		<description><![CDATA[This is a guest post by Mike, a fellow blogger and my good buddy. Hope you&#8217;ll find this article useful. Enjoy! Benefits of travel include the opportunity to see new places and experience new cultures and traditions. On the flipside, travel comes with the strain of changing schedules, irregular mealtimes and busy days that leave little time for fitness. Sadly, frequent travelers tend to experience poor health, and those who spend 20 or more days away from home each month are much more likely to struggle with obesity than those who travel less than one week each month. Fortunately, you can turn unhealthy, stressful travel into a more positive and healthy experience by planning ahead and paying attention to fitness opportunities. A great trip begins before you leave home. If possible, do a little research about your destination before leaving. Learn what local running trails or tracks are near your hotel and might be open to the public. Find out if your health club allows you entrance into a gym at your destination. If you are booking your own accommodations, look for a fitness-friendly hotel that features in-room yoga and fitness videos, a well-equipped fitness center, fitness sessions for guests or other such amenities. On a recent trip to Maui I was able to book incredible accommodations by searching through a travel reviews site beforehand. I was given a list of Maui hotels where I could scroll through and see which ones have a 24-hour fitness center. This was great for the overall experience of the trip. Pack for fitness as well. Make sure you bring comfortable, loose-fitting clothes you can wear to work out. If your hotel has a swimming pool, pack a suit you can use to splash around in the water while relaxing in the evenings. Always take along a refillable water bottle to help you remain hydrated, as this is a great way to maintain fitness as well as avoid purchasing drinks full of caffeine or sweeteners. Finally, consider bringing portable exercise equipment such as an exercise band that will assist you in getting a powerful workout with minimal space and time requirements. En route to your destination, you can get a little exercise. Take time during any flight to do some stretching and chair exercises. On long flights, be sure to rotate through these exercises once every hour or so in order to eliminate many of the discomforts experienced by travelers. Throughout your trip, keep in mind that you need to take advantage of seemingly small opportunities for fitness. Take the stairs instead of an elevator or escalator whenever possible. In the morning, get up 15 to 20 minutes early and take a short run or do some yoga before breakfast. Every little bit counts, and it all adds up to a healthier you. &#160; Image credit: datingsymbol.com<div class='yarpp-related-rss'>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a guest post by one of my blogging buddies, Marcela. And I hope you&#8217;ll find it useful. Enjoy! Regardless of your health and fitness goals, increasing muscle mass should be a common goal for everyone who is looking to decrease overall body fat. Increasing lean muscle improves resting metabolism, as muscle uses more calories than fat does. For those looking to significantly improve muscle mass, we recommend that you include a weight-lifting program, ideally designed by a trainer, to target areas of growth. Looking to lean out and build muscle? Add in cardio as well to torch calories and fat (try high intensity interval training), but make sure you include strength-training exercises to maintain and build on existing muscles. Not only is an exercise program important to your muscle-gaining goals, but proper nutrition also plays an integral part. Including foods high in protein are key, and a given; but certain other foods that made this list may surprise you. 1. Eggs are considered the perfect protein source for people looking to increase lean mass and decrease fat. Calorie for calorie, your body can better absorb and utilize the protein in eggs than from any other source, which means more of it is able to be used to build muscle. We’re not just talking about the egg whites, even though that’s where you will find the most protein. The yolk, however, contains vitamin B12, necessary for breaking down fat and muscle function, along with fat, which assists in the absorption of the various fat-soluble vitamins found in the wondrous egg. Best of all? Eggs are a very inexpensive food source, making it the all around star in a muscle builder’s diet. 2. Beef, unsurprisingly, shows up on this list. An excellent source of protein, beef also provides vitamin B12 to aid in muscle development. A major source of iron, zinc, and creatine, lean cuts of beef or low-fat ground beef are considered an extremely important to building muscle. If you’re looking for an extra boost beyond food sources, or just trying to avoid red meat, creatine supplements have shown success in increasing lean muscle mass. 3. Almonds are known for being an excellent source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps prevent free-radical damage, in the form that&#8217;s best absorbed by your body. Protection against damage decreases muscle breakdown post-workout. In order to build muscle, you need to store more protein than your body breaks down. Almonds are also an excellent source of magnesium, a mineral that is needed for protein production and for energy regulation. 