Shorter workouts for better results

Doing intervals of intense training for as little as six minutes can do more for your fitness levels than cardio workouts that last as long as 45-60 minutes, according to research from McMaster University in Canada. Those who did four to seven 30 second bursts of "all-out" exercise, followed by four minutes of recovery time, three times a week for two weeks, significantly increased their endurace capacity over those who did traditional cardio training.
"Overall, 1.5 hours a week (including rest periods) of intense interval bursts equaled the results of 4.5 hours of regular training."

Nuts for weight loss



Nuts are one of the best snacks for people trying to lose weight and to keep the blood sugar levels under check. Nuts are loaded with heart healthy fats and rich in several nutrients, including vitamin E, magnesium, fiber and protein. Many clinical studies proved that adding nuts to a person's diet did not increase his weight to the extent expected. The clinical trials concluded that nuts might suppress the appetite so that people eat less food later in the day, or that people offset the calories from nuts through increasing energy expenditure. So give a break to the zero calorie sweeteners that you are consuming with your snacks and add a serving of nuts or nutrition bars loaded with nuts to your diet.
