Is Any Tan Safe

Tanning is becoming very popular but is it safe. There has been research done saying that the chances of getting skin cancer are greater with tanning. Skin cancer comes from mutating cells in our DNA with is more likely to happen from UV rays from tanning in a tanning bed or outside in the sun. Before tanning go over risking and follow instructions to a T. There is only a certain amount of time you should be in a tanning bed per year and in the sun. So be sure that perfect golden brown tan is worth the risk and if it is safe tanning too you!

Food Diary

If you have been doing any type of reading then you most likely have heard that one of the best ways to help lose those pounds is to start a Food Diary. I have heard about this for a while but never took the leap for some reason up to about two weeks ago. All I can say is WOW! It helps tremendously! The most important part of losing weight is your diet and if your are planning to splurge on that cake or snickers bar ( we all do it from time to time) this makes me turn away most the time from my unscheduled splurge days. When you have to many of those splurges on your Diary it may make you work that much harder in gym or stay away from them more often. I am definitely a fan of a Food Diary now and would recommend that you try it as well.

Lunch Recipe: Turkey Pita

I enjoy this meal and it can be ready in less than 3 min. You will need a whole wheat pita, slice of turkey breast, baby spinach and honey mustard. Place your pita in microwave with slice of turkey on top for 30 seconds. Then place your baby spinach and honey mustard on pita, then enjoy! You have a health meal in just minutes. That helps me from snacking on something that is not good for my diet because you can make this meal so quickly. This meal is health, good and give you body so key nutrients that will go well with your diet and workout plan.

Reduce Stress Less Belly

Reducing stress can help with the build up fat forming around the mid section. It can be easier said than done, with all the curve balls that life throws your way! Regular exercise can help reduce stress. Try to exercise at least 30 min a day 5 days a week. Get away from what ever is stressing you out for at least 30 min a day. The 30 min you can be exercising or just relaxing for a while. I say finally you need to find something fun to get involved in. ''Laugh is good all the time and all the time laugh is good''. One of my favorite sites on reducing stress here. Take a look for more information on reducing stress.

Gym In A Ball

I would tell anyone starting a work out that if you cant get a gym membership or afford weights etc. Get a exercise ball! It takes up practically no space, you can work every body part and it is only about $15.00 or less. I use it mostly for my abs. The exercise ball is one of the best ways to work you abs from what recent studies have shown. I have worked my whole body with one before and I got a great workout with it. Time, money or space is not an issue with a exercise ball. Since you are lifting or working out on a big ball, you will burn calories, build muscle and it will help with stability.This is something I think should be incorporated in your workout plans

Stay Away From The Scale

From talking and knowing people working out this quick fix problem that may help with your motivation. Your weight will fluctuate up and down a little. So by getting on that scale everyday and being a pound down then the next day 2 pounds up will drive you nuts. Just stick to your diet and work out regularly and you will drop the pounds. I recommend getting on the scale every two weeks. Seeing your weight drop a few pounds every couple weeks will make you feel better than watching it bounce up and down daily. Let your clothes do the talking. Weigh yourself and take your measurements. Stick to your work out plan and in two weeks before you step on that scale you will have noticed those jeans fitting a little loser and loser as the weeks go on.
