yogateaandabetterme: skinny-flower: th3skinny: thedisbeliever: healthyladylumps: If this isn’t motivation to shed those extra pounds, I don’t know what is. HUGE motivation. I’d venture to guess that this data is based on obese or morbidly obese patients — not those within the normal weight range. So if you’re 124 lbs looking to weigh 110, I wouldn’t exactly expect your asthma to disappear. But for those who are overweight or obese, this is definitely true and a great motivator! (via imgTumble) what if asthma is a hereditary thing? :B can anyone answer me that? :l

Yay! I finally reached goal one. I’m not quite down a size yet. Partly because a was bigger than the size I was using but I can feel a difference in the way my clothes fit. Next goal weight I will probably post some during pics.

girlgrowingsmall: why-thecagedbird-sings: I encourage you all to take your measurements and see how they change instead of relying on the scale. Especially those of you who are in a plateau/not seeing the numbers change! Note: If you are able to, get someone to take your measurements for you! I used to have a friend come over once a month specifically for measurements. (We’d hang out after and on other days, of course, but the measuring was scheduled.) But for certain areas, it can really help to have someone there to make sure that the measure is level all around and in the right places.

Yay, only three pounds away from my first goal weight!

Sneaking in some cardio on my lunch! Santa Monica weather is just perfect. I do wish I didn’t have to commute four hours each day though. Oh well, no excuses!!

Studies have shown that runners have better sex. Sex counts as a cross-training workout, which in turn makes you a better runner, which – hello! – leads to even better sex. Really, the whole thing is full of win-wins.

Jillian Michaels: 10 Fitness Tips

healthyisfabulous:

1. Exercise does more than just tone your body, it boosts self esteem, improves mood and revs up metabolism.  So suck it up and get moving!

 2. If you are looking to shed those last stubborn pounds, you need to increase the intensity of your workouts. Try working at 85% of your Maximum Heart Rate for optimal results.
3. Getting bored with that same old exercise routine?  Chances are you body is too.  It’s probably time to switch things up if you want to continue seeing results.  
 4. Using proper form when working out is the key to getting the results you want and preventing injuries.  Think quality over quantity.  Take the time to perfect your form in order to get the results you want and keep your body healthy and strong.  
 5. Do not exercise on an empty stomach.  This way you’ll have energy during your workouts and you will burn fat instead of muscle. 
 6. Don’t over do it.  When starting out consult your physician.  Work to beginner / intermediate levels.  Stay at around 70% of your MHR. IN a couple of weeks or so as you become stronger and more fit begin to up your intensity for best results.
 7. For results fast try circuit training.  This is an exercise technique that utilizes a series of moves in swift succession with no rest in between.  For example: Push ups into squats followed by jumping jacks.  This method allows your workouts to strengthen while burning fat at the same time.
 8. To ramp up your fitness regimen try incorporating a technique called HIIT or High Intensity Interval Training.  This simply means working short bouts (30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, 2 minutes) of cardio into your strength training routine.  
 9. Six pack abs are not about crunches.  You simply CAN NOT spot reduce fat.  The best way to get the washboard tummy is by burning the fat off on top of the muscle with a combination of diet, cardio, and over all resistance training.
 10. When you are on the treadmill don’t hold on.  If you hold on while walking or jogging it decreases the intensity thus decreasing your calorie burn by up to 24%
