Don't over Indulge

Drinking alcohol is a very touching subject. I try to stay away for alcohol because of damaging side effects. But if you do drink, don't over indulge.

Life is about balance and when you do anything in excess, your body pays the price. So when it comes to drinking alcohol, you need to be wise about your decision making process. Think of the effects of too much alcohol in your current and future fitness and health.

a. Can Damage your liver

b. Shuts your metabolism so you can't burn food energy

c. Impairs your decision making process - especially with healthy food decisions

d. Adds tons of liquid NO quality Calories to your daily diet: Sugar and Fat.

Boot Camp Workouts Predicted to be the Number 1 Fitness Trend in '09

Let's face it we are living is some tough economic times. Corporate layoffs, foreclosures, high gas prices and bail out packages are the main topic in the news.

But despite the economy we still must maintain our health. According to the American Council on Exercise, boot camp workouts will remain extremely popular in 2009 because they provide a total-body workout that's varied, fun and challenging. Up to 600 calories can be burned during a boot camp session, which is obviously going to facilitate weight loss. But in addition to a great cardiovascular workout, muscles are strengthened through high- and low-intensity exercises such as pushups, squats and lunges. You don't typically experience significant muscle fitness benefits in other aerobic exercises.
