A Few Ways to Exercise While Watching TV
A great way to ensure you actually use that treadmill is to "book yourself in" for treadmill time when your favorite TV show is on. How easy is this? All you have to do is commit to whenever a particular one hour TV show is on. The only rule is that you MUST be on the treadmill for the entire show. If you are absorbed in your TV show you will barely notice your exercising, and because you don't want to miss the start of your TV show, you will be on time.
If you're a busy person this works ...Read the rest of this entry »

Career's in Entertainment Production
A career as a rock star or television star is unattainable for
most hopeful teens who dream of being in the spotlight. While
many dream of being the next *NSYNC or Backstreet Boys
sensation, this may be a little far-fetched. However, teens
don't have to give up their dream, at least not completely. Few
star-struck teens actually realize how many careers are
available in the entertainment production industry.
Large numbers of people are needed to put on concerts, make film
movies or animate ...Read the rest of this entry »
It's In the Can
A few weeks ago I wrote about a bike ride I'd completed and how
a goal-setting process helped me accomplish something well
beyond what I'd ever done before. One reader replied talking
about setting goals for herself. That she needed to set specific
goals, because she usually just tries to have it all, and she
can't.
I probably could have focused on the message about setting
specific goals. Instead another word jumped out at me in that
email. "Can't."
Did you ever hear a quote to the effect of ...Read the rest of this entry »
Eating Rainbow Foods While Personal Training and Exercising
The latest Australian nutritional promotion states "eat two serves of fruit and five serves of vegetables" a day to get your recommended daily intake of nutrients. But how strict is this? It's a great guideline, but variety is the spice of life. If you love fruit and hate veggies, don't worry if you have five serves of fruit and two serves of veggies, it will pretty much do the job. Both are high in similar vitamins.
A great idea is to eat from the rainbow. This means fruit and veggies with a ...Read the rest of this entry »
Working at Home? Here's 10 Ways to Be More Productiv
Ah, working at home... Visions of leisurely days, conference
calls in comfy sweatpants, increased productivity with fewer
interruptions. But the distinctions between work life and home
life soon blur. You really should throw some laundry in the wash
before you write that proposal. You have an hour before a
meeting: Should you balance your books or clean the kitchen? And
remember to call that client back right after you empty the cat
box.
Welcome to the real world of working at home: ...Read the rest of this entry »
How to Exercise Your Wasteline, Stomach and Loose That Gut
If you're a business owner or accountant, thinking in terms of profit and loss is a great strategy for you. You're used to ensuring your turnover is higher than your expenses to ensure you make a profit right? You can apply the same ideas to your weight loss, simply burn off more calories than you consume and you will lose weight.
It's simple math for both of them, but you also need to use common sense. If you have record sales every Monday at work, but terrible sales the rest of the week, ...Read the rest of this entry »
Reclaiming her identity
After giving up my profession to become a wife, a mother of one,
then suddenly seven made life very taxing for me. I soon came
face to face with a challenging question. How did my identity
become so obscure that I lost track of my hopes and dreams?
Believing that I did not have any time left in my hectic
schedule to accomplish my goals, I slowly began to lose
perspective of whom and what I was about. My life became filled
with doctor's appointments, therapy sessions, counseling,

Parents Beware, Karate Nightmare
Parents Beware, Karate Nightmare by Thom Singer
Earlier this year my eight-year-old daughter became involved
with Karate. It has overall been a good experience for her and
she has enjoyed learning the martial arts. We selected the dojo
based on a location close to our home and from the beginning we
had some issues, but we liked one of her teachers... and he did
a great job of relating to the kids and the parents.
As my daughter's involvement grew and we were asked to sign a

Personal Training on Your Birthday?
We've all heard people jokingly say you can't get fat on your Birthday. Great news! It's true! Because your birthday is one day of the year, that's a mere 0.0027% of your year or about 1/3 of a tenth of 1%. If you've been great for 300 or so days of the year (not 365 since nobody is perfect), you can afford to enjoy binging on your Birthday- you deserve it, just keep it to ONE day.

Personal Training Using Sprinting?
Sprint work can be a great way to add variety (for both mind and body), to your regular walks. Do the same walking routine as always, but add short sprints of about 50m (about every other letter box or some other marker), then slowly walk about 50m. This will get your heart rate up way higher than normal, which will get you even fitter and burn more fat. Plus you will continue to stimulate your body differently, which is an important part of interval training.
Interval Training:
It has been ...Read the rest of this entry »
