Trim Story and Pics!

Inulin Fiber
Inulin is a soluble plant fiber that is present in high amounts in the chicory plant, along with an estimated 36,000 other plants. Due to its chemical composition, when inulin is mixed with liquid it forms a creamy gel that is ideal for naturally relieving constipation. When gelled, inulin has a structure similar to lipids (fats) that also helps lubricate the digestive system and lessen risk for things like hemorrhoids. Inulin has been found to reduce the risk of colon cancer and improve management of inflammatory bowel diseases. It significantly decreases the number of potentially harmful yeast, parasites and bacterial species living in the body that trigger inflammation. When combined with water, inulin bulks up and forms a gel-like substance that expands in the digestive tract, which helps decrease appetite and cravings, potentially helping with weight loss. As it passes through the digestive system unabsorbed by digestive enzymes, inulin takes with it toxins, waste, fat and cholesterol particles. Research shows soluble fibers help lower blood cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and reduce the risk for hypertension, heart disease and metabolic syndrome (Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions — increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels — that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes). 

Rice Bran Powder

Rice bran is used for treating diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, alcoholism, obesity and AIDS. It is good for preventing stomach and colon cancer, for preventing cardiovascular disease and for strengthening the immune system. It increases energy and improves athletic performance. It is useful for improving liver function and is an antioxidant. Rice bran  can be directly applied to the skin to heal eczema. Rice bran may help lower cholesterol because the oil it contains has substances that might decrease cholesterol absorption and increase cholesterol elimination. One of the substances in rice bran might decrease calcium absorption, which may be helpful in reducing the formation of certain types of kidney stones.

Garcina Cambogia

An incredibly efficient fat burning ingredient, Garcinia Cambogia has received much media attention for its effect on weight loss and food consumption control. This pure ingredient is 100% natural. It is sometimes referred to as Tamarind and it grows primarily in the lush green mountains of India, Southeast Asia and Central Africa. Its primary ingredient is the dietary super supplement known as HCA, which is proven, in scientific studies, to stop hunger in its tracks. The tamarind fruit has traditionally been used in soups as appetizers before meals, because of the smaller portion sizes due to the limited amount of food. Its appetite suppression qualities helped make villagers feel more full (satiety) and the fruit would increase the workers’ fat burning skills (thermogenesis) providing an increase in energy and productivity.

Maqui Berry

The Maqui berry, a great antioxidant food, may be a modern-day fountain of youth. This small purple berry, grown only in southern Chile, is considered one of the strongest antioxidants and is prized for its longevity-enhancing and anti-aging properties. Maqui berries give up to 300% more Anthocyanins and nearly 150% more Polyphenols (the powerful antioxidants that give red wine its super immune-boosting power), than wine or any other fruit or vegetable known to man. By giving the body the antioxidants it needs, it frees the body of damaging free radicals that can actually cause premature aging and disease. Protecting our bodies from the toxins and chemicals that bombard it on a daily basis – which may weaken both our skin cells and internal organs and systems – the Maqui berry can actually help to rejuvenate cells, promote healthier aging and even ward off disease. Another important benefit of this super antioxidant food is its ability to control inflammation throughout the body. Maqui berries help to reduce inflammatory responses, which helps to decrease pain and increase flexibility and mobility, even among people with severe arthritis and fibromyalgia. Those who take Maqui berry on a regular basis also tend to notice considerable weight loss as their bodies become healthier and are able to dispose of toxins that may have been suppressing weight loss in the past. 

Raspberry Ketones

One of the 200 molecules in raspberries that give it its flavour and smell profile. A proven fat dissolver and mentioned in many dietary regiments and even the more popular diets out there always include raspberries at some point in the regiment. And, in the area of health benefits, it’s not lacking there in the least, as Raspberry ketones have been proven to reduce the fatty buildups in and around the liver, which we know to be one of the main contributors to early liver disease, as well as promoting healthy liver function by causing the remaining fat cells to actually produce Adiponectin, which is a protein sorely lacking in most who suffer from obesity and even Type 2 diabetes.

