A study on Intensive Weight Loss Programs to Reverse Diabetes, part 1.

The Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA, published findings of a new randomized controlled trial, by a team led by Edward Gregg of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according which intensive weight loss programs can help overweight adults with type 2 diabetes to see partial remission online, December the 18th.

Type 2 diabetes -a disease costs the U.S. health system $116 billion each year -has long been thought of as a chronic and irreversible disease, but is it an irreversible one? Anyway, some 25 million Americans are afflicted with the illness, which is associated with obesity and a sedentary lifestyle, as well as high blood pressure. And it is estimated to affect 50 million Americansby 2050.

Recent previous study shows that gastric bypass surgery -a form of bariatric surgery that reduces the sizeof the stomach -can lead to at least temporary remission of type 2 diabetes in up to 62 percent of extremely obese adults.

Do barbaric surgeries seem drastic to you? Less drastic measure exists too...

The findings of the study published by the JAMA suggest that “partial remission, defined by a transition to prediabetic or normal glucose levels without drug treatment for a specific period, is an obtainable goal for some patients with type 2 diabetes” ; But researchers also think that regaining weight and falling behind on diet and physical activity goals increase the risk that people will return to a diabetic state.

Can eating healthy suffice? Some will say not. But eating healthy as a huge role.

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them," said Albert Einstein.

It's why all of us agree that tips to make the change are always welcome. Below are some I found and want to share with all of you ;

"We treat our cars better than our bodies."

"We’re eating highly processed, high sugar, unhealthy fats, way too much andeating nutrient void yet highly caloric“sub-foods.”
Our bodies don’t even know what these substances are and doesn’t know how tohandle them."

Why not to "Eat whole, real, nutrient dense foods, move your body regularly in a way that you enjoy, get adequate, restorative sleep regularly, lighten up your stress load, connect more with others and get the support you need to get your job done" instead I wonder?

To get there, ask yourself "if you can’t pronounce the ingredients, if you wouldn’t find the ingredients in a cookbook, if your grandmother never cooked with it or if it can last indefinitelyon a shelf somewhere … do you really want that inside you?"

A practical example is "Putting a little bit of fruit in your water.
Take a watermelon, cut it into chunks and freeze it. Put it in your water and as you’re drinking, take a bite every now and again."

Erika Nicole Kendall who topped off at a size 28 before starting to pay attention to her health.
Now she has more than 7,000 followers on Twitter , about 102,000 Facebook likes and has been featured in the New York Times, Huffington Post, NPR and Black Enterprise.
as seen within her article: "Working out without losing your curves."

All the other quotes from an article by a recognized health,weight loss, fitness, wellness, lifestyle and self improvement expert.

Registered Dietitian with a master’s degree in nutrition, Debi Silber is also a certified personal trainer and a Whole Health Coach.

Get in fitness, get in better health but get rid of your excess weight and more.

Do Exercise to "build lean muscle, which will increase your metabolism and help positively change the shape of your body" because as seen above "the benefits of exercise extend far beyond weight loss."
Few more are "Sense of accomplishment, joy and mental alertness."
"Better sleep, increased energy and a decreased risk of developing conditions such as diabetes, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease."

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.” ~John F. Kennedy

And yes, "These benefits may be less objectively and aesthetically measurable than visible weight loss, but they are even more significant. " But you can get all of them plus the objectively and esthetically measurable visible weight loss.

Did you asked HOW ?
"Twice per week, make two of your runs interval workouts. This will maximize your calorie burn during your running workouts, as well as your post-exercise calorie burn.
Warm up for 10 minutes and then alternate 15 seconds of fast running with 45 seconds of moderate running for 20 minutes. Cool down for five to 10 minutes. Intervals are intense.
To avoid injuries, don't do intervals morethan twice per week."

Quoted information from anarticle by Kathleen Trotter who has been a personal trainer and Pilates equipment specialist for 10 years.

Two studies ; healthy lifestyle for weight loss and heart, for weight loss and diabetes.

"The study fund that weight loss had many positive health benefits for people with type 2 diabetes."
And that
"People who are obese and have type 2 diabetes can lose weight and maintain their weight loss with a lifestyle intervention."

Paths to health, to weight loss with supportive thoughts.

"Whichever way you choose to lose weight, you should always feel that it is something that you are willing to do for the rest of your life.
Many people start doing things and, if they're being honest with themselves, are unlikely to continue in that manner for longer than a few weeks. This is not the way to lose weight for good."

