Electric Muscle Stimulation Poor for Weight Loss

While electric muscle stimulation (EMS) sounds like something you see only in movies, it is a real thing used in the world of sports and medicine. However, it may not be as useful as real exercise to the average athlete or dieter.

What Causes a Slow Metabolism

On a number of occasions I have met people who claim they cannot lose weight, not because of a lack of effort or poor dieting, but because they have a slow metabolism.

Video Games That Help You Lose Weight

What I like most about video games that help you lose weight is that they are bringing the “fun” back into exercising. Even if you aren’t a person who has enjoyed video games in the past, Wii Fit and EA Active are two games that will entertain almost everyone.

This can help you move towards a more active and fit lifestyle.

Exercising with a Cold

A study that was conducted with a number of test patients also found that there is no difference either on lung function or exercise capacity in people with colds.

Tips for Working Out at Home

As I stare from my office window at another six inches of fresh snow that fell last night I think it would be a good time to discuss Tips for Working Out at Home.

Healthy Weight Loss

With a deeper appreciation for losing weight in a healthy and controlled way I can tell you this – anyone can starve themselves, run around the block a few times and then lose weight.
