If the only thing keeping you from starting a fitness program is the cost of a gym membership, here's good news. You don't need to join a gym to take physical activity seriously. Plenty of low-cost alternatives can help you get fit without breaking your budget. Consider these four tips to help you get started.
1. Take advantage of everyday opportunities
You don't necessarily need special equipment for an aerobic workout. With a little foresight, activities you may take for granted can become part of your fitness routine.
Step it up. Take a brisk walk every day, whether it's a path through your neighborhood or laps in a local mall. Take the stairs instead of the elevator or make a full workout of climbing the stairs. Sneak in extra steps whenever you can by parking farther away from your destination.
Make a workout of household chores. Mow the lawn, weed the garden, rake the leaves or shovel the snow. Even indoor activities such as vacuuming and scrubbing count as a workout if you increase your heart rate.
Join in the fun. If you have children, don't just watch them play. Join them for a game of tag or kickball. Walk them to the park. Dance. Take a family bike ride. Go to a community pool. Even if you don't swim, you can enjoy time in the water or walk in the shallow end.
2. Consider modest investments
If you're looking for fitness bargains, these inexpensive fitness products may be a good bet:
Dumbbells. Dumbbells are small, hand-held weights that you can use to strengthen your upper body. They're available in many sizes.
Resistance tubing. These stretchy tubes offer weight-like resistance when you pull on them. Use the tubes to build strength in your arms and other muscles. Choose from varying degrees of resistance, depending on your fitness level.
Jump-ropes. Skipping rope can be a great cardiovascular workout.
Fitness ball. A fitness ball looks like a large beach ball. You can do many core exercises, including abdominal crunches, with a fitness ball. You can also use a fitness ball to improve your flexibility and balance.
Exercise videos, DVDs or podcasts. Create the feel of a health club aerobics class in your own living room — or choose a program that'll help you improve your strength and flexibility. Pick a program that matches your current fitness level and is endorsed by a certified fitness instructor.
If you're able to make a slightly bigger investment, you might consider video games that are designed to get you moving. Depending on the software and game system, you may be able to plug in and dance, swing a virtual tennis racket, practice yoga, improve your strength and flexibility, and more.

Dumbbell Exercises That Are Easy
For those of you that do not want a gym membership and don’t have
enough space in your home for a complete workout area, dumbbell
exercises are the perfect solution. Dumbbell exercises allow you to work
almost every muscle group in your body. This article, however, will
focus on the muscles you want looking good before the summer season.
Seated Bicep Curls:
Begin seated with a dumbbell in each hand at your side. Then, slowly lift the dumbbell up towards your shoulder, slightly rotating the dumbbell so the grip bar is parallel to the ground. After, slowly lower the dumbbell back to the original starting position, and repeat with the other arm. The most important part of this dumbbell exercise is to keep the stress on your biceps, and to keep the rest of your body still.
Dumbbell Crunches:
Lie face up on a bench with your knees bent at the end and your feet on the ground. Hold one dumbbell to your chest with both hands, and lift your head and upper body straight towards the sky, pause, then lower back down to the bench. Combine this with a standing bend to get the always-desired six-pack. Holding a dumbbell in one hand at your side, slowly bend at the hips to the side of the dumbbell, keeping your arms and legs straight and focusing on your core. Repeat on the other side.
Shoulder Press:
Holding a dumbbell in each hand standing up, begin with the dumbbells next to your shoulders with elbows facing down. Then, push the dumbbells above your head until your arms are fully extended, pause, then lower to the starting position. Be sure to focus on your shoulders, and not to use your back in order to lift the weights. If needed, this exercise can be performed seated in a chair to provide support for your back.
Dumbbell exercises are used to focus on specific muscle groups. If you find yourself needing to use other muscles to perform these exercises, use lighter dumbbells to keep the stress on the intended muscle group.

Find an Exercise Program That Works for You
Whether you choose to exercise to feel better, look better, lose weight, follow doctor's orders, due to peer pressure or because you are tired of being out of shape, your exercise choices are nearly unlimited. Search the internet and you will find thousands of programs and styles and regimens. Which one is the best one? How do you choose from the vast array of choices? The best one for you is any of those. The best one for you is the one or ones you can do consistently.
Below are a few questions to ask as you search for an exercise program that suits you.
Why are you exercising?
If you are looking to lose weight, first start with your eating. You will not be able to out exercise poor food choices. But exercise geared toward weight loss is a product of time and effort. The more time you put into exercise the less effort you will need as long as you're raising your heart rate. If you are exercising to complete a specific event, spend a majority of your time on exercises geared toward that event.
How much time do you have?
If you have limited time, think twice before deciding to train for an Ironman or marathon. Find activities near your home or work so that you are not spending extra time getting to and going from the workout. Condense your exercise and increase the intensity so that you are able to maximize the time you have.
What resources do you have?
Do you own a home gym, a gym membership or have the money to pay for classes or personal training? Or are you filling milk cartons with water to simulate dumbbells? Gyms, workout rooms and personal trainers are great as they offer a broader variety of routines and equipment you can use to get moving. But running, hiking, and calisthenics can be done with no equipment and a limited budget.
What is your experience level?
Did you recently finish your eleventh marathon and looking to try something new or was your idea of exercise going from the couch to the refrigerator? If you are new to exercising or haven't exercised in some time, start slow. High intensity exercises are very trendy but jump into them too early and you risk injury and burnout.
Try swimming, fast walking or jogging, or low intensity aerobics. Or use smaller weights in a resistance training program as you learn proper form. As you gain strength and increase your breathing capacity you can raise the intensity.
What type of personality do you have?
Are you organized with a planner that activates your life or do you get up in the morning and decide where to go from there? Do you like to work out alone or do you prefer being part of a group? Do you work better with a goal in mind or does that just work to frustrate you?
Be careful not to choose a program that goes against your personality type. If you hate large crowds, don't choose a 10k event with 30,000 other participants or a crowded aerobics class. If you like to be a part of a group, think twice before deciding on ultra-marathons.
Mix it up and Keep moving.
The benefits of exercise, both physical and psychological are significant. Don't give up because you haven't found something that works for you. Try something new. The internet is a great resource for exercise programs. Find one and try it. Even if you like it, think about mixing it up to avoid burn out. A change will also work different muscles.
Getting your lungs in shape and your muscles taut is not a one size fits all endeavor. You are not the same as your neighbor, spouse or friends. Don't give up because their idea of exercise is not yours. Eventually, you will find something that clicks and your body and mind will thank you for it.

Parkinson's Disease fighter comes out with DVD
A Westport man in his 80s with Parkinson's Disease who published an exercise book to deter the ailment has issued a DVD.
Paul Green, 88, who has had the disease for almost 20 years, is the founder of the Never to Surrender to Parkinson's Foundation, a nonprofit focused on raising awareness of recent studies proving that exercise slows Parkinson's effects.
The 35-minute DVD, selling for $15, contains Zumba exercises set to reggae music by music group Mystic Bowie. It also includes rowing exercises demonstrated by Green. Proceeds will go toward the foundation's mission to spread the word about exercise's positive effects against the disease, according to a foundation news release.
About a year ago, Green, a Navy ensign during World War II, published "Nevah Surrendah to Parkinson's," a 38-page exercise booklet. The book, named afterWinston Churchill's famous "We Shall Fight on the Beaches" speech, is free.
Donations to support Green's efforts to raise awareness through the foundation's website, newsletters, media and other methods may be sent to Never Surrender to Parkinson's Inc., 15 Old Mill Road, Westport CT 06880.