4. Packed with protein and important omega-3 fatty acids, salmon is one of the many types of fish that should be on a muscle builder’s diet. Omega-3s, like vitamin E, battles free-radical damage, which helps protect existing muscles and can decrease post-workout recovery time. Additionally, salmon is an excellent source of vitamin D. Omega-3 protects all muscles, including the heart, so be sure to incorporate it through food sources or via fish oil [...]<div class='yarpp-related-rss'>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a guest post by Jordan Spindler. And I hope you&#8217;ll find it useful. Enjoy! Women today are more committed than ever to achieving total wellness through physical fitness. As studies continue to confirm the idea that athletic activity is really the key to overall health and longevity, women are asking more and more questions about what kinds of workouts really suit them best. Choices, Choices, Choices The incredible enthusiasm for winning workout routines has led to the increasing popularity of two fitness approaches in particular: indoor cycling and running. Both of these workout disciplines provide great results when practiced regularly, and both offer certain simplicity in the gear required. Spinning shoes are a must for the serious indoor cyclist (though picking the right brand can be tricky), and good running shoes are essential for a solid running experience. Beyond that, all that’s really needed to practice these sports are comfortable workout clothes and a will to really achieve a higher level of fitness. Both indoor cycling and running are proven means towards improved health and wellness. Yet how do these sports stack up against each other? What are the benefits? Do they bring on more than a good workout by empowering the woman athlete? Let’s take a look. Convenience One aspect of working out is convenience. This is a significant issue, as exercises that aren’t practiced offer no benefit at all, obviously. Though running and indoor cycling both provide a solid workout, indoor cycling classes, unlike running, can be practiced in any kind of weather, which is a real benefit during the winter months. Calories Burned Weight loss is obviously a huge motivator for women seeking the right workout plan. How do these two workouts stack up, as far as calories burned? Experts say that runners can burn off up to 600 calories in an hour, if they really stay motivated. Indoor cyclists can also burn close to that level of calories, so the two workouts are closely aligned in that sense. What’s really critical is that the athlete sticks with the program and keeps pushing. Indoor cycling classes provide motivation through the group dynamic, which is a true benefit. Impact on Joints Indoor cycling is a low-impact exercise that provides a great workout without putting stress on joints. This is an important benefit, as running, which a great workout, can cause injuries if not practiced with care. Indoor cycling, due to its low-impact quality, is highly recommended for women who suffer from arthritis or joint pain. Social Benefits Running and indoor cycling offer different kinds of social benefits. Running is often a solitary sport, but it does offer an outdoor experience, which can be incredibly pleasant on a beautifully clear day. Some runners struggle with staying motivated, however, as the solitary aspect of running can make it hard to keep pushing forward. Spinning classes, on the other hand, provide a social atmosphere, as classes take place in groups, with a trainer running the class and providing ongoing [...]