Here is a very cool freebie courtesy of Cleveland.com. They challenged a local personal training coordinator to develop a 6-week training program for a typical couch Potato - who they defined as:
Someone who is about 20 pounds overweight, in reasonably good health, eats reasonably well but does not exercise…..
If this fits you, then this […]

Here is the important news that all overweight and especially obese people want to hear! Recent research has revealed that fatties can be more healthy than “normal” weight people! And that some fatties are actually fitter than the skinny runts:
Among US adults 20 years and older, 23.5% (approximately 16.3 million adults) of normal-weight adults were […]
The brain, just like muscles, works harder during strenuous exercise and is fueled by lactate, rather than glucose. This helps explain why the brain is able to work properly when the body’s demands for fuel and oxygen are highest. It also goes a step further to show that the brain shifts into a higher gear in terms of activity.

Immature, or “baby,” fat cells lurk in the walls of the blood vessels that nourish fatty tissue, just waiting for excess calories to help them grow into the adult monsters responsible for packing on the extra pounds, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found in mice. Researchers have long known that such cells were probably located near blood vessels, but they didn’t know exactly where.
Johns Hopkins scientists report success in significantly suppressing levels of the “hunger hormone” ghrelin in pigs using a minimally invasive means of chemically vaporizing the main vessel carrying blood to the top section, or fundus, of the stomach. An estimated 90 percent of the body’s ghrelin originates in the fundus, which can’t make the hormone without a good blood supply.
High levels of physical activity can help to counteract a gene that normally causes people to gain weight, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. They analyzed gene variants and activity levels of the Old Order Amish in Lancaster County, Pa., and found that the obesity-related FTO gene had no effect on individuals who were the most physically active.
Finding excuses not to exercise is easy. The September issue of Mayo Clinic Women’s HealthSource offers ways to overcome common barriers with some creativity, flexibility and a different mindset. Here’s a sample: Excuse: I don’t have time to exercise. — Schedule exercise in your day as you would an appointment. If you wait to find time, it probably won’t happen. — Turn off the TV. Free up time by watching one less program.
Back fat may seem like a particularly stubborn beast, but you can banish it by shaking up your fitness routine with interval training and core-strengtheners such as Pilates.
