Saw this here. And thought, it’s very helpful!
With a new decade upon us, getting fit from the inside out is sure to be a popular resolution. Everybody wants a crisp, fresh start: slimmer hips, better health and less stress in their lives than they had in the aughts. It’s easy to promise yourself you will get healthy with a brand-new trainer, a membership at the hottest yoga studio in town and a diet filled with nothing but organic fruits and vegetables.
But as we head into the new year, you will realize each resolution carries a hefty price tag. With your bank account still smarting a bit from Christmas spending and your reserve accounts low due to the recession, now may not be the time to create more financial commitments for yourself.
Don’t let a lack of cash interfere with your well-intentioned motivation! There are lots of great, easy ways to get fit, wholesome and healthy without spending a dime.
Step 1 Join the library.
Join your local library to connect to a great health and fitness resource. Check out low-fat cookbooks and copy your favorite recipes. Browse through the exercise books and fitness magazines to collect training tips. Spin through the video/DVD section to see if your library has any fitness DVDs that you can borrow.
Many libraries have games available; take home a game of Pictionary, Twister or Cranium and burn some calories after dinner instead of vegging out in front of the TV. Check out craft books to pick up a hobby that keeps idle, snacking hands busy, like sewing, knitting or origami. Your library also may have a community board full of people interested in starting walking groups, committing to bike trips, taking garden tours or wanting to volunteer in the community. It’s a surefire way to fit in a little (free) exercise while getting to know your neighbors.
Step 2 Floss.
Flossing every day may help keep your blood pressure down and your heart healthy. Scientists from Columbia University published a study in medical periodical Circulation in 2005 that found a correlation between patients who suffered from gum disease and oral plaque build up and patients with increased carotid artery wall thickness.
The researchers concluded this might mean that people who have gum disease are at greater risk of developing atherosclerosis and heart disease. Negate your risk and stay healthy with studious, daily brushing and flossing.
Step 3 Take a hike.
You don’t need to sign up for an expensive gym in order to get fit this year. You don’t even need to buy any home equipment. Good, old-fashioned push-ups and sit-ups accompanied by a walking or jogging plan will keep you in great shape all year round.
Start with three sets of 10 standard push-ups and 100 sit-ups followed by 20 minutes of walking or running. Complete the routine three to four times a week. You can vary the muscle groups you target in push-ups by moving your legs away from or toward each other. Sit-ups can target different muscle groups depending on how they are performed - check out additional tips in fitness magazines at the library.
Step 4 Write it down.
Record your daily exercise and food intake in a journal or logbook. Note duration of exercise, long-term exercise goals, how long you took to eat each meal and what your emotional state was before eating. Within a few days you will have pegged down how what time of day you are most likely to exercise and identify some of your emotional eating triggers. You can use this information to help evolve your health and fitness habits.

I met this girl a few times before and when I saw her again weeks ago, I just have to ask her about her very fine face! Well, she directly told me that she used this same kind of best acne treatments that a friend of her recommended too. Although, I don’t have problems with acne’s only during PMS days.I just thought, this site is very helpful for those who are having trouble with acne’s. It’s surely a hassle!

I still have my cough for almost 2 months now..this is insane! LOL I will go to my doctor tomorrow though…but if you’re suffering for sore throat like me..this is helpful! Saw it over in eHow.

1. Drink 4 to 6 glasses of water per day. Don’t smoke or drink alcohol. Avoid very hot drinks and sugary colas because they can irritate your throat’s delicate membranes.
2. A hot cup of water with 2 teaspoons of honey and the juice of half of a lemon is very effective. The honey soothes, and the citrus of the lemon kills germs.
3. Add 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to a cup of warm water. Gargle a mouthful, spit it out and then swallow a mouthful. Repeat until the liquid is gone. Both the warm water and the vinegar will kill the germs infecting your throat.

I have to do something with my gained weight because if not, I don’t know what I will do..sigh..treadmills does help a lot when you want to lose weighty faster! It’s a little tiring specially when you are a first timer in the gym! But it works like magic when you eat with proper diet as well! Anyhow, I promise myself to do biking every afternoon from now on!