Chromium

Chromium is used for improving blood sugar control in people with prediabetes, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and high blood sugar due to taking steroids and HIV treatments. It is also used for depression, Turner's syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), lowering "bad" cholesterol, raising "good" cholesterol in people taking heart medications called beta blockers, metabolic syndrome, heart attack, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and binge eating disorder. Some people try chromium for body conditioning including weight loss, increasing muscle, and decreasing body fat. Chromium is also used to improve athletic performance, to increase energy, and to prevent age-related mental decline.

Flipping the Switch: Turn Your Motivation On

Have you ever wondered how some people are able to maintain amazing bodies while you struggle with your weight? They make it seem so easy to achieve and maintain results. What do they know that you don't? When you boil it down, the answer is quite simple. The missing link between you and your ideal body is good old motivation. A healthy dose of motivation coupled with determination will get you almost anything in life. So how do you know if you're genuinely motivated? Motivation will tell you to get out of bed for an early workout. Motivation will nag you to put down the doughnut. Motivation makes passing on fries a reflex. Motivation makes a sweat drenched workout exciting. Motivation constantly reminds you why you do what you do. If your motivation levels are lacking, read the following four steps to turn on your motivation. Step #1: Pinpoint Your Motivator.  Motivation stems from having a goal. What is your goal? Why do you want to get into great shape? Once you uncover your personal motivator you'll find that motivation flows quickly your way. Take a minute to really uncover the reason that you want to lose the weight. Don't say something vague like you want to 'Be thinner' or 'Look more attractive.' Dig deeper – there is a very specific motivator in your life, you simply need to uncover it. Here are some possible motivators... I want to have more energy to keep up with the kids. I want to improve my health through weight loss to extend and improve my life. I want to lose 15 pounds before my vacation. I want to restore my confidence to wear sleeveless shirts. I want to regain my figure to impress and attract my significant other. Step #2: Make It Official. When you write something down it suddenly feels official, doesn't it? Write down your motivator for getting into great shape, and post it where you will see it often - next to your alarm clock, on the bathroom mirror, or in your car. Each time you see your written motivator take a moment to visualize yourself accomplishing your goal. Try to make the scene as clear in your mind as possible. This is a powerful tool for maintaining your focus and direction. Step #3: Be Practical. It's game plan time. You know what you want, and now you need to map out exactly how you'll achieve it. It is important to be practical in your planning, rather than throwing out ideas that you know you won't stick with. With any weight loss goal it is important to 1) maintain a healthy low-calorie diet, and 2) participate in a consistent and challenging exercise program. Plan a routine that will fit into your schedule and you'll be more likely to stick with it. Also choose an exercise program that you enjoy - don't force yourself to jog everyday if you hate jogging. Step #4: Call For Backup.  Enlist the support of your friends, family and co-workers. Tell everyone about your goal to lose weight and get fit, you'll be surprised how supportive most people will be. By being open about your goals you'll likely be an encouragement to others to make healthy changes in their own lives. The most effective way to ensure that you meet your goal is to enlist my support, your personal trainer. Together we will identify what really motivates you. Together we will design a workout routine that fits into your schedule and into your life. And together we will see it through until your goal is met.

