Fit to Hunt

Cellulite often has nothing to do with being overweight as there are many thin women who are not overweight and still have cellulite because of their bad eating habits and exercise absence. To remove cellulite you need to understand what cellulite is. Cellulite is a fatty substance that is found under your connective tissues. As it accumulates it pushes against the connective tissues and makes the skin pucker and ripple. Yikes, gross, is our first and for the most part, only reaction. The best way to start with ridding of the cellulite is to drink a lot of water. At least 10 8oz glasses of water daily. If you are going to start to get rid of cellulite and the toxins stored in it, we need to give your body a way to flush it out. Of course you all know that you need to develop an exercise program that is designed to help remove your body fat content. Exercise is an effective way of reducing the amount of cellulite that you have. Effective exercise programs will nee

I have recently received emails on to how to get rid of bra fat or cellulite. Here are methods that will help strengthen your back muscles which in turn will help pull your shoulders back, so you stand taller and appear leaner. You'll also play sports and perform chores with more ease and be less likely to suffer from back woes. The following exercises target the muscles on your upper back, and around your bra. Do two sets of 10 to 12 repetitions, with a 30 seconds of rest in between, 2 - 3 days a week. Allow a day of rest between workouts. Obviously, if you have some extra weight to lose, you'll have to shed those pounds to see results. But if your problem is just flabby muscle, you'll see visible improvements in 4 - 6 weeks.   Bent-Over Row Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, back straight, and knees slightly bent for support. Hold a dumbbell in each hand. Keeping your back straight, bend 90 degrees from the waist and allow your arms to hang down

A tip to help sculpt and tone yourself a sleek body is to team up and compete with a friend.  I find when I push others to do their best, it also pushes myself. Motivating others, motivates me.  When you watch a workout DVD by yourself you are more opt to turn it off and give up because no one is watching, rather than continue on and help push the person you are working out with.  If the person you are working out with is better than you than that automatically makes you raise your own goals and forces your ego to step it up.  If you are working out with someone you hardly know (I don't know why you would do this) however, you will be naturally wanting to impress them, show them what you have, and that is also motivation.  So grab a friend and make the new year something to talk about. When you work out with a partner you can.... - co-ordinate or shop for work out outfits to keep things fresh and fun - swap music playlists for something different - act a

Do you love to jog but can’t find the time or motivation or simply don’t think you can jog?  I have been suffering with asthma since birth and over the course of the last few months, I have trained my body to be able to sustain jogging.  For the first time in my life, I can jog, and being able to do that, has given me to motivation to repeat it as often as my lifestyle will let me.  As you can see, even fit people have barricades to jump over, and if you are passionate about life, then you will find a way to succeed.  Even a little bit of success is a goal for someone like myself who has lived with asthma and graves disease.  I found that having fun is the first step in overcoming symptoms and when the positivity sinks in that is when it becomes easier to make the new lifestyle a habit.  The way I make jogging fun; a great motivational music list, a new outfit, great shoes, my husband & our chocolate lab, and wonderful weather.  I end my exercise with a c

Exercising while at work will make your day easier to get through, you can exercise without even moving from your chair.  Always remembering to keep your posture straight, stretching from time to time and moving your legs often will prevent fatigue. I often squeeze my eyes closed for 3 seconds to give them a rest from the computer screen as well. The plank is a great core strengthening exercise you can do anywhere, especially behind your desk at work, who will see you?  Even so, if someone catches you spending 2 minutes on the floor, ask them to join you!  Make it a challenge! Do you know those office chairs that twist at work? Here is something to work on. Plant your feet flat on the floor, sit up straight and slowly twist your body from side to side –flexing your obliques and keeping your core tight. Can you imagine doing this all day long, you would have the most flattest stomach and powerful core by the end of the week.  Simple movements like these make

Try a combination of these exercises to firm up those soft spots that jiggle when you move. Remember that a recommended 30 minutes of cardio at least three times a week is required to get that blanket of fat removed from above your muscles. Over-the-Bra Jiggle To get rid of that roll that falls over your bra strap in the back, try bent over rows.  Stand next to a chair with a dumbbell in your right hand.  Put your left knee and your left hand on the seat and extend your right arm to the floor. Bending your elbow out to your side, slowly bring the weight up to your chest.  Try two sets of 15 reps on each side. Thigh Jiggle In addition to cardio, try the four-way lunge.  With your hands on your hips, step forward with your right foot and lunge, return to the start.  Lunge backward, return to start.  Lunge right, return to start. Lunge with your left foot, return to start.  Try two set of 15 reps on each side. Underarm Jiggle Triceps are the easiest muscle to train and

