Written by Mary on September 4, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Obviously, exercise and physical activity can improve your life. But how do you effectively and easily fit exercise into your life? The answer is – the .

Home gyms are not for everyone, but having something at home gives you flexibility and convenience as well as an opportunity to multi-task. If you keep making excuses about going to the or the health club, then this may be the way to go.

A home gym doesn’t really need a lot of space, but you do have a lot of choices out there, so you have to figure out what works best for you. Before you go shopping for your , here are some tips to make sure your wallet won’t be the only part of you that gets thinner.

There are three components to exercises – cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility, so it’s really important to have those three available to you. While a treadmill offers an effective cardiovascular workout, you can get similar benefits from jogging which you can do from free, so it is more cost effective to focus on fitness equipment designed to build strength or flexibility. One option is to put together a good free weights gym complete with adjustable bench, dumbbells and barbells. To add a bigger variety of exercises, you can choose a leverage gym, which uses pulleys and weights to provide resistance training. Or, if money is not an issue, a quality multiple station system with adjustable will give you a faster and easier workout.

Depending on what gym equipment you buy, it may cost about much as a 5 year membership at a health club. The good news is health retailers often have sales, and used fitness equipment are also available at half the cost. When choosing your fitness equipment, make sure any mechanical equipment is adjustable to better fit your body type, and also to adjust the intensity of the workout as you grow stronger. Always test drive the exact piece of equipment you are considering for purchase.

Most importantly, whatever you decide to choose, your home gym will be useless if you do not use it. So make sure to use it for a long and healthy life.

World's First Fantasy Sports Diet, Health, and Exercise Program

Written by Mary on June 12, 2011 · Leave a Comment

San Rafael, CA (PRWEB) August 23, 2010

Fantasy Healthball contains no-nonsense Dr. Oz sort of health advice wrapped neatly in a fantasy sports package that makes diet and exercise a competitive game. It is like a powerful combination of Nutrition for Dummies, Eat This Not That Supermarket Survival Guide, and popular fantasy sports websites. Readers learn about nutrition, calories, weight loss, eating strategies, exercise, healthy tailgating recipes, and even how to perform a Pantry and Refrigerator Exorcism

Starting as a popular website and blog (http://www.FantasyHealthball.com) launched at halftime of 2008's Super Bowl XLII, Fantasy Healthball turns passion for football into passion for great health and spectators into active players. Players are actively engaged in the pro football game, without having to worry about a 300-pound linebacker planting them in the artificial turf.

The on the field actions of pro football players relate directly to Fantasy Healthball players' healthy actions throughout the week. They earn Healthpoints for executing daily, good health decisions just like the pros earn points for executing a successful scoring play. The weekly result will be a win or a loss as Fantasy Healthball players attempt to have a good season and even make the playoffs Competition is against the pros using a fantasy football scoring method, but also against your family, friends, spouse, co-workers, etc.

There are now more overweight and obese Americans than ever – two out of every three. The number gets worse each year and obesity leads to diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and premature death. In 2010, Americans don't need to be told that a side of steamed vegetables is healthier for them than a side of super-sized fries. But what they do need is to find something to believe in that will inspire them to be healthy. And that inspiration can be found in fantasy sports

About 15 million Americans now rabidly play fantasy football. Companies like ESPN, Yahoo, and CBS Sports report huge increases in their on-line membership – and the advertising revenues that follow – due to fantasy sports. According to an August 2003 Business Wire report: almost 17 percent of all males ages 18-39 play fantasy sports, fantasy football is the most popular fantasy sport, the average player spends almost three hours a week managing his/her team, 62% of players check their fantasy teams on-line during work, and most players are in a high income bracket.

The primary target of the book is football fans who have spent too much time on the couch and not enough time in the gym. A secondary target is their spouses who may need a non-intimidating and fun way to encourage their partner to re-create a healthy lifestyle – using a language they already know and trust – football

Jim Ballard and Jeff Hagen form a kind of Odd Couple of diet and nutrition writers. Best friends since elementary school, Ballard is a wellness and exercise freak and Hagen is suffering from type 2 diabetes and weight related issues. Hagen details his personal struggles with weight issues and diabetes and how Ballard, after many prior failed attempts to get Hagen to take his health seriously, came up with the invention of Fantasy Healthball to help his friend. They are passionate about sports and have found a way to put that passion to good use.to help Hagen and as many people like him as possible.

As the book was invented as a personal quest to improve Jeff's lifestyle and confront his diabetes, the authors will be donating a significant portion of all proceeds to charitable organizations dedicated to preventing and curing diabetes and improving the lives of people affected by diabetes.

Published by Good Fight Publishing, Fantasy Healthball is exclusively available through Amazon.com. For additional details, please enter the Media Room at http://www.FantasyHealthball.com.

We wanted to offer something to people who don't want to go to a typical gym and pay an initiation fee and then a monthly rate and then an extra fee for personalized instruction or programming. With The Fitness Lair, people just pick from our menu of services and we deliver the service, explains UNICUS Fitness Co-Founder and President, Frank Nunez.

The Fitness Lair is all about the client and their result. The Lair doesn't have leather couches or waterfalls in the lobby or expensive art work on the wall, but it does have a lineup of equipment that delivers the promise of our clients getting the result they want.

Set on the top floor of 233 N. Michigan Ave, there isn't even an elevator you can take to get to the Fitness Lair.
