4 facts about FAT!

By: Joe Wilkes

When we talk about losing weight, we're really talking about losing fat, getting rid of the spare tire, turning the keg into a six-pack. It's about more than getting ready for swimsuit season or squeezing back into your "skinny" jeans, though. More importantly, it's about having a healthy amount of body fat so we don't put ourselves at risk for myriad diseases. After all, our bodies need some fat. Fat is responsible for regulating our body temperature. It insulates our vital organs. It stores energy our bodies draw on to function. Not to mention everyone wants a few strategically placed curves and you can't get them with just bone and muscle. So what exactly is a healthy amount of body fat?

25 fitness secrets from very fit people

By: Chalene Johnson

I found this on the Web. Originally it was 50 points. I cut it down to 25 and Turbofied it a bit. Read these tips, then print and post them so you have them as a daily reminder.

1. Keep a water bottle with you at all times and drink from it often. Water *is* the drink of choice.
2. Look at exercise as a pleasure and privilege, not a burden or chore. Think positively about the changes regular exercise will produce. Rather than obsessing about your next meal, get excited about your next workout!
3. Think twice before deciding what to eat and why, making sure that it is healthy and will provide you good nutrition, fill you up, and give you long-term energy.
4. Measure intake based on activity, not how you "feel." Need should mandate intake, not mood, emotion, or your present company.
5. Eat well-balanced meals and remember that excessive calories, even if they are fat-free and high protein will turn to excess weight! No matter what the latest fad diet, extra calories equals extra weight!
6. Limit caffeine and exposure to even secondhand smoke.
7. Focus on short-term fitness goals with an emphasis on completing daily exercise.
8. Keep a daily log of what you're actually eating. This includes grabbing a handful of chips here, the crust of your kid's sandwich, and ALL your snacking.
9. Enjoy an occasional (once a week) "unhealthy" treat, but never an "unhealthy" week or unhealthy vacation.
10. Savor the feeling of accomplishment you have after completing an intense workout. Remember that feeling and use it to motivate you when you don't feel like exercising.

Let the music "move" you.

When you are working out , it is imperative that you have excellent music that you are moving too. The music should be motivating and fast paced . You should also have songs that will allow for weight lifting times and cool down. 


If you are wanting to burn 500 to 700 calories per workout you should have intense music that will make you feel invincible and move! TurboJam is a perfect example of this. The only preparation you need for this is DVD player, water, towel and tons of energy!
Remember music is a very important factor when working out so don;t forget the music.

Confused about how to buy"healthy" foods?

By: Kathy Smith

Food shopping. It's something we have to do—even people who don't consider themselves cooks and prefer to dine out. When you're trying to control your weight, going to the market can be intimidating and a bit baffling. That bright, abundant space suddenly becomes a place full of forbidden goodies and unhealthy choices. No need to be nervous. Follow my strategy for painless shopping and you'll see—food shopping can actually be easy, healthy, and fun!

The first step to enjoyable and effective shopping should be done at home. Decide what you need before you shop. While making your shopping list, think about your upcoming week and how much food you'll need to buy. Plan healthy meals and snacks in the amounts that your diet guidelines require. Be realistic as you add items to your list—really look at how many meals are on your plan per day. And remember, if you have good food in your kitchen, that's what you'll eat.

Can regular sleep pattern help you lose weight?

Tony Horton

One of the best things you can do for yourself is to make sure you get plenty of sleep each night. A minimum of 7 hours of shuteye makes a big difference to your brain and your heart. A lack of sleep makes you more fatigued and less mentally acute, which puts you at a greater risk for poor decision making and accidents.

A few things that can help you get those zzzzz's:

1. Get on a schedule. Try to go to bed and rise about the same time each day. Your body functions best when it’s on a regular sleeping routine, just like a baby. On the weekends, try to get up within an hour of your regular “school day” schedule to keep you on track.
2. Eat foods that contain melatonin. Foods like sweet corn, rice, and oats or complex carbohydrates with serotonin (like veggies, whole-grain bread, or pasta) in the evenings. Avoid anything with caffeine after dinner and save your workouts for earlier in the day. High activity and/or eating within 3 hours of your bedtime can keep you from falling asleep.
3. Keep it cool. The ideal environment for sleep is a cool, dark room. If you’re tossing and turning, try removing a layer of clothing or turn down the thermostat.
4. Keep your bedroom a sanctuary. Limit your bedroom activities to sleep and sex. If you don’t associate your bedroom with other stimuli like work, TV, or the computer, it’ll be easier to crash out once you snuggle in.

How to fight the hunger pains before bedtime

Steve Edwards

Here at Beachbody, we're always drilling the "no eating for 3 hours before bedtime" rule into your head and, sure enough, it's important not to go to bed with undigested food in your stomach, especially carbohydrates and fat. So what about those nights when you're so hungry that if you don't eat, you know it will affect your sleep?

