I started a new workshop I call “Yogini Bootcamp”. I combine intervals of kickboxing, lunges, squats, push ups, tricep dips, and light weights and end with a yoga stretch and meditation. I’ve found that kickboxing is great for getting your heart rate up and thus losing weight while toning and defining the buttocks, thighs, waist, hips, and upper arms. Yoga then lengthens and defines the muscles that are worked and leaves one feeling centered, balanced, and energized to take on the obstacles in their day! I teach a weekly class in San Diego and a longer workshop once a month. If you are interested in more info email me at info@fitbysara.com or call 800.568.3820 and visit: http://www.fitbysara.com .

When most of us think of losing weight we focus on losing a certain amount of weight. Instead of focusing on the number you want to lose, think about how you want to feel from the result of losing weight. For example, by losing weight do you expect to feel lighter? Happier? or more passionate? Do you want it to be a lifelong change or temporary? If you want to lose weight and feel good while doing it take small steps towards achieving your goals.

It’s really important that you stay connected to your husband or partner while your pregnant because once you have your baby it will be even harder to find the time to connect. Keep your relationship a top priority by spending quality “we” time together. Make sure to keep him in the loop with how you’re feeling both emotionally and physically. Keep him involved in the growth of your baby by going to appointments together and have him feel your belly often. The more connected you are before baby comes the easier it will be after baby arrives.

When it comes to the world of dieting you will find that there are many diet, weight loss, and fitness plans on the market. It takes years for some to become a contender and others remain a best-kept secret of sorts. One such ‘best kept’ secret would be the 3 Hour Diet that was designed by Jorge Cruise. I am sure that there are many reading along and chuckling under your breath that there is no way one can lose weight by eating every three hours however the science behind the theory is fairly common and Jorge Cruise is a mainstay in the fitness industry.
The long and short of this diet operates with the knowledge that if you do not feed your body accurately and regularly your body will go into what is called ’starvation mode’. In this mode your body holds onto the fat rather than burning it up and consuming it for use. This means that your body is burning muscle rather than fat to take the energy it needs in order to function.
With the 3 Hour Diet you will not feel hungry all the time, in fact, there are many who claim they are constantly setting alarms and reminding themselves to eat. You will also learn the proper foods to eat in order to achieve the best possible results. The key is in learning which foods are right for you when dieting with this plan. You can purchase the book The 3-Hour Diet by Jorge Cruise and you can sign up online for more information about the weight plan itself and how to incorporate it into your busy routine.
I do recommend purchasing the book if you are seriously considering this as your method of dieting as there are many wonderful hints, tips, and tricks that are mentioned in the book to help you keep things going no matter how busy and hectic your lifestyle may be. One thing you need to keep in mind is that dieting with a program such as this is no small commitment. You need to stick to the timetable as much as possible in order to achieve the results this plan is famous for. If you aren’t willing to eat every three hours then this plan really may not be the plan for you.
Otherwise, if this is something you would be interested in, I highly recommend it. There are special considerations based on the amount you weight currently and the amount of weight you are hoping to lose. It is best if you are honest throughout the process in order to achieve the best possible and most immediate results. The claim is that you can lose as many as 10 pounds in the first two weeks and there are those that have claimed to do just that over and over again. This is a diet that even many celebrities endorse for quick and immediate results.
The good and the bad about 3 hour dieting is that it is effective but takes a very real commitment on the part of the one that is dieting. This diet is one that is taking the world by storm. If you haven’t heard of it before now, please take the time to check it out and see if this is something you could incorporate into your life. The results that have been reported as a result of this diet as nothing short of phenomenal. If there were one diet I would recommend above others for those who hate feeling hungry, it would be this diet.
