This week on the Biggest Loser you will notice more changes. 24 Hour Fitness is no longer sponsoring the gym (and you’ll notice that nobody is wearing a bodybugg – a 24 hour fitness product – anymore). What was introduced this week was the SlimCoach. It is being billed as the Biggest Loser SlimCoach, but the reality is this comes from a company called MyTrak. There are some interesting points to this device.

It tracks your steps (no surprise) so you can see your steps, and how many miles you taken as well as “Heart Minutes.” Heart Minutes are minutes you have completed where the activity was energetic enough that it elevates the heart to a level that has positive health benefits. You can set up goals for yourself. Slimcoach/MyTrak calculates how much you need to move to reach your goal. All you need to do is push the giant button on the device to get instant feedback. Red is bad, yellow is better, and green means you’ve reached your goal that’s simple. To get a “Bigger Picture” you sync the unit via USB, and it uploads to their website (which is where you set your goals and such).  It senses not only your movement but the intensity of your movements.

Here are some thing that set it apart. First if you are a swimmer you can purchase an accessory to take the unit in the pool with you. Secondly, some pedometers aren’t much help if you get on a stationary bike. You can purchase an optional polar heart rate chest strap and the Slimcoach/MyTrak and it will track your heart rate while you exercise.According to their website, “Since MYTRAK relies on hip movement to calculate energy expenditure, a heart rate belt would be a valuable tool to capture energy expenditure on these types of activities.  When combined with MYTRAK, a heart rate belt will convert your heart rate to calories equivalent and credit you on your MYTRAK. “  When using an optional heart rate belt, MYTRAK displays whether your current heart rate is within the suggested range, in real time. Online, your My Heart results are plotted over time and training zone. View your ideal range within one easy glance. When you plug in the Slimcoach/MyTrak to sync your updates, it also charges the unit (5 to 10 minutes).

The videos I viewed state that you can log your weight on the website, and since it knows how active you were it adjusts your recommended activity level. All you do is keep moving until it turns green. There is not calorie tracking. They have webinars, and personal trainers on their site. Like many other sites there is a forum.

The price is $129 for the unit which comes with a year of the service. The optional heart rate strap is $49, the Aquapac for swimmers is $29, and for an “Advanced Membership” you can spend $69 for “access to advanced charting such as Daily activities, Heart Activity, Heart Rate training, and Online Personal Activity Advisors.” It doesn’t mention if this is for a year (I’m assuming) or a month (I doubt it).

While I like the idea of having an easy to read display, and the ability to have it tie in with a heart rate monitor, for me I’m not sure this is a “Fitbit killer.” The fitbit has a display that you can read (although the Red/Yellow/Green system beats the “flower”), the Fitbit syncs Wirelessly. The fitbit is NOT waterproof (I know this first hand). The Fitbit is less expensive and their website allows you to use it for free (and is only $49 a year for additional stats). The Fitbit also tracks how many steps you go up/down a day. The Fitbit can also be worn on (for example) a Bra strap where the SLimCoach is recommended to wear on your hip for better accuracy. TheFitbit can also be worn and track your sleep. If you are not looking to track your calories, want the ability to track exercise that doesn’t use your hips, and want a super easy to understand display this might be your choice. This may be something you want to investigate.The unit comes in black or white. and is available at Amazon.com

I’ve got an email into the company to see if I can get more information.

I’m doing some research about different “Weight Loss Challenges” and I found Skinnyo.com which I really like. Here’s why.

1. It’s free unless you want a private challenge (which is 10).

2. It’s not completely cluttered with ads.

3. You’re weight isn’t shown, only your change.

4. Everyone puts in their own info (no “Captain” that gets to spend Sunday night hounding people for their weigh in information).

So I’m going to give it a shot. Let’s kick the tires on this bad boy and see how it performs. We can only have 16 people in the competition (you can divide into teams, but we’re going sinlges). So sign up today as it starts on Sunday Januar 29th and runs for 12 weeks. It should be fun. Right now there is no prize, but we may vote to change that.

Sign up today.

