5 Tips to Lose Fat and Keep It Off | Hybrid Health and Fitness

This year utilize these 5 tips to reduce your fat percentage

measuring tape lose fatEvery year millions of people proclaim that for their New Year?s resolution they want to lose weight. As a health and fitness expert I tend to minimize the usage of the term ?lose weight?.

Why?

I don?t believe people should become too obsessive over a particular target weight. As long as you are exercising, which along with a proper diet is the BEST way to lose fat then you will be adding muscle mass. Lean muscle mass weights more than fat. One pound of fat occupies more space than one pound of muscle. Although you will be losing fat you will also be adding on more lean muscle mass becoming both slimmer and stronger!anatomy pic upper torso

So how do I shred fat and keep it off for good?

  1. Consistency ? Exercising in a consistent pattern is habit forming. Your body likes to be in a pattern so if you?regularly?work out 4-6 times per week for a few months it will become the ?new normal? for you. You will feel like garbage if you go a week without a workout.
  2. Workout Buddy ? Having a workout buddy doesn?t necessarily mean you work out together. It could be a friend or co-worker at your office that you walk to the gym with and go your separate ways during your workout. This way someone is holding you accountable. On the days when you feel like skipping the workout your workout buddy can help motivate you and vice versa when they are feeling low energy.
  3. Build Muscle ? Don?t fall into the ?fat burning trap? and think that the only way to lose fat is by doing cardio. A combination of resistance exercises (weights) AND cardio is the ticket to a smaller waistline! Muscle burns more calories at rest than fat does and therefore your metabolism will be increased.
  4. Decrease Alcohol ? Alcohol consumption is an often overlooked factor in those looking to lose weight and shave off fat. A big night of drinking can provide the equivalent of an entire daily caloric intake! Some of these extra calories can be stored as fat. Check out this previous post for a great example of how alcohol can affect your fat loss goals.
  5. Eating ? Those that skip breakfast are more likely to overeat later in the day. Look at your body like a furnace. It needs fuel to fire. Smaller more frequent meals are preferred over a massive dinner serving. While we are on the subject of food increase your vegetable, fruit, seed and nut intake while reducing your grain, dairy, and sugar intake. Eat pastured meat (animals that graze in a field as they were intended as opposed to grain fed ?super-farms?). Try and avoid processed foods and choose to make home cooked meals rather than prepared ones. Stop drinking pop too ? that stuff is nasty!

Follow these 5 tips and you will be on your way to a leaner body in the New Year! Do you have any tips I?ve missed? I?d love to hear about them below.

Disclaimer: As you can appreciate entire books have been written on proper dietary considerations. This post only briefly touched upon a few of the changes that are beneficial to fat loss.

Top list for 7 sites that funnel traffic to you | BetterNetworker.com

Ooh! Website Traffic. Gotta share this priceless list with you, internet marketing has been a real eye opener.

There's many ways to get website traffic to your website - but what ones do it organically and FREE?

it's good to start here, then move on to building an online budget for advertising. But here is where you'll see your website's worth - the kind money just can't buy.

Spread your influence, talent, gain recognition and build your business, by making sure these are referring website traffic to you:

1. Google 2. Youtube 3. Stumbleupon 4. Linkedin 5. Facebook 6. Twitter 7. Diggit - no link, just sign up *Bonus: Pingomatic - Ping-O-Matic is a service to update different search engines that your blog has updated.

The above websites to refer website traffic over for FREE. The key is once you publish your post, share it EVERYWHERE.

The beauty of having a Wordpress site hosted by Godaddy - is you can actually see your stats in the back office and where the traffic is coming from. The list above is in order of importance, honestly, some days Stumbleupon trumps Google in the numbers. Usually Google will come first, then Youtube - Google owns Youtube and though it's not a search engine, it's the 2nd most used site being utilized as one. From there, Linkedin comes next, because it's business focused, you can target groups you're in to share your post. Facebook is more social, it depends upon your audience there - friends or business? And last, Diggit is another bonus, it's like the newspaper version of Stumbleupon. All posts should be Pinged. A lot, yes? But well worth it. It doesn't cost a dime and blankets you EVERYWHERE, which brings creditability. It's the voice and referral you have to share without YOU saying it - which just looks good.

To your Prosperity!

The Challenge of Raising a Family | DisabilityLiving.ca

3302350307 e2b0ee77a8 m The Challenge of Raising a Family

Most people would agree with the idea that raising a family is a challenge in many ways. There is always a financial aspect to having children, as well as an emotional, relational, social, and educational aspect. There is no doubt that even the most healthy, well-off parents in the world have their fair share of struggles when it comes to raising a family.

?

This week Disability Living is blogging about parents with disabilities. What we are finding is that many people are unaware of individuals with disabilities? parenting capabilities. In fact, some are ignorant of the idea that people with disabilities could even be parents, thinking parenting would be too difficult for them. The truth is, parenting is difficult for all people, able-bodied or disabled.

?

What parenting challenges do people with disabilities face?

While everybody has some trouble navigating the waters of parenthood, individuals with disabilities may have specific difficulties. Just a few of these disability-specific challenges that are sometimes faced by parents who have limitations are:

?

? ?Physical exertion?

?

? Doing daily household tasks

?

? Transporting family members to school, work, etc.

?

? ?Participating in school events?

?

? Communicating with family members

?

? Making enough money

?

As you can imagine, some of these difficulties could also affect people who are able-bodied. Still, a few of these challenges are exclusive to those with disabilities (transportation-related issues and physical exertion, for example).

?

What are the unique victories experienced by parents with disabilities?

Parents with disabilities face unique struggles when it comes to raising a family, but they also experience unique victories. For example, children who have a parent with a disability are often very compassionate, resourceful, and open-minded. Also, parents with disabilities, often those who are unable to have a traditional job, may have more time to spend at home with family members.

?

What?s it like to be a parent who has a disability?

Are you a parent with a disability? If yes, great! We?d love to hear the unique struggles and victories you?ve faced as you have raised your family while having a disability. Leave a comment on this blog post and share with us today!

The aging immune system is more functional than previously believed

The aging immune system is more functional than previously believed [ Back to EurekAlert! ] Public release date: 13-Dec-2012

In a study published today in the Open Access journal PLOS Pathogens, scientists at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario have determined that a specialized class of immune cells, known as T cells, retains its functionality with age and can respond to virus infections with the same vigor as T cells from a young person. This is a valuable finding as it is generally believed that elderly individuals are at increased risk of infection because immunity deteriorates with age.

T cells play an important role in defending the body from virus infections. For a long time, researchers have believed that the elderly were at increased risk of infection due to a lack of T cells. However, new research led by Jonathan Bramson and a team of researchers from McMaster as well as the University of Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania has shown that, in fact, elderly individuals mount perfectly normal immune responses to virus infections. The researchers studied the immune response to 3 different viruses in young individuals and elderly individuals. They found that both the number of virus-fighting T cells and the functionality of the T cells were equivalent in both groups.

This research indicates that as humans age, our bodies retain the ability to mount robust T cell responses to new viruses, while maintaining immunity to viruses we have been exposed to in the past. These results have important implications for vaccination of elderly individuals. Current vaccines for the elderly are not designed to elicit T cells responses and this may explain the failure of the annual influenza vaccine to provide effective protection of elderly individuals. Ultimately, this research indicates that vaccines specifically designed to generate T cell immunity may be more effective at protecting elderly individuals from virus infections.
