Happy New Year!I have been getting lots of email in the past few days from readers from some of my other fitness sites, asking how to get started on an exercise program. With the start of the New Year, we all have good intentions, but sometimes they never get realized for some reason or another.So, here is my suggestion.Just do something. If you are finding it difficult to allot yourself some

In the past, I have made every excuse in the book to stray from whatever weight loss program I was on. And of course the biggest deal I would make with myself was, after the holiday I will go on a diet and exercise. Yeah right. That did happen, every single New Years day that I can remember in fact.

Take a WalkI like to walk. I didn't always though. When I was one hundred pounds overweight, just taking 20 steps would take my breath away. But now that I have lost 52 pounds, I can do so much more. I walk 45 minutes to 1 hour 3-5 times a week and I work out on my treadclimber 3-4 times a week. I've come a long way.I wanted to pass along a little walking tip because walking not only helped me

Because of the Holiday Season, I thought this was important to share. Did you know there is a connection between weight gain and sleep deprivation.Oh Yes. Studies have proven that sleep deprivation and a stressful lifestyle, may increase levels of cortisol which makes the breakdown of fat more difficult. The answer may sound simple, but is it.Getting more quality sleep is the key. Try to go to

My most important fitness tool is my Bowflex Treadclimber TC5000. For my entire life I hated the thought of any kind of exercise. Hence, probably the biggest reason I became so big.When my revelation hit me, I decided that if I was serious about losing weight I was going to have to commit.
