Weight Loss

Weight loss is serious business. Treat it that way. Weigh yourself every morning – a study in the Annals of Behaviour Medicine shows that people who do daily weigh-ins are more successful losers – and write the number down. When you get discouraged (say, you haven’t lost half a kilo in a week) seeing your long-term progress will boost your motivation.

Hi Just wanted some advice. the vibro - shaper machines like the crazy fit & verimark's maxxus etc. does it really work? should i rather get an exercise bike? I am at my wits end.

These machines claim to "shake" off fat and to help with blood circulation. Before I buy one, could you please help me in making a decision.

I am a sucker for all the gadgets on TV, and presently have an Orbitrek and a power-plate (not the Verimark one, though). Although the Orbitrek is a good workout - when I can motivate myself - and the power-plate is great to just sit on after a workout and feel the circulation get going, I miss my old treadmill.
A good quality treadmill is, in my view, the way to go for a long-term routine and building fitness. If you enjoy walking and have the space I recommend it.
