No More Over Snacking…

Do you ever sit at home and just snack on whatever you find in the fridge. Instead of pouring a bowl of potato chips, you grab the whole back and sit down and watch tv? An hour or two goes by, the show you were watching ended, then all of a sudden you realize you finished the whole bag of potato chips by yourself. This is the definition of bad snacking or snacking gone wrong.

20 Minutes on the Treadmill is All You Need

A few years ago I posted this post: 20 Minutes to a Great Bod, at that time I was really into fitness and keeping my body weight constant. I slacked off for about a year and then got back to it again this year and I couldn’t be any happier. I am not a runner/jogger, I find it boring, annoying and pointless to run on a treadmill straight for 30-60 minutes. However, after I found this great workout by FitnessMagazine.com I found a new love for the treadmill.
