Purchase a Home with your Head, not your Heart

Ok, the time has come to open that wallet, pull out the money, and invest in a property, in a real property. You start to look for a good bargain home because you probably have heard that property prices are lower than ever. But what should be avoided is paying too much for what a property is truly worth also mentioned in www.fliphouses.com

You may now be thinking that you wouldn’t pay too much because the “experts” have already told you that you will make money in the future when you sell. But look again at what those experts say. The best time to make money is not when you sell but rather, when you buy the property. This makes sense because if you don’t make money when you buy a property then you are more than likely to have trouble recuperating that money when you sell it. The best thing to do to save yourself from this loss is to look for a good bargain. To do this you must know the common reasons for paying too much for property.

One of the most common reasons for paying too much for a property is that you fall in love with it instantly. The house appeals to your emotions and you want it yes or yes so you settle on a deal without haggling or further investigation. This is when you have to stop and think because you are probably never going to recuperate your losses. More common reasons are that you think the location is prime and you don’t think about the costs or the investment you will have to put into the house to buy or to resell. It all comes down to you not thinking about the loss and all the extra money you will be putting into the house, plus taxes.

In the end the money you put into your property is your decision, but be smart before making any move. Be sure to punch the numbers and lay out the costs and how long it takes to recoup those costs so that you don’t end up paying too much for your property as also discussed in www.fliphouses.now

Checklist for House Hunting

The secret to a successful house-hunting trip is to be as informed and organized as possible before you go. When purchasing a house with the intention of reselling it later on for a profit, you want to keep a few things in mind, not only for yourself but also for the prospective buyer as also discussed in www.fliphousesnow.com

1. Make a list of the critical requirements for a new neighborhood. These include, commuting time to your employer, school requirements, community demographics (age, education, lifestyle), population density (urban, suburban, or rural), and community institutions that are important (being close to entertainment, places of worship, or other amenities)

2. Get an idea of which neighborhoods are likely to meet your requirements or those of a prospective buyer. Talk with others who already live in the area to gain their perspective.

3. Determine a price range before you start looking for a home. Talk with a realtor to see how much of an increase or decrease to expect in home values in the area over the next couple of years. It is important to arrive from your house-hunting trip with a realistic expectation of what you will need to spend in order to afford a home in a neighborhood that meets the above requirements.

4. Make sure that your realtor understands your neighborhood requirements and your price range, and that the realtor believes that your price range is realistic.

5. When you go on your house-hunting trip, take along a map, your research notes concerning communities (schools, amenities, etc.), and a house-hunting checklist. A checklist is important and gives key features of the houses you visit so that you can take notes to compare these features with what you are looking for. You can use the map to mark locations of houses.

With good planning and the right realtor, you can accomplish a lot on your house-hunting trip which you can also find here www.fliphousesnow.com

Imagine Losing Your Cellulite in as Little as 4 Weeks!

Dear Friend,

My name is Susan Wilkins. I am a woman just like you and I really care about you! You see, I want to help you banish cellulite forever! I am your typical forty something woman, and like many of you I had been struggling with cellulite for years. I didn't want to go to the beach, wear shorts, or even be intimate.

I was so sick of ducking out of going to the beach with my husband. And then always having to wear a wrap to hide my nasty cellulite if I did get guilted into it.

You can feel sexy and confident at the beach, cellulite free as mentioned in www.ifoundthecure.com!


Like you have, I tried creams, exercise, I got down to my ideal weight, I seemed to have tried everything under the sun to get rid of my cellulite. I was searching for a cure to cellulite. But nothing worked and I was totally fed up! My husband didn't understand why I had spent literally hundreds and hundreds of dollars on every cream or product that claimed it delivered results, but I know that you understand as you have probably done the same thing yourself.

Men don't usually get cellulite (the reason why I will explain in the ebook) so they just don't understand. My husband would always say I looked fine. Well, who wants to look fine! I wanted to look sexy, and feel confident. We all do right?

I was totally frustrated, and was ready to visit a plastic surgeon that my friend recommended. The plastic surgeon explained that the treatment was not a guarantee that my cellulite would go away! I hardly want to tell you how much he was going to charge me too!

So I made up my mind that there had to be a natural solution to cellulite, to get rid of my cellulite. Around this time I began working as a Naturopathic Counselor.