Fit Over 60! Inspiring Before and After Weight Loss

It can't be easy when you are told because of your age or gender, that you cannot make changes to your body because you are "too old." Now as a subscriber to US Sports Online Strength and Conditioning, you are too savvy to be fooled by those lies. Bottom line as you see this 60 year old beauty break the "rules", is that you are too young when you are in the womb, and likewise you are too old to start when you are dead! Nobody with any sense is going to lie to you and tell you how easy it is to get into great shape for life, but I and no one with any sense will tell you that its impossible. Now read on and let's get after it! -Nate Fit over 60! Before and After Weight Loss of Donna! I can’t tell you how often I hear from women in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s wondering if they would be capable of undergoing transformation because of their age. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again…it is never too late to take charge of your health and fitness and start making healthy positive changes to your eating and exercise habits!! And today I’ll back that up with another inspiring Lose Weight Success Story of one of our Rock Star Hitch Fit clients who is 60 and FIT! I am so proud of Donna. She is the mother of Hitch Fit transformation Kristin ( mother of 4 including Triplets) . After seeing Kristin’s transformation, Donna wondered if she could make some great changes for herself. She received the Hitch Fit Online Weight Loss plan “Lose Weight Feel Great” as a gift, and we were up and running!! Donna did fantastic, she has lost 22 pounds and 10% body fat. What’s even greater than those numbers is the increased energy and strength that she now has which spills over into every other aspect of her life, including enabling her to keep up with all those grandbabies! Donna’s Stats:  Starting weight: 156.6 Ending weight: 134.6 Starting body fat: 35% Ending body fat: 25% Donna’s Story:  “I am 60 years old and my successful Hitch Fit transformation came true because of my daughter, Kristin, who was my inspiration and motivator. Kristin, her husband Anthony, and my four beautiful grandchildren live in Kansas City and I live in St.Louis. On several visits to KC, I kept noticing the muscles that Kristin was developing and she told me she had completed a program called Hitch Fit. Kristin joined the program after giving birth to my four grandchildren (the youngest were triplets) and she wanted to tone up. I could not believe how amazing she looked. Every time I would visit I would comment on how healthy and fit she looked and I kept telling her that I wish I could lose some weight, tone my muscles, and be able to get off some, if not all, of my medications (especially my blood pressure and cholesterol medications). My four grandchildren are the joy of my life and I so wanted to get out of my rut of gaining weight and feeling tired. I wanted to be able to run, play ball and be able to keep up with four energetic 2 and 3 year olds. I was thrilled to receive as my birthday/Christmas gift, from Kristin and Anthony, the 12 week lose weight program from Hitch Fit. I started the end of January and after completing it I have lost 22 lbs. My energy level has increased and I even have some muscle! Hopefully, my lab work has improved that I may be able to discontinue my medications (I will know in the fall). The program is amazing! Diana is so helpful and answers every question you may have. She leads you through until the end of your program. I can’t tell you how grateful and blessed I am that I have a daughter who cared so much about my physical well being that she recommended to me the Hitch Fit weight loss program and encouraged me to do it. I saw her great results first hand, right before my eyes, so I knew it worked. I have changed my lifestyle to eating healthy and exercising. I was able to celebrate this years Mother’s Day with my daughter Meghan in Scottsdale, AZ, hiking mountains, horseback riding, and enjoying life to the fullest! I would not have been able to do that a year ago. Thanks again Kristin and Anthony!!

Wassup' with this 'Chiro' Thing?

Checking in with the Bone Cracker


Working out can sometimes cause your body to get out of alignment or put some other strain on the structure of your body. When this happens it is a wise idea to check in with a good chiropractor and have them help you get back in alignment. Dealing with heavy duty weights on a consistent basis means you need to keep your structure as viable as possible, and a chiropractor is a great way to do so. In fact many of the top bodybuilding pros see a chiropractor on a regular basis and one former multi Mr. Olympia (Franco Columbu) was himself a chiropractor.




Test

How do you know if the chiropractor you are using is good or not? The next time you get a sore back, be deliberately vague on your symptoms. That’s because a good chiropractor can find the problem on his or her own, and a quack can’t. A good chiropractor uses the hands to check the body over and in this checking they find the source of the problem, and then go to work fixing it. So if your chiropractor can get to the issue without you having to be specific, you have a good chiropractor.

Occasional Visit

You don’t need to go to a chiropractor all the time and indeed going too often can drain your wallet. However, an occasional visit is well worth the money and effort and will pay off with big dividends in your training. When your body is free from the impairments that a structure out of alignment causes you can then lift and train at maximum output and that is worth a lot. Also being properly aligned in your structure helps prevent other injuries from occurring.

Consider getting your body adjusted by a chiropractor every now and then to help keep the foundation upon which you build your muscles in top condition.

