Movement: Exhale as you pull the bar down towards your shoulders. Inhale as you slowly return the bar back up to the starting position. Repeat as required.

Fitness Tip: The Role Of Genetics In Weight Loss - Genetics play a part in a person’s metabolic rate and thyroid function which both impact on the body’s ability to burn fat efficiently. However, having overweight parents does not mean you are destined to a lifetime of obesity and disease.

This just means you have a little bit more work to do to train your body to burn fat more effectively. This means you can’t get away with cheat meals and skipping exercise as much as others can. It means you have to be more disciplined to get results.

At the end of the day, it comes down to making a conscious decision to adopt a health enhancing lifestyle, and you will soon enjoy the benefits.

Fitness Tip: Losing Weight And Keeping It Off - Despite decades of research, we still don’t fully understand why some people gain weight more easily than others, and also have greater trouble losing excess weight.

It is known that body fat levels are increasing in America, along with the rest of the developed world (and increasingly in the developing world too). For example, in 1990 fewer than 10% of Australian adults were obese, while in 2001 the corresponding figure was more than 16%. In 2003 the Worldwatch Institute reported that, possibly for the first time in human history, the number of overweight individuals worldwide rivals the number of underweight.

Chia, is familiar to most of us as a seed used for the novelty of the Chia Pet™, clay animals with sprouted Chia seeds covering their bodies. Little is known, however, of the seeds tremendous nutritional value and medicinal properties. For centuries this tiny little seed was used as a staple food by the Indians of the south west and Mexico. Known as the running food, its use as a high energy endurance food has been recorded as far back as the ancient Aztecs. It was said the Aztec warriors subsisted on the Chia seed during the conquests. The Indians of the south west would eat as little as a teaspoon full when going on a 24hr. forced march. Indians running form the Colorado River to the California coast to trade turquoise for seashells would only bring the Chia seed for their nourishment.

Fitness Tip: Meat Is Not The Only Good Source Of Protein - While meat is a good source of protein, egg whites, cheese and seafood also contain this nutrient. Protein is present in plant foods, too, although in incomplete form meaning they are missing one or more essential amino acids.

However, if you pair legumes and grain (beans and rice, peanut butter on whole-wheat bread), grains or nuts with dairy products (macaroni and cheese, pizza, cereal and milk), you can make a complete protein.

Fitness Tip: Why Most Diets Are Nutrient Deficient - First, remember that as a society, our dietary habits have changed over the past couple of generations. A healthy diet consists of plenty of fruits and vegetables and whole grains.

Recent studies indicate that the majority of meals in the US are eaten in restaurants rather than in the home. Restaurant food tends to be too high in fat and sugar. Additionally, convenience foods now make up a much higher percentage of the average diet than in the past.

In some people well over 60% of their food is from so-called “empty” calorie foods (candy, sweets, chips, or other highly processed foods that contain very little real nutritional value other than calories).Another factor is the high stresses found in today’s fast-paced and busy life. The greater the external stresses, the higher the nutritional demands on the body.

Eating a poor-quality diet robs you of the nutritional factors necessary to help you stay healthy.Lastly, many people are simply unaware of how to shop for healthy foods. Convenience and taste become the major criteria for food selection, while nutritional value is given little attention, if any at all.

Many nutritional researchers point to the rising problems of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other diseases of modern society as evidence of the deteriorating quality of the diet most people consume.

Fitness Tip: Are Minerals Safe To Take? - While the levels of most vitamins and minerals recommended by your health care practitioner is considered safe, remember that too much of anything can be potentially harmful.

Even such life-sustaining things as water and sunlight have an upper limit of safety. While certain minerals such as calcium are generally quite safe even when taken in relatively high amounts, your body’s requirements for other minerals such as iron or selenium are much lower and therefore have a smaller safety range as well.

Be sure and inform your health care provider of all supplements, herbs or medications you are taking so the optimal levels can be determined for you, including an adequate safety margin.