I applied the natural remedies myself, and I was SHOCKED to find that my Cellulite was diminishing after the first day of treatment! I repeat my cellulite melting away the first day of treatment!!!!
Smooth Skin cellulite Free

My mentors had their cellulite diminish in a matter of weeks and a short while after that it was gone! Now we are all cellulite free! This will help you get rid of cellulite!

I was so excited I shared the remedy with all of my girlfriends, and basically everyone woman I know, since we all seem to have cellulite. It worked on everyone! They all got rid of their cellulite!

All my friends were saying that I have found the cure to cellulite. Then, one morning my friend was talking about some of the ancient secrets we use to cure cellulite, and she said "you should write an ebook." Well with the help of some great people "The Natural Cellulite Solution" is here.

If you are my age it's not too late to get sexy, and be cellulite free. If you are a young woman there is no reason to suffer with embarrassing cellulite another day.

Natural Remedies for Athlete's Foot

athletes-foot1What is Athlete's Foot?

Athlete’s Foot is a persistent fungal infection affecting the feet, also known as tinea pedis. Athlete’s Foot most commonly appears between the toes and toenails but can affect other parts of the foot as well. This causes the skin between the toes and in the infected areas to appear scaly, cracked, and red which is also stated here www.ifoundthecure.com

Who Gets Athlete's Foot?

Athlete’s Foot gets it’s name from the high number of athlete’s that experience tinea pedis. This is because perspiration, and moisture provide a perfect environment for the fungus to thrive.

So, athlete’s most commonly get athlete’s foot. Anyone can get athlete’s foot. People with excessively sweaty feet are more susceptible to developing athlete’s foot. Public environments such as gyms, locker rooms, and hotel bathrooms are common places where you can contract the fungus.

Natural Remedies.

Changing into clean socks after a workout, or anytime that your feet get really sweaty will help to prevent athlete's foot, as well as good hygiene. Eat a diet high in fresh organic produce, and consume a lot of antioxidant rich foods to boost your immune system.

Negotiating Home Prices

As a home buyer, learning to approach a seller is one of the most important steps in order to get a great deal. You need to be one step ahead of them and utilize some buying techniques. The most common one is to present an offer lower than the one you can actually pay. However, there are a couple things you can try before making an offer. Lead the conversation in such a way that the seller accepts some terms because then the seller will find it very difficult later to disagree on something he has already agreed on. Also, handling the negotiation in a friendly way will increase your chances of getting a good deal as mentioned in www.fliphousesnow.com

You can also play some “mind tricks” on the seller. Showing yourself doubtful is one of them. This will encourage the seller to motivate you and feel that he’s moving forward in the negotiation. Another one is to ask for things you don’t want, so then you can pretend you’re giving them up as long as the seller offers you a better deal. Also, you can offer a small amount so you’ll have the seller wondering if you have noticed something he hasn’t, and that you know what you’re talking about. On the other hand, playing dumb can help you too, because when the seller thinks you know nothing about the business, they will lower their guard.

Make somebody who’s not there be a part of the negotiation. Say you can’t make this decision on your own; or that you have a previous reference. For instance, you can say that a friend bought a house in a certain way (so why can’t you do it that way too?). It’s also important to establish the agreeable points one by one. Doing this will make the seller feel he’s about to close the deal and that it’s not worth it to loose a sale over a few disagreements.

Negotiating a house buying deal with these points in mind will help you land the deal you want as discussed in www.fliphousesnow.com

Spotting the Bargains That Other People Miss

You may think that finding that prefect home to turn a profit means spending all your life savings. However, that’s not necessarily true. That perfect money maker may very well be a real bargain. Once you decide you’re willing to look for that special deal on a home you have to know how to spot the bargains that other people miss as stated in www.fliphousesnow.com

The first thing you must know when trying to spot the real deals is to know that some areas will have better bargains than others. These may be the ones to reward you more in the future. It is all about timing and timing is key when looking for a deal because you must be ready when the opportunity arises. Checking out auctions is one of the best places to spot a bargain because many times there are circumstances involved which eliminate the long process of wheeling and dealing to obtain a good deal on the property. They need to sell quickly and there isn’t as much competition.

Another tip is to look for the properties which have been on the market the longest. In most cases that means houses that have been out there for more than 5 months. But always keep in mind that if it looks too good to be true than more than likely it is and that’s when you want to pay attention and look into the matter more closely. If you’re really interested in the property then it would pay you to hire an inspector to use his professional eye to check things out for you. Other than a flat market, there is usually a very good reason why a property isn’t selling or is being offered at a really low price as mentioned in www.fliphousesnow.com


So use all the tools available to you, whether it’s the media, your family and friends, a real estate agent or your own research to help you house hunt and you’ll be sure to spot the bargains that other people miss.

