Are you a feaster, constant craver or an emotional eater? Are your eating habits interfering in achieving your fitness goals? Scientists believe that inability to lose weight isn't just down to a lack of willpower. It is due to a person's individual make-up - the genes, hormones and psychology. The latest weight-loss theory is that instead of reaching for a one-size-fits-all diet, you should follow one that is tailored to your individual need.

Hot Fitness Tip

     

Archer’s plank is an exercise that works your abs, back, arms, chest, and shoulders. To perform, get into a raised push-up position with feet more than shoulder-width apart (pull belly button to spine, and keep hips level). Bending elbow, lift right arm off floor straight up toward ceiling, rotating torso right as you do so (like drawing an archer’s bow). Lower hand to start, and repeat on opposite side. Do 12 to 15 reps on each side.

Words of Inspiration

Light at the End of the Tunnel.

There is always a lesson to be learned from adversity. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. The light that leads one out of the darkness is the positive energy that comes to surround those who continually search for what life has to offer.

The answer is always within. By harnessing this positive energy you can accomplish anything. Nothing can hold you back from “going for it.” Do not let anyone or anything stop you from making your dreams a reality. Keep on moving ahead like an unstoppable force. Become headstrong and trust your intuition.