The answer is a protein shake. Usually, truly feeling hungry is a sign indicating a lot of muscle breakdown. When you have muscle breakdown you need protein, especially at night, which is when your muscles do most of their recovering. So if you are famished, a small protein shake with no added ingredients, like fruit or milk, will not only allow you to sleep but speed up your recovery process as well.

Nutrition Tip

An easy way to tick off those 5 to 6 servings of fruits and veggies per day is to start planning your meals around them instead of a protein source. While there is no denying that we need protein, studies show that most Americans fall drastically short in the fruit and veggie department. And while lack of veggies is not the sole culprit, making the right food choices will reduce your risk of cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, most degenerative diseases, as well as control obesity and digestive problems. Plus, while there are only a handful of protein choices, there's an almost endless array of different and unique fruits and veggies to choose from, which can lead to fun new adventures in eating. Pass the chayote!

Learn the secret to combat sweet tooth

By: Chalene Johnson

Don't deny yourself. Just plan for your sweet treat. Once in a while, have a lower-cal lunch or dinner, and save the meal's calories for your dessert.

Get rid of temptations. If you have no willpower against chocolate cupcakes, but your kids love them, stop buying them. It doesn't make you a bad parent. Find a healthier alternative or something you can easily resist.

Make a deal. If your family thinks they need a very sweet treat every night, try to strike a balance between offering healthy choices and allowing them some "free will." Compromise with low-fat ice cream and fruit, or sometimes just fruit with a dollop of whipped cream.

Try two weeks without sweets. It's amazing how your cravings vanish.

Eat more fruit. A person who gets enough fruit in his diet doesn't have a raging sweet tooth.

How to measure fitness level

BY:Steve Edwards

To measure your fitness, try checking the time it takes your heart rate to return to its resting value after strenuous exercise. After your cool-down, check your heart rate, and again after one minute. Your heart rate should fall by about 12 beats per minute. It should usually reach your normal daily activity rate in one to three minutes, the quicker the better. If it takes longer, you have room to improve. P.S.

Balance is important

By: Kathy Smith
Don't forget to balance work through the opposing muscle groups of your body. If you work the chest, work the upper back too. If you work biceps, work triceps. If you work quads and hip flexors, then hamstrings and glutes should be worked as well. Other examples of opposing muscle groups are the abdominals and the low back muscles, and the outer and inner thigh—make sure you work them all.

Be Real

By:Debbie Siebers
Try not to set unrealistic expectations for yourself. Don't try and seek perfection. Be realistic with your goals and your body type. Remember, it is about living healthy and being the best person you can be. Assess your natural body type, embrace it, and set your goals accordingly. It's much more important to find a way to be happy with yourself than to be ultradriven. You only live once. Make the most out of each day!

How to get the six pack

By : Tony Horton

In the land of last hurrahs, the infamous 6-pack is high on the list. The feeling out there is that if you've got a 6-pack, you've arrived. I have a 6-pack and love handles. What does that say about me? I've arrived at needing to eat my cake/cookies too. Owning a 6-pack (or even an 8-pack) is a result of three key components: diet, cardiovascular exercise, and core/ab work. What most people don't realize is that the core/ab work is last on the list when it comes to how your abs rise to the surface. That's right—last! Once they begin to show, the way you work them will influence their aesthetic appearance.

If you had stayed active and ate well early on in life (and stayed that way), your stomach muscles would be as easy to see as your head. That stuff covering up your abs is fat. Fat that has accumulated from a life of poor diet and inactivity. Your abdominal muscles are buried far beneath the surface. Ninety-eight percent of humans who attempt to bring the 6-pack to the surface with just crunches, ab lounges, and any other silly low-calorie-burning repetitive motion will fail. That fat is unburned fuel. Cardiovascular exercise involving your legs and a diet low in fat, sugar, and sodium is the way of the 6-pack.

Talk to anyone who has had great results resurfacing the 6-pack from doing Power 90, and they'll tell you that eating in the top two tiers of Michi Ladder and three solid cardio days a week (done consistently) had more to do with it than crunches alone. Do your Ab Ripper routines, Cardio, and Sculpt three days a week. Eat the kind of food seven days a week that doesn't add to the unwanted fuel that keeps "The Pack" from rising to the surface

Dance off Pounds

If your exercise routine is starting to get stale, don't give up—go dancing!

As much fun as our fitness programs are, we know that sometimes you need to mix it up a little. Dancing is a great way to add some variety to your routine, while still getting that cardio workout you need. Dancing can burn as many calories as walking, swimming, or riding a bike. One hour of dancing can burn over 300 calories!

Dancing does more than just make you sweat. It can help strengthen your core, maintain bone density, and keeping track of all the moves can even boost your brain power! Plus, as my mother always told me, dancing is the language of love.

How much of a workout your boogying becomes depends on how much you Bring It. So go crazy on the dance floor, whether you're doing a waltz or a square dance. Better yet, try out some of your HipHopAbs moves!

So throw some dancing in with your regular workouts—it'll be a truly guilt-free break. And the next day when you Push Play, you'll have renewed energy and motivation!
