You may be thinking about joining a gym. Now is probably the best time. Towards late December and the beginning of a new year, gyms will be offering a lot of good deals and discounts. Just shop around. Ask what services they will be offering for each price plan membership. Some memberships only allow you to work out at one specific gym and not the entire chain or you can be limited to certain services at a particular gym. Also, read the fine print. Some gyms have a lot of strings attached!

What are some of the advantages of joining a gym over working out at home? Here are a few:

The Atmosphere

- By being exposed to everyone exercising, you end up being more motivated. Don’t be intimidated by others or how they look like, just do your own thing.

- It’s a great way to get away from work and your house. You get the chance to talk to people and meet new friends.

Learning Experience

- You can get the chance to see how other people work out, what they do that works for them and ask questions if you like. Most people are more than willing to share their successes and offer you tips.

Variety

- There are so many different exercise machines, barbells, free weights. This will help you vary your exercise program.
- A plethora of fitness classes ranging from Yoga, Pilates to aerobic and even strength-training classes designed specifically women.

Proximity to Work

Some gyms could be close to your work or along the way home making it convenient to stop by and do a quick or long workout.

With 2008 slowly coming to an end, so are a lot of great deals. In this case three freebies. I just want to remind you that Kim Lyons Sample Diet plan, her Fat Loss Tips, and her Grocery List from The Biggest Loser TV show will be available for FREE for only a few more days.

Drinking caffeine-free Green Tea and exercising are the most effective ways to staying healthy, toning your body and losing weight. I find that by drinking 1 to 2 cups of Green Tea per day, it provides me with lots of extra energy, particularly useful when I am working out hard and recuperating after a workout. This is due to the fact that Green Tea boosts your immune system and your metabolism. A strong immune system ensures that your body is healthy and resilient. Some other health benefits are that it protects your teeth from tooth decay and it is supposed to prevent stomach and skin cancers.

With respect to weight loss, Green Tea along with regular exercise and proper nutrition, will help you to lose those extra pounds. It’s much cheaper than diet pills and just as effective!

You may be sceptical of the benefits of Green Tea, but even LL Cool J in his book: Platinum Workout
states: “Drink 2 cups of green tea every day. It gently boosts your metabolism and is loaded with cancer-fighting antioxidants. The most potent amont them has demonstrated 100 times the antioxidant power of Vitamin C and 25 times the power of Vitamin E.”

Just look at the results he has achieved by drinking green tea, exercising and eating properly.

I was at the gym yesterday and they had this big poster up saying that the average person gains 8 to 10 pounds duing the holiday season. That’s a fast amount of time that so much weight can be put on! The reality is that it may be much more difficult to lose this weight after the holidays than it was to accumulate  for a lot of people.

My recommendations for the holiday season:

What I suggest that you do during the holidays is try to exercise at least twice a week. Gyms are relatively quiet during the holiday season and you should be able to do a quick workout in less time than it would normally take.

Watch what you eat. Try too avoid those very fatty, greasy foods and high-sugar content foods. Also, try not to over-eat.

Drink 1 to 2 cups of green tea during the holidays.

If you do end up putting on too much weight during the holidays, you can always try to lose the weight with natural supplements or with exercise. If you are not sure how to begin an exercise program, I recommend that you consult a fitness trainer who can create a customized exercise and nutrition program for you.

There are many foods and herbal teas that are beneficial to your health and that boost your immune system. Thus allowing you to achieve your peak fitness level. Fish is one of them.

I usually eat fish once a week. In the last couple of months I have tried something a little different. I have increased my fresh fish consumption to about 2 to 3 times per week.  Usually the day before exercising. I have found that I have a lot more energy and more energy during my workouts. Is this just coincidence?

This is most likely due to the fact that the Omega 3 boosts your immune system. In fact, there are many health benefits to consuming Omega 3 and various research studies indicating possible health benefits. Since your body also cannot manufacture Omega 3, it is a good idea to eat foods containing it. There are many foods containing Omega 3 and these days, many foods are fortified with it.

Try eating more fish for yourself and see if it does in fact boost your energy levels, boost your fitness level and makes you feel a lot healthier. I also suggest that you eat fresh fish or freeze it yourself since frozen fish from grocery stores tends to contain excess added salt, which your body really does not need! Also, be careful where the fish comes from and what type of fish you eat since some fish contains too many contaminants and could be detrimental to your health.

This is just my opinion and my experience. Try it for yourself to see what affect it has on your lifestyle and health.
