 Diet vs. Exercise
I am sure you have probably heard there are 2 main ways to achieve this goal; you either Eat Less, or Move More. So which one of these is the most effective way to lose weight and get healthy? I present the contenders for your weight-loss attention…
 Stop Wasting Your Time
This question might make you squirm, but let’s ask it anyway…
Are you getting the most out of your workout or wasting your time? It seems like a simple enough question, but let's take a step back and really take a look at your workouts and make sure you are getting the most out of each session.  Eat This Not That!
Are you eating these wrong foods?
I see it happen all the time…fat loss results that are trashed by eating the wrong foods. Please don’t let this be you. You exercise hard, so keep your results by avoiding these 7 foods:  Your Healthy Dessert Guide
Desserts are a delicious and fun part of life. Many family gatherings, parties and functions have amazing desserts to partake of. And what's summer without a scoop of ice cream to beat the heat?
Unless...you start working towards a fat loss goal. Then dessert becomes the enemy that pops up at birthday parties and get-togethers in the forms of cake, cookies, cupcakes and candy, tempting you to give in.  How To Achieve Your Unmet Goals
Do you have any unmet goals? If so, you aren’t alone. Most people are living with unfulfilled aspirations.
Unfortunately, many widely used self-help techniques fail to deliver results...until this approach.  Group workouts are beneficial to your health. There is something to be said about the power of working out in a group — but what is it about exercising with others that motivates us?
We tapped some experts on the topic and learned that when it comes to workouts, there’s some truth to the old adage, “There’s strength in numbers.”  How Do You Keep Weight Off?
Tell me if this sounds familiar to you. You put in weeks or months of dedicated, hard work in order to drop a significant number of pounds and fat for a special occasion; maybe a wedding, or party, or swimsuit season. But immediately after the big event is over, the incredibly easy (and frustrating!) reality sets in. Without your big event to motivate you, the pounds you worked so hard to lose are slowly creeping back on.
 Teaching Our Kids to Eat Healthier
Our kids are eating too much junk. And who can blame them? Junk food tastes great, and it is readily available everywhere. (Don't have kids? You can still keep reading because this goes for most adults as well ?)

When it comes to being healthy, there are two habits that will define your success; eating and exercise. In fact, everyone that you know who is in great shape has dialed in these two important habits.

In today’s fast paced world Americans as a whole consume almost 50% of our daily calories away from home. These less-than-wholesome calories are not only accumulating around our waists and making us sick, but they area also draining our bank accounts.
 Exercise with change your life.
I'm constantly telling you how important routine exercise is to your health and how so many of your health problems will improve or even disappear as the result of a consistent exercise program.
So why do I continue to give you the same lecture? 
Quite frankly, perfection is unattainable, and will always leave you falling short and feeling bad about yourself, especially if your goal is focused on someone else's "perfection". 
Many of my clients have asked for a magical tip to stick with their exercise plan, and I found the solution in an unlikely place: from the mind of Jerry Seinfeld.
