In our last health news update, we mentioned a new weight loss supplement designed to help lower cholesterol and fight obesity. View it [here]
I enjoy looking around the blogosphere for interesting updates; not just for health and fitness related content but for social media sites, blogging and so on.
According to Sohood magazine, Ubisoft announced that My Weight Loss Coach for the Nintendo DS system is available in stores. Time sure are changing, our fitness tools apparently are as well.
What happen to the good old fashion training? whatever that is- you get the point.
Features of the My Weight Loss Coach:
- Real life Landmarks as checkpoints
- Personal profiles
- The Pedometer
- Inward reward system
Lastly, what really stood out was the overall aim of this system; encourages people to take positive toward maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This is what I envision for “Beyond A Diet.â€
No lofty promises or quick fixes, even though our culture conditions us to desire the easy way out. Healthy lifestyle living!
I stumbled upon this list of 5 reasons to exercise in the evening. I don’t agree with the point concerning the gym; gyms are packed during the evenings.
- Avoid the rush, no pressure to make an appointment or work related meeting.
- Workout buddy, people are usually free during this time.
- Help to clear your mind before sleep.

Excellent post- I’ll be a subscriber in a moment.
I personally get better results with the least amount of external motivation (no one yelling at me or guiding me through a fitness game). My goal is for lasting fitness and from what I’ve seen among my peers, once the class is over, or the novelty wears off, or the drill sergeant is out of the room, back they go to their old habits. Eat less and move more- that’s all I’ve been doing.
Thanks Steve! I’m able to feed off of the energy of others but I don’t need help with motivation. I know how to charge myself up!
It’ s nice to see others that are in this thing for the long haul, lasting fitness- lifestyle! Interesting point about the boot camp, this is why I find it necessary to view health and fitness as a process not a event; because when all the hype is gone, what remains?
