For many people, if you ask how they spend their spare time, they will offer answers like spending time with family, having social time with friends, or shopping.
While these activities may be healthy and add to happiness, they aren’t really ways to develop our unique personal interests or do activities we most enjoy. But hobbies are!
Diet fads and food labels are now more confusing than ever. The food industry has made it difficult to have a clear focus of what is truly good for one’s health.
Instead of looking at the latest weight loss trend, we need to focus on eating well as a part of one’s lifestyle. Food in its whole, natural form should still be attainable and enjoyable! Although exercise and other lifestyle choices are very important, they should be paired with proper nutrition.
After you spend some time getting fit, losing weight, building strength, or any other goal you might have for your workout results, it’s common to run into a fitness plateau.
Plateaus can be as subtle as stalling out on fat loss, or as extreme as hitting a wall when you’re training to increase endurance. Use these approaches to push yourself through.
If you’re like most people, you don’t particularly love a grueling ab workout. Trainers are used to it: we’ll moan and groan, and we would rather skip that part if we could.
There are plenty of smart reasons to work your core, though, so don’t be quick to pass on it. The truth is, you might be a lot closer to a fantastic set of abs than you know!
Most of us are familiar with the advice of dieticians, doctors and even our mothers, when it comes to breakfast: we’ve been told it’s good to eat a healthy morning meal.
And yet breakfast is a highly skipped meal —only 1/3 of the respondents in one study report making time to eat the first meal of the day. What benefits are they missing?
Maybe you’ve watched some of the weight loss and fitness makeover shows on TV, and wondered how much of the participants’ progress is actually achievable, for YOU.
We can’t speak for television’s biggest losers, but there are many success stories among our XSport Fitness members. Like our latest Get Fit Challenge Grand Prize winner, Troy!
