I am very happy that we are starting to get spring weather lately!

It is the time of year for getting rid of old household items and cleaning areas out that have been left over the winter!

Spring time is an awesome time to also get out more and do some exercise, such as going for a walk with the family or going for a jog with a friend!

Try new ways to get fit also so you don't get bored with your routine!

If you always do the same activity for the same period of time, not only will it be boring but also the caloric output will be less each time you do it, therefore making the activity burn very little calories over time as your body adapts to the exercise!

Challenge yourself and push yourself, just don't overdo it in the first 2 weeks or you won't want to exercise again!

*Remember to get your submissions in for the lose weight in 2008 contest, $4000 worth of fitness instruction, nutritional advice and tracking, motivational support and much more!!!*

Healthy Weight Loss Recipe and Tips!

Scientists have discovered a fat-burning enzyme in the body that’s triggered by simply getting off the couch.

Stand up to lose weight and sit down to fatten up.

“Spend less time in the chair, get up and move around as much as you can throughout the day,” said Fabio Comana, a University of California-San Diego professor and a physiologist with the American Council on Exercise..

“When you’re up walking around, standing, puttering around or exercising, that enzyme gets activated,” Comana said.
Sitting down shuts off that fat-burning enzyme. “That enzyme really responds to physical activity,” Comana said.

You don’t have to exercise to make it work. University of Missouri researchers found daily puttering around will drop the pounds.

However to make the most of this fat-burning, you need to exercise and eat a health diet!

Weight loss doesn't happen overnight but it does happen! Give yourself TIME and set REALISTIC goals!


“If I can get a few more calories burned every few minutes, you translate that over a 12-, 14-, 16-hour day, it can make a difference of as little a 100 calories a day,” Comana said. “That may not seem like much in one day, but it’s a pound a month and 12 pounds a year.”

A simple way to stand up more often at work is instead of calling or e-mailing a co-worker, walk over to deliver your message in person.

At home, getting up and doing something every time there’s a commercial on TV.

The exception, of course, would be standing up and scanning the inside of the fridge too often.
