Lose Weight With These 17 Hot Tips By Carolyn Hansen

Some $30 billion dollars is spent on weight loss each year as people desperately search and mistakenly believe 'the answer' to looking and feeling good is losing weight. This may be a popular belief but it is totally false as the majority of the big weight loss spenders are losing their money, not their weight.

The majority of people who try to lose weight use very unhealthy methods that have devastating effects on the metabolism (the body's engine). In fact, 98% of those people who do manage to lose some weight soon gain it back and end up with a damaged metabolism which makes future weight loss efforts near impossible.

There is a simple concept to lose weight and look good. It happens when you do the right thing and take responsibility for your health and improve it first and foremost. You cannot lose weight to improve your health - you must improve your health and have a healthy metabolism in order to lose weight.

Don't keep doing what you are doing if it is not working.

Here are 17 hot tips that will work better than anything you can purchase:

1. Have a strength training exercise program firmly in place.

2. Perform 1-2 interval training sessions each week.

3. Hire a fitness professional to teach you how to exercise intensely enough to really make a difference to your metabolism.

4. Do not do any long, slow, steady state activity (walking, jogging, cycling etc). These are recreational activities that are fine as part of an active lifestyle but can never replace a proper exercise program

5. Separate interval training and strength training days.

6. Eat 5-7 times each day.

7. Have at least 20 grams of protein at each meal.

8. Make up the balance of your meals with lots of cooked and raw vegetables.

9. Eat whole natural unprocessed foods.

10. Space your small meals out every 2-3 hours throughout the day.

11. Eat within an hour of waking.

12. Plan your meals, shop and prepare them in advance and take them with you wherever you go so you are not tempted to eat something that will not help you reach your goals.

13. Plan your workouts in advance and schedule them on your planner or calendar.

14. Treat these workout times as important appointments and keep your promises to

15. List 10-20 benefits that you will gain from becoming stronger, fitter and slimmer and make them your health/fitness/weight loss goals. These goals will then become much more personal and meaningful.

16. Go over these benefits as often as you need to. This may be daily, weekly or monthly.

17. You can't manage your health until you can manage your self which involves managing your time, your energy, your workouts, and your eating plan.

Get in Shape Fast: 2 Best Strength Exercises For Women! By Brandon Richey

The best 2 strength exercises for women have to involve the burpee and the kettlebell swing. This strength workout routine is sure to get your body into shape faster than any coupled pair of exercises you will ever try. Both exercises include whole body movements and involve both push and pull related elements that add up to one mean total body combination!

1. The Kettlebell Swing: By now you may be familiar with the kettlebell and know that this ancient strength and conditioning device has been around for over three centuries. Kettlebell training has forged some of the greatest bodies in the world. The base lift of the kettlebell is known as the double arm swing. This single lift incorporates hundreds of your muscles and involves you swinging the bell like a pendulum from between your legs up to chest level.

To execute the swing you have got to initiate a technique known as the hip snap. The hip snap is performed by you constantly and fluently flexing and extending at both your hips and knees. This allows you to create a lot of momentum in order to swing the kettlebell back and forth. This one exercise is a pulling type movement that hits all the major muscle groups ranging from your hamstrings, glutes, hips, abs, back, shoulders, and arms! There is no muscle group left untouched by this dynamic exercise.

2. The Burpee: The burpee is a body weight exercise that involves a lot of movement and requires you to utilize and control every muscle in your body to pull it off. To execute a burpee stand with your feet about shoulder width distance apart in length. Next, crouch down and place your hands on the ground in front of you. From here kick your feet back behind you bringing you into an upright push up position.

Once here execute a normal push up and kick your feet back up underneath your body and stand up. All of these movements combined equate to a single repetition. There is a lot of movement here and this exercise is great for developing whole body strength in women.

If you are looking for a strength toning exercise then you have found 2 right here in this article. Remember that anyone can train hard, but only the best train smart! Give it a try.

Have a Big Stomach? By Jennifer Jolan

If you have a big stomach, I'm going to help you reduce the size of it with a couple of tips in this article. You can safely lose weight and slim down without having to do long workouts, no drastic dieting, and without even having to take any diet pill whatsoever. Look, just take 2 minutes to read this article so that you can solve this big belly problem once and for all.

Big Stomach Reducers...

1. Incline walking - Maybe you walk, maybe you don't. If you do, you probably realize by now that it's not going to take off the weight really fast. Unless, you walk on an incline or a hill. Then you'll lose weight really fast. You see, there's a big difference from the average run-of-the-mill walking on a flat surface or flat treadmill as opposed to inclined treadmills and hills.

You body is use to flat surface walking. Your body basically "yawns" at that stuff. Regardless, what I want you to do to accelerate your weight loss is to talk on a treadmill that you can incline to around 15 degrees. Walk on it for at least 20 minutes a day, 4 days a week. That's it.

2. Add 2 apples and 1 can of black beans to your daily diet - I don't care what you eat. I'm not going to try and change you either. But I do want you to do just these 2 things. Add 2 apples as snacks to your diet and also add in 1 can of black beans to a meal or split it among 2 meals. That's it. Why does this help with getting rid of your big belly? Simple, the fibers clear out your digestive tract and improve your digestion.

For a lot of people, an inefficient digestive tract is holding back their weight loss progress. By adding about 35 grams of fiber to your daily diet (10 grams from 2 apples and 25 grams from 1 can of black beans), you supercharge your weight loss.

So if you have a big stomach, this is an easy way to get rid of it.