Why Natural Bodybuilding Is Your Best Option To Build Muscle

Good Morning Athletes and Warriors! No one need to fear the word bodybuilding. As a matter of fact when big box gym trainers and other 'schemers' use the phrase: "Body Sculpting", don't you know that is just another word for Body building? Most body builders are natural body builders. You will see why training like a Natural body builder is a great way to a strong, healthy, and attractive physique; without all of the trappings of performance enhancing drugs and other' yuucky bodybuilderish' stuff. -Nate Why Natural Bodybuilding Is Your Best Option To Build Muscle by Ricardo D Argence When you are in a place where you want a better body and just to be healthier all around, it is time for you to take a look at Natural Bodybuilding. Natural Bodybuilding is the process of losing fat, gaining muscle and generally being healthier without resorting to things like anabolic steroids or HGH. You are putting your health and your progress on the line when you take a substance. Whenever you want to see an improvement in the ability to maintain the shape that you are in, you must turn to Natural Bodybuilding Natural Bodybuilding can be a considered a return to something much more basic to our bodies. After all, in nature, we do not require steroids or HGH to build up our muscles. We developed our muscles because we needed them and because the things that we eat can encourage the growth of our muscles. With that in mind, it is easy to see why Natural Bodybuilding is so good for you. You are taking things at a speed that your body can handle, and you are also in a place where your body can move forward and keep the shape that you get into. Make sure that you remember that natural Bodybuilding will take a holistic approach toward all of the work that you are doing. You should keep a close eye on your eating habits and how your body is affected by them. Because of this, considering your diet is essential. You'll find that whole grains, fresh vegetables, and lean meats all top the list of things that you should eat. You will find that you are going to want to avoid eating foods that are too sugary or too overly processed and that you will want to pay special attention towards looking at the role that protein plays in your eating habits. Eating too many sugars and processed food you're just adding fat and not muscle. Instead, concentrate on proteins and what they can do for you. The only way to heal torn muscle fiber from a hard work out is natural protein. There's a couple of things you must never forget: first, there are no easy routes to Natural Bodybuilding. Second, this program will allow you to make significant yet natural changes to your life. Rather than something that is going to go away the minute that you break a cycle, it will be real progress. By doing this, you are building strength in a healthy way. You are not hurting or damaging your body, and this is important to take into account. While there are a lot of different ways to get there, make sure that you take a look at Natural Bodybuilding and see what it can do for you. It is very important to work towards the body that you want. Natural Bodybuilding is the best way to achieve your fitness goals. More Information: Are you sick and tired of being weak and flimsy?

