Did you know that walking a mile burns the same amount of calories as running a mile? Also, walking has the highest rate of compliance of any exercise, which means you’re more likely to stick to it than anything else.
Jumping rope is an incredibly effective cardiovascular exercise, which also works the shoulders, arms, core and legs. Jumping rope doesn’t require a lot of space & ropes are fairly inexpensive and can be easily taken anywhere for a great workout on the fly. Best of all, you can burn between 150 to 200 calories in just 15 minutes!
Go NUTS! Before that big holiday party, pop a handful of nuts. Before you leave home, eat some raw organic nuts. They contain the right amount of protein and fat, which release the hormone leptin in the stomach that in turn suppresses the hunger hormone “ghrelin” and brings about satiety for healthier partying!
Not all nuts are created equal! So here’s some help:
Almonds are also effective in lowering cholesterol with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
Love chips & dip? Try to switch the chips for vegetable sticks & guacamole! Celery, carrots, bell peppers & tomatoes!
