DumbBell Lunge Crossover

Exercise Ball Dumbbell Curls

The advantage of doing dumbbell bicep curls on a swiss ball, also called an exercise ball. is you have to concentrate on keeping your body stable. Your muscles are called into play and have to work harder to keep you stabilized.

Obviously this also means you need to be extra careful. But try these dumbbell curls on an exercise ball and I'll bet you add these to your exercise routine.

You can do these using both arms at the same time or you can do one arm at a time. Personally I prefer doing alternating curls but you get to make your own choice. 

I'll add more exercise ball exercises from time to time.

The Power of Late-Night Snacking

The Power of Late-Night Snacking

**********************************************************

You’re staring at your computer screen with weary eyes. Dinner has come and gone, but that oh-so-familiar beast we call Hunger has reeled its damn head again.

But you can’t snack after eight o’clock, right?

That’s weight loss rule number one. . . . Or is it?

I’m about to share with you some helpful truths for a situation of this kind. There’s an ironic flipside to my mostly honorable label of ‘Liz Swann Miller – Weight Loss Expert’.

I must strictly resign myself to the continuous expectation the general public attributes to the title – that I have it together. Liz would never gain excessive amounts of weight. Liz would never give in to that looming golden M on the highway. Liz doesn’t snack late at night. How does Liz do it?

Let me tell you a secret. Liz struggles. Liz feels the exact temptations you feel, and resists the exact pulls you resist. As this ‘Weight Loss Expert’, I often need to remind myself not only to pursue a healthy lifestyle in order to fulfill the expectation of my title and my career, but for my optimal wellbeing.

The temptation, for me, is at its worst late at night, during that time when I’ve supposedly declared eating over, yet I’m fighting hunger, bleary-eyed, answering hundreds of emails from clients seeking advice for topics such as this.

Firstly – it’s important to note that hunger is a basic survival instinct – and we must be grateful for it. The fact that it exists is an amazing feat in itself. Don’t be ashamed. There are those who claim the most effective diets are those which have you eating only two meals a day, and drinking water for the rest. I strongly encourage you to ignore these methods, as they are not sustainable.

The secret is snacking.

And I don’t mean digging around in a bag of chips and licking the salt off your fingers (we’ve all been there), I mean pouring yourself a bowl of organic nuts. Or blueberries. Or frozen peas. Be inventive, but clever about it. Choose the right food in moderation.

But let’s talk about the late-night secret. It’s simple. And easy. Are you ready for it? Okay. It’s a cup of tea. Don’t underestimate those three words. Not to drink immediately before bed, but rather in the gap between dinner and sleep. My go-to is the always delicious, always sufficient Red Tea. It satisfies the hunger itch, but leaves me feeling clean, calm and revitalized, primarily due to its detoxifying properties.

And it’s caffeine free – so don’t fear, you won’t be bouncing from the walls. After my extensive studies around fat-burning solutions, the myths and the answers, I created this tea with ingredients selected carefully for late night cravings and overall weight loss (you can find the recipe in the link below).

The benefits are endless, but the solution is simple. Set yourself a challenge. I’ll be right there with you. Ditch the chips, the ice cream, and the guilty pleasure cheese blocks. Get the kettle bubbling and pour yourself a steaming mug of Red Tea. I guarantee – you will fall in love with the taste – and late night cravings will be a beast of the past.

This tea – which is not a ‘voodoo tea’ as some claimed but a real tea that you can make at home – works with your body’s natural fat-burning metabolism to help you lose weight – as much as 14 pounds in 14 days.

Red Tea Detox - Better Than Green Tea

Red Tea?

Green tea has long been acknowledged for its health and wellness benefits, including weight loss assistance. The evidence is overwhelming.

But are we overlooking something better?

It's true that green tea contains powerful antioxidants. These components contribute to minimizing health risks such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.

 You are about to learn how green tea, still beneficial, is gradually losing value in the light of its delicious rival – rooibos.

Rooibos, also known as red tea, is equally high in antioxidants but it comes from different substances than that of green tea.

The antioxidants contained in rooibos – aspalathin and nothofagin – are comparatively rare, and help to regulate blood sugar, reduce excessive fat production, stress, and inhibit metabolic disorders.