Jillian Michaels has said in her book “Master Your Metabolism” that soft drinks are basically poison (I’m paraphrasing).  Yesterday a story surface where a man is using Pepsi for allegedly having a mouse in a can of mountain dew. He said he drank it, immediately through up,and when he poured out the can the mouse fell out. To this I ask, “How did the mouse fit through that tiny hole?” Here is where things get really bizarre, in their defense Pepsi is saying (again in y words) that the mouse would have turned into a jelly like substance.

Acid and an ingredient called brominated vegetable oil or BVO are what likely lead to Mountain Dew’s supposed rodent dissolving powers. BVO is banned in some other areas of the world like Europe and Japan but allowed in limited quantities in sodas like Mountain Dew, Squirt and Fanta Orange.

Mountain Dew is a vice of mine. I treat it like alcohol. If I drink one, I want to drink 12. At my worst, I would drink 6-10 cans  a day. This story will help me “stay on the wagon” (I now drink 1-2 a day, and need to make that number “0″). Watch this video from the Huffing Post for exact quotes.

I’m still reading Get Healthy For Heaven’s Sake by Lisa Marrone. It turns out she has a book titled Overcoming Back and Neck Pain: A Proven Program for Recovery and Prevention and there is some great stuff in this book that shows you how easy it may be to live without pain in your neck and back. A Lot of it has to do with how we stand, sleep, and sit. That’s right. Mom was right when she said “Quit Slouching!”

While reading about how to stand up straight, this clip of Lisa on TV make it a little easier to understand the “blocks” and how they line up.

For me, I never understood why they brough Anna Kournikova on to the biggest loser. While she is/was an athlete, I never saw her as a trainer. However, while watching the show and the support she received from her contestants I thought I might be wrong. It turns how that she may have been hired to tr to fill Jillian Michael’s shoes (who always appeared as “TV’s Toughest Trainer”) but if you listen to Jillian’s podcast, or watched her “Losting It” show you know that Jillian also has a software side that allows her to get inside the heads of her contestants. Apparently not the case with Anna.

Anna Kournikova had a hard childhood growing up in Russia. From what I’ve read, she may not have been so sympathetic to her overweight contestants who were complaining about the trainin beging to hard. One report stated she was a “Nightmare.”

I’m glad they are keeping Dolvett Quince who I feel is a qualified trainer. It will be interesting to see if the squeak in another female as they have almost always had a female be it Jillian, Anna, or going back Kim Lyons who replaced Jillian when she left the first time.

What did you think of Anna? Will you miss her?

I have been using a fitbit for a few months, and I love it. I love that it shows how many hours a day I’m sitting on my butt. I love that I’ve learned more about my sleep. This goes far beyond how much sleep I get to how much quality sleep do I get. Their website is cool with lots of features and graphs. If you’re on a budget and can’t afford a bodybuggsp, this a great alternative with no monthly feel. If you want the extended package, instead of being $10 a month, it’s only $49 a year. Now on top of an already great device there comes new news from the Fitbit camp as they release the new “Fitbit Ultra”:

The Fitbit Ultra includes a bunch of new highly requested features such as a clock, a stopwatch, the ability to personalize the device with your name and fun motivational messages. The Fitbit Ultra comes in both Blue and Plum and you can configure display modes from the web. So, for instance if you don’t want to see calories displayed on the device, you can turn it off. Unfortunately there was no way for us to deliver these features to the Fitbit Classic due to disk space limitations.

Along with a significant upgrade to the device, Fitbit Ultra comes with numerous web features to complete the experience – based on popular demand and available to all Fitbit users. Here’s what’s included:

* A nice facelift to the dashboard – the core activity stats are now aggregated at the top of the dashboard. The design is improved and slicker.

* Lifetime stats are  now available – see your total number of steps taken, distance traveled or calories burned. I am personally at 3.6 million steps so far. wow that’s a big number and I know there are lots of you out there with even more.

* Ability to see lifetime stats, best stats and rank with or without manual activities

* New Daily Step and Lifetime Distance badges – we filled in lots of missing badges and added some harder to get ones.

