Effective cardiovascular and strength training are crucial factors in many fitness related goals including athletic goals, weigh/fat loss and overall good health.
As I’ve mentioned in previous articles, overall fitness requires you to combine cardio and strengthening exercises with a well-balanced diet. (To see why, click here.)

Are you one of those people who catch a few short hours of sleep each night and spend 18 to 20 hours each day running from here to there with your job, business, family, community work and so forth? If you are, you may be doing more damage to your physical and emotional well-being than what you may realize.
Over the past few decades, sleep researchers across the country have conducted studies which seem to indicate that curtailing sleep and getting poor-quality sleep are implicated in many diseases that affect the entire body, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, cancer and impaired immune function. One of the most startling observations has come from Dr. Eve Van Cauter* and her University of Chicago colleagues. Over the course of four studies, they showed that people who don’t sleep enough, night after night, unwittingly trigger a hormonal storm that causes their appetites to rise.

Hello Everyone.
I just sent some tips to those of you who have subscribed to my email list that I decided to share with others this one time as well.
You know, we all experience interruptions in our exercise and workout schedule every now and then. Holidays, weddings, vacations, injury and illness can all force us to put aside our exercise program for a while.
So how can you keep exercise a priority when your schedule changes? What’s considered too little exercise to maintain your
fitness? How long can you stay on a modified exercise plan without feeling those jeans getting tight around the midsection or hips?

Hello Everyone.
I mentioned this in a previous article but I believe it bears repeating: The numbers on your scale do not indicate whether you are fit 
or fat. They only tell you how much you weigh. Far more significant than your total body weight is the composition of your body tissue. (Click here for healthy body fat percents.)

Hello everyone. I hope all is well with your weight – fat loss plan.
How’s your diet working? Are you losing weight? Yes you say? You reached your weight loss goal? Awesome! Got that flat belly you’re 
been wishing for? Oh, still battling the bulge ah? You’ve lost 20 pounds but you still can’t get those new jeans to fasten around your waist?
Hello. This is Carolyn Small.
Have you ever loss weight, say 5, 10, 15 pounds or more and still not look good in that new outfit you bought? I know I have. What I’ve learned is that there is a difference between weight loss and fat loss. Some people think like I once did that if they lose weight they will also lose the fat that they want. That’s not necessarily the case. Depending on your particular situation, you may need to lose weight, or fat, or both to reach your fitness goals. By now you may be asking yourself, “What’s the difference” and “Which one do I need to lose?” Well, I’m here to help. Read on.

We all want results. Whether it is more muscle, less fat, or both. We want results. You can lift all the weights you want and grind out session after session of interval training but if you aren’t paying attention to what you are eating then all this effort is a waste. The #1 most important part of any fat loss or muscle growth program is nutrition.

Most people think they have a slow one. We all wish ours was a lot faster. The slimming industry has made a fortune selling pills that supposedly boost it… Even my local curry house is claiming that eating spicy food will make it sky rocket!