"Drastic changes are not designed to last.
A better approach is to make small changes in different areas of your eatingthat you hardly notice."
"Over a surprisingly short time, these small changes can add up to large weight loss."

"You change your habits by repeating behaviors over and over again. And the behaviors that you are more likely to repeat are ones that are relatively easy and fit seamlessly into your life."

Safer way to health ; A surgery or pills ? Plus weight loss tips .

Caution :
“Bariatric surgery does have a role to play in obesity management, but we should explore every other option before we resort to surgery.”

Robert Houtman, director of the Obesity Management Association, a UK-based patient advocacy group.


“In appropriately selected patients, especially those witha high cardiovascular risk, surgical weight loss could be life- saving.”
“The magnitude of effect on risk factors is impressive, and to date no pharmacological therapy for weight management or diabetes has shown a comparable effect over these short timeperiods.”

The authors of a study led by Amanda Vest of the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.

The survey was published yesterday in the U.K. journal Heart, which commissioned the research.

Fact :
At least 2.8 million adults die each year as a result of being overweight or obese, according to the Geneva-based World Health Organization.

"The more options that we have available, the better it's going to be."

Lead researcher Dr. Kishore Gadde, fromDuke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina.

"Have a discussion with your doctor, not about whether there's a magic bullet you could be on for weight loss, but whether or not you're on any medications at this point that could be contributing to weight gain."

"Postmenopausal women who lose evena moderate amount of weight (5 percentor more) through diet and exercise can significantly lower their risk of estrogen-sensit ive breast cancers by as much as 25 percent to 50 percent,"
"researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center found."

"We know stressors in our lives contribute to weight gain, so an effort torelieve unneeded worries or managing other issues can be a great start. Womencan also start by setting realistic goals, following a low-calorie diet and getting the recommended 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise most days of the week."

According to findings reported in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism by Penn State College of Medicine researchers.

"Obesity in women has been linked to lack of ovulation and thus infertility."
But
"The effects of weight loss on reproductive function are more modest than we hypothesized. In terms of ovulation, there doesn't appear to be a window after surgery where fertility is improved,"
"Other factors may be involved with infertility in obese women, such as diminished sexual desire and thus less intercourse."

Study: How to succeed a weight loss? And what is it about.

"There's no medicine that is a panacea for obesity."

Cautioned said the study lead author Dr. Kishore Gadde, director of the Obesity Clinical Trials Program at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C

"The question was to see if more weight loss could be achieved if we provided decent quality lifestyle intervention, mostly dietary counseling."

"And the answer was yes," Gadde said.

"But for about athird [of patients], biological issues are at play, such as not easily experiencing satiety signals from the gut to the brain."

And Lona Sandon, a registered dietitian and assistant professor of clinical nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, agreed.

"The important thing to keep in mind is that although we diagnose obesity on the basis of a mathematical formula -- aBMI of 30 and up -- the basis for obesity may differ from one individual to another."

The research, funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, appears online Oct. 15 in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine .

Eat clever, get a better health, achieve weight loss. Says Badwi nutritionist

"Blindly following a printed diet is not the right way to lose weight. Losing weight the healthy way involves a bit of nutritional education and counseling, changing lifestyle habits and cooking methods, and following a food plan"

“I have seen countless twenty-five-yea r-old patients who came to my office and were successful at losing weight, but their skin looks dry, scaly, and pale, and they suffer from hair loss,fatigue, depression, sagging skin, constipation, and in some cases iron-deficiency , anemia and osteoporosis. All of these health problems are side-effects of an unhealthy and excessively rigid weight loss diet, and these problems could havebeen avoided if following the correct food plan,”

A success story ; the power of fitness for health, for weight loss etc

Name: Kay Alexander
Age: 58
Height: 5'3"
Before Weight: 273 pounds
I started eating more and moving less. The pounds piled on and thesedentary lifestyle started to take a toll on my health as well.
By 2010, my weight was double the normal weight for a woman my height.
How I Lost It: In April 2010, with the support of my husband and family, I began exercising and modifying my diet. I started exercising very gradually. I was nervous because of the heart attack and also my bad knees. I started with 15 minutes on the treadmill at a slow walk. By the time I left cardiac rehab, I was working out for 20 minutes on the treadmill, 20 minutes on the NuStep, 10 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes of weights. The first time I tried the elliptical was the longest five minutes ofmy life.
After I had lost about 50 pounds, I started wearing a pedometer and tracking my steps. I averaged about 5,000 to 6,000 steps a day at first. Now I average about 16,000 steps a day. I go tothe gym five to six times a week. I do cardio every time I go, and about 30 minutes of weights three times a week. Mike and I go togther on Sunday mornings.

