Ab circle pro!

08/26/2012 08:30

Ive lost 1 pound in 2 days with the ab circle pro, I work out 15 mins  twice a week.    

For best results work out 3 times a week for 15-30 mins.

This schedule is so you dont over due your work out and gives you body resting time, Taking a hot 5 min shower before a work out helps open pores and helps muscles relax so you dont feel that daily strain.

Got a weight issue or know someone who does?

08/25/2012 21:09

 

Got a weight issue or know someone who does? Well, the Average Joe over here has some unique and natural ways to lose weight.
 
 
1.You really have to think of your self as beautiful. Because not only do people notice, but the world will seem like a much brighter place and it reduces stress.Ways to do this,Once a week get dressed up even if your not going out, have dinner with your self, Think about The things you like and how the make you unique.
 
2. Does your back sometimes hurt? Recently through my own experience, my chiropractor told me that when your back is out of wack so is your stomach. Which can cause discomfort in the stomach,back and can cause weight gain because your system isn’t working right.
          —>so, go to a chiropractor ask for an exam. 
(My doctor recommended ENZYMES.(Zypan) A natural pill that speeds up your metabolism.)
 
 3. Obviously: NO FAST FOOD! There’s over 1,000 calories in just one sandwich.  Here is a link of how many foods you could really be eating that will keep you fuller longer and give you more energy:
 
4. Exercise! I`m not talking running for a few hours or going to the extreme but, go for a walk say 15-30 mins a day. Take a camera with you! Take an Ipod!  Take some pictures at the local park or a trail near home. You could even just a walk around your neighborhood. Just relax and open your eyes.Strech in the shower, Take your dog for a jog.If your self conscious and dont want to be outside running for everyone to see, Think about the big picture You will start to loose wieght ,When you loose wieght people notice and then You will be very glad you step out of your comfort zone.
 
5. Replace the desserts/snacks/treats!!!
We all love dessert. Things that are sweet… and who would want to give up chocolate ?!?!?
Well I`m not telling your to give it up just REPLACE IT!!!!  
Their are desserts that taste good and are good for you,(believe it or not). Instead of eating a chocolate bar, buy nuttella. Use 1 tea spoon and put it on all natural whole wheat bread or even on a strawberry. Make your own parfee , Buy yogurt,nutgrain cereal and a fruite, mix these all togthere and you might not want cant again.
 
6. HAVE A GOAL.
A pound lost each week is 50 pounds a year!!! Amazing! 2 pounds a week is 100 pounds lost a year! DON’T aim high. Anything above 3-4 pounds a week is unhealthy. Just one pound can equal a lot in the end.
 (Put sticky notes on your wall,locker,door,office,computer, mirror that states  1 pound a week.)
 
7. Speak up for Natural Salt!!! Natural Salt works great for a number of things.
Not only does it taste great, But, it can get rid of headaches and  hellllooooo It`s good for you!
(Yes I did say gets rid of headaches, so no more spending money on ibuprofen or drugs that have fine prints that say Danger may cause… No one wants to  think they’re taking something that could cause more damage. Simply take a dash of salt then water ever 20 mins untill your headaches gone and well there you go.) when You read up on health most the time they say get rid of salt but your body still needs a certain percentage to function right.

8. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Its true! Just 1 apple a day can make a huge difference. Eat one with breakfast or for a snack, even before a meal. Does apple juice count? NO! apple juice contains sugar which in the end will not be any benefit to you. 
Nuttella again? That`s right put nutella on your sliced apples. I eat an apple a day and have noticed you can only eat something so many times before it gets boring. Nutella, Natural Honey, Low Fat Cheese and Crackers are all great things you can use to help you keep eating that 1 apple a day.
 
9. A Pear a day!?!? Like I said eating apples get boring after awhile.Switch it up! An Apple Monday and a Pear Tuesday and continue to switch off every day. Pears contain 15% of your daily recommended fiber  intake. 
 
10.FIBER!FIBER!FIBER!!!
Fiber is a great way to lose weight , it helps your digestive system get all that icky stuff out of your stomach. So, when you buy products look at the label and read how much fiber is in 1 serving if one product has 10% fiber and the other has 11% go for 11%! that ONE number can make a difference also another snack is Fiber 1 bars!
 
11. Grapefruit.
Personally, I`m not a fan of the Grapefruit. I could only ever it it when it had sugar on it but hey! If it’s something you like- all natural ,add it to your shopping list. One half of a Grapefruit before each meal can help you loose 1 pound even without changing anything else you eat!
 
12.ALMONDS! 
All natural unsalted almonds is a GREAT way to loose weight! and it is good for the heart. Got a Costco card? Put almonds on your shopping list and get that LARGE container. If you’re someone who eats while watching TV or just likes snacking on chips….guess what? We’re swapping chips for almonds! Almonds contain more magnesium then spinach or oatmeal and lowers cholesterol.
 
13. Vegetables!
Vegetables are natural and can be eaten steamed or raw which is another great food if you eat when bored.(carrots,mushrooms,sweet peppers) If you like eating your vegtables with salad dressing , get half the amount of salad dressing and mix it with a bit of water,this cuts cals.
 
14. Water
Drinking at least 2 glasses of water before a meal. Yup! not one but 2! We usually eat because we think we’re hungry. But actually half the time we’re dehydrated. Water helps fill you up and will help you eat less when you’re at dinner. Drink at least 2 glasses of water an hour before each meal. That equals 8 glasses which is the daily recommend amount anyways. :)
 
15. Ginger
Ginger gives a boost to your metabolism, which helps us digest food. You can add it to tea and instead of using sugar in your tea use natural honey. You can even use ginger in cooking like in stir fry you can look up different ways to use ginger in cooking while using the internet.
 
16.  Natural Cinnamon 
Add half teaspoon to your smoothie,(no sugar smoothie)
Sprinkle on top of your Oatmeal with some apples and raisins.
Sprinkle some one your apples and honey or honey and crackers.
Make a toast with Cinnamon and honey sprinkled on top.
even heat up apples and put cinnamon on it,
thats agreat dessert,Taste like apple pie minus the crust.
 
 
17. Make Overs!!
Ok even if we don`t go around in fancy pink clothes dressing like the next Paris Hilton there are people who we wish we looked like and who we think are beautiful. Email me and  send me a photo of you and the person you idol and I`ll message you back with some tips to help you get people notice you.