Cindy Crawford Admits “I Have Cellulite”

300x250-cellulite-solution
Those where Cindy Crawford's words to Redbook's September issue. First of all it is nice to see that Cindy Crawford, the incredibly sexxy mommy admits to having the same problems that 95% of all woman have; cellulite. The fact is that quite few celebrities suffer from it also as mentioned in www.howcelebritiesloseweight.com A partial list includes Mischa Barton, Kim Kardashian, Pamela Anderson, Goldie Hawn, Donatella Versace, Tara Reid, Sharon Stone, Britney Spears, Elizabeth Hurley.


I have cellulite. I admit it. But sometimes I just say, 'Screw it, I am going to wear a bikini. I think I look good for my age. I am not 25; I am 43. That feels like a big pressure, especially when the National Enquirer is dying to get a picture. I am so aware that I don't want to change the way I live because of that kind of attention. So you say, 'Screw it. I am wearing a bikini, and I am not putting on a cover-up.' You just brace yourself for a bad picture.

What is Cellulite?


There is a great ebook in circulation called "The Natural Cellulite Solution" that helps woman that follow it to either eliminate or considerably reduce their cellulite. Quite few of you have used it with great results. We are fortunate to be allowed to include few pages of "The Natural Cellulite Solution" in our post today, because it is important to understand what is cellulite and why it forms. Here is an excerpt:

What is Cellulite & Why Do I Have it?


Cellulite is a combination of fat, water and wastes trapped just beneath the skin which give the skin that nasty, unattractive, and bumpy appearance.

Cellulite is that unsightly lumpy, dimply, cottage cheese looking skin that occurs around the thighs, hips, buttocks and belly resembling an orange peel.

Cellulite can be genetic. So chances are good that if your mother had cellulite, you will get it too. Excess estrogen can also cause, or contribute to cellulite.

But, more often than not, cellulite is the result of a poor diet, an over-worked and poorly functioning lymphatic system, and liver.

When the body's circulation and elimination processes becomes overworked, your connective tissue loses its strength. This causes un-metabolized fats and wastes to become trapped, instead of being expelled through the normal channels of elimination, causing cellulite.

Indigenous societies usually eat cleaner, less toxic foods, and beverages, and don’t consume medication and antibiotics. Therefore these indigenous women don’t have cellulite, and probably have never even heard of cellulite.

About 95% of women have cellulite, and even some men. The reason more women have cellulite than men is easily understood from the graphic below.

The thickness of the epidermis, and the differences in the shapes of the fat chambers in women and men differ significantly.

As you can see from Figure #1 men have a honeycomb pattern to their fat chambers, which keeps their fat less visible.

You can see in Figure #2 how when pinched, the woman’s fat creates a bumpy appearance, while the man on the other hand has no major change when pinched.

The Lymphatic System & Cellulite


The lymphatic system is an elaborate system of thin tubes that run throughout the body. These tiny tubes are called 'lymph vessels' or 'lymphatic vessels'.

Signs that your Lymphatic System is Congested:
• Frequent Colds
• Frequent Flush
• Feeling sluggish
• Having noticeable cellulite, and an overall pudgy, and soft body type.

The lymphatic system does several jobs in the body:

• Filters Blood
• Filters Lymph
• Fights Infection
• Drains Unused Fluid
• And is the Key to Immune Defense

The lymphatic system carries “lymph” a clear fluid containing white blood cells, throughout the body in a similar way that blood circulates, like a heart, but without a pump as stated in www.howcelebritiesloseweight.com

Cellulite can be the result of impaired lymph flow to certain areas, causing immobilized pockets of fat, and waste to get trapped. So it is imperitive that you stimulate your lymphatic system to eliminate cellulite.

Cellulite Solution


I hope that this excerpt explains what is cellulite and why so many woman have it. For more information on the "The Natural Cellulite Solution" please visit their website at www.cellulite.ifoundthecure.com. What I want everyone to get from this post is that if you suffer from cellulite you are not alone. The majority of woman do, some have more severe form then others. You do not have to live with it, there are ways to make it better. We recommend this particular ebook because it works and because there is a money back guarantee if you try it and it does not work for you. Regardless if you buy this ebook or not, keep in mind that you do not have to live with cellulite.