Study: shorter but more intense fitness, a solution for timeless individuals.

Only 2.5 minutes of HIIT/SIT,High Intensity Interval Training/Sprint Interval Training, burn as many as 200 calories according to a new research
"It would take at least 30 to 40 minutes of walking at 3 to 4 mph to burn the same number of calories."
Denise Reynolds is a Registered Dietitian, licensed in both North and South Carolina. She counsels patients frequently on diets to improve symptoms of chronic diseases, such as Heart Disease, Diabetes, and Obesity.
"Research shows that many people startan exercise program but just can't keep it up. The biggest factor people quote is that they don't have the time to fit in exercise. We hope if exercise can befit into a smaller period of time, then they may give exercise a go and stick with it."
Researcher Kyle Sevits, who helped conduct a study with a team from the University of Colorado Anschultz MedicalCampus and Colorado State University.

Also good to know :
The US governments recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of aggressive exercise each week.

Carbs and health, carbs and weight loss ; From studies and experts.

I've found a single article with 3 experts' participation... Here I share my mashup :

"Carbohydrates provide us with energy that our body needs; they also maintain stable blood sugar levels. A lot of carbohydrate foods are also high in fibre and other nutrients as well.’’Sports dietitian, Katherine Shone.
Notice that good carb options she lists include fruits.

"We should avoid severely restricting ... and focus on the quality of the nutrient." said David Ludwig of the Obesity Prevention Center at Boston Children's Hospital ;
because a diet of healthy carbohydrates, rather than low-fat or low-carbohydrate diets, offered a better chance of keeping weight off without nasty side effects, found one of the latest studies by Ludwig.

Dr Mehmet Oz, a popular TV personality and doctor, writes: ‘‘Avoid the lure of low-fat foods, which contain a sizable amount of calories [and] avoid the lure of low-carb foods, which sometimes have more calories from from sugar. [Instead] try to have 40 per cent of your total caloric intake come from complex carbohydrates ... Choose ... legumes, fruits and vegetables.’’

"Bottom line: carbohydrates do not make you fat. The amount you eat does." Says Kathleen Alleaume, nutritionist andauthor of What’s Eating You?
But only the amount ? the quality too I'd add.

The group setting and it's mental boost to get healthier, lose weight.

"Weight loss maintenance is a big challenge and clearly has an impact on health parameters," said Angela Pinto, assistant professor of psychology at Baruch College of the City University of New York and lead researcher.
"We know that clinically important weight loss, between 5 to 10 percent, can positively affect health."

It's why once again a new post is in front of you to help achieve a quick and healthy weight loss.
"When people who are working on a similar problem get together, they can support each other so they don't feel alone [during] weight loss journeys."
"With the group idea, there's a sense of belonging" which is a commitment boosting, this is happening everyday.
because "After a certain point, the 'education process' of weight loss becomes almost secondary to the staying motivated." Keith Ayoob, director of nutrition clinic Rose F. Kennedy Center atthe Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
"That's important for people to think about when they want to know what canfacilitate sustained weight loss,"pinto added

And a nutrition advice by ME :
Are you focusing on your fiber intake?
Fiber helps absorb toxic trash and get it out of your body. In general, healthy people should consume 25 grams of fiber per day (or more). Overweight people should get 35 – 45 grams of fiber per day.

Lifestyles changes for better health, better weight etc from a nutritionist.

Grapes, excellent post workout fruit for both rehydration re-energising, they digest easily and quickly but make sure that they are sweet.

"Daily physical activity and following healthy eating habits with plentiful fruits and vegetables and minimal empty calories and fried foods"1 may prevent breast and prostate cancer and improve survivorship in those diagnosed with cancer.

Even if while it can be challenging to lose weight, or get into a healthier lifestyle, "Small changes can add up and make a big difference." says Dr. Marian Neuhouser, Ph.D, RD is a nutritional epidemiologist with a background in nutritional sciences. She isan investigator at Seattle’s Fred HutchinsonCance r Research Center . Herresearch is focused on lifestyle factors such as nutrition and physical activity.