** quick note on badges – the new daily badges you start earning as of yesterday. New lifetime badges take into account all your tracker history. All badges are based on tracker data only – not manual activities. Badges are granted when you sync your tracker data.

* Daily climb and Lifetime climb badge for Ultra users – the lifetime climb are especially fun.

* Easy Badge sharing with Twitter (Facebook coming soon) – just rollover a badge in your daily activity area.

* A Badge Locker to see all your earned badges – including the ability to see how far away the next badge is.

* The food goal has been added to the dashboard. I know some of you liked seeing calories in vs calories out on the dashboard. The food goal blends these numbers together giving you a simpler view of this. In the future we will be looking at making the dashboard more customizable for what you personally care about.

* And yes – the iphone app is coming very soon. Android is in the works – but coming post iPhone. The iPhone app will be available to all users – not just Ultras.

I Love an Upgrade That Doesn’t Cost More – For New Clients

The best thing about this new is the Fitbit Ultra (The old unit is known as Fitbit Classic” ) doesn’t cost any more than the previous unit. When I get more features for the same price, that’s a great deal – for new customers. They have a great community at their website www.fitbit.com, but they are kind of leaving those who originally purchased the “Fitbit Classic” in the dust. Currently I see no plans for a discount to upgrade. This means if you purchased a Fitbit Classic last month, and you want the Ultra this month you need to fork out another $99.

I am excited about a mobile app. Currently they have a mobile enabled website (not the same in my book). I also wish they would add an accessory option to their website where I could purchased additional docking stations, arm bands (for when you sleep).

If you’re new to the Fitbit, check it out. It’s a great tool to keep you motivated (which you can now customize). Check it out at fitbit.com

This video gives a quick overview (I disagree that adding food was tough, but none the less it shows you how motivating it can be). I love it as it ties int with the Lose it! app (which is where I enter my food, and the fitbit keeps my calories burned accurate)

I was surprised when I went into my email and found an email from my fitbit account. It fave me a summary of my activity, and let me see at a glance how I was doing. You can see that if my goal is to do 10,000 steps a day, I’m averaging about 73% of my goal. It shows my lightest and heaviest weights, and you can see that I am WAY behind on my sleep. This was cute when I was a teenager and got up around the crack of three, but I need to focus on getting to bed sooner.

Another interesting thing is the community feature of fitbit (which I haven’t really looked into). I could friend people on their site and as you see it announces who is the winner of the week (I was excited that I won until I saw where I had no friends). This would be a great way to spur each other on and fuel that competitive spirit The leaderboard also is a way to hold each other accountable.

If you missed my review of the Fitbit (a pedometer on steroids) you can find it here.

I hope to make a quick Youtube video to show off some of the software in the future.

I’ve been a big fan of FitDeck cards since they first came on the scene. Today I got the news that you can now purchased for $4.99 a Fitdeck App. This is the bodyweight workout that (from the comments in iTunes) has the ability to have it provide a “random shuffle” of cards to stop things from being nervous. It also has a timer. If you are traveling, or need a way to workout on the go, it’s like having a personal trainer inside your iPhone, iPad. From what I hear, there is an Android version coming, and all the great additional decks are on their way.

If you’ve been wanting a digital version of FitDeck card, check out the Fitdeck App.

The 17 day diet. I spoke about this before. Don’t you just love the titles of some of these books. Well my step daughter has a copy and I looked through it a little more (as I hear more buzz about it). Here are some of the things I found.

The 17 diet is actually 68 days. It has stages each consisting of 17 days (17X4 = 68)

The first phase has the participant eating 1200 calories (that’s right on the line of dangerous) and exercising 17 minutes. Wait. You mean this magic diet has people eating less, and exercising more? What kind of mind bogling magic formula has been discovered? This is another surprise that people on this diet lose a ton of weight at the beginning – prompting them to tell their friends. This sounds like every other diet fad. Every year there is a new one.

Each 17 day cycle mixes up your food to keep your body guessing. Here is another interesting tip, according to CBS news, the Author admited that most of the weight loss at the beginning is water weight.

