Dumbest 'Slimming' Snack Advice Ever

It's no wonder people are so overweight. It's no wonder people don't have the flat stomach they crave.

With TV commercials as misleading as they are it's really no shock whatsoever.

You're inundated with crummy information and myths every time you turn on the TV.

A while back they were running a commercial for some silly Rice Puff product. It was in an office setting and someone had brought in cupcakes for everyone to enjoy.

One woman looked worried she was going to ruin her "diet" because of the temptation and decided to "fill up" on a Rice Puff product.

Come on. You're smarter than that. You know darn well that a rice puff thingy is going to fill you up and stop you from stuffing your face.

For one thing, you need to expect these situations to arise. Whether you want six pack abs or just want to get to a perfectly healthy weight, you have to have a plan for temptation.

Second, that means you need to plan meals so you aren't completely starving when someone brings cupcakes to your office or something.

You know you need to eat small, frequent and nutritious meals if you really want to achieve fat loss.

Third, if you are looking for a great tasting healthy snack that fulfills your love of chocolate then look no further.

Prograde Cravers are just what the fitness pro ordered.

Check them out here: http://beyondfitness.getprograde.com/cravers

Cravers are only 180 calories and they are made with 100% organic dark chocolate. They are completely delicious and they are the perfect snack for busy people on the go.

They even come in three flavors. Personally, I love the Almond Butter flavor the best.

Anyway, don't buy the hype on TV. You know better than that.

Yours in health,

Xpress Workouts Creator

Effective Workouts that Beat the Economic Crunch

With the economy the way it’s been how the heck do you afford to join a gym let alone pay the monthly fees? And, what about hiring a personal trainer – or, continuing with your personal trainer if you have one? Well, here is an option that may work for you to stay fit through the financial mess of this country.

Why not workout at home with Xpress Workouts? Xpress workouts offers numerous workout routines that can take anywhere from 4 minutes to 30 minutes to complete.

Whether you are a beginner or advanced athlete we have an Xpress Workout created for you. For a mere $47 for one full year you’ll gain access to workout routines of various levels of ability (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and with various categories (fat loss, muscle building, athletics, cardiovascular).

We have tons of resources as well with our library of fitness and nutrition articles. Need exercise equipment? We have that too and at incredibly low prices that are cheaper than most sports stores.

What about motivation to help you workout on your own? We’ve got an answer for that too! It’s called, Workout Muse.

Workout Muse offers downloadable music you listen to while working out. Not only is the music great but you get an additional benefit no other music offers exercise enthusiasts – a systematic voice countdown while working out.

No more counting reps or looking at your watch to time your workouts. Each song with Workout Muse automatically offers a voice overlay that tells you when to begin, when you’re halfway done, and when to stop each exercise – all while the music is playing.

You can choose from several times workouts:
1) Continuous Work
2) Tabatas- 20 sec on / 10 sec. recovery
3) 40-20 Supersets
4) 30-60-90 Tri-set Mixer
