Cardio Exercise is Critical to Fat Loss!
I’m going to be very straight forward here: diet alone will not get you the ultimate body of your dreams. If you want a lean, toned, sexy body you absolutely need to incorporate both resistance training and cardio into your health regimen. I’ll save the resistance training discussion for another article, but for today I want to focus on the function of cardio training and why it is foundational to an optimal fat-loss program.
Beyond aiding in fat-loss, regular cardio training helps prevent a variety of diseases including heart attacks, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity. In addition to these health benefits you can also expect to have more energy, higher endurance, less stress, better sleep, and of course you’ll burn more calories per day and have an easier time controlling your weight.

How to Find Time for Fitness, Pt. 2
In part 2 of this series I cover how a healthy lifestyle can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars down the line, as well as greatly improve the quality of life you’ll experience as a senior. You’ll also find some clever, easy-to-follow methods anyone can use to fit in a quality workout even on the busiest of schedules!
By having improved time management skills and working more efficiently at your job, it can be clear that dealing with things like weddings, family issues and even the mortgage (you’ll probably get a raise now that you’re breakin’ necks and cashin’ checks!) will be much less time-consuming and easier on your body and mind. But perhaps the most important benefit of a healthy lifestyle is that of preventing the problems that plague most senior citizens in this country; diabetes, back issues, osteoporosis/arthritis, etc. Not only are these conditions painful, debilitating and downright depressing to go through, but they can be VERY expensive as well.

4 Exercises That Target the Inner and Outer Thighs
The inner and outer thighs are often the most frustrating problem areas for many women, due to the tendency for women’s bodies to store body fat there first and to burn it away from there last. When you combine this with the fact that most women do not effectively work these areas, it’s no wonder that—as you probably can relate—you’re left with flabby, soft, fatty tissue around the thighs instead of the lean, hard muscle that you’d like to be there!
While there is no way to spot reduce fat (your diet, not exercise, is the main determining factor in fat loss, and your body chooses where to remove the fat from), if you combine the effective, targeted exercises outlined below with a healthy nutrition plan designed to reduce body fat, you can vastly improve this area and be on your way to the tight, toned legs you’ve always dreamed of! Perform each exercise up to twice per week for optimal results and make sure to use a weight that allows you to only just achieve the targeted number of reps, but that you can still control safely.

Training for the Ultimate V-Taper!
One of the most jaw-dropping looks a weightlifter can achieve is a well-proportioned “v-taper.” From the capped-off width of the shoulders extending down a chiseled back to a streamlined waist, there’s nothing more impressive than a body that triangulates from wide shoulders to a slender waist, creating a body shape that drips with onlooker-envy.
The best way to achieve the v-taper is to follow a program designed specifically to accentuate the upper portion of your torso, while simultaneously slimming the lower portion. Below is a great workout that hits your shoulders, back and core all in one, and can be performed up to two times per week for optimal effect. This workout is equally effective for men and women, just adjust the weight to the maximum amount that you can control with good form. Continue Reading Training for the Ultimate V-Taper! »