Our goal is to help you look great, be confident and enjoy life, just like a celebrity. If you have suggestions on what other areas we can help with, please send us a comment!

Sandra Bullock is in shape and looking great at 45!

sandra

Lets be honest, Sandra Bullock looks great in all her movies, whether it be Crash, While You Were Sleeping, or her new movie The Proposal. She always looks great without using the latest trends. You may ask how does she always look so great, well continue reading to find out. You may also click here www.howcelebritiesloseweight.com


WORKOUT ROUTINE:


"I do a lot of Pilates, kick boxing and weight training in L.A. and when I'm in Austin I run or ride a bike," says Bullock who splits her time between L.A. and her Texas Ranch. The lovely comedic actress doesn't shy away from variety; she mixes up her fitness routine. The variety of fitness activities helps Sandra stay motivated and keeps workout boredom at bay.Bullock's L.A.-based trainer, Eden Paul, trained with Bullock 3-4 days a week to prepare her for The Proposal. "She wanted to emulate her character and look buff and smashing in suits," Paul says. Sandra, who will turn 45 this year (!), looks more amazing than ever. This just makes us want to adopt her work hard, play hard routine. "We love to incorporate plyometrics, weights, Pilates and boxing. " Bullock says the variety keeps her workout regime fresh and helps her maintain motivation to stay healthy and fit, but don't think that's her only incentive. "People ask, 'How do actresses do it?' Um, they pay us to do this in order to look good on film."

Work your whole body with a 35 minute circuit. It is recommended that you warm up for 4 to 5 minutes on the treadmill before doing this workout:

• Alternate three sets of 20 standing squats with three sets of push ups (as many as you can do in good form).

• Alternate three sets of 20 reverse lunges with three sets of 15 dumbbell dead lifts (Squat with dumbbells in each hand. Make sure your back is flat and knees don't reach past your toes).

• Alternate three sets of 15 side lunges (alternate sides) with three sets of 20 dumbbell bicep curls to shoulder press (with palms up curl dumbbells into your chest keeping your elbows close to your sides, press dumbbells up, bring your arms back down, reverse curl and repeat).

• Lie face up in a crunch position (legs in the air, spine flat on the ground) and scissor kick the legs for as many seconds as you can in good form. Rest and repeat three times.

The Diet:


Sandra uses some easy diet plans that anyone can do. “Last night I had brown rice and black beans and some steamed vegetables so today I’m going to have all kinds of good stuff! I love sweets, like Viennese pastry, raw cookie dough, or a nice bowl of Lucky Charms with milk that I eat in bed watching SNL. That’s heaven right there,” says Sandra, who balances her healthy diet with one “cheat day” each week- from Friday night to Saturday night.

I really changed my eating habits, from pizza and Diet Coke to something like maybe a piece of chicken and some vegetables on the side.”

Sandra eats what she wants, but tries to stay away from junk food until the weekend. She eats a balanced diet and uses portion control to stay slim as stated in www.howcelebritiesloseweight.com

About the yo-yo dieting when she was younger - “I’m going to get really fat.” ‘Then I’m going to complain about how fat I’ve got, then I’ll have to go on a diet, then I'll complain about being on a diet. It’s just a vicious circle. I’ve been a junk food junkie most of my life.’

According to InStyle Sandra wanted to "emulate her character and look buff and smashing in suits." Sounds like her hard work paid off. if you want to look like Sandra Bullock simply do these exercises and before you know it you'll loose weight and have a great body just like Sandra does.

LL Cool J’s platinum workout

Take a look at LL Cool J (Ladies Love Cool James) and you can see that a ton of work went into his body. You don't get in the shape he's in by putting in 50% effort, eating junk, and skipping workouts. You want a body as finely sculpted as LL Cool J? You have to do these strict workouts as shown in www.howcelebritiesloseweight.com


cool-j3



"So when I say whole body circuit training, I like to incorporate movements that really stress the largest muscles of the body. For example, we might do a set of squats (or leg presses), immediately followed by a set of pull-ups, or rows, and alternate back and forth for 3-4 sets. No rest between sets. Then rest 30-60 seconds, hit the chest with some dips, pushups, or bench, followed immediately by jumping lunges done with an overhead press." (holding dumbbells).

