Burn 200 More Calories Everyday!

It’s totally possible to burn more calories everyday. You just have to make the decision of whether or not you are willing to take the small steps towards a healthier lifestyle.

Your body naturally burns calories all day long, but who wouldn’t want to lose more? With these easy-to-follow daily routines you could burn 200 more calories everyday!

Walk everywhere you can!

If you are going to eat lunch at work, and are within walking distance of restaurants, just walk there. If you need to stop at the post office and it’s just down the road, then take a brisk walk. Make sure you always have a pair of sneakers in your car, so that when the option to walk presents itself you can do it. You’ll be saving on gas, helping the environment, AND burning more calories.

Take the stairs!

I know how tempting it is to take the elevator everyday, but the stairs will get your heart pumping and burn a few more calories each day. No matter where you are, the mall, work, school, opt for taking the stairs everywhere you go. You’ll be burning big time calories in no time with this step!

Play outside!

Many of us have children to keep us on our toes. So, this is an easy way for us to burn more calories. Take the kids on a bike ride or go for a walk with the stroller. You’ll be spending more time with your kids and burning tons of calories at the same time.

Park far away!

It is such a pain to try and find spots close to stores or work anyway, so this is the perfect time to squeeze in some additional exercise. If you park farther away from work you’ll burn extra calories on the way in and out everyday. You could even park on the total opposite side of the building to make your walk even longer.

Walk the dog!

Your dog probably needs a certain amount of exercise each day to get that hyper-ness out of his system. So, a walk would be great for both you and him. If you make it a routine, you doggy will love you and so will your body.

Laugh more!

Laughing burns calories too! What better way to burn calories than by having a good laugh. You could go to a comedy show or stay at home and watch a funny movie. Find something that makes you laugh and enjoy every single calorie-burning minute of it!

BeActive Brace Really Worked to Relieve My Back Pain

by gblogs ⋅ Leave a Comment

I love my BeActive Brace! This is a product that really does work and I would highly recommend it.

After having my two beautiful children, my back pains never went away. I tried for a really long time to find something that worked. I went to the chiropractor often, I tried heat and ice, and I even started taking yoga classes. However, nothing seemed to help.

Finally I was given the BeActive Brace by a friend and now I no longer have those horrible back pains that I use to have. They come in sets and they really do make a good gift for someone. I couldn’t have appreciated this more.

Now I am able to be myself again. I don’t have terrible sciatic back pain anymore and it feels great. I am able to play with the kids again, exercise, and participate in other daily activities pain-free.

My top 3 favorite exercises are super easy to do and they really work! They also do not take up much time out of your day.

1. Sit N Cycle
2. Denise Austin: Hot Body Yoga
3. Jillian Michaels – 30 Day Shred

I have had success with BeActive and getting back in shape and you can to! I would love to hear any questions or comments you may have about BeActive and any exercise programs, so comment below.

Get Fit for Fall! End of Summer Fitness Tips

by gblogs ⋅ Leave a Comment

Eat breakfast: This seems so simple, but with many of us getting much busier over these next couple months, breakfast is an easy meal to forget about. A quick, protein filled breakfast can help fuel you for the rest of the day.
Take care of pain: Winter will be here before you know it and with it, it will bring colder weather. As we all know, colder weather is hard on our bodies. So, now is the time to take care of any injuries or joint pain that you have. I recently discovered the BeActive Brace which really helped to eliminate my back pain. You’ll be surprised a how much better you will feel after taking care of any pain related issues this season.
Enjoy the Rest of What Summer has to Offer: There are so many delicious summer fruits and veggies that will be gone soon. Take advantage of these! Have some watermelon by the pool, or eat the rest of those delicious berries in your refrigerator. You’ll be sad that you didn’t take full advantage of them when they are gone for the seasons to come!
Join the Gym: It’s a guarantee that you won’t get to spend as much time outside during the fall and winter, so take advantage of the rest of the time you do have, and then get a gym membership. Some gyms cost as little as $10 a month and are really worth it! They also offer classes so that you aren’t doing the same routine everyday. This way you won’t get bored and quit!
Hit up the beach: You will only have a few more chances before the water gets cold again, so take advantage of the lake or ocean now! Swimming is a great workout and you will definitely feel it the next day. A big plus is that beaches won’t be as crowded anymore either.
Get out and explore: There are so many parks and trails in your area and this is the perfect time to explore all of them. The leaves will be changing soon and there is no better site than nature in the fall! Do some research and try to hit up all of them before the winter comes.

8 Summer Fitness Tips Straight From the Pros!

by gblogs ⋅ Leave a Comment

You’ll love these summer fitness tips to help kickstart your healthy lifestyle!

Pick up the pace! No matter where you are, you can pick up the pace. Walk a little faster to the bathroom, skip to your car, jog to Starbuck’s. You go so many places every single day, so why not just go a little faster?
Carry a reusable water bottle! We can all afford to drink more water and save the environment at the same time with a reusable bottle. If you are sure to take water everywhere you go, then you’ll be more likely to drink it throughout the day. I love my Camelbak Better Insulated Bottle, 0.6 Litre, Magenta.
No time? No Problem! If you don’t have time to workout, then you need to do more intense workouts in the time you do have. When you feel too tired to do anything. Get up and push as hard as you can for a short amount of time. It will be totally worth it and you’ll feel great.
Keep a Food Log! This is a huge pain, but you gotta do it. There is no simpler way to monitor what you are eating than by writing it all done. I’m talking every morsel, write it all down! You can monitor your nutrition with the SuperTracker and see what you need to eat more and less of.
Take care of pain! A little pain never hurt anyone, but if your body is telling you somethings wrong there probably is! I had serious knee problems and the doctor recommended that I get a brace for running. Now I use the BeActive Brace and enjoy pain-free runs.
Eat more fruits & veggies! We love having a juice a day to get in all the fruits and vegetables that I don’t enjoy eating on a daily basis. It’s a really health way to kickstart your metabolism and give you some much needed energy for the day. There are tons of recipes online too!
Hit the Sand! Walking on sand has many great benefits. You get a better workout in the sand because it gives you added resistance. It’s also better on the knees so head to the beach for a nice morning walk or evening run.
Book Hotels with Gyms! Don’t go on vacation and ruin your diet. There are many great ways to still eat healthy and workout on vacation. Take advantage of swimming and all of the delicious tropical fruits that islands have to offer!
