Women's Running Articles

Hi there, Just opened the mail and found two magazines...Women's Running April issue with my article called "A Decade of Diet Fads" which is geared for runners, but applies to anyone who's trying to stay healthy and active. Then I got a one time only issue called "Beginner's Guide to Running" which has my article called "Short and Sweet" on interval training. A great morning! I would love to help you get healthy too; with some guidance for better nutrition choices and a healthy activity routine, you can get back in better shape in a matter of weeks. Consultations are FREE! Come and see what you are missing; the healthy person that you want to be and CAN be. www.perfectfit.ws

Stay Fit at Work

Staying fit at work can be tough, especially if you have a desk job. Here are some easy tips to stay as active as you can while sitting at your desk: Get up- get up off your chair every 10-15 minutes and do 10 squats, alternate with 10 lunges Move your feet- sitting in your chair, move your feet up and down off the floor Squeeze your abs- staying in  your chair, pull your belly button to your spine and hold for 10 seconds. Do this on the hour, every hour for hard abs! Squeeze your butt- staying in  your chair, squeeze your butt muscles as hard as you can and hold for 10 seconds. Do this on the half hour every half hour. Make jokes- laughing is a great ab workout At lunch, go for a walk Get water frequently Getting to the gym before or after work will get you in shape even faster, but every bit counts!

Exercise or Diet?

Exercise to lose weight, or diet to lose weight? That is a very frequently asked question. So what's the right answer? Well, both are important. You can exercise every day and maintain your weight with the same diet, or you can eat nutritiously and have a lower volume of food and higher volume of exercise which will equal weight loss. You can exercise a lot and eat too much, and gain weight too! It's all about math. Calories have to be in a deficit to lose weight. Check out this study from Stanford University on what do do first; diet or exercise. Have a great day!