12 Ways to Restart Stalled Weight Loss What to do When the Scale is Stuck

Just a quick note and we will get to our guest article. Remember its helpful to define "weight loss" as "fat loss". Its not adequate to just lose weight. The reason why you eat healthy and make lifestyle changes would be to energize your life or activities. Focus on body composition as opposed to what the scale says. My clients just looooove hearing this lectures! :) Now on to our guest article. -Nate 12 Ways to Restart Stalled Weight Loss What to do When the Scale is Stuck (From Prevention, Nov 1997; 49(11), By Marisa Fox) Reaching a plateau in weight loss when dieting is common but it can be overcome. The problem is caused when the diet is no longer burning enough calories for the new lower weight. Tips include: monitoring portion size, eating more whole foods, drinking more water, and burning more calories. So you're still doing the same things that peeled off the first 5, 10, or 50 pounds. You've kept up the daily walk, and you're a role model for low-fat eating. So why does it seem that your scale is stuck? You're on a plateau. Join the club. It happens to people losing weight all the time. "Plateaus can happen when you're doing the same thing as you always were, diet and exercisewise," says Terri Brownlee, R.D., dietitian at the Duke University Diet & Fitness Center in Durham, NC. What's changed is you. The smaller you are, the fewer calories you require. So the diet and exercise program that helped you get from 190 pounds down to 160 may not be burning enough calories to get you to your goal of 145. This doesn't mean you have to swear off satisfying meals or walk to the other side of the state and back to get rid of more pounds. You just need to stop for a minute and grab a pencil. Keep a Positive Attitude "Instead of getting down on yourself, try to understand what's not working and rethink your strategy," is the advice for dieters given by Cathy Nonas, R.D., administrative director of the Theodore B. VanItallie Center for Nutrition and Weight Management at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. That's what Cathy Upchurch did when she hit a two-month plateau after losing 70 pounds. "I kept on giving myself pep talks and refused to give up," says this 45-year-old Colorado work-at-home woman. "I kept telling myself that I was an athletic person underneath it all and that there were all these fun things I wanted to do." Cathy eventually lost another 70 pounds and has kept it all off for eight years. Like Cathy, thousands of people have come up against plateaus and been victorious. You can too! As important as a positive attitude is, you need specific and careful evaluation as well. "Once you see what the problems are, you can get back on track," says Pamela Walker, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist at the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas. "It shifts the focus from 'something is wrong with me' to problem solving." The first thing you want to take a look at is what you've been eating and doing: Have your portions expanded as your waistline has shrunk? "Many people who experience success start getting overconfident and complacent," Dr. Walker says. "Portions start creeping up, and sweets are slowly added again." Has your exercise routine taken a backseat to less strenuous activity? Exercise is always one of the first things to go. Walks get shorter or get skipped. Careful examination of eating and exercise logs can pinpoint areas where your guard may be down. Skipping your evening workout in favor of drinks with friends or indulging your sweet tooth more frequently? No time to pack a healthy lunch, so you're resorting to the vending machines? "It makes you accountable to yourself, and frequently you're shocked to see that you did start eating more and exercising less," Dr. Walker says. Get Calories Under Control No matter how you got on the plateau, the answer to blasting off it is to shake things up. You need to start burning more calories than you're taking in. But don't despair. That's not as hard as it sounds. Here's how to get going: 1. Measure your portions. Arm yourself with measuring devices like scales or cups, so you don't have to rely on your eyes (or your stomach), says Nonas. Once you're familiar with what your portion sizes should be, you need only measure from time to time to make sure you're still on track. Keep portions reasonable. (But don't put limits on plain veggies -- raw or cooked. And try for three to five servings of fruit a day.) 2. Shortcut portion control. Stock up on prepackaged low-fat meals. Food labels make it easy to know exactly what you're getting -- and you save yourself the job of measuring portions. 3. Try a meal substitute. Liquid meals can be helpful, especially when you're on the run. This shouldn't become a long-term strategy, but it can help break a plateau. 4. Fill up on whole foods. Bananas, carrots, and air-popped popcorn pack more fiber and fewer calories than reduced-fat cakes or cookies. Result: You feel full on less food. 5. Postpone dinner. Eating half an hour or even an hour later than usual may be just what you need to take the edge off late-night munchies. 6. Drink up. "Put a liter of water on your desk, and make sure you drink it by the end of the day," says Nonas. Filling up on water during the day can help make portion control easier at meals. 