How to Get Adequate Sleep for Fast Recovery and Optimal Performance
Exercising and playing sports are essential parts of living an
active lifestyle. Engaging in healthy activities like these is a great
way to maintain good health while also having fun during leisure time.
However, too much exercise, or improper exercise, can also cause
problems. Exercise causes natural damage to the muscles, joints, and
ligaments. This damage is also repaired naturally, however, which
results in an increase in cellular strength and functionality. In this
way, individuals who live an active lifestyle must take measures to
ensure the body may recovery afterwards and return to full strength.
Moreover, it is important to know how to prevent bodily injury both
during and after exercise. Specifically, one must exercise correctly,
safely, and get sleep well enough to provide the body with enough time
to make a full and natural recovery.
Workout and training exercises are vital, especially if you are a professional athlete. Through training regiments, both athletes and non-athletes develop their bodies in a number of ways that improve athletic performance. These include increasing mobility, flexibility, speed, dexterity, power, and endurance. However, overdoing the exercises and putting too much strain on the body may result in injury or other conditions that impede peak performance. The most common of these negative outcomes include sprains, muscle strains, stiffness, and lactic acid buildup. Athletes are always at risk from certain injuries especially involving their muscles, joints, and bones due to the physical activities they perform. Too much pressure and usage of muscles can deplete muscle energy and lead to the production of excess lactic acid. Lactic acid buildup, in turn, causes muscle burn, pain, and swelling.
The first way to ensure a fast and healthy recovery from exercise is to make sure that the activities are performed properly and safely. Moreover, it is important to perform exercises that do not exceed the body's natural limitations in terms of strength or flexibility. Exceeding the body's capacity for output, in this way, will cause overexertion and injury. Some people tend to intensify their exercises without actually consulting a trained health or exercise professional. In extreme cases, this can cause muscle tears, sprains and strains that may render the body inoperable.
Another way to proactively safeguard against injury, and thus set the stage for a fast recovery, is to adequately warm up prior to exercise. Warm up exercises improve blood and fluid circulation while also preparing the mind for the coordination needed to perform the specific act, or acts, of the exercise or sport. After every strenuous activity, it is also essential to provide the body sufficient time to rest in order for the worked out muscles, joints and bones to recuperate and rejuvenate. Sleep is an essential component when recovering and attaining optimum performance when playing sports.
Finally, one must sleep well in order to make a fast and healthy recovery after physical activity. This is critical because the body heals during rest periods, and nightly sleep states of 7-8 hours provide the ideal environment for both mental and physical regeneration. To get the best sleep, it would be a great move to invest in adjustable beds and comfortable mattresses and pillows. Adjustable beds are popular among world-class athletes because they offer the ability to change head or foot articulation, enabling the individual to adjust the bed so they lie in a position of least resistance to gravity. Adjustable beds do not only help users obtain the best sleep but they also help muscles, joints, bones and nerves to recover properly through proper sleeping position. Health experts recommend this sleeping position in order to promote proper blood and oxygen flow, which are very essential in the healing process of the body as well as in preventing conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system of the body.
In closing, it is important that both athletes and non-athletes take steps towards making a healthy recovery after physical exercise. First, one must make sure they are performing the exercises in a correct and safe manner. Then, one must warm up adequately before exercising to prevent muscle, tendon, ligament, or joint injury. Finally, one must sleep in a way that promotes blood, oxygen, and nutrient flow throughout the night to ensure the body receives the resources it needs to rebuild itself.

5 Things to Remember When Picking Zumba Fitness Ware
Zumba is a form of fitness that is very entertaining and
enjoyable, and because of this, part of the enjoyment is looking good
while your feeling good. You don't have to look like you just got out of
bed! You can find Zumba Fitness Ware online that will enhance your
spangle and glitter and make you the talk of the exercise floor. Beyond
looking sexy, you will be able to move with greater comfort when you
have a workout or dance outfit that you like.
Most Zumba Fitness Ware is specifically targeted toward the ladies and thats O.K. because it makes them look and feel more sexy, and that makes the dancing and exercising more entertaining.

