Tip of the Day:

Ever get sugar cravings?

The healthier you eat on a regular basis, the less and less you will crave sugar. But that’s not helpful if you’re in the moment and all you want is a hot fudge sundae, right?! Here are three quick tips!

1. Drink some water.
2. Take a “breathing break,” sit down for two minutes and focus on nothing but your breathing and listening to your body.
3. Brush your teeth!

Try each of these three strategies next time you get a craving and you should be able to keep them at bay!

What do you think? Have you ever used them before?

Tip of the Day:

Recover Faster

When you're recovering from a muscle injury, begin exercising again as soon as you can. Try a few minutes at low intensity to test yourself. Go slowly—no explosive movements. If you experience pain, stop immediately. Afterward, ice the area for 20 minutes and exercise again the next day. You should be able to go a little harder and longer each workout.

Tip of the Day:

Finish Faster

To save time, use the same weight for your entire workout. Pick the weight based on your weakest exercise—choose an amount you can lift only six to eight times—and do the moves in a circuit.

Here's a great Dumbbell Complex Circuit:
Choose a weight you can do 10x with for the Bicep Curl to Press exercise and complete:
- Beginner - 4 rounds of the circuit with 10 reps on each exercise (6 reps on Lunges)
- Advanced - 6 rounds of the circuit with 12-14 reps on each exercise (8 reps on Lunges)

1 minute rest in between each round.

Front Squat
Bent Over Row
Front Lunges
Bicep Curl to Shoulder Press

Tip of the Day:

Use Iron, Get The Lead Out

Lift weights to run faster. A study in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that 8 weeks of resistance training improved experienced runners' 5-K times by 30 seconds.

What's your best time?

Tip of the Day:

Get Stronger Faster,

Do the same amount of exercise in 10 percent less time. It forces your muscles to work harder and improves your endurance at the same time. If it takes you 30 minutes to do a full-body workout on Monday, try to do it in 27 minutes on Wednesday.

How long does it take to do your current workout?

Tip of the Day:

Reach Your Goals

Set your goals in reverse. That is, pick a date of completion and work backward, writing down short-term goals as you go. The goals then seem more like deadlines and you're more likely to achieve them.

What goals have you set?

Tip of the Day:

Make Time For Your Health

Work up to 60 minutes of physical activity each day. That doesn't mean you'll be on the weight-room floor seven days a week, but strive to get some kind of activity—even if it's a walk with your dog or a leisurely bike ride. Take advantage of great weather when it happens by taking your workouts outdoors. If you're new to fitness, start with two 15-minute sessions or three 10-minute sessions to help you become acclimated.

Something you may have never thought of...

“It’s not a question of whether packaging will leach into a product. It’s a question of how much.” Check the bottom of your plastic containers for these exact symbols. Here’s why.

Tip of the Day:

Photographic Evidence

Can’t get the scale to budge? It’s very possible you’re gaining muscle and shedding body fat so take pictures on a weekly basis. It’s important to take front, back, (and) side pictures all from the same angle, same lighting, same clothing because the scales lie, pictures do not, and you’ll really be able to see a change that way.

Do you take progress photos?
