7 Valuable Ways for a Speedy Boot Camp Exercise You Might Do in Your Own Home

You are able to shape up at your home by simply using a simple boot camp workout. To get this done you should warm-up for two minutes through running, perform squats for one minute, perform pushups for one minute, execute runs for 2 minutes, perform a plank for 1 minute, perform bicycle crunches for 1 minute, and rotate your arms for 2 minutes.

You can still be in good physical shape even if you do not have the precious time or cash to go to a fitness center. Boot Camp exercises are an effective way of shaping up and could simply be done in the convenience of your own house. Follow these steps to complete a quick 12-minute bootcamp exercise:

Night Vision in Cats

Cats see very well in the dark, which is important to their natural nocturnal hunting behavior. Though they are unable to see in complete blackness, they are able to perceive more than we can in very low light. The cat’s eye has several anatomic features that are designed to enhance their night vision.

Cats have elliptical pupils that are oriented vertically. This elliptical pupil allows it to open much larger than a human’s round pupil. The larger pupil lets in more light and enhances a cat’s vision in low light.

Another important feature of a cat’s eyes is a membrane called the tapetum lucidum. The tapetum is designed to reflect light within the eye itself and allow more light to reach the retina. The flash of a cat’s eyes in the dark, or “eyeshine” that we see, is light reflecting off of the cat’s tapetum.

Mirai Clinical: The Best All Day Freshness & Anti-aging Product!

Many women notice changes in their body odour, especially as they age. Reduced estrogen levels and natural aging sometimes result in a specific body odour cause by Nonenal. Nonenal can be particularly troublesome to those who are more prone to perspiration, or are affected by outside influences that can exacerbate odour.

Mirai's revolutionary body care regimen, exclusively designed by their anti-aging specialists in Japan, will help prevent and minimise skincare symptoms associated with diminishing estrogen levels.

Sugar Substitues Explained

So far in my recipes that I have posted in the past, sugar was never an issue. Now I will be experimenting with some sweeteners for recipes when I have a sugar craving. It can be confusing coming into the low-carb, low or no sugar game and being faced with all the options.
The following explains why I use one here and another one there…

SPLENDA

I LOVE Splenda granular – it’s usually found in any grocery store – and several have their own “house” brand that is less expensive. It measures exactly like sugar and for drinks, sprinkling on foods, or moist desserts it works fabulously. Custards, puddings, mousses, sauces, cheesecakes, fruit pies, crisps, cobblers, custard pies such as pumpkin…for those types of things it is just perfect. BUT…it doesn’t work well in baked goods such as muffins, cakes, some cookies, quick breads, etc. Those types of dishes require the chemical properties of sugar for their raising, texture, crumbs, and general mouth-feel. Splenda doesn’t “cream till light and fluffy” and doesn’t help with the VOLUME of the recipe, so it doesn’t give the gorgeous end-product that I require my homemade goodies to have! So…Maltitol (Nature Sweet is a brand name…) and Whey Low are what I call for in those types of recipes.

Cat Safety on July Fourth

Summer—and the Fourth of July in particular—is a great time to have friends over for a backyard barbecue, but summer parties can pose potential threats to your cat. Follow these tips to help keep your cat safe during the summer and holiday fun:

Food: It may be tempting to give your cat table scraps during a summer barbecue, but refrain from doing this. All the seasoning and sauces used on barbecue food can upset your cat's stomach and make her sick. There is also the potential for your cat to consume raw beef or chicken during a barbecue, which could result in salmonella poisoning. Likewise, consuming unattended alcoholic beverages, even in small amounts, can cause serious health issues for your cat. So be sure to keep all food and beverages out of your cat's reach.

6 Infertile Women Get Pregnant After Weight-Loss Surgery

Weight-loss surgery may treat infertility in some obese women, a new study says.
Six women in the study who were infertile due to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a condition that can occur with weight gain and cause infertility, became pregnant following weight-loss surgery, the researchers say.

The study was small and more research is needed to confirm the findings. But for women with PCOS, weight-loss surgery may be a cure for infertility, said study researcher Dr. Mohammad Jamal, an assistant professor of surgery at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.

Is Salad Making You Fat?

