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.

The Night Chronicles: DEVIL (The Review)

This weekend premiered the first film of the Night Chronicles Series, Devil. As a scary movie fanatic, I support scary movies that I find to be worth my time and money. When I saw the preview/trailer for Devil, I found it to be interesting, not corny like the rest of the scary movies that came out lately, and the best thing was, that it wasn’t in 3D. It seems like every slasher/thriller, kids or action movies that come out are in 3D.

Finding Motivation to Stay Fit – Guest Post by Lita Lewis

The end of Summer is near, and this is the time of the year where we stop going to the gym, working out, and back to eating like crazy, because the Fall/Winter clothes will keep that weight nicely hidden. Right?! Wrong! I’ve recently joined the gym, ok, maybe about a month or two ago, and I am trying to make it habit of going and getting and staying fit. Whether it’s Summer, Fall, Winter or Spring, I will put in some workout in my daily life.

The Dangers Of Ignoring Your Oil

If you own a car, you need to know about engine oil, not just where in the engine it goes but also the consequences of ignoring it. If you let your oil level drop too low or even if you use the wrong type of oil for your car, you could increase your emissions which can affect your MOT and get you in trouble if you find yourself being stopped by the police. From a cost perspective, not enough oil or using the wrong type will mean you end up burning more fuel, and with prices at the pumps higher than they’ve ever been can you really afford this?

Get out of Debt by Summer’s End

Getting into debt is always easier (and generally more fun) than digging your way out of it. You sure loved those little ankle boots when you bought them on credit (only $100 on sale!) but now that they’ve been sitting in your closet for three months, you’re beginning to wonder if they’re really worth the exorbitant amount of money you’ll end up paying in interest for them (you suddenly realize that they’ve cost you almost double what you thought…ouch).

Best Investments for the Year

money and investing, investing, stocks,

If you’re like most people who have owned stocks for at least the last few years, then you probably got hosed as the market fell (apparently the term “crash” does not apply, regardless of the similarly catastrophic outcome). Many Americans pulled out of the race completely (some not by choice) as the stock market plummeted, and some never went back.

Take Your Summer Vacation for Less

Like most people, you’re probably looking to get away for the summer.

But with the economy in a perpetual state of recession, you may have to face the fact that your yearly trip to Hawaii must be put on hold. Don’t fret yet.
