Well, now that the Christmas rush is over, many of us have begun to turn our attention to the New Year. Typically, at the end of a calendar year, people will look back at the previous year and assess the highs and lows, the accomplishments they’ve achieved and the things they wanted to do but…
Holiday Fat-Buster
Are you the type to sing-a-long with all the carols, get your cards out before we see the 1st day of December, and look forward to the crowds at the malls? Or do the joyous songs start to get on your nerves and the endless responsibilities from getting your cards out, decorating the house inside…
Look 10 to 20 years younger!
Each of us is getting older right now, minute by minute. But the good news is older doesn’t have to look older. If you could look 10-20 years younger than you actually are, you’d be all for that correct?! Okay, well there’s no question that a healthy and fit lifestyle guarantees a more youthful appearance….
Look and feel your best at any age!
Forty doesn’t look like forty anymore…or at least it doesn’t have to! One of our staff recently attended her high-school reunion and sent me a photo of her and her classmates. The difference between her and her peers was startling. They had all put on a ton of weight and looked at least 20 or…

As a result, many people notice they find themselves in front of the fridge and cupboards more often munching mindlessly on excessive calories. It’s easy to see why people tend to carry…
Mental games to keep you focused on your fitness workouts
I’m just like anyone…sometimes I just don’t feel like exercising or I’m having to stay really focused to get through a workout. But I hardly ever miss a workout so I must be doing something right! I believe in order to have solid consistency, you have to sometimes play mental games to get through workouts….
Do not read if you are eating!
Today, I wanted to touch on an uncomfortable but critical subject… When we eat, one of the four things happens… We use the calories and nutrients in the food for our basic metabolic functions like cellular or organ functioning or growth and repair of tissues We use the calories and nutrients in the food for…
