Fat Loss Journal
Donna posted a great video the other day. It was a 10 minute cardio workout from Spark People .com
I followed the link to the site…
Many people are now choosing to follow a raw food diet for the extreme health benefits of eating raw unprocessed foods. One way to follow this type of diet is to dehyrate foods so they are conveniently available.

Not only will your body LOOK better after the fat layers are shed, but you will actually feel stronger inside and out. You will walk faster, your posture will be better, you will hold your head higher and straighter, and long before you see a difference in your clothing you will feel a difference in your body, and people will notice a difference in your carriage.

On the bike now I am doing a 5 minute warm up and then a few minutes at resistance 3 and 80 RPM followed by 2 minutes of resistance 4 trying to keep RPM at between 95 and 100 so I feel like I am sprinting.

I want to blame it on the constant low pressure system hanging over the house, but I did not eat well over the weekend either so it’s hard to say why I feel so awful today. It’s probably a combination of both
I personally should be exercising 3 hours every day. Now I do not mean that 3 hours needs to be strenuous gut wrenching nauseatingly difficult. HOWEVER, I don’t move at all, so it needs to be at least an hour of strength training and real exercise, and at least 2 hours of just moving.
