The Christmas Guide to Workout DVDs
Christmas morning. You tear off the wrapping paper to reveal the newest workout DVD, the front cover bearing the lean, leotard-clad body of an ex-soap star or TV presenter with blow-dried hair and veneers. Of course, every workout DVD worth its salt boasts a ‘before’ shot showing just how pale and miserable the celebrity was before she shed the baby-weight (and discovered fake tan) – to reassure you that they, too, are Real Women. The promises are tempting, like the half-empty box of Celebrations at your side. Hard to believe that all the secrets of a coveted dress size are contained within one shiny disc! From January 1st you diligently perform the routines, spurred on by the defined abs of the Real Woman on screen – until approximately January 4th work kicks back in.

You Can’t Out-Exercise A Bad Diet
You can’t out-exercise a bad diet. Yes, exercise is great for your overall health and fantastic for weight loss, but if your diet is horrible – you still won’t be able to lose weight. I have had clients who continued to snack on junk food and drink beer on the weekends. They thought it wasn’t that big of a deal and they didn’t think that the calories would add up. Guess again! Those calories really do add up, and ultimately will cost you your weight loss success. Exercise regularly. Eat healthy consistently (perhaps you’ll find that the 90/10 rule works for you). Believe you will achieve your overall health goals. You will see results! Slow and steady wins the race, right? ;) Feel free to follow us, however you...

Read MoreWhat is the Paleo Diet?
The Paleo Diet Most nutrition enthusiasts know that cutting grains, dairy, processed foods, sugar, and more out of your diet will, most likely, lead to weight loss. This is the goal of many diets. Would it surprise you if the Paleo Diet claimed to do this too? Or, perhaps you wonder if the Paleo Diet does it in a more, or less, healthy way than other diets? Read on to find out!
