Realistic Tips for Trimming the Fat

Today I noticed this great article on the active.com website and just had to share it!  The author has highlighted 8 practical tips for losing fat and achieving a leaner body composition.  While I'm sure some of the suggestions won't be brand new to many of us who are striving to lose weight and improve body fat percentage, I encourage you to take a look and find something new that you can incorporate into your lifestyle.  The tip on the importance of iron intake was one I hadn't necessarily connected to keeping the muscle mass I already have.

So, on which suggestion will you be striving to place more emphasis?

Reducing Body Fat

I stumbled upon this video, part of a series, that seems realistic to me.  I like the trainer's calm, matter-of-fact demeanor.

Which reminds me . . . this week my Weight Watchers Leader challenged us to MOVE MORE.  Her plan for the week was to dance in the kitchen while the music is on.  Cute, huh?

Honestly, when someone asks me what I plan to do to move more I tend to think of a structured workout activity.  However, this idea has been percolating for a few days in my head and I've come to realize that I can increase my activity very simply by choosing to do tasks on my own instead of telling my kids to run upstairs and fetch my phone or check under all the sinks and find the Windex, etc.

So, what will you do this week to move more?

Until next time,