When it comes to food, Dr. Neuhouser says, "Start with making one new food change each week. Instead of eating twocookies, eat just one.”
And
When it comes to getting active, Dr. Neuhouser says, "If someone is not used to physical activity, try a five- to 10-minute walk and gradually increase the time. Having physical activity partners or walking partners always helps. I know my soccer team will be waiting for me on the field, so even if I am tired or busy, I still show up."

and a last one ;Is sleep related to weight loss?
Celebrity fitness trainer and lifestyle expert Terri Walsh insisted on the importance of getting sufficient sleep. It turns out that if you're sleep-deprived, you're more likely to crave carbohydrates.

Fitness & healthy eating, firstly about health; weight loss, skin cleanse, etc come after.

"The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body. The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produceoutstanding results."
— Tony Robbins
It's why whether a weight loss is involved or it isn't everyone should do something to get in better health through proper diet, or should I say proper nutrition, plus fitness. And this keeping in mind that
"Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow."~John Maxwell
Just in the case a weight loss is involved, I've picked a bunch of quotes to share below :
"Losing weight is always hard, butespecially when dealing with the stresses." Says Dr. Andrew Moore, a reproductive and infertility specialist at the Parkway Health Center in Orem.
"I think Weight loss is more than an individual effort. If they don't have the support it is very hard to be successful both short-term and long-term." added Dr. R. Richard Rasmussen, medical director at Utah Weight Loss. Because "It is not just about the weight loss but also abouthealth and weight management and learning the tools to help them maintain their weight loss."
"Being overweight or obese not only impacts male and female infertility but also increases pregnancy complications," Moore added ton."Obesity in the mother increases miscarriages, pre-term labor, stillbirths, low birth weight babies as well as large babies, and neonatal outcomes are adversely affected."

Boost fat burn naturally as you move or fitness

What could be your reaction ?
If I tell you that with your body and simple but intelligent fitness behaviors you can produce a molecule which may help :
#. Regulate metabolism
#. Speed up fat burn
#. Reduce hunger

The text below will firstly be molecule targeted then"fitness to get it" oriented.

The molecule.
Interleukin-6 is a chemical messenger in everyone's immune system that plays an important role in fighting off infections.
"Our previous findings would indicate that interleukin-6 can play a key role in regulating the metabolism of healthy individuals." says Erik Schéle, doctoral student who is presenting the results in his thesis.
But the chemical isn't good at only this,
"Interleukin-6 increases levels of substances in the brain that trigger weight loss, which could explain why high levels of this molecule lead to weight loss."
"This is both surprising and new. It could in the long run lead to people fighting obesity by changing what they eat in linewith how it affects the brain." says Erik Schéle.

Fitness to get an increase.
studies show that focusing on the lowering or ‘eccentric’ motion when you lift weights may help to increase levels of the chemical; the downward phase of weight lifting exercises because it amplifies the tension, which triggers the release of interleukin-6 to reduce inflammation.
It was another experts's

3 experts, one article ; Healthy eating and fitness.

Jeffrey Levi, the executive director of Trust for America'sHealth :

"By the year 2030, at least 44 percent of adults in every state of the country could be obese."
"The potential rise in health-related problems associated with obesity and the rise in health care costs could be staggering."
As seen on benzinga

It's why brilliant researches are being conducted to stop or just slow down this increase's speed, allowing weight loss es and weight gain prevention.
One of them ;
A study published in the journal Physiology and Behavior, the new research by Terry Davidson, director of American University's Center for Behavioral Neuroscience. Bringing information that may motivate saying "Our results suggest that whatever allows them to eat less and keep the pounds off also helps to keep their brains cognitively healthy." Davidson

Now Susan Albers, PsyD., a clinical psychologist and author of Eating Mindfully , to hear her advice on how to achieve healthy life goals by fast weight loss through permanent changes in eating habits.

Firstly the one that may be took like the subtitle : “It’s more about how you eat than what you eat.”
Then,
“Seventy-five percent of overeating is caused by emotions, yet most of our dietsfocus on food, which is why they fail,” she said. “They don’t teach what todo for cravings or slip ups.”
And finaly ; “One of my favorite stress-busting foods is pistachios – they’re low in calories, the lowest in fat among the nuts, and they also help to regulate blood sugar. You have to open them slowly,and you have a pile of shells afterwards to remind you of how much you’ve eaten.”

