Kickboxing rocks my world!
For the past year I have been anxiously waiting to take a Muay Thai kickboxing lesson in Atlanta, GA. Last week I was in Atlanta for a business conference and I finally got that kickboxing lesson I had been waiting for. Most of you know that boxing is my #1 favorite sport. Why do I love boxing so much? It’s a great weight loss workout, mighty good for the soul and it’s just plain awesome. No one really understands until they try it for themselves.
Today I have another great guest article on best diet app tips. Please help me welcome Lynette to the blog.
3 Things You’ll Want To Look For In A Diet App
Over the years, I’ve bought many diet books, recipe books and all that stuff but they all have one down fall. You can’t carry your bookcase with you. This means, I would stumble and often fall hard every time we ate out or traveled.
Not anymore, thanks to the smartphone. Even so, it did take me a while to find an app that would work for me. After many trials, I’ll share some thoughts that you’d want to weigh when searching for the app that’s just right.
Here is a great guest post article from my friend Satu. Enjoy!
Before I started writing this piece, I surfed the Internet for ideas and found a great quote from FitnessMagazine.com: “When your brain abandons your workout routine, your body is soon to follow.” If you can make your usual walk even asleep, it’s time to mix things up.
Avoiding workout boredom is not the only reason to vary your fitness walking routine, it’s also a great way to increase your fitness level and calorie consumption. Varying your routine also helps you avoid overuse injuries that can become a problem if you always do the same thing.
Read my suggestions for spicing up your walking routine below. Some ways to add variety you can put into use immediately, while others require some planning.
#1 Vary Duration, Terrain and Scenery
Do you always follow the same old path? Next time you go walking, pick a different route or simply walk your customary route in reverse. You’ll be surprised how different familiar landmarks and building look when you approach them from a different direction.
Another simple way to add variety to your walks is to alternate between short and long walks. If you usually take short 30-minute walks during workdays, add one 60-minute walk to your weekly routine. Likewise, if you always walk on city streets, try walking in a park or even woods once in a while. Walking on an uneven surface is a new challenge for your body, and your brain will love you for it.
Here’s a great video I found with some short and sweet Earth Day ideas.
It’s been just over a year since I went vegetarian (OK I still eat fish, dairy and eggs) but I’m happy I made the change. Maybe one day I’ll try vegan for a day.
Today is Blog Your Heart Out Day, a day to talk about women and heart disease. My friend Sahar from Fat Fighter TV lost her mom to this disease and asked that I share something with you today to help spread the word about keeping the heart healthy. I was happy to do so especially because I totally understand since my mom was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and other family members and friends have been diagnosed with other cancers too. Gotta kick CANCER to the curb!
Here are 5 Ways for Keeping the Heart Healthy:
Came across an article, Laughter: Good For Your Health and I totally agree that laughter is the best medicine. A day doesn’t go by that Kev and I don’t laugh. You must live life to the fullest because you do not know what tomorrow will bring. Seriously! I know they say that researchers don’t know if it’s the act of laughing that is proven to have health benefits but it sure doesn’t hurt. I know I always feel good after a good laugh and sometimes we laugh so hard it’s just like a workout LOL
