YzRph8skPUvtimH4hQybO40Q/s1600/green_tea.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6RxS0v92w5Idef2D8Mhei9exhb8FNLn_XHd72e9tmcFL8sPvkxgxntIaTtN_Q31_cEUb6K8P5YcORIXGiNcaMfVY49kkvYSsnqDL0q-u_v4HMCGNfmpC_YzRph8skPUvtimH4hQybO40Q/s320/green_tea.jpg" /></a></center> Even though I know green tea has a bevy of health benefits—from boosting immunity to fighting cavities—I don’t drink it very often. One idea to get more: Try swapping one of your daily cups of coffee for a cup of green tea instead. 10. Have More Whole Grains <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC_NM-4RB6imar4REJO0WdAqXJ5Y22tM4rqk6aLFGjleuiW08tC3QeejvTgUq6kZNwkFfmGA0J9-VTzSDGHmlTlhPO_EjxaF7qDoZR3SbsWR-Zu4U1XG4kah2DDfk_DNY8xDxJGg9W1mNM/s1600/barley.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC_NM-4RB6imar4REJO0WdAqXJ5Y22tM4rqk6aLFGjleuiW08tC3QeejvTgUq6kZNwkFfmGA0J9-VTzSDGHmlTlhPO_EjxaF7qDoZR3SbsWR-Zu4U1XG4kah2DDfk_DNY8xDxJGg9W1mNM/s320/barley.jpg" /></a></center> Eating more whole grains could lengthen your life by reducing your risk of cardiovascular, infectious and respiratory diseases, suggests a 2011 Archives of Internal Medicine study. I tend to get in a grain rut—I choose 100% whole-grain breads and tortillas, of course, so technically I’m getting enough whole grains in my diet—but I don’t frequently cook other whole grains. One idea to get more: Try eating one new-to-you grain, such as quinoa or wild rice, each week. <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Mark Dilworth, BA, PES</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><a data-mce-href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/" href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Fitness Hut</a></div>