cool11






"Do this combo for 3-4 sets, and then we might do a boxing circuit where Todd is sparring with me for 1-2 minutes and between those sets, he's doing body weight jump squats. Follow all of this with interval training on a treadmill or outside on a track, depending on our setting, and he's slammed for the day."


cool21



"When I say interval training, we'll go 30 seconds of an all out sprint, followed by a 60 second jog, another 30 seconds sprint, etc. We did this routine this morning --- 10 sets of sprints, 10 jogs."
"There will be times I tell Scooter it's physically impossible for me to take 1 more step. And I can push it and do-but this man helps motivate me and really pushes hard. I've done the training; I've gone through the motions and done the endless sets of curls, leg extensions, etc on my own. That doesn't work like whole body, circuit training."

cool3



"I feel like one of those cartoons where my heart is pumping out of my chest, my muscles are burning, and I can't take another step. It's crazy hard and I'm the best shape of my life for a reason."

LL Cool J has a couple different weight loss methods. For one thing, we all know nutrition is over half the battle of getting in shape-I can give anyone the absolute best workout in the world on a daily basis, but if they're putting mud in their gas tank, it ain't gonna' cut it.

People get all caught up in the details, but sometimes they really just need the basics. So you can see in those charts the best carbs are loaded in fiber, the protein choices are loaded with amino acids for growth and recovery, and the fat choices are great sources of omega-3's and other healthy fats, yet lower in saturated fat as discussed in www.howcelebritiesloseweight.com

"I have never felt as good as I do now since changing my nutrition. Scooter Pie is insane, but in a good way. It's all good and it's helped make me the best physically. He'll be cooking for us on the bus, telling waiters how to prepare our food... that's what it takes. Dedication is at every turn. But I'm not saying you need a trainer, chef or anyone else to get results. The book lays the ground work for smart training and nutrition."
The quest for success should never end. The second you think you've reached the top, is the second your success comes to a screeching halt. Take nothing for granted, as it could all end tomorrow says bodybuilding.com.

According to kickfitsports.com, this mini-circuit makes your workout time fun and efficient by combining movements that raise your heart rate and target your shoulders, abdominals, buttocks, and thigh muscles all at once. With some of the exercises, don't be surprised if one side of your body is more difficult to train than the other side. We all have a more dominant side, but it is important to train them equally. Keep it up and you will develop balanced symmetry and stand tall with a strong sculpted sleek physique!

Exercise Routine


Before beginning this routine, warm up with something as simple as walking on a treadmill, cycling, or a brisk walk around the block. It should take about 8-10 minutes to slowly raise your core temperature and prepare your body for the workout.

Each exercise should take about 1 ½ minutes with 15 seconds to set up for the next exercise. Focus on great form while you do as many repetitions as noted. As you get stronger, progress by cycling through the circuit twice and then three times, for a more advanced level.

1. Crunches on the Stability Ball – Abdominals

A. Lie your back and buttocks on a firm stability ball with your feet flat on the floor and knees bent. Place your hands behind your head to avoid using your neck muscles.

B. On an exhalation, contract your abdominal muscles, bend forward at the waist, and roll your head, shoulders, and upper back off the ball. Be sure to pay special attention to “closing” the rib cage and compressing your back into the ball. Do 12 repetitions.

paula_abdul_22. Plank - Chest, Shoulders, Abdominals, & Quadriceps

A. Start by laying face down on the ground. Place your elbows directly below your shoulders, with forearms parallel to each other and the palms of your hand facing the floor. Curl your toes under and bend your knees.

B. Contract your abdominal muscles, straighten your knees, and balance on your toes and forearms. Maintain a strong center to avoid over-arching your lower back and sagging at your waist. Keep the hips at shoulder level and pull your abdominals in toward the spine. Maintain this position for 30 seconds, then bend your knees and lower your hips to the floor.
3. Knee Push Ups - Chest, Triceps, & Shoulders

A. Begin by kneeling with your knees hip-width apart. Place your hands on the floor shoulder-width apart with your fingers pointing forward. Pull the abdominals in toward your spine.

B. Keep your torso in a straight line and lower yourself toward the floor until your elbows are bent about 90-degrees. (You don’t need to touch your chest to the floor.) Contract your chest and push yourself back up. Check that you are pressing evenly over the palms of your hands. Avoid rolling to the outer edge of your hands. Keep your hips down and lift your belly up to prevent overarching your lower back. Do 12-16 repetitions.
4. Weighted “Figure 8” - Shoulders & Abdominals

A. Start from a seated position, legs bent at a 90-degree angle. Hold a 5 lb., dumbbell or medicine ball above the head with both hands. Roll back halfway or until you feel your abdominal muscles tighten. As you hold this position, focus on slowly and deliberately squeezing all muscles from the chest to pubic bone.

