Five Easy Ways to Balance Detox in the New Year

by

With the onset of the New Year arrives our New Year’s Resolutions. For many of us, there will be tons of different goals that we have set that we aim to pursue during this New Year, and many of us will wholeheartedly strive to achieve them. A few of the top New Year’s Resolutions include weight loss, quitting smoking, eating healthier foods, improving skincare regiments, and bettering ourselves personally, physically, spiritually and mentally. One great way to get started on this path to newly found enlightenment is by detoxing from all of those toxins that your body has built up over the year prior. This list of easy ways to detox can help you more easily achieve your personal goals and aspirations for 2011.

1. Religiously drink water. Water is not only great for you, but you should be drinking your weight, in ounces, daily. This can help to purge toxins from your body, improve weight loss efforts and help you along the way.
2. Check out spa body wraps for improved weight loss and detoxification. There are many different body wraps that you can get that can greatly speed up your detoxification efforts, and many aid in weight loss, too.
3. Time to get back to the gym. Most people take a break from working out and from the gym over the holidays. Start back up slow, and work your way into a solid regiment once again.
4. Eat more vegetables. Your parents always encouraged you to do so, now you have to be the boss with the whip. Eat your greens; they help you detox, they are loaded with good stuff and rich with antioxidants.
5. Look into yoga and fitness classes. If the gym is not your friend, check out some dance fitness classes or yoga classes. They are both excellent ways to drop the pounds and detox.

The Office Chair Workout in Three Easy Steps

by

According to the US government, the number one New Year’s resolution for 2010 was in fact weight loss. This really should not come as any surprise, however. This is because Americans tend to be the fattest people, per capita, in the world. With more than 40% of our society sporting bulging tummies, or what many people call the ‘spare tire’ around their midsections, one can easily denote that we all could use a little bit of working out here and there. Then comes our busy days, the daily hectic schedules that we must endure, and many of us commute to and from work, usually working in offices, or at least for a great deal of US workers. So where do you find time to workout? How do you enjoy weight loss without getting overtired? I have a simple way for you to tone your abs—and all from your office chair, no tummy tuck required.

  1. The office chair ab crunch. This one is so simple that you will laugh. Sit up straight with proper posture. Then squeeze your abs as you lean in and hold it, and count to three slowly. Ten reps of ten per day will make that fat trim away,
  2. The office chair side bar love handle destroyer. Love handles are those annoying pockets of fat around our sides, called that because people can hold onto them when they are making love. Use your office chair to get rid of them. Outstretch your arm so it is elongated and the slowly crunch to side and hold, count to three and repeat. Ten reps per side, per day, makes love handles get a divorce from your body.
  3. The circular super ab crunch. Lastly, pretend you are dancing while you are sitting in your office chair. Squeeze your tummy muscles hard as you make circular motions. You will feel the burn after about twenty reps. Do this three times per day, and you will really see results fast.