<div class='yarpp-related-rss'>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a guest post by Kristen and hope you&#8217;ll enjoy and learn something from it. Morning sickness is a condition which often happens during the first trimester of a woman’s pregnancy. A feeling of nausea or want of vomiting takes place which usually lasts the first few hours in the morning and subsides as the day goes on. A woman also develops sensitivity to certain smells which give rise to the sensation. It’s a good idea during this time to read up on some Diet Brand Reviews &#8211; Dukan Diet for more information on what to eat and avoid. While it may be difficult to completely eliminate morning sickness, there are ways in which its effects may be reduced or controlled: Sleep well: A good night’s rest is absolutely vital for a mother-to-be and her baby. Drink herbal tea before bed and try to avoid any strenuous mental activity at least half an hour before sleeping at night. You can also get special pillows for the maternity months which will help provide additional support to your back and neck. Getting good rest will help minimize the effects of morning sickness the next day. Crawl out of bed at a leisurely pace: When you wake up, don’t jump out of bed with a start. Take your time- open your eyes and keep lying there for a few minutes. You can use this time to plan out your day or just meditate in peace. Even if you are late, don’t rush and hurry out of bed. Have a soothing alarm tone- not something that will wake you up with a jolt. Eat small meals at regular intervals: Instead of having 3 big meals, eat small meals at regular intervals so as to keep your tummy full. If your stomach is empty, the digestive juices will add to the nausea effect and increase the morning sickness feeling. Eat foods that will help you feel fuller for longer. You can get more information from Diet Brand Reviews &#8211; Dukan Diet. Foods rich in fibre, such as fresh vegetables and fruits are your best bet. Also, foods rich in protein will take longer to digest, and will keep your tummy full for longer. You can try lentils, chick peas, lean meats, such as chicken and fish as well. In addition, these foods are healthy and essential for the proper growth of your baby. Avoid junk food: oily or spicy food or most street food will increase your chances of indigestion and cause bloating as well as nausea. Don’t eat very heavy food which has been deep fried in animal fat. Read up more in some Diet Brand Reviews &#8211; Dukan Diet. It’s good to consume such foods in moderation to avoid getting your stomach upset. It’s also a good idea to avoid too much caffeine, so excess coffee or aerated drinks should be kept to a minimum in order to help reduce the acidity in your stomach. Pregnancy is a wonderful time in every [...]<div class='yarpp-related-rss'>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a guest post by Sarah G., a health and fitness enthusiast just like me. Enjoy! We all know how important exercise is for your health. If you have a very busy workday that does not give you much time to exercise, don’t worry! There are many ways to incorporate it in your schedule. You can start by multi-tasking. During Weekdays People working as professionals are often very busy that they sometimes cannot include exercise in their daily schedule. In reality, there are plenty of opportunities to include physical activity even on a workday. If your office is located just a few blocks from your house, why not try to ride a bike instead of driving your car? By doing this, you can get your daily exercise, save on gas money, and avoid potential traffic jams. I encourage you to try this, you’ll never know, you might actually enjoy it! If it’s impossible for you to ride a bike to go to work, there is another way you can squeeze in a few more minutes to exercise. I suggest you park your car in a spot that is a little bit far from your office. This will allow you to walk for 10-15 minutes to get to the office and back to your car. If you get to work early, take the stairs instead of the lift. Climbing a flight of stairs is a good exercise. It will tone your legs, strengthen your core, and improve your stamina over time. Exercising before going to work creates a game-on state of mind, so that you can get more out of your work day. Waking up 20 minutes earlier to do these exercises will surely be worth it. During Weekends Busy people usually see weekends as their rest days. Why do something tiring on a weekend, if you’ve been swamped with work all week long? Well, the irony is that the busier you are, the more you should exercise. In fact, regular exercise can boost your mood and your energy so you won’t feel exhausted all the time. You’ll also have extra energy to do other fun activities on the weekend. Do house chores. Start with cleaning your room and move on to larger spaces. You can also try DIY repairs around the house. This will surely make you sweat and make you feel good about yourself for having accomplished something. Besides, it will be easier for you to relax in a house that is clean and neat! If you have a dog, take him for a walk in the park. Aside from making you both fit and healthy, it can also serve as a bonding opportunity with your beloved pet. Engage your family in sports. Play games with your kids or your spouse. Other than giving you a chance to exercise, it will also serve as chance to spend quality time with them. Exercise while watching TV. You can do this more efficiently by using work out machines, like treadmills [...]<div class='yarpp-related-rss'>