B. Begin to make “Figure 8” movements with both hands holding the weight. Work across the body from right to left. Continue until you have completed ten (10) “Figure 8” motions. Then, roll up and return to the start position. Do 3 repetitions.
5. Rotational Squat - Quadriceps, Buttocks, & Shoulders

A. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and your toes facing forward. Hold a 5 lb., dumbbell or medicine ball in front of your chest. Bend your knees into a squat and rotate your upper body to the right. Keep both arms straight and your hips and knees facing front.

B. Shift your weight to your left leg, straightening it as you lift your right knee in front of you. Simultaneously, rotate your torso to the center and raise your arms above your head. Remember to keep your arms straight throughout the entire movement. Step down and repeat the squat, rotating to your right for 8 repetitions. Switch legs and repeat on the other side.
6. Rear Lunge with Knee Lift Balance - Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Buttocks, Abdominals, & Shoulders

A. Begin by standing with feet together and hands at your sides. Lunge back with your left leg, bending both knees to 90-degrees. Make sure your right knee is directly above your right ankle. Straighten and raise both arms overhead, palms facing inward with your biceps near your ears. Pause for 2 seconds, pulling in your abdominal muscles to support an upright spine.

B. Simultaneously, push off with your rear left leg. Straighten and balance on your right leg with your left knee bent in front of you. Open and lower your arms to the side at shoulder height. Hold for 3-4 seconds. Circle your arms down and return to the start position. Do 8-12 repetitions. Switch legs and repeat.

Complete this circuit one (1) time if you are a beginner, two (2) times if you are at an intermediate level of fitness, and three (3) times if you are advanced as stated in www.howcelebritiesloseweight.com
Remember to always cool down before you finish this workout. You can do this by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, raise your arms overhead and lean your upper body to the left as far as you can while still breathing comfortably. Return to center and lean to your right side. Return to center, lower your arms to your sides, and roll your shoulders in a circle, then reverse. Finish by placing your hands at your hips and hinging forward with a straight back to stretch the backs of your legs and hips. Be sure to breathe fully and deeply throughout all of these cool down movements.

Nicole Richie Is Pregnant Again

richie_nicole-2Nicole Richie has gained a lot of public attention after her weight loss. Some people wonder if she took the weight loss to an extreme but are amazed and are asking about her secrets. Nicole says that she achieved this by following the right diet & exercises. If you want to burn fat and get very thin you need to take care of several things at the same time. You need to decide if you want to be that thin or not. Either way, her routine will help you lose weight regardless if your goal is to lose 10 pounds or 100 as discussed in www.howcelebritiesloseweight.com

Diet



  • Stay away from fad diets: Incase you want a safer weight loss then you must stay away from the fad diets. These starve you and make you lose weight by churning your muscles. This lost fat can be easily regained after the discontinuation of such diets.



  • Proper diet: You must take a healthy diet that contains lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. You must take a high fiber diet. Fiber plays an important part in burning the extra fat. You must also increase the daily water intake. It is necessary to drink at least 8 glasses of water every day when you are intending to lose the extra pounds naturally.



  • Acai berry is a Brazilian fruit that helps you burn the unwanted fat naturally without any side effects. This fruit is termed as the 'true superfood' for the dieters. It suppresses your appetite naturally but does not starve you. It supplies you with all the essential nutrients like the vitamins, minerals, proteins and fiber. It increases your energy levels and you feel active the whole day. It also gives a boost to your metabolism that helps in quick weight loss.


richie_nicoleExercise



  • Obtain a personal trainer. As stated in www.howcelebritiesloseweight.com, Nicole Richie, after giving birth to her son, found it beneficial to enlist the aid of a personal trainer to help her slim down in a healthy and stable manner. Cut out high-fat/high-cholesterol fast foods and stick to fruits, vegetables and meats high in protein content.


  • Try a heavy regime of cardiovascular activity, including running, walking and aerobic kickboxing to burn calories. Exercise at least once a day for an hour at a high cardio level to help you burn fat and kick-start your metabolism.


