With the kids going back to school, it is a great time to get back into the swing of your workout routine that often goes astray during the summer. Summer can be a busy time with kids out of school, vacations, and well just so much to do! But if you don’t get into the exercise habit before the holidays…well you know what can happen there so do I really need to say more?

Plan Ahead to Stick to that Exercise Routine

It’s important that you are prepared for your workouts. If not you’ll find it’s really easy to end up skipping them. The first step is to take a look at your schedule and see where you can squeeze those workouts into your day. By choosing a time to workout, you’ll be more likely to stick to your workout program. And remember even a 30 minute workout is better than none! [Read more...]

Want to know a secret? Well, you can actually burn extra calories every day without even breaking a sweat. It’s true, however, you won’t have the same calorie burn as getting in a good workout or eating a super clean diet, but when it comes to weight loss every little bit counts even the small things.

There are lots of little changes you can make to your daily routine to help drop pounds quicker and get a slim body. Really! Here are 10 of those ways:

1. Wear a pedometer. Having to work toward a certain number of steps by the end of the day is a great way to be more active. I’ve had clients who come near to the end of the day and haven’t reached their goal so they end up doing laps around the house. True story!  A good goal is 10,000 steps per day, so gradually start working up to that and notice how quickly you slim down.

2. Eat breakfast. Getting up and eating a good meal gets your metabolism going so that your body starts burning fat, rather than storing it because you are starving and haven’t eaten in so long. But be sure to start with a healthy breakfast. One of my favorites is oatmeal with berries and scrambled eggs. [Read more...]

I often get emails asking me how to lose 10 pounds in a week. Chances are you have a beach vacation, high school reunion, or hot date coming up next week and you want to look mega foxy.

First, let me ask you, why the heck did you wait so long?!

Actually, I’m surprised that people still even consider this to be an option! I blame it on all that confusing advertising from fat burner and diet companies that want to lead people to believe that this kind of quick weight loss can be done, and in a healthy way!

But sorry, I’m here to tell you that losing 10 pounds in a week is just not realistic or healthy, and even if you did lose 10 lbs in a week it’s not going to be purely from fat. And if you did lose 10 lbs in a week chances are you lost some muscle mass and now have slowed down your metabolism. What a nightmare!

So scratch the idea of finding out how to lose 10 pounds in a week and instead focus on maximizing the time you have to look as good as you can by the end of the week! Don’t give up hope yet because there are some changes you can make to look leaner and even lose 1-2 pounds of fat.

But before I give you the hot juicy details, let’s look at the reality of losing 10 pounds in a week a little more closely.
