Free Weight loss book and course

post from Fitness Health and Diet Tips on 24 July 2007 11:33:00 PM. © Fitness Health and Diet Tips

Are you looking for new weight loss information? I was fortunate enough to get a hold of some great weight loss materials and I want to offer it free to the people that read my blog. All I ask is that if you have not signed up for my 21 day fitness email mini course that you do that now.

So here are the free weight loss products:

Free Email Fitness Course
Jon Benson, the creator of Fit Over 40 is offering a free 10 day course on how to lose 10 pounds in a week. This offer is apparently only good for a couple of more days. The info is gold and even if you have been through my email course you will still learn a lot from Jon. What does this include? Well Jon is including the following stuff in this 10 day weight loss program.
* FREE 10-Day Fat-Burning E-Course (Starting Today!)
* Two ?Mystery Gifts? worth over $180!
* A FREE Chapter Sample from my book, ?Fit Over 40?!
* My FREE Weekly Newsletter, ?Success For Life!?

Free Fat Loss Workout Ebook
The second product is a (right click and same the link) free weight loss ebook that was created by Craig Ballantyne, the creator of Turbulence Training. I reviewed the Turbulence Training program a few days ago but Craig just offered to let me give you a very extensive overview of the Turbulence Training program. The weight loss Ebook includes a full weightlifting program of four weeks including pictures of how to do the exercises.

I am very excited to offer these free weight loss tools to. Both are free but I have a lot of free crap sitting on my computer. These are very good fat loss resources and I am sure you will see the value.

Again all I ask is that if you have not signed up yet that you sign up for my 21 day fitness program and if you have any questions on any of this please email me.

Robotic Arms help make heart sugery safer

post from The Cardio Blog on 24 July 2007 06:57:00 PM. © The Cardio Blog

Filed under: Surgery

Sometimes I cluck in dismay when I'm at the supermarket and see the self-serve check-outs. I mean, they're convenient and all but it sometimes seem like we're destined to become the robot society that was made light of in the 60s. How long until everything is run by computers?

But when it comes to surgery--where the steadiness of a surgeons hand is a matter of life and death--the use of robotic arms to treat patients with atrial fibrillation (abnormal heartbeat) shows promise. So far, 20 operations have been performed on patients in Britain, and each has been highly successful. So while the momentum that technology is gaining can sometimes be frightening, it's also really exciting what the future can hold for us.

Is the Master Cleanser pulp fiction

Filed under: Type 2, Adult Onset, Diet, Books

The Master Cleanser Detox raises my curiosity to insatiable levels. Many stars have sworn by it - from Beyonce Knowles to Robin Quivers. The misconception behind the safety of this practice for weight loss is reviewed by a registered dietician on The Diet Channel. The Master Cleanser is by no stretch of the imagination a healthy way to lose weight. In fact, the Master Cleanser, otherwise known as the Lemonade Diet, is a complete body detoxifying cleanse that has been around for over 60 years.

The Master Cleanser is a combination of simple ingredients in different combinations throughout the day: organic sea salt, water, lemons, syrup, cayenne pepper and a laxative tea. The day begins with a quart of salt water, followed by interval consumption of several cups of homemade lemonade throughout the day. The lemonade contains fresh squeezed lemons and water, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup. The lemon juice is said to dissolve built-up waste in the colon (the master cleansing agent); the cayenne pepper is for ridding the body of mucus; and the maple syrup is for energy. The end of the day includes a detoxifier herbal tea laxative. The herbal laxative is to aid the elimination process and the salt water acts as a colonic flush. The author of the original plan recommends following the diet for a minimum of 10 days, but also says that the diet can be followed for up to 20 days.

On Friday I went to Borders to get my hands on a copy of the Mater Cleanser. Big mistake after I realized it was the debut of the latest Harry Potter book. I should've called! In any event - I forfeited fighting Gryffindors and Hogwarts to find the book. I returned home to scour the internet for personal reviews of the Master Cleanser. The most important thing I discovered was that people who use the Master Cleanser to lose weight are misinformed. The Master Cleanser is intended for ultimate toxin elimination - not weight elimination. For entertaining enlightenment - I strongly suggest reading the Amazon.com customer reviews!!

Exercise of the Week: Hanging Leg Raises

Filed under: Prevention, Exercise

With Tuesday almost coming to a close, I have to hurry to get my Exercise of the Week post in on time (or else the Weblogs editor will show me the true meaning of deadline). I'm running somewhat behind schedule because I spent a little while longer than usual at the gym tonight, working my abs with an exercise I'd now like to share with all of you.

It's called the Hanging Leg Raise, and it's arguably the single-best exercise you can do to work your abdominals. Unlike crunches and other popular ab movements that mostly target only the upper abs, Hanging Leg Raises target your whole midsection -- with particular emphasis placed on your lower abs. Now, before we go further, let's talk briefly about those very same lower abs. You know, the part of your tummy that never seems to tone up, no matter how much you diet, how much cardio you do, or how many ab exercises you bang out. You may even have a solid four-pack going on, but for some crazy reason, you can't seem to get a full six. The reality is that to truly get a flat and toned lower abdominal region, you have to reduce your body fat. This is especially true for men, as it is in this area that we collect the most fat.

But, leaving diet and cardio tips out of it for now, let's focus on how we can tone the muscles in your lower abs themselves. This way, when you do lower your body fat, you'll have the rest of your six pack already there waiting for you!! Alright, enough talking...let's get moving.

To perform Hanging Leg Raises, place an overhand grip on a sturdy chin-up bar. Make sure that your feet are at least a few inches off the floor when you are fully extended. Keep your legs straight and your feet touching each other throughout the movement. Next, using the strength of your abdominal muscles, lift your legs straight out in front of you until your feet are about even with your eyes. It's actually best to allow your lower back to "roll" a small bit during this motion, but you do not want to start a swinging motion. In fact, if you find yourself sort of swinging back-and-forth like a kid on monkey bars, just wait in the extended position until your body stops swinging and then resume the leg raise movement.

This is a pretty difficult exercise to do, so don't be discouraged if you can only do a few -- or even none at all -- at first. For beginners, you may want to try doing this movement while using what's known as a Roman Chair (basically, it's the thing in the gym that looks like a tennis judge's seat...only without the seat, if that makes even an iota of sense). Or, if you still find even that to be too difficult (which is very possible. Like I said, it's not an easy exercise to do), you can try lying flat on your back on the floor or thin exercise mat. Place your hands underneath your lower back for stability and perform repetitions of lifting your legs up until your feet point at the ceiling and then lowering them until your feet are about six inches off the ground.