So you’ve been eating nothing but salads for weeks and the scale is not moving. You might be surprise to hear that your favorite salad dressing may be the cause. Annually, Americans consume 9 billion pounds of lettuce, 5.4 billion pounds of fresh tomatoes, 2 billion pounds of carrots and 252 million pounds of cucumbers.

Unfortunately, they often undo that collective good by slathering millions of pounds of creamy high-calorie mayo-based dressings atop those vegetables. In addition to mayonnaise, some companies use butter or cream cheese to enhance flavor. Just 2 tablespoons of some of my favorite salad dressings (like Blue Cheese) have up to 17 grams of fat, and I know I am guilty of using more than 2 tablespoons on a large dinner salad.

Movie Theatre Popcorn Uncovered

So you skip out on lunch, go to the movies and split a large popcorn and diet coke with your significant other. Can’t be that bad right? I have seen several articles stating that popcorn is low in calories and even low carb so what’s the problem? Well it’s the way that they cook it, but most of all, the butter. An average small popcorn is said to have 600 calories, a slice of cheesecake at 410. So let’s get to that large popcorn.

10 money talks to have before marriage or living together

Before you and your honey merge households, make sure you're on the same page financially. Here are 10 things to talk about before getting hitched or moving in together.

They say love conquers all - but when it comes to money, not so much. Finances are a leading cause of strife in relationships and for most new couples, talking about money is really hard to do. That's why it's so important to make sure you and your honey get good at talking about your finances early on - preferably before you walk down the aisle. After all, how a person handles money tells you a lot about who they are. Putting your finances on the table before the big day can help ensure you start your life together on a healthy financial footing.

20 Minutes of RevAbs... 20 More to Go!

Well, it's day 2 of my RevAbs challenge and I'm sweating like there's no tomorrow! I've tried both DVD's, but have only been able to complete half. I can complete the first round on both DVD's, and then I crash and burn! I am determined to complete the full 40 minutes of each, but it will take a few more days to work up to it.

I've spent far too long being out of shape, it will take some work to get back into shape. So far I'm feeling good and proud that I've managed to workout for 20 minutes at a time. Even though it's only 20 minutes... RevAbs is a crazy ab workout that will get you sweating. One thing that I need to do is pick up a mat to go down on my wood floor. I find that some of the stretches I slip and slide around trying to hold my balance.

I'll keep you all updated as to when I can finish a full 40 minute workout... until then I'll keep on sweatin!

My New RevAbs Exercise Fitness Challenge

For those of you that have been following my weight loss process, I have gone from 300Lbs to 217Lbs in about a six month period. Other then walking, I haven't introduced any workouts. Starting tomorrow I'm introducing RevAbs from Beachbody into my routine. Beachbody sent me two DVDs from their collection: The Full Throttle Intervals, and I'm looking forward to kicking butt!

I have decided to commit to a 6 month RevAbs fitness challenge, and will stick to following a schedule. I will be increasing my walking to equal at least 30 mintues a day, and will take the stairs everywhere I come across them. I will write a monthly review sharing my progress along the way.

CPR in Cats

Despite your best efforts to keep your cat safe, the unthinkable can happen. Your cat could choke on a toy, chew through an electric cord, slip out the door and get hit by a car, or collapse from heatstroke on a hot day. Any number of serious illnesses or injuries could lead to respiratory arrest (failure to breathe) and then rapidly spiral into cardiac arrest (stopped heart) and ultimately death. If your cat fell unconscious and stopped breathing, would you know what to do?

CPR, or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is an emergency procedure used to restore life to an animal (or human) whose breathing or heartbeat has stopped. The goal of CPR is to keep oxygen flowing to the brain and other vital organs until more definitive treatment can be obtained. CPR does not take the place of proper veterinary care. But when conducted appropriately, it can make all the difference for your cat.

Meat Free Protein: 6 alternative protein sources for building muscle and losing fat

1) EGGS
These chick starter kits may be the best source of protein in the entire grocery store—and that includes the meat aisle. Eggs are cost efficient, too. You get around seven grams of pure protein per egg—and a dozen cost you less than two bucks. Contrary to popular lore, eat the whole egg, with the yolk, not just the white, which has lower levels of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.
