•Are Wii Kidding Ourselves?
? The Nintendo Wii Fit was released to the public recently with much ballyhoo. If you haven't seen the Nintendo Wii game system, it is the latest evolution in video game playing where players use the remote to mimic real-life actions such as a tennis forehand. The players' physical actions are then played out on the screen.
The Wii Fit is a "game" that according to the Nintendo website can increase your fitness levels. "By playing Wii Fit a little every day, you, your friends, and your...
•Finding Your Fat Loss Trigger
Everyone has a trigger - a point in time where you decide to finally take action. For some, it's a trip to the doctor's office. For others, it could be a special occasion where you want to look your best - a wedding, a reunion, or a beach vacation. For me, it was one of the socially awkward situations that fat people often find themselves in.
So there I was, breathing heavily and drenched in sweat. I had just "sprinted" (or as some might call it, "rumbled") through McCarran International...
•In Order to Burn Fat, You Must Go Into Debt
No, I'm not suggesting you sink all of your money into every fat loss product imaginable. In fact, you can go into this kind of debt without spending a nickel. I'm talking about oxygen debt, and it is critical to fast and efficient fat loss!
Traditional "cardio", where you do long bouts (45 minutes or more) on a treadmill or an elliptical machine at a moderate pace has always been the recommendation of doctors and trainers. Why? Because at a moderate pace your body is using stored body...
•The Big Fat Loss Scam
Do you know how many fat loss products are on the market today? That is because none of them work!
And how do I know that none of them work? I've pretty much tried them all! Powders, pills, shakes, juices, foods, machines, tapes, books, DVDs, creams, ointments - all promising quick, painless, long-lasting fat loss. All backed by scientists, doctors, research, real-life examples - and all a bunch of crap!
Take the tried and true "medical doctor endorsement." Well now, if a licensed,...
•The Consequences of Being Fat
It is truly amazing how much information is thrown at Americans on a daily basis about nutrition and exercise - newspapers, magazines, nightly newscasts, websites, e-mails. You would think with all of the eating and workout information available to Americans today that we would be a very healthy collective society - yet almost three out of every four American people are fat! Are people just ignoring what they hear? Too stupid to understand? Too lazy to care?
My suspicion is that we as a...
•The Ten Fat Loss Mistakes You Are Making at the Gym - Part 1
1. Stop Using Weight Machines! Weight machines are sexy, sleek, shiny, and smooth. Perhaps that is why gym owners and lazy personal trainers have fallen head over heels in love with them.
Gym owners pack their gyms with these eye catching devices so that they could get more people into their gyms without having a large amount of trainers on staff. Those gym goers who do utilize personal training services often get a highly paid escort who walks them from machine to machine and adjusts the...
•The Ten Fat Loss Mistakes You Are Making at the Gym - Part 2
6. Never Workout Without Music! Did you ever pay attention to the soundtrack of your favorite TV show or movie? Did you every wonder why certain songs were playing at certain times? Music evokes emotion, and emotion can carry you through even the toughest of workouts. I've had workouts totally come apart when the battery died on my iPod Nano!
Several studies have been conducted to show the effect of music on workouts. One study showed that upbeat, hard-driving music can increase your strength...
