While it’s easy to ignore advice like that in the quote above, it’s a message that actually holds quite a bit of truth. Cancer is a disease we generally do everything we can to prevent, but it’s hard not to wonder exactly how much of an effect our efforts have in the face of its underlying causes. Fortunately, when it comes to skin cancer—the most common form of human cancer—the causes (particularly sun exposure) are often easier to see, and the preventive treatments (including sunscreen) are often easier to undertake. Just a few simple precautions every day can help you protect yourself from this disease and its debilitating effects. Unfortunately, the market for sun care products is cluttered and confusing, so let’s look at some information that might help ensure that your aerobic adventures in the sunshine aren’t hurting your skin while they’re helping your heart and muscles.

You may have noticed at your local gym that weight lifting is becoming tres a la mode among the spandex and sweatband set. Unfortunately, this upswing in resistance training also means an upswing in injuries. An article in the New York Times recently reviewed a study of weight lifting injuries over an 18-year period, which showed there were almost one million Americans who visited an emergency room, injured, as the result of weight lifting. Ninety percent of those injuries were attributed to free weights. While women were more likely to drop the weights, resulting in fractures, men were more apt to create strains or sprains. Either way, as fantastic as it is that people are realizing how much they can alter their bodies with a couple of dumbbells, it makes you feel like a dumbbell when you drop one on your foot.
So let’s look at 10 ways to avoid upping your insurance premium while still obtaining the physique of your dreams:

1. of 10. Warm up. Yes, you’ve heard “warm up before exercising” since junior-high PE class, although most of us looked at it as a way for lazy instructors to burn up class time. But are we really aware of the benefits of warming up before resistance training? Increased muscle and body temperature reduces the risk of strains and sprains, and also allows the muscle to contract more forcefully. Warming up creates less overall stress on the heart and activates your body’s natural cooling system, a.k.a. sweat, to prevent overheating. Warming up creates greater range of motion around a joint and helps us get mentally prepared for the task at hand. So take 5 minutes, jump on a treadmill, and give your muscles a chance to wake up. › Continue reading

What if I told you that you could easily lose 20 lbs today, no surgery, no tricks, or gimmicks. Would you take me up on it? Of course you would! But since that’s not possible, what if I told you that you could lose 20 lbs over the next 90 days? Would you take me up on it then? Some of you would, some of you wouldn’t. What’s the difference between the two? TIME. Some of you would act on the quick fix, and don’t want to spend the TIME necessary to obtain these results.
What if I could get you to lose just 2 lbs a week over the next 12 weeks, what would you have then? The answer: You’d have lost over 20 lbs. What if you continued down the same path, with no changes whatsoever? The answer: NOTHING. At the end of the 12 weeks, those that invested their TIME will have achieved success while those that did nothing gained weight or stayed the same. › Continue reading |
There are a lot of contradicting ideas—many of them misconceptions—about the best way to reshape your body. This is largely because there are a lot of trainers out there, each seemingly espousing a different fitness philosophy. In this article, we’ll examine an assortment of training strategies, bust a myth or two, and explain why interval training is generally the most efficient way to improve your fitness level.
Having just launched TurboFire, we dusted off this article that was first published when INSANITY came out. Since most Beachbody programs use some type of interval training, the information we lay out here is perfect most of our programs. › Continue reading

Beachbody has just upgraded their Meal Plan that comes included with their Beachbody Club Membership. First let me say that I have personally been a club member for 5 years. Having said that, I would not be a member of something I did not see VALUE in. I believe in the Beachbody Club and what is has to offer. When I joined the Club back in 2005, the customized Meal Plan helped me lose 30 lbs in 90 days! Crazy. For those of you that have dieted before, and lost a lb or two here and there, 30 lbs in 3 months seems insane. I didn’t do anything CRAZY, I didn’t starve myself, I didn’t workout 2-3 times a day. No fancy pills, no weight loss schemes. It was quite simple. Diet and Exercise. I started back then with Power 90. I was determined to lose weight, I ordered Power 90 and started a Club Membership. It was easy enough for me to “Push Play” on the DVD player. My problem was, I had no idea WHAT to eat. I had no concept of HOW MUCH to eat, and how to combine them all TOGETHER for weight loss. Since I was committed to losing weight, I signed up for the Club Membership. After signing up, I used the meal planner to get my CUSTOMIZED meal plan, and FOLLOWED it. 90 days and 30 lbs later, I was thoroughly IMPRESSED. That was THEN, and this is NOW. › Continue reading
My biggest challenge in life so far has been conquering my compulsive eating habit. I remember so clearly the hopelessness I felt because I had no control over my impulses. I would literally sit down to a pint of Häagen-Dazs® every day and swear that tomorrow I would start my diet. There are also vivid memories of me downing an entire bag of Chips Ahoy!® chocolate chip cookies and an entire big bag of Doritos®! I had those moments of sitting in my car, opening a jar of peanut butter, and polishing off almost half of it, and then driving to a fast food place for a burger and fries. And let’s not forget the CHEESE! I am a Cheesehead, after all, and I would eat blocks of it at a time. › Continue reading
Exercise is vital for everyone to ensure that a person stays healthy and doesn’t become overweight. With the amount of children who are being diagnosed as being obese steadily rising each year it’s no wonder that many parents are concerned with the amount of exercise their children should be doing. Whilst few parents would want to put their children on a workout program it is wise to have an idea of the types of exercise children should be doing.
