I would also remind people that if you don't use proper technique when kettlebell training it can cause severe injury to your back. Thanks for the share.

I have back issues that crop up when I don't exercise. I have Kathy's kettle bell set it'd fun and gentle, but it does give you a good work out. It’s true.

]]> Comment on Fire Up Your Metabolism by Lynn http://www.kathysmith.com/fitness-guide/fitness/fire-up-your-metabolism#comment-1333 Lynn Sun, 06 May 2012 13:25:40 +0000 http://www.kathysmith.com/?p=2114#comment-1333 Even though all these changes seem simple in logic, it will be staying consistent that will be the hard part for me. I think as women we all martyr for everyone else until it comes to ourselves. Usually someone else always comes first or gives us reason to put ourselves second. I am not as fit as I'd like to be or as healthy based on the points above but I am not sick or outside my target weight range. I could get more sleep, drink more water, eat more regularly, workout more regularly and smarter. So, today I am starting....for me....without guilt that I am putting someone second....I'm just putting me first, not selfishly but more matter of factly. Good luck to all those who feel the same! ;) Even though all these changes seem simple in logic, it will be staying consistent that will be the hard part for me.

You could add in interval training to boost your metabolism and your endurance. I also gained a lot of weight with both my babies, and found that I had to add in some unconventional tools to get the weight to come off- I just wrote a blog post about this - if you are interested you can find it here http://www.mauimindandbody.com/weight-loss/still-trying-too-hard-to-lose-weight/ Working out is part of the solution.

I completed a 10 day juice feast (I don't like to call it a fast) and when I was finished with the 10 days, I continued to do the raw juices as a breakfast. Smaller meals and living foods will aid in the digestion that will allow the belly fat to finally give up.

Anyone interested in better health for life needs to start studying up on inflalmation. It affects not only digestive health as Kathy explained but heart and joint health as well. For the past 3o years we've been handed a diet of over processed foods whose main ingredients are usually corn based. Corn. Like they feed pigs and chickens. Its in everything purchased at a grocery store. Corn is a problem for many people and they don't even know it. The minor food allergies Kathy talks about are so often ignored by people who suffer from them. The food diary is a great idea. Pay attention to your gut. Masking the problem with Rolaids and GasX is not your answer. You must find the source of your personal inflamatory irritant and STOP EATING IT. Persons in their 20s and 30s may overlook this as not for them, but when you reach your 40s and 50s you will regret not taking note when one day you can't even do a session at the gym anymore because your joints are so inflamed or although you've had a healthy diet and moderate weight your doctor tells you you have heart disease. This information is is just the tip of the iceberg. Inflamtion needs to be the new focus in the health arena. I'm so glad Kathy brought it up. (that took guts...lol...sorry pun intended) INFLAMATION ! Anyone interested in better health for life needs to start studying up on inflalmation.