That isn't it, let's add one of tips from a doctor
"People who continue to eat garbage, they're obviously going to fail. ... They can't continue with their bad habits," Dr. Gary Neale, M.D., a general/bariatric surgeon at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital.

Not excessive high intensity for shorter time periods and an active day ; the new fitness guideline, study says.

Experts are commenting an information brought by the American college of sports medicine ; Below are the information and comments from two experts : Dr. Carl Foster and Amy Dixon
The ACSM, American college of sports medicine, recommends that most adults should engage in at least 150 minutes of ... exercise each week.
And
Multiple shorter sessions of at least 10 minutes are acceptable and even people unable to meet the minimums still benefit from some activity, always according to the previously mentioned ACSM.

Dr. Carl Foster, a professor in the exercise and sports science department at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
"Yes it can be done. You can do the work in 10 minutes but then it takes you 40 minutes to recover."
And for motivation, "The people who are ... active on a routine basis are the people who don't get heart attacks." He added.

"If I had 10 minutes I would do fairly intense strength training, total body workouts with dumbbells or kettle bells interspersed with cardio intervals like jumping jacks," said Amy Dixon, who is Group Fitness Manager at an Equinox fitness center in Santa Monica, California. And creator of the "Give Me 10" DVD series of 10-minute workouts.
And will remember "If you're reading a magazine," she said,"you're not working out."

What's involved into the abs affair? just an healthy diet or fitness too... Is it all ?

“Abs are made in the kitchen” but extra factors play roles too!
Before we talk about the factor "Kitchen", let's talk about others that count too

1.Where you start/came from in term of initial body fat.

The present comes from the past, and the future will come from the present ; If you have a high % of body fat, you will have to burn lots of fat then hold a certain level of leanness for a certain time before seeing your abdominal muscles.
Because the fat you shred doesn't go completely, but leave a tissue that require a longer hold of efforts to disappear.

2. Your cortisol level.

Nights are designed for sleeping, which can incredibly adjust your control level : Getting to bed at a reasonable hour and preferably the same every night for a reasonable length is a good way of taking advance of this...
Note : The reasonable length is up to each one's activity level ; the more you're active, the more you need sleep !

3. Genetics

Like it or not, your genetics have lots to say about how you look.
But you aren't obliged to fit their profile : Remember that you're what you convince yourself you are ... Create a new reality is needed !

4. Excessive aerobic exercise.

Things, even good ones, are dangerous if did excessively ... It's the case of aerobic fitness.
Walking, light hiking or bike riding, mobility circuits, etc aren't harmful, but the hours and hours of doing them.

5. Healthy eating.

Like I said at the top of this article "Abs are made in the Kitchen" this signify that talking about this factor is worth an entire article. So, keep in touch ... the article is in kitchen and coming ...

Fitness practiser or not ; Get best proteins from...

Of course, my position regarding the best source of proteins is not only based on the following ...
The fact is : The man is one of the best doctor ever, and I'm not saying this only because he recommends healthy eating but because really all he recommends seem to work. :)
"Scientists have found that animal proteins are particularly damaging to the body, because so many of their amino acids contain sulfa, which is far more toxic to the liver and kidneys than vegetable proteins. One of the most time-honored approaches to healing the kidneys and liver, in fact, is to eat a low-protein diet, especially a diet low in animal proteins. When the protein content of the diet drops, kidneys are strengthened and very often healed." Dr. John A McDougall
He was one of the first traditional physicians of the medical "establishment" to assert that adoption of a vegetarian diet can reverse unfavorable medical conditions such as heart disease.
Medical research is now confirming this assertion. And slowly butsurely, medical practitioners are accepting it.With this been said, let's add that He cared for thousands of patients over almost 3 decades of medical practice and has run a highly successful live-in program for more than 20 years.
Targeted goals Dramatic and lasting health benefits such as weight (fat) loss, serious illness cure, such as heart disease, without drugs.

Face to fitness, how does fat react, and ... What is fat all about ?

Thanks to one of my facebook friend, nammed kenneth here I come with a new post.
Love my connection with all of you.

Fat is our reserve source of energy, where your body find calories for it to function when there's a lack of carbohydrates. It's sufficient for fat not to be always harmful.

