Easy tips for weight loss

Two of the easiest tips to make a difference in weight loss, I have learned and share with my friends is:
1. Set a timer every 45 mins to an hour and drink a glass or bottle of ice water! Try to have one right away when waking, it kickstarts your metabolism!
2. Buy a pedometer and track your steps- goal is 10, 000 steps a day. By walking this you are walking 3-4 miles which if you do every day will at the very least usually maintain your weight if you eat the same. Usually, your weight will start dropping.  You may need to work your way to 10K, anything and everything is better!  Buy the cheap ones as you will lose and misplace them. I have about 2-4 at any given time, cheapies from walmart. Also, the new Ipod has one on there. 

These two things require little to no effort so try them and let me know what you think!

Legs , Glutes and Abs

Yesterday , I took off from exercise and today was going on another day of laziness but my girlfriend jokingly mentioned getting fat again to me, so I looked at the pedometer I try to wear each day and I was at 7, 000 steps. I needed 3K more, so I jumped a bit on the trampoline and then decided to try this new video I ordered Perfect legs, Glutes and Abs by Michelle Olson, PhD.I  bought the video from www.collagevideo.com   I like to buy all of my video's there because you can try them for 30 days and return them if you don't like them and read other people's reviews.   OMG, OMG- 5 minutes in and I was sweating like a dog and ready to quit!  LoL There are various sections but today I did a warm up about 2 mins and then Mega Moves Legs and Glutes about 20 mins and Mega move Abs about 5 mins..forget the cool down..towards the end on the legs I didn't make it and did about every other ab move. I was sweating crazily with the fan blowing right on me!!! This video is really very very good! You need dumbells and you will feel it!!!It is a high recommend.  Has anyone tried Flirty girl fitness, brazillian butt lift or turbofire?
