Cardio: Probably the most cherished side effect of cardiovascular training is losing those unwanted pounds! Since your body's fat storage is based on the equation of energy in versus energy out (calories in versus calories burned), the more energy/calories used means the less fat you will have store...
Many individuals believe that the only way to lose weight is to do cardiovascular (aerobic exercise). So they jog or take aerobics classes five times a week. Eventually, though, they notice that while their bodies are a little smaller, there are still a lot of flabby and jiggle bits. Sound famili...
Just took my second yoga class ever. I felt slightly awkward, but I think it might just help me move my overall fitness that slight edge upward, particularly in terms of flexibility but also in strength.
I felt great afterward, a little bit tired, but great>

Just finished the Slight Edge,(great read by the way) and saw the statics on obesity and was blown away. I agree that everyone thinks that we can eat whatever we want and stay healthy, not the case.

I used the satiety index http://www.healthy-weight-loss-made-easy.com/satiety-index-list.html I pretty much ate all apples, oranges, baked potatoes, and brown spaghetti. sometimes I ate beef and vegan protein powder for more protein. Took vitamins every now and then to make sure I was getting all the nutrients I needed. I did splurge sometimes but not often. So if you biggest problem with weight loss is the hunger from a low calorie diet, maybe this will work for you as well! God bless! less

Hello everyone,
My name is William and I recently joined the communitty here. Since this is the health section I wanted to share my story. Over a year ago I was at 240 pounds; not eating healthy and just felt miserable half the time due to a lack of energy. Then I took on the challenge of P90X, it was a brave choice considering how out of shape I was, but I needed a challenge or I would get bored. So I got the dvds; followed the food plan and lost 36 pounds in 2 months. I finished the program at 200 even after the 90 days were up. I tell this story because this was not easy to do, I struggled everyday with the food/workload, I even wanted to quit a few times. I gutted it out and found a real passion for the fitness I had not known before. I then became a indepedent coach for team beachbody so I could help other people experience the journey I went through and help them reach their goals. If you are in the same spot I was and would like ... ... moreHello everyone,

I have joined a 90-day health challenge myself, and for three weeks of keeping my regular eating habits of pizza, burgers, and fried foods, I have still managed to lose 5 LBS in the last three weeks.
The key to eating right is to watch your sugar, salt and fat intake.
It is important to remember that "The Just 10 Challenge" is about making a small commitment with a huge payoff. Losing just 10 pounds can lower your blood pressure, reduce your risk for a stroke, ward off dementia, lower your risk for uterine and breast cancer, and lower your cholesterol up to 10%. Let's help change the health of America, 10 pounds at a time! less

I see some people posting on P90X - Crossfit is similar in concept in that the workouts are compact and high-intensity, and they keep mixing it up. P90X says "muscle confusion," and Crossfit says "never sore the same place twice." Check them out at crossfit.com.

My favorite right now is a Mango Lasse - mango, vanilla or plain yogurt, ice, a pinch or cardamom and a bit of peppermint. I don't know exactly what all the nutritional properties of mango are, but it sure tastes good!

I'm hoping to accomplish another one this Labor Day - finish a marathon. It's my first, and my goal here is to finish the whole thing without walking - wish me luck!