  • Stagger your cardio workout by switching up which machines/activities you use. For example, if you do the treadmill one day, alternate the next by doing the elliptical machine or stationary bike. Temper your cardio workout with weight-training exercises to help you build muscle slowly . If you are going to use both machines and weights during the same exercise, warm up first, then use weights and then use the cardio machines.


  • Stay healthy by not focusing on the numerical value of your weight. Richie has reported becoming obsessed with her weight, which led to dangerously unhealthy weight levels. Work with a nutritionist and trainer to design a workout and diet plan that is realistic and healthy for your lifestyle and body type.

Channing Tatum Fit

channing-tatumWilliam J. Harris, Channing Tatum's trainer from "Fighting" and also the trainer from Billion Dollar Bodies, shares with us Channing Tatum's exercise routines and diet. These are the secrets that he uses to a body like this as seen in www.howcelebritiesloseweight.com



'Channing was in decent shape when I started working with him but like a lot of guys, he likes to eat fast food and sink a few drinks,' says William J Harris, the New York-based personal trainer.

Bulking up, however, wasn’t on the agenda. ‘Channing didn't need to get bigger,’ says Harris. ‘In fact, we wanted him to shed some weight to make him look more agile, more like a fighter. The program I devised help him shift about 30 pounds in the three weeks before filming started.’

But rocking up to the set looking like a bodybuilder wouldn’t work either. ‘He needed to have strength, flexibility and endurance so I came up with a routine of rope turns and calisthenic bodyweight exercises, such as jumping jacks, burpees, press-ups, pull-ups and squats, to help him build that. I also threw in some classic compound moves using barbells and kettlebells.’

Exercise Routine


Tatum was given three exercises to perform each session and had to complete as many 'rounds' as he could within 20 minutes. 'Working out at a high intensity keeps the heart pumping and burns more calories,' says Harris. 'For the main barbell lifts, such as deadlifts, military presses, squats and clean and jerks, we found a weight Channing could lift quickly and comfortably ten times while maintaining perfect form.’

‘We changed what we did every session to keep his mind engaged and his body guessing,’ Harris says. 'I put him through a three-day-on, one-day-off routine and kept workouts to just 30 minutes. If you keep the intensity high you don't need to train for any longer than that.'

If you're more concerned with putting on muscle than burning fat, add more weight to these lifts and focus on completing four rounds in the session, rather than as many as you can in 20 minutes as stated in www.howcelebritiesloseweight.com

Day One
Warm-up – Five-minute jog.
Main workout – 20 minutes to do as many rounds as possible of 100 rope skips, 10 pull-ups and five clean and jerks.
Cool down – Five-minute light jog and stretching.

channing-tatum-gqDay Two
Warm-up – Five-minutes of skipping.
Main workout – 20 minutes to do as many rounds as possible of 20 burpees, 15 hanging leg raises and 20 bodyweight squats.
Cool down – Five minutes of skipping and stretching.

Day Three
Warm-up – Five minutes of skipping.
Main workout – 20 minutes to do as many rounds as possible of 400m sprints, 10 kettlebell swings and 10 press-ups.
Cool down – Five-minute light jog and stretching.

Day Four
Rest day before starting the routine again. To avoid getting bored during the following weeks, mix up the exercises from different sessions or include some of the additional ones listed below, but leave at least one day's rest between exercises that work the same muscle groups.

Other exercises to do:
25 burpees
75 press-ups
50 sit-ups
25 box jumps
Five deadlifts
50 walking lunges
20 jumping jacks
Five military press
10 bench press

Diet is just as important


Exercise is not enough though to get these kind of results. Having a healthy diet to go with it will get you these results.

Tatum's daily diet
Harris was responsible for Tatum’s diet, too. 'Just as exercise is all about intensity, food is all about quality,’ says Harris. ‘So we swapped the unhealthy ingredients in the food Channing likes for healthy ones – we gave him lean turkey rather than beef, for example, and swapped takeaway pizzas for homemade wholewheat ones topped with organic veggies. Processed and frozen foods, salt, sugar and alcohol were all no-nos.’
Here is an example of a typical days diet:

Breakfast: Omelette with veg, wholewheat toast and an orange.
Snack: Apple and unsalted nuts.
Lunch: Grilled chicken breasts, spinach and sweet potato.
Snack: Cottage cheese and mixed nuts.
Dinner: Turkey burger with mixed veg.
Snack: Yoghurt and a handful of almonds.