You can east less and exercise more without spending money on the book (and now 17 Day Diet Recipes : 101 Delicious Recipes For Dr. Michael Moreno’s 17 Day Diet). Go to our resources section, buckle down, count your calories. You are worth the extra 5 minutes a day it takes to enter how much you’ve eaten. It does make much more sense to do this as you go through the day (so you can pull back the reigns if you get close to your limit). You can exercise more by going for a walk after dinner instead of camping on the couch. Do this for 17 days, and I bet you lose weight.

Bob Harper is a trainer on the Biggest Loser. I really enjoyed his book Are You Ready!: Take Charge, Lose Weight, Get in Shape, and Change Your Life Forever and while it seemed Jillian Michaels was putting her name on everything, Bob was sticking to DVDs. Well apparently Jillian has rubbed off on him.

Bob has now released some suppliments (I would think after Jillian got sued over lending her name to some this would be the last thing he would do). Here is a quick list of what is available:

Bob Harper Smart Weight Loss Capsule, 72-Count List Price: $24.99 Price: $16.50 Read Reviews

Bob Harper AM/PM Weight Loss Starter Kit List Price: $24.99 Price: $6.96 Read Reviews

If you’ve never heard of his DVDs (I’ve used them, and I like them). Here are a few.

Bob Harper: Beginner's Weight Loss List Price: $14.98 Price: $7.36 Read Reviews

This Boot Camp DVD is the one I own and just the warm up gets me going.

The Biggest Loser: The Workout - Boot Camp List Price: $14.98 Price: $5.22 Read Reviews

So what’s the point of showing these DVD’s? To point out that if you are bored with your workout, or you don’t have a gym near you, you can purchase DVDs and have enough to switch up your workout on a regular basis. If you’re on a super tight budget, go to the library and see what’s available. The point is to MOVE.

I’m not sure why I gained week last week. I hit my 10,000 steps a day many days. My calories were close to being on target. My sleep was poor. Hmm.. maybe I do, but don’t want to hold myself accountable.

I think this is the topic for the next logical weight loss podcast this week. We sugar coat things. We think they are not that bad. I’m going to go back and look at my calories (I have been religiously putting them into my fitness pal). I bet I’m worse than I remember. When I looked at my calories (see chart) I was over my goal 52% of the time. Hello?

Jimminy Crickey in Pinocchio had a song about your conscience being your guide. One verse was

Take the straight and narrow path
And if you start to slide
Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!
And always let your conscience be your guide

Notice the path is narrow. The bible says that few people walk the narrow path. These means not everyone is doing it. It means it not easy. It’s simple. Not easy. (eat less exercise more).

We all have a conscience. We know when we buy the Hostess Ho Ho’s all the way to the checkout that these should not be in our cart. Instead of listening to our conscience, we choose what WE want. I want the Ho Ho. I just had an argument with my spouse and felt bad. Did I know this was wrong? Yes. My reason to make it ok? I’ll walk it off tonight.

Tonight came. I walked. But not enough to burn of the Ho Hos.

So earlier in the week my weight was up to 214. The highest its been in a long, long time. I originally didn’t log it here as I didn’t want to see my name at the bottom of the competition list. But I wasn’t hiding anything. Not logging my weight doesn’t make it magically disappear.

My watch started to fit snugly. My pants were strained. I pulled muscles in my back.

I had pushed my weight issues away, and tried to fix my life by self medicating through food. But just like a boomerang, my weight issues came back to the front of my life. I’ve told myself before, if you’re not hungry food is not the answer. We try to hit the snooze button on our weight loss. Thinking it will somehow fix itself. This brings up a great question. Are you ever happy after hitting the snooze button? I’m not. This means I have to hurry in the shower, or skip breakfast, or in general – be rushed. This is not a great way to start the day. You hear the alarm go off, and you’re like, “I know, let’s start the day with some procrastination.”

I ignored the little voice in my head. It typically is right. If I did what it says most of the time, I believe I would be lighter. Instead I do what I want. I pretend my weight problems can be “paused” but they come back.

