How to Overcome Your Weight Loss Plateau

The typical human form is capable of achieving a number of incredible feats that seem to suspend or defy the way science tells us things work. Athletes, through sheer willpower, can end up lifting something that their bodies should not be able to without suffering anything worse than muscle spasms. People can adapt to extreme physical trauma caused by a car accident and defy predictions that they'll never walk again. While, in general, these amazing feats are useful in a number of situations, there are physical reactions that some people look upon with quite a bit of disfavor. Among these “disfavored reactions” is something known as a “weight loss plateau.”

Giving Up the Weight Loss Obsession

Have you ever experienced a memory so vivid that you feel liked it just happened yesterday? You know what I mean. You are sitting on a bus and you hear some music from the earphones of the person next to you. Suddenly you are transported to a different time and place, without ever leaving your chair. The following story is a memory from over 30 years ago. It wasn't romantically triggered by music, though- it was triggered by the smell of chlorine, while cleaning my bathroom.

Fitness - Built For Action

Consider: the Stone Age is now thousands of years back in the past. With every passing era, early man took changing centuries in his stride. Like all animals, he was created to be on his feet.

To Be Fit Is Your Natural Right

The god within you.

Earlier, if somebody had asked us, "What does fitness mean to you?" we'd have answered, "An exercised, well-tuned body." Those were the days when we had just sniffed at the exhilarating potential of fitness and had begun to enjoy the tautness of a muscle and the actual feeling of physical well-being. Today, we'd add on a few more qualities. "Fitness," we'd say, "is a well worked-out body, a feeling of total 'wellness, a mind free of agitation, a sense of being spiritually at peace and a pleasant, invigoratingly lively attitude towards life." To that: we'd further add, "Tuning totally into the natural forces within and without you."

Burn More Fat - How to Burn More Fat

Burn the fat, Feed the Muscle is probably the best book I’ve read in my life. Why would a guy who’s already dropped nearly 300 pounds want to buy and read a book about burning fat? Because I believe in constant and never-ending improvement.

Themselves? you may ask. Think. How many times has somebody told you, "You look like a washed-out dish rag"? Once? Twice? Three times? or perhaps, never?

Dealing with Cellulite - How do I get rid of cellulite

Cellulite is a normal human variation that is viewed by a segment of the public (with the help of the media, some physicians, and salesmen of various sorts) as some sort of a disease. The term "cellulite" was coined in 1973 to refer to the dimpled appearance of the skin that some people have on their hips, thighs, and buttocks. This appearance is much more common in women than in men because of differences in the way fat, muscle, and connective tissue are distributed in men and women's skin. Although female hormones may play a role in contributing to this fat distribution, cellulite is not treatable by hormone therapy.