1. Do you like them it?
2. Are they the right color and size to boost your self confidence?
3. Make sure you can move around without any restrictions because your going to be moving everything, especially your hips.
4. Some people like loose fitting clothes and others want something Spand-X tight. This is dependent on your style.
5. Remember your going to be perspiring and it's got to go somewhere. Absorbent material may be the way to go at first.
I'm not going to tell you to spend big bucks on special Zumba Fitness Ware, because at first you don't know if it's something that you want to do or not. So don't pass up on a few of those special bargains that you find while your looking. Sports stores to Dance studios will have nice tops to ware, and paints that are loose are what you should be looking for also. Look for a bandanna, hair strip or an absorbable sweat band for your forehead to keep the sweat from getting in your eyes.
The choices that you have for Zumba Fitness Ware are beyond imagination. Just remember that your going to work your self into shape and you will look more beautiful than you have in quite some time. Because of this change that you are going to experience you should be slow to buy a lot of new pieces of equipment. Don't forget about accessories.

Not only do they look good, but they feel good, because they dry faster than any other material. This is better for your skin because it keeps it really dry that will make it feel good.
Zumba Shoes are different that regular street tennis shoes that you would normally ware. The sole of a Zumba shoe doesn't have grip to it, because they are dance shoes, which will allow you to slide a little. If the sole were to grip you could trip and fall on the dance floor, so make sure you get the right kind of sole.

Fitness Is a Must
A jump rope, an old truck tire, and eight pound sledge hammer,
and a barbell with weight! Looks pretty basic right? However, when you
combine that with a timer, imagination and some desire, what you get is a
high quality workout in a short amount of time, and eventually a strong
desire for more! This is how we roll in The Fitness Dungeon. I know for
some this part may be hard to wrap your mind around but just as a baby
does not come out of the womb running marathons, this too will take some
time to develop. However, as a 'My Life" expert, it's my job to share
the benefits of choosing an active lifestyle versus one of mediocrity
and simply existing, because after all it is a choice - your choice.
In this short post, you will read something that will IMPACT you in a positive way and learn that you don't need fancy equipment, or a gym membership in order to improve your life for the better! This will in turn, INSPIRE you to do something about your own fitness, if not already doing so, and perhaps you learn something here that will help to IMPROVE your fitness routine for the better!
Now let's talk a piece of fitness equipment that is often overlooked, yet it is by far, one thing that I can not be without! You can take it anywhere and use it just about anywhere and it it probably the most inexpensive item in your fitness arsenal. I am talking about the jump rope. To look at it, you would think that it's no problem and you might be thinking "that is no sweat, and I can jump rope for hours!" Perhaps you can, but for the majority, this little rope, can make turn the tuff into timid after just 10 minutes!
Speaking of 10 minutes, did you know that skipping rope at a moderate level can be the equivalent to 30 minutes of jogging? Yes that is right! That is why I have trouble with the fact that most people overlook this piece of equipment opting for something that cost more and is inferior to a simple jump rope! You will notice that a boxer (amateur or pro) uses this rope as a cornerstone of their fitness routine, but I digress.
So let me tell you how I used in this fitness tune up session! After my five minutes of warm up, followed by light stretching, I would start skipping rope at a moderate pace for one minute! Then I would step to the 45 pound barbell with some light weight (it was my light day so forgive me) and power clean with overhead thrust for a minute. Then, with only 9 seconds to get to the next station, I would pound away on the truck tire with the eight pound sledge hammer for one minute. After doing all three stations, that would be one round complete. Now what you need to know is I set my timer up for 12 to 15, one minute rounds (depending on how I feel) and I don't rest until all rounds are completed!
Now you need to know it was not always like this for me! This is not to impress you, as much as it is to impress upon you that fitness is a must. And having a heart attack as my wake up call to change my eating habits and get back to fitness is what did it for me! Now I like to think that I had that heart attack so you don't have to.
So hopefully you have been impacted, and inspired in a positive way and you now want to improve yours or the live of someone you know, because we all have a purpose for being here!
The purpose for my life is to use it as a means to helping others IMPROVE their life! No, it does not have to intense like what was described here but it should be something! I don't care if it's walking everyday, swimming or whatever, as long as it's something! Well that about all I have for today, as my purpose is not to preach to you but to share with you! After all...