Under our skins, the layer of fat and muscle are seperate tissues
If your layer of fat is higher than it should, whatever your fitness exercise and length are, you will just end up having strong muscles hiding under.
So, to flaunt your muscles, work for a fat loss and strengthen the abs muscles.
About 20 minutes of fitness are required to start using this reserve -burning fat- for an average person on an average diet. -It's happening when you feel the heat feeling within your stomach area.


Note :
1. You cannot target fat loss. No fitness exercise or machine can burn fat just around your abdominals, or your tigh, or wherever on your body's muscles.
Fat is distributed across the body more on some parts and less on others but it is burned removing the same percentage from all the parts.
2. In general, woman's healthy fat percentages is higher than guys's.
3 Its not good to completely negate carbohydrate from your diet because your body still needs to functionusing carbs. functioning without any carbsource will cause fatigue, headaches, dizziness, mood swings, high uric acid etc

Fitness for fat loss and lean muscles building.

Lodge a stability ball between the head and a wall.
Gently press into it from various angles.
This can be press - release - press - release, isotonic, or press - hoooold - release, isometric.
Because you're relying solely on your neck-muscle strength to train, IT'S A NECK FITNESS !

"There's no danger of using too much resistance... My stab-ball is part of the furniture! ... It's the chair/stool I use at my computer and to watch tv on; rolls under the desk when not in use." JOHN MACHIN a kind of fitness encyclopedia whose collaboration was crucial for this article.
A 55 cm-diameter ball is optimum. But because in some areas, example Britain, the standard size is 65 cm, which is far too big for the average person and the average living-room.
It may take a little more time to find a 55 cm stab-ball, but it's worth it.

...Because thinking about you, balls and home workouts today, here another fitness exercise you can try :
• Right foot on the ball, left leg in the air,hands on the floor. Flex the right leg to draw it under the torso (kept static) and extend back to starting position. Repeat 5 times.
• Switch to left leg on the ball, right leg in the air. Repeat x 5.
• Both feet on the ball. Repeat x 5.
• Keeping both feet on the ball, press-up 5 times.
That’s four continuous sets using hundreds of muscles. You can add a fifth set by doing press-ups while simultaneously flexing the legs (down-flex, up-extend) …

11 Strength training fitness tips.

After I read "11 Strength training tips" It's time to share what I've learnt :)
1. Learn Proper Form. It’s much easier to learn proper form initially than to develop poor habits and try to break them later...
2. Stick to the Basics. Just getting into strength training or getting serious about it? you will be better off sticking with a few exercises for the first few months. Think about it this way–what would be easier and quicker for you to memorize :7 different riddles or 20?...
3. Use Acceptable Alternatives. Mobility issues don’t allow you to safely and properly perform certain exercises, or lack of equipments ? Either way, you should use appropriate exercise substitutions...
4. Focus on Getting Stronger. The necessary strength to make some popular boot-camp or circuit type workouts...
5. Know that You will NOT get “Big ‘n Bulky”. -Women. Strength training will allow you to build muscle, increase your metabolism, burn body fat, and ultimately help you achieve the healthy lean and“toned” appearance you desire...
6. Be consistent and Don’t Give Up. Celebrate the smaller steps you achieve along the way. Don’t expect to start strength training today and witness results overnight. However, most women who just start strength training notice some changes the first week...
7. Set Motivating goals. You will be more motivated to train consistently, have more fun,enjoy training, increase confidence within a short periodof time...
8. Don’t be intimidated.
9. Follow a beginner training program. If you’re a beginner, you need to train like a beginner – this is the simplest and quickest way to get results...
10. Be excited! Strength coaches and experienced strength training individuals usually says : "The beginner stages period is the time to make the best and fastest progress..."
11) Start Today Don’t say, “I’ll start tomorrow” or “the new year” What does your first step need to be? Go for it and right now :) Good luck

He was too large to weigh himself on a bathroom scale. So he had to go to the scrap yard to be weighed.
"My scales just kept saying 'Error,'" "My doctor told me, 'Richard you're not going to live. You're not going to see your 30th birthday,'"
he recalled. "Knowing I wasn't going to see my 30th birthday, knowing I wasn't able to have any kids because of me being obese, I gave up on life."
Richard Neal credits his success to the P90X program, (more users write about on the page you can find here ) a home workout regime, began by Tony Horton of Beachbody nearly a decade ago.

In addition to helping others, Neal also enjoys spending time with his three-month-old son. Now what are your dreams ?