Most of you say you don't have time to spend on exercising, while I have news for you! I have spent the majority of my fitness career trying to make the most of my workouts in the least amount of time because, for those who know me, I am quite busy. I would like to share with you some of my secrets on how I stay fit all year long, daily. I have created a program called the Daily Discipline which reminds myself and others to get up on your feet for a short 3 minutes a day and if you can't find the moments to do this, the following is impossible to ignore. While waiting for your toast to pop; Calf Raises followed by a stretch While you are brushing your teeth; Squats followed by a stretch While you are doing the dishes; Leg Lifts followed by stretching While you are watching television; Crunches followed by long stretches As you can see you can make the most of your time, and when you continue to make slight changes in your activities they will become habit, just

The mornings are overcast, wind is blowing, air is becoming more bitter. Summer is definitely over, so how do you keep energized through the winter months? Most of our energy has to do with sun light and endorphins. The suns rays release chemicals in our brain that naturally make us feel better, but here is a short list to assist in putting the 'OOMPH' back in your day. A good nights sleep. Better work life balance (over worked at the office, sitting at your desk for 8 hours will zap your energy) Time to Yourself - Enjoy what you like to do with no one asking you.. when supper is, or do you know where the car keys are.. etc. Nutritious Diet – Sugary food may promise a rush of energy, it also provides a crash that comes just as quick. Sweet treats causes a huge release of insulin which lowers blood sugar and leaves you feeling sluggish. Small healthy snacks every few hours will sustain your energy. Coffee – If you want a real energy hit, drink water and wean

The squat is one of the most versatile and common exercises that many people can do anywhere, anytime. It’s a great way of building up core strength and also improving your general knee strength and health. The squat can be modified in a number of different ways to help you work other parts of your body as well. Stretching properly before and after each session is necessary. The jump squat is a great test of both leg strength and balance,.. They can build strength-speed, power, improve rate of force development, and of course build up plyometric capacities.  Although it is a rare exercise to see in any gym they are an extremely effective way of turning your next muscle-building program in to a cardio workout.     Start by doing a regular squat and then push yourself up as explosively as you can when you rise up.     Do two sets of 10 reps. Use your whole foot to jump, not just your toes. Once you have got the hang of jump squats you should increase the intensity.  Do

Do you ever sit at your desk and think, if only I can accomplish this work while performing something active?  The latest in technology has allowed us to change our lifestyle in accordance to this freedom, with products such as the iPad, and iPhones.  In my house, I have a modified treadmill that allows me to prop my laptop up on it while walking, thanks to my husband for fabricating this idea.  Creative thinking has allowed me to multi-task with my two passions at the same time, add music and it is a fun-filled few hours for me! Think of ways that you can incorporate fitness into your regular scheduled day.  For example, taking your dog for a walk is a great opportunity to perform interval training.  Interval training is when you start off with a walk, proceed to a jog, and then step it up with a run, changing the speed of your feet every few minutes.  This will allow you to supercharge your fitness, boost your metabolism, burn off that extra fat and start

You have waited all year for that day to harvest your buck that you have been scoping out for weeks, and the time has come.  You unload your equipment from your vehicle, place it in appropriate spots on your body, throw your bow over your shoulder and start the short journey to your perfect spot.  Once you reach the the edge of the bush you realize that there was a windstorm the night before and your perfectly flattened down trail has become an obstacle course littered with dry branches.  You know this has turned out to be a noise hazard.  What do you do?  How long can you keep your balance while stepping over fallen branches, hoping to not get noticed and scare the deer off the field?  Do you soon find out that your boots are much more heavy then before you knew you had to balance to try and be sneaky? Balance allows you to walk quietly.  The Single Leg Stance is a great exercise to mimic the walk in the woods.  First start with both feet planted on the ground shoulder width apart,