7. Limit mealtimes. So you stuck to your portion, but then you ate your kids' leftovers, and before you knew it, you were noshing ad infinitum. "It's important to do things that signal the end of the meal, like brushing your teeth," says Nonas. "Or set a timer when you sit down to dinner, and when it goes off, you're out of the kitchen or dining room." Burn More Calories 1. Add a minute. "Gradually extend the length of your workouts," says J.P. Slovak, fitness director at the Cooper Fitness Center in Dallas. A few extra minutes here and there can go along way toward producing real results. 2. Lift some weights. To combat the decrease in metabolism that often comes with weight loss, increase your muscle mass. Muscles burn more calories than fat, even when you're sleeping. And they take up less space, so you look slimmer. 3. Try something new. You're not the only one who gets bored on the stationary bike -- your muscles do too. If you always work the same muscles in the same way, they become very efficient and then won't burn as many calories as when you first started doing the activity, explains Tedd Mitchell, M.D., medical director at the Cooper Wellness Program in Dallas. If you want to shake up your metabolism, work your muscles in new ways by cross-training. If you're walking, try swimming. If you're running, try boxing. No one activity should ever get to be too easy. 4. Add some intervals. Invigorate your routine with short blasts of very intense exercise. "Try not to mosey along at the same pace," says Dr. Mitchell. "Sprint for an interval if you're running. Pedal really fast on the bike if you're cycling." Intervals not only make working out more exciting and challenging, they help burn extra calories. 5. Go the long way. "You don't need to have gym clothes on to get exercise," says Kyle McInnis, Ph.D., a professor in the department of human performance and fitness at the University of Massachusetts in Boston. Use the second-floor bathroom or the copier down the hall. "Accumulating physical activity throughout the day, such as walking more and taking the stairs, adds up," he says. A Veteran's Advice "The important thing is to realize how far you've come and to remind yourself of your goals," says weight-loss success Cathy Upchurch. And that's exactly what Cathy did. She celebrated her victories, didn't dwell on what the scale said, and reevaluated her exercise regime. When she added biking to her daily 1-hour walk and water walking in the pool, the weight started to come off. Today Cathy climbs mountains, mountain bikes, and even snowboards. She's every inch the athlete she always wanted to be. Is it really a plateau -- or your ideal weight? If you're still 70 pounds more than what most weight tables recommend for your height, chances are you're just on a plateau. If you're merely 10 pounds more, then it might be time to accept your weight. In between? That's a gray area. Ideal weight varies among individuals. But the term has become a statistical figure generated by insurance people who are telling you what to weight to live the longest based on averages. "That's something very different," says David Levitsky, Ph.D., professor of nutrition and psychology at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. So if you're in that gray area, here are some things to consider when deciding if you should lose more weight: Are you weight training? Muscle weighs more than fat but looks a heck of a lot better. Where's the weight? If those stubborn pounds are around your middle, they could be increasing your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and even some types of cancer. Waist measurements greater than 39 inches for men and premenopausal women younger than 40, greater than 35 inches for men and women 40 or older, and greater than 33 inches for postmenopausal women pose greater health risks. Do you have any signs of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or high blood glucose? These may be the first clues that your weight is affecting your health. Is it realistic to eat any less or exercise any more? "You can't diet forever," Dr. Levitsky says. "It's better to choose a lifestyle that encourages healthy weight -- in which exercise and healthy eating are a regular part of the program -- than to obsess over a few pounds. Balancing Act The slimmer you get, the less effective your current weight-loss plan will be. Here's why: If you were 190 pounds and sedentary when you started, you burned 2,280 calories a day to maintain that weight. (Men burn slightly more.) If you ate 2,280 calories and burned 344 calories in a 1-hour walk, you burned 344 calories more than your body needed to maintain that weight -- so you lost weight. Say you reach 160 pounds. Now, you need only 1,920 calories to stay at your current weight. But you're still eating 2,280 calories and going for a 1-hour walk. Since you're lighter, your walk burns 292 calories. Now you're eating more -- 68 calories -- than you're burning. Keep it up, and the scale will start moving in the wrong direction. Here's how it adds up: If you weigh 190 and:  You eat: +2,280 calories You burn*: -2,280 calories You exercise: - 344 calories Result: -344 calories a day and weight loss If you weigh 160 and: You eat: +2,280 calories You burn*: -1,920 calories You exercise: - 292 calories Result: +68 calories a day This means a plateau, even though your eating and exercising habits haven't changed. Over time, you'll regain some weight unless you shift the balance. *to maintain your current weight if you're sedentary Athlete/Coach Resources... Do you care about your BRAIN?

