- Fit And Firm
Whether you are pregnant or just want to wear the latest fashions, Denise Austin has the workout for you.
Boasting nearly 20 million exercise videos sold, America's #1 fitness expert has two new titles coming to DVD from Lionsgate-"Fit & Firm Pregnancy" and "Hit The Spot Core Complete." - Fit In Fitness While On The Road
Oftentimes, travelers find themselves eating too much and exercising too little. In fact, according to the Travel Industry Association of America, only 40 percent of travelers manage to fit in some exercise while away from home. However, staying fit while on the road isn't as challenging as most people think.
According to travel expert and Travel Channel host Tracy Gallagher, "Many people struggle with keeping up their health routines while on the road. Even though there might not be a lot of time between meetings and entertaining clients, travelers don't have to look further than their hotel for ideas on how to sneak in some activity." - Pilates: Great Exercise Or Great Hype?
Somehow, an exercise originally meant to help wounded soldiers caught on with Jennifer Aniston, then Oprah and then just about everybody else in America. But is Pilates really right for everyone? Here's a closer look:
What Is Pilates? - Not Just Talking The Talk-walking The Walk
If you're tired of hearing people talk about the obesity epidemic but not doing anything about it, there's good news.
People around the country are fighting obesity by working alongside Prevention Research Centers (PRCs), academic centers that study chronic diseases and are funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. - Many Find Customized Workouts Help Them Achieve Fitness Goals
If losing weight and getting fit has become an important subject to you, these fitness facts may be just the help you need to get started.
The first thing to remember is that moving is good for your body, and you don't need a gym or a personal trainer to get you started. You can simply make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Take your dog for a brisk walk; the next time you have to go to the post office, try leaving the car at home and ride a bike instead. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think "move" in small increments of time. Working out doesn't have to be an exhausting two hours at the gym with the added stress of actually getting there and back. In order to make your workout plan stick, your exercise routine has to be flexible and easy to maintain. - How To Beat Those "motivation Zappers" That Keep You From Working Out
If you're like most women who exercise, one of your biggest motivation zappers is finding time to work out. In fact, a Self magazine survey cited "lack of time" as the No. 1 reason women bow out of exercising.
How can you find more time to exercise? Consider lowering your goal. According to Meaghan Buchan, Self's fitness director, too many women make exercise an all-or-nothing proposition. "Shoot for just 10 minutes of exercise rather than a whole hour if you're short on time," she says. "The key is to do something, rather than nothing." - The A-list Workout
Good news for anyone interested in knowing how the top celebrity trainers can give them a hot Hollywood body. Well, get ready for the red carpet.
In her new book "The A-List Workout" (McGraw-Hill), Fitness magazine's Alyssa Shaffer gives "regular folks" who simply want to shed a few extra pounds, develop endurance or feel better about themselves the same exercise plans and tips that superstars pay top dollar to get. - A Healthy Partnership
A new partnership may help strengthen people's resolve to exercise and help them work out new ways to stay in shape.
The partnership will include a series of articles from Olympic Gold Medal skater Peggy Fleming called "Skating To Better Health With Peggy Fleming." Each article will promote a healthy, fit and balanced lifestyle and highlight tips, advice and trends meant to encourage people to get up and get in shape. - Struggling To Stay Fit? Your Best Friend Can Help
The motivation to get fit may be right at your feet--literally. Similar to a human "workout buddy," pets can provide the necessary push for you to go out and get moving, improving your health and that of your four-legged friend.
Just as the obesity rate of people has risen, the Food and Drug Administration says that about 20 to 30 percent of dogs in the United States are overweight and 5 percent are obese. - The Medicinal Magic Of Exercise: Let It Cast Its Spell On Your Life
Want to feel better? Stay healthier? Live longer? Then exercise.
For years, health experts have known that exercise lowers the risk of many chronic diseases, boosts confidence and self-esteem, and improves well-being and quality of life. What's more, research shows that the health benefits of exercise can be achieved by just about everyone, regardless of age or physical ability. - Getting In Shape For A Healthy Life
Whether it's walking, running, tennis, cycling or swimming, exercising outdoors provides us with a fun, versatile way to burn calories.
As a coach and personal trainer, I encourage my clients to reach the full potential of their workouts by being motivated and committed for the long term throughout the year. It takes more than jogging a few miles once a week or participating in the weekly company softball game.