Martial Arts for Overall Health
Everyone wants to enjoy an awesome life, and martial arts provides children and adults alike a unique avenue for refining their overall well-being. Martial arts challenges a person over time in such a way that they are sure to cultivate patience, humility, determination, focus and self-confidence. It's also a great way to get in excellent physical shape and practitioners find that they're able to lose weight, gain muscle, increase flexibility and improve stamina. When you add all of these factors together, it isn't hard to imagine why martial arts students generally report that they feel great!
My grandmother used to tell me when I was four years old, "Patience is a virtue." At that time I didn't have any clue what she was talking about, but over time I've begun to piece things together. In life, it's critical to be able to wait for things instead of expecting instant gratification. Our culture sometimes encourages us to take the lazy route, but ultimately it's on us to make sure we know how to do things over time. You've got to exercise your 'patience muscle' in martial arts because the bottom line is that you won't be able to pick it all up at once.
A lot of people bring their ego everywhere with them and it causes a lot of friction. If friction were the only issue it caused, however, that might be all right-but everyone knows that being haughty and aggressive is a recipe for trouble. Although the ego purports to be on our side, the truth is that it often serves no real purpose other than holding us back. When we let go of our pride and holier-than-thou attitude, the world embraces us more readily and it enables us to move forward. When you start getting into martial arts, you'll find that puffing up gets you nowhere and you'll learn how to check your ego at the door.
Just like anything worthwhile in life, you've got to put sustained effort into the mix if you hope to end up with great results. There aren't too many areas in life where this is more pronounced than in the context of martial arts, and you'll find that determination will keep you moving when things seem tough. You've got to have an overarching vision for what you are hoping to gain from your experience if you seriously expect to make it through, and getting involved in martial arts is the perfect way to develop this form of strength.
Everyone knows that focus is important. Our culture is going through a lack-of-focus epidemic, and parents are wise to figure out ways to help their children learn the skill of focused attention sooner than later. When you know how to focus all your attention on a certain task, the possibilities for making things happen are endless. Because the martial arts first and foremost require focus, an individual who's engulfed in the training will inevitably hone their skills in this area. When your efforts are detail-oriented, you can't help but produce quality work-and that pays back huge dividends.
One of the most critical psycho-emotional aspects of life is self-confidence. If you walk around with your head down, you aren't going to be able to get very far. On the other hand, if you lack self-confidence and you try to make up for it by domineering and patronizing others, you'll find that you're going down a dead-end road. The only real solution is to believe in yourself-your talents, your potential, and ultimately your inherent self-worth. More and more people are discovering every day that they are able to discover their own inner strength through practicing martial arts.
We talked a moment ago about the lack-of-focus epidemic. Another major issue that's facing Americans is rampant obesity. Most people suffer from excessive body fat in varying capacities, and tens of millions of people die every year from cardiovascular disease. Having a healthy heart is central to a joyful life, and the way to get your heart up to speed is to exercise. As you might imagine, martial arts is a superior channel for chiseling out a fit, healthy and functional body. Suffice it to say that if you're training several times weekly, there isn't any chance that you'll be catching your breath on the way up the stairwell.
A lot of people like the bodybuilder physique, and that's fine and it looks great aesthetically, but ultimately what's most important is functional strength. If your muscles are huge but you're unable to unscrew a pickle jar's lid, you've obviously got a problem. Bodybuilders often face the reality that they can bench-press an astounding amount of weight, but when it comes to practical situations their strength doesn't help so much. On the other hand, the muscle you'll gain through martial arts will easily transfer to important activities (like carrying things around).
A lot of people find that as they get older, they get a little stiff. One easy solution to that problem is to stretch, stretch and stretch some more. Beyond stretching, the body needs to move around a fair amount in order to stay loose. Although stretching has its clear perks, some folks see it as boring and they aren't able to find the time to do it regularly. Yoga is one awesome way to get more limber, and alternatively, martial arts can help you move in the same direction. Depending on what form of martial arts you pursue, stretching might end up being a central part of the practice.
All athletes know that the most important factor to physical exertion is stamina. A burst of energy that lasts 45 seconds typically doesn't win the race, and the surest way to reach the finish line is to be able to pace oneself. Aesop's Tortoise and the Hare comes to mind, and we're reminded that steadily moving forward is the key. This is as true in martial arts as it is in life at large, and through your training you will get better and better at controlling your energy output. Most people usually "gas out" easily when they first get started, but over time they learn how to control their breathing, and to avoid muscle tenseness.
Getting into martial arts is a beautiful way to start radically improving your quality of life. This article barely scratches the surface of all the various benefits, but my hope is that it has served as a little window into the mental and physical transformation that people undergo as a result of their involvement. If you're looking for a straightforward way to step up your whole outlook on life, you can't go wrong with training in martial arts. The benefits are practically endless, so check out a school around your area today!

Best Place to Buy Plus Size Jeans for Women
In general, women look alluring in jeans, and that applies to plus size women, too. This brief guide about the best places to buy plus size jeans for women will help to make your next shopping spree a breeze.
Shopping online has become so common nowadays that a growing number of people now prefer to shop online. There are many reasons for this, but at the top of the lists are convenience and steep discounts, compared to what brick-and-mortar retailers in town could ever offer.
Many retailers are aware that the World Wide Web (WWW) is a giant cash register and the number of potential customers is virtually infinite. That is why many retailers, especially established ones, now have online presence to tap this huge market.
That is all dandy for plus size consumers of course because they are now spoilt for choice. The number of patterns, styles, shapes, prices and colors are mind-boggling. All one has to do is sit in front of the computer and then pick-and-choose at your convenience. You won't have to worry about eyeballs following your every step, unlike in retail stores.
But the problem with online shopping is that it is sometimes quite difficult to tell the genuine and scam operators apart. If you buy from the wrong establishment, you can kiss your hard-earned money goodbye. To help you resolve this problem, I am going to tell you four top retailers which you can patronize when shopping for plus size jeans for women.
(a) Delias - Looking for jeans which can fit a size 18? Delias is well worth a look. They have a nicely laid-out catalogue which you are free to browse online till your heart's content. Delias has a wide collection of jeans, and their offerings, in terms of colors, are also quite wide. Forget about searching for Delias in your city because they only have an online presence.
(b) Fashion Bug - If you are into style and affordability, Fashion Bug is a good starting point. Yes, their selection might not be as extensive as some online fashion stores, but their jeans are stylish and affordable. Unlike Delias, you can find Fashion Bug stores nationwide, that is if you are still skeptical about shopping on the Internet.
(c) Torrid - Similar to Fashion Bug, Torrid sells both online and in brick and mortar stores. The prices of their jeans are slightly on the high side but one of their competitive advantages over their competitors is that they have jeans ranging from size 12 to 28, and in a gamut of styles and colors. Shopping at Torrid is cool because their interface is user-friendly.
(d) Lane Bryant - Like Torid and Fashion bug, Lane Bryant started with physical stores and expanded into cyberspace. This retailer is very popular, especially among teenagers. But be careful with your pick because there have been complaints that their clothes are baggy and at times tight in the wrong places. But such grouses are mostly isolated cases. In general, they are well worth a look, especially in terms of styles and price.

What To Consider When Buying Diamond Rings
Modern engagement rings are quite a hit nowadays, because people are more exposed to different designs. Some people are more daring in exploring different options and combinations that they'd go for anything extraordinary. Despite that, the fact remains that diamonds are always their first choice. The bearing that comes with its name can be tagged with the commitment of binding yourself to the person that you want to marry someday. Before you buy anything, you have to learn how to evaluate the quality of the ring that you want to purchase. If you prefer diamonds, there are certain elements that you need to look into carefully. Here are some things that can help you out:
• Clarity. A diamonds' clearness is directly proportional to its durability. The clearer it is, the longer it will last. Most diamonds contain inclusions which cannot readily be seen by the eye. These are favored, because they make each one different from another. However, the size and position of these inclusions are assessed for clarity. The fewer they are, the higher the quality of the diamond.
• Color. Most diamonds are colorless, although some contain traces of different elements or colors.