How to Make Exercise Automatic - Part 1 of 2

Exercise becomes automatic when there is a executable plan. A plan that considers short-term, long-term, and lifetime goals. -Nate

(Prevention,)  - Part 1.

Truth is, people who stay faithful to their exercise plans don't actually have willpower. They don't need it. What they have is a habit. A routine. Exercise for them is like brushing their teeth. They don't spend a single brain cell making decisions about it. They just get up and do it.

And they feel great about it.

"It's been said that if you could put the benefits of exercise in a pill, it would be the single most prescribed medication in the world," says Kerry Courneya, Ph.D., assistant professor at the University of Calgary, Alberta, and author of numerous studies on what makes people stick to an exercise routine. No small part of those benefits is the effect of exercise on weight loss. Studies show that when people have lost weight and acquired an exercise habit, they're more likely to stay trim than are people who try to keep the pounds off through dietary changes alone.

Turning an exercise routine -- and all its benefits -- into a permanent resident in your life is a matter of housecleaning your priorities, setting up a schedule and toning up your motivation (until you're hooked, that is). Here's the five step plan:

Step one: Make exercise a priority

Take a look at the agenda that's behind tomorrow's agenda. That is, take a look at the priorities that are driving your calendar. Put exercise on that priority list. High on that list. Next to working and bill paying and watching Dan Rather. "If exercise is my third priority and it's your fifteenth, you're not going to find the time to exercise, and I am," says Dr. Courneya.

Where people run into trouble is in making something like "getting fit" a priority but then not making the tasks required to get there a priority, too. "I often say if you want to get to the top of the stairs, you must negotiate the steps," says time-management consultant Virginia Bass, who teaches people to organize their lives through Day Timers, Inc. "If you continue to put a lower priority on the task or activities required to reach your goal (exercising in the evenings, for instance) than on the goal itself (improving health, for example), then you're not going to make it."

Step two: Find the time

Waiting for exercise to fit into your life "when I have the time" is like waiting to win the lottery when you haven't bought a ticket. You have to find the time. Try this: For about a week, write down where you've spent your time, as if minutes are checks that you're entering in your checkbook. This gives you a picture of how you're spending your time, says Virginia Bass.

Chances are, there are points that can be nipped and tucked to free a bit of time every day. Maybe you're on the telephone with a neighbor when you could both be walking around the neighborhood together. Maybe your CNN addiction could be sated from the seat of a stationary bike.

If reshuffling this time inventory still hasn't yielded a full 30 minutes for exercise, wipe your schedule clean, reach for your priority list and highlight those activities of highest importance (including exercise) on your daily calendar. Then let the rest of your life flow around those immovable time commitments.

Part 2 will run next week.

Does It Matter When I Exercise?

Its more so how your energy levels operate at certain times of the day as opposed to what the clock says. -Nate

(MSNBC) It's true that studies have suggested the body functions more efficiently at different times of the day. Some reports, for instance, have shown that the body's processes are slowest in the morning. Others have found that in the afternoon, strength and aerobic capacity are greatest, suggesting that it might be best to exercise at this time.

However, there are two basic principles to exercise that are even more important: If you're both consistent and patient with your training, you'll reap the benefits, says Joel Friel, author of: The Cyclist's Training Bible, and:The Triathlete's Training Bible.

Friel, an exercise science expert, points out that studies done in the past several years have shown that important aspects of a person's workout are not affected by time of day, such as how long you can go before exhaustion. Perceived effort remains the same throughout the day, too, meaning a workout doesn't feel harder in the evening than it would in the morning.

Other factors play a part as well. Pollution is heavier in the afternoon, which may affect your breathing. So running, cycling and other outdoor activities done in the early morning or after the evening rush hour may be better. The hot afternoon sun may also be a factor that makes early morning or evening exercise a better choice.

The bottom line, says Friel, is that it's most important to find what time of day works best for you and to commit to a fitness routine. So if exercising at night works best because you work full-time, stick with it.

(Embarrassing) her pants fell off

Recently I did a little fat loss experiment with a few of my clients and something REALLY EMBARISSING happened to one of them. 

She was using both hands to carry a hot casserole dish to her car when she felt her jeans begin to slip off. 

Since both of her hands were holding the heavy casserole dish, all she could do was hope to make it to her car before her pants fell off. 

Whelp, she DIDN'T make it and had to waddle to her car the last five feet with her pants around her ankles before she could set the hot dish down and pull them back up. 

Luckily, no one saw. 

But it WASN'T HER FAULT. 

She was a "victim" of the rapid fat loss workout I recently developed. 

It's called the "16 Day Sexy Slim down." 

The way it works is you do 3-5 high intensity boot camp style workouts and follow some very LOOSE but EFFECTIVE eating guidelines for 16 days. 

You can expect to lose 8-12 LBS and up to two pants sizes. 

The 16 Day Sexy Slim Down starts next Monday Monday October 11, 2014 Program goes live online

Just click here and I'll get you all dialed in. 

Oh, and the best part is that Its free for the 16 day period! 

Workout on your time and schedule. At your favorite gym, fitness center, at home, or your favorite workout space. 

Fair warning though, you can expect to lose up to two pants sizes so don't get caught carrying a hot casserole dish - loose pants have been known to fall off :)
