Top 5 "Biggest Loser" Health Tips

FemmeMode · 10-31-2007, 12:08 AM

#5 - Don't believe Everything you read -

Just because it's low in calories or fat...doesn't mean it's good for you!
Check the ingredients....if there are too many words that you can not pronounce - put it back! It's most likely LOADED w/ preservatives!

#4 - Get Rid of that spare tire with CRUNCHES -

Crunches eliminate excess fat around the waistline.
What may surprise you is the "bicycle maneuver" is more than 50% effective at working your obliques than crunches are - try doing them - right now!

#3 - Get on the Resistance Bandwagon -

Resistance Bands are affordable, lightweight, flexible and easy to take with you.
Resistance Bands are a great alternative to barbells, dumbbells, and hand weights - start your resistance band workout today!

#2 - Rid your body of Cellulite -

Exercises like squats and lunges are proven to smooth out the underlying flabby muscles and minimize the appearance of cellulite.

#1 - Lose Weight while getting Zen -

Train your mind and body with yoga
An intense hour of yoga can burn up to 600 calories.
Yoga is great for relieving stress and gaining flexibility

I saw this tonight also. Does anyone out there do yoga?

FemmeMode · 10-31-2007, 12:34 AM

...but am considering it strongly now....YOU???

A new me · 10-31-2007, 06:05 AM

I saw this last night on the show too. And Kat I tried Yoga years ago when I was heavy and it wanst a good experience. But maybe now it would be better. I heard that so many people really enjoy it and its good for you and its de-stressing too.

No I don't but just picked up a dvd for level one yesterday. I know someone who does and she is looking good and feeling great. She doesn't have a weight issue but I swear she looks 10 years younger.

I saw this on the show last night. I actually watched it on the tv that was mounted to the stationary bike I was riding at the gym while I did my own workout. Talk about motivation.

...Christy you are sooo good!!!

I did pick up a YOGA tape this week...now, it's just getting my butt to DOING IT!!!

I just got done a few hours ago watching Biggest loser this week (not riding the stationary bike unfortunately...eating strawberries and ricotta instead -- I always get hungry watching it....

psychological - I'm sure!!

lol)

OH!!!
BTW...my power went out somewhere in the middle of the show and I missed about 5min. on my Tivo....who one the cars????

Christy0283 · 11-07-2007, 07:34 AM

Julie and her partner (what was his name?) won the cars. I was so excited for her because she's the one that had given up her vehicle to be able to stay home from work with her babies. I was even crying for her.

They have YOGA classes up at the Y....I had been thinking about doing one to see if I like it! I've heard great things about YOGA...maybe I'll give it a try!