Last night I set an alarm to GO to bed so I would get at least 7 hours. I turned off the alarm, and went back to my computer “for just another minute” that lasted 60. Today I am so tired, I reached for the mountain dew 290 calories in the wrong way. I didn’t listen to my conscience. I did what I wanted instead.

So today I am telling myself to start listening to my conscience. Look at weight loss as a “one choice at a time” and the other thing I need to do is get some sleep.

Look at Dr. Jeffrey S. Life. He’s a 72 year old doctor who won the “Body for Life” program for his age group and how has written a book about what he is doing to defy the “You lose muscle as you age.” I went to his website, and he seems legit. He seems very open (as he talks about using growth hormones – if tests show you need it – so its somewhat controversial) and has already answered the question “Is that picture photoshopped?” about a million times (its not). He stated in an interview on his website, that you can achieve results without roiding up (OK, I’m paraphrasing).

He has just written a book titled  The Life Plan.This has me very intrigued (and again someone else saying - Dave seriously should check out body for life).

The point is by taking positive steps, and doing the right actions, and eating the right things do not stop working as you get older. The hard cover is $16, and the Kindle is $13. I’ve already sent the “preview” to my Kindle (one of the things I love about the Kindle).

The one thing that makes me hesitant about Dr. Life is his website has him on a “Show” called the Wellness Hour. If you watch to the end you see where “The Wellness Hour” is a paid program (better known as an infomercial – no wonder the host was so impressed and seemed to ask the right questions).

If nothing else, this guy is inspirational, if anyone has read this book please let me know.

I often tie food and money together.  As Dave Ramsey promotes “Spending Plans” (as most people hate Budgets, or as he calls them “the B word”), I talk about how we need to set up “Eating Plans” to determine just how much food we can shove down our face.

If you are an emotional eater, one of the things that might trigger you is stress about money. Well today I am going somewhat outside the lines and I want to talk about a free service from Intuit (the people behind Quicken software). It’s called Mint and it helps you create and monitor your budget, spending plan.

First things first, I checked and they have all sorts of security to ensure your information is safe. Secondly, one of the hassles of tracking your calories is the time it takes to enter all that data. Recently I talked about how some smart phones apps (like myfitnesspal) actually let you scan the bar code on the product and enter it that way (very cool, very quick). Mint has a similar type of system.

If you are like me I rarely use cash – as in ever. Well when you use Mint you provide your information so mint can tie in (again securely) to your bank and pull your transactions into their system. You can then set up rules such as “If the charge is going to Burger King, classify it as Fast Food.” In the end, you rarely need to tweak much of your info. I would say I can login and see what Mint might be confused on (when you buy Milk at the Gas station and it counts it as Gas instead of food). In the end you can set up budgets to tell your money where its supposed to go, and then monitor your spending to make sure your following your own guidelines.

It’s pretty cool. Oh yeah, and its free. There is also an add for iPod, Droid, and Blackberry (so you can make decisions on the go).

Fwa? Yes its free. I know. What’s the catch? Well they do have some sections where they will monitor your spending and say “You are spending slightly more than the national average on (product, i.e. car insurance) you can save money using (company). This is not via email, its on the screen when you login to Mint. In general, if your happy with everything you have you can ignore these. On the other hand, if they can help you save money – why not take advantage.

 I’ve been using them for a few months, and I can say that money is just like food. You can’t manage what you don’t track. With Mint I just use my debit card (you can also enter cash purchases if you are a die hard cash person), and my income and expenses are automatically tracked. By setting up a budget you can set up a plan for success, which will lead to less stress, which will lead to less emotional eating, which will lead to a healthier you.

Exercising while learning might improve kids’ test scores, a new study finds.

As part of the program, students in grades 1 and 2 learned movement skills while basic academic skills were reinforced. For example, they hopped through ladders while naming colors on each rung.

Students in grades 3 to 6 used exercise equipment with TV monitors. For example, a monitor on a treadmill would feature geography lessons while a student “ran” through the scene, the study authors explained.

The researchers compared results from standardized tests taken by the students before and after the program, and found that the percentage of students who reached their goal on the state tests increased from 55 percent to 68.5 percent.

