An All Natural Diet and Nutrition Program and Simple Arm Exercises that Work!

Hey Friends!

I found this great website that features some great nutritional ideas:

http://www.thedietsolutionprogram.com/burnfat.aspx

Ultimately, the makers of this site want you to take the next step and use their Diet Solution program, but you can get a great deal of information on nutritional and fat burning foods just from watching the free video designed by a nutritional expert and exercise specialist. This video features foods that will help you burn fat and shows how some foods that we consider healthy actually aren't. This expert also discusses the many, many different foods that we can actually eat to burn fat and the ones that we should not be eating, which includes sugar and bad fats, especially processed foods, among other types! This video also discusses calories and that you don't need to count calories because the number does not matter as long as you are eating good calories that are full of nutrition and help your body to burn fat. The makers of the video also discuss how foods and portions must be specific to you, which is where most diets fail. After watching the free video, if you do want to take it a step further, they do offer a program that will be specifically designed to meet your nutritional needs, but, even if you aren't ready to do that at this point, I would definitely suggest that, while watching the video, you are taking notes of the specific foods that you should be eating! This video has been a great resource for me as I am keeping track of my daily food intake.


Arm Exercises

I also told you in my last post that I would discuss some great arm exercise routines that I learned last weekend from my friend Kristen. First of all, pick out your two favorite work out songs from your playlist. These songs need to be really energetic! You should start with 5-10 lb. weights and begin in a standing position with your arms down by your side, a light weight in each hand.



When the first verse starts, you should begin lifting both weights to your chest.

Do this move continuously throughout the first verse of the song. When the chorus comes on, switch it up and, begin with your weights close to your chest, palms facing out....

Then lift your weights by extending your hands as straight as they will go up towards the ceiling.

Repeat these two exercises, switching with each verse and chorus for the first song.

After this song finishes and the next one begins, start a new set of arm exercises, beginning in a squat position with your knees facing forward and slightly bent, arms down by your side and palms facing toward your body.

Then extend the arms straight out to the side with your palms still facing down. 


Continue this for the first verse of the song. This will work out your shoulders and upper arm muscles.

When the chorus begins, start with the free weights close to your chest and then extend them backwards.

Repeat these two exercises for the entire song. Each day, you should switch up the routine with other arm exercises, etc.

Please let me know your thoughts on this exercise routine as well as the nutrition program!!

Thank you for listening!
