Toning And Firming Your Arms

Today we’re gonna focus on toning and firming your arms---especially this back of the arm area, the notoriously difficult to tighten triceps. Now, I know and I totally understand most women don’t want bulging biceps and body builder arms---and for this reason a large percentage of women steer clear of the weights and hit the cardio equipment instead. ----But, here’s the deal, if you’re over about age 30---which I am! ---it is almost completely impossible to have toned arms unless you do some sort of resistance training. ---

Now the resistance training I’m encouraging doesn’t have to be super hard-core with way heavy weights, but it does have to be challenging enough so that you feel the burn and so you are actually fatiguing your muscles.---For maximum results, you also want to make sure you’re working your muscles in a variety of ways using a variety of exercise training techniques. ----In addition, you also want to consider a training technique called “DROP-SETS” where you do 1 exercise—such as overhead presses---with a moderately heavy weight for 10-12 reps and then you “drop” down to a lighter weight and repeat the same exercise for 20-30 reps without resting between sets.

Here are a few examples of some exercises you can do at home:

1. Incorporating SUPER-SLOW training---try doing single arm lat rows with tricep extension (put other hand on stability ball)
2. For upper body endurance try HIGHER REP TRAINING doing boxing with light weights AND medicine ball throws
3. For sheer strength---nothing beats the push-up! Try a variety of tempos to increase intensity
4. Drop Set---do overhead press with 7 pounds and then drop down to 5 pounds

Now of course you can’t just do arm exercises and get fabulous arms if you also aren’t following a healthful diet. For more information on healthy “whole foods” eating tips please visit my website at www.goldcoastcure.com or check out my Gold Coast Cure or Fitter, Firmer, Faster books.---

That’s all we have time for today, but please tune in next time for time saving glute tightening tips!

Weight Wise Tips With Maureen Mccormick

“Healthy” foods can be misleading when you don’t know what you’re eating. For example, a honey bran muffin can have as many as 550 calories! Just because it’s honey and bran, doesn’t mean it’s low in calories. Remember – low caloric intake combined with exercise leads to healthy weight loss that lasts.

Glute Training

One common problem many women run into when they’re trying to work their glutes is that they allow their thigh muscles to take over and consequently their glutes never really get targeted ----One of the major reasons this happens is that some of the most effective glute training exercises are also among the most effective thigh-building exercises---such as squats, lunges, and leg presses. ---And, quite often, a woman who has less developed glutes has muscle attachments and leverage issues that favor thigh development over glute development. These women end up getting bigger and more developed thighs but they don’t ever see results in their glutes. ----If this sounds like you ---there are a few pointers to keep in mind that will help ensure your glutes get targeted---plus some specific exercises that will help---

Use Public Transportation

Here’s a way in which you can help reduce harmful carbon emissions into the environment…
Use public transportation whenever possible… Carpool, shop locally, and ideally switch to a hybrid or energy-efficient car (if you haven't already). But remember – to get the full, recommended use of a hybrid, you have to keep it for 5 years.

Food For Walking

If you’re walking to keep joints from getting stiff, know when to eat and drink to maximize benefits. Walking too soon after eating makes it harder, strains your heart and makes burning fat near impossible. So wait 30 to 40 minutes before exercising to allow digestion a head start. Also, drink 8 gulps of water before you start walking, sip water during your walk, and drink 8 gulps after. Exercise and hydration are the key to success!

It's Time For Your Hair Color To Go Green

If you color your hair, do you ever think about all the chemicals that are involved? Those chemicals go on your scalp, and your scalp is your skin and absorbed into your system. So what should you do if you want glorious color and great gray coverage but are concerned about the toxic chemicals and cancer scares?

Organic hair color has been a tremendous success in Donna Pascoe’s salon for two reasons: First, women are realizing the benefits…their hair is in better condition & they are reducing the amount of toxic chemicals they are exposed to. And second, from a salon perspective they are reducing their carbon footprint by reducing the amount of ammonia and other chemicals they are putting into the environment.

Pick Frozen Vegetables

In cold weather, pick frozen vegetables. Fighting inflammation in your body means eating your vegetables, but in the winter, frozen vegetables might actually be more nutritious than fresh, depending on how they were handled, stored and prepared. Frozen veggies are picked at their nutritional peak. On the other hand, fresh veggies may be picked before they’re fully ripened, and in the winter frequently travel long distances to get to your supermarket, both of which may affect nutrition quality. So be in the know, when it starts to snow!

How To Pick The Perfect Pet Pal & Avoiding Puppy Mills

You could be paying a high price for that doggie in the window, especially if you plan on buying one for your family. Many pet stores and Internet vendors across the country are taking advantage of consumers by selling animals bred in “puppy mills,” which are inhumane commercial kennels that raise dogs in cramped, filthy conditions. In an effort to fight back, the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) is launching a new campaign to raise awareness about the hazardous breeding practices of puppy mills. The ASPCA wants to educate the public on how to find the perfect pet for you and avoid irresponsible breeders.

ASPCA Supervisory Special Investigator, Annemarie Lucas, the star of Animal Planet’s award-winning series “Animal Precinct”, tells viewers the importance of fighting against these inhumane breeding practices.

CLA In Milk Fights Inflammation

Get milk! A study showed that a type of fat found in milk inhibits substances produced by the body that play a significant role in inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Conjugated linoleic acid, or C-L-A is the essential fatty acid, and it’s found in the milk of all grazing animals, including cows. It blocks the pathway of enzymes that trigger inflammation that can ultimately damage joints. So drink milk until the cows come home!

Be An Energy Star

Here’s an effortless tip: Identify products that have the blue and white Energy Star label, and buy those when you need a new appliance or piece of office equipment. The initially higher cost offsets your yearly savings and reduces CO2 emissions. An Energy Star washing machine, for example, costs about $150 more but you’ll save $50 a year on your energy bill. And it will cut water use by up to 7,000 gallons per year!

NBA Center Talks About Overcoming Asthma And The Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA Skills Challenge

NBA star Tyson Chandler was diagnosed with asthma in 2004, but that hasn’t stopped the 7’1” New Orleans Hornets center from working to rise to the top of his game. By partnering with his doctor, Tyson has kept his asthma under control. Today, asthma affects 6.8 million children in the United States (nearly 1 in 15) and is the most common chronic condition affecting children. Tyson wants to help raise awareness among parents of children with asthma that the disease does not need to get in the way of their child's goals. Chandler hopes his personal story will help dispel the myth that having asthma should limit physical activity.

This year the New Orleans Hornet is an ambassador for the Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA Skills Challenge. This nationwide competition sponsored by Merck & Co. Inc. allows boys and girls to test their fundamental basketball skills. The Skills Challenge runs from December 2008 to May 2009 and is free for boys and girls, ages 9 to 14. Participants will compete in a time-based, half-court obstacle course to demonstrate their fundamental basketball skills and physical fitness. The Jr. NBA/ Jr. WNBA Skills Challenge will feature more than 700 local, regional and national competitions. The goal of the competition is to generate enthusiasm around basketball. Materials will also be available to help educate parents about asthma control.

Eating Fish May Reduce Inflammation