The findings show that carefully designed physical education programs can enhance students’ academic achievement. The results add to growing evidence that exercise is good for the mind as well as the body, said the researchers, from the Medical University of South Carolina Children’s Hospital.

The study was slated for presentation May 1 at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies in Denver. Experts note that research presented at meetings isn’t subjected to the same type of scrutiny given to research published in peer-reviewed journals.

I interviewed Phil and Amy Parham on a previous episode. They have the great 90 day fitness challenge .

Amy and Phil are strong Christians and you will see in this book its not only Amy’s motivational story, but as one reviewer at Amazon.com put it, “The bible verses when applied to emotional eating habits brought wisdom to why I’ve not been able to loose weight. This book will set many free!”

Speaking of Amazon.com here is the description of the book:

Amy Parham, a former fat girl who became a fit girl after losing more than 100 pounds, learned what it takes to stay fit inside and out. In 10 Lessons from a Former Fat Girl, she offers nuggets of insight for changing not only the fat-girl body but also the fat-girl mentality. Focusing on the mental ,emotional, and spiritual aspects of our relationship with food and exercise, Amy shows how readers can make this a healthy partnership that brings permanent change. Amy speaks from experience as she identifies with the reader struggling with a food addiction describes emotional pitfalls that serve as triggers for overeating explores the mental and emotional benefits of regular exercise illustrates how and why fitness must be a lifelong pursuit demonstrates how to transform our minds as well as our bodies. The result is a practical, proven plan that will help any reader reprogram the fat-girl mentality into fit-girl reality.

The best part is the book is less than $10. For more information click here

Start your week off right by focusing on becoming more fit. I just watched this week’s Biggest Loser episode where Tara came back and still looked great, and then beat the olympic athlete in a very physical challenge where you pull a car (he later left the show for personal reasons – of which I think a bruised ego was part of it). Take some time over the next 90 days and make a concerted effort to become more fit.

How are we going to keep things on the “up and up”? By having people take a picture of their scales. I personally will not be painting my toenails for my picture, but you can if you desire.  There isn’t a huge prize here (some teeth whitening products), but the true incentive should be the benefits of weight loss. You will have more energy, more confidence, you will feel better, etc.

I just read an article on Sparkpeople.com by coach Nicole.

You hear all the time that to lose weight, you should track what you eat. Well, a 2008 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine shows that keeping a “food diary” may double your weight loss efforts.

Researchers from Kaiser Permanente’s Center for Health Research kept tabs on 1,685 overweight and obese adults (men and women), whose average weight was 212 pounds. The researchers encouraged participants to adhere to a reduced-calorie, DASH eating plan and asked them record their daily food intake and exercise minutes.

After 20 weeks, the average weight loss was 13 pounds per person. But researchers discovered something else; the more participants recorded what they ate, the more weight they lost in the end. Participants who did not keep a food diary lost about 9 pounds over the course of the study, while those who recorded their food intake six or more days per week lost 18 pounds—twice as much as those who didn’t track any food!

As you might imagine she then goes on to tell about the nutrition tracking and fitness tracking at Sparkpeople.com I’ve spoken about Spark People in the past. I like them because I have access to them at work, on my phone, and basically anywhere I have Internet.

If you consider yourself a “Low Tech” person there are tools for that as well. If you don’t really need something on your phone, but want a computerized tracker, I’m a big fan of Diet Power (and there are other resources as well).

The bottom line is you can’t manage what you don’t track.

Counting calories can be a pain in the butt. It’s true. However, you need to do it. Otherwise you lose track of how much food you’ve jammed down your face. Now to save the days is an iPhone app that counts the calories for you. It’s from the people at Daily Burn. The app is called Meal Snap.

You Snap a shot of your meal on your iPhone.

Add a descriptive caption, if you are so inclined

Let the system auto-magically detect the nutritional breakdown

Keep track of your meals & progress over time

The app is $2.99 and it ties in with the Daily Burn site.

So, how does it work? While the company chalks it up to “magic”, we’re assuming they’ve got a handful of people or a room full of dudes promised free Internet in exchange for calorie counting that are breaking down the meal in your picture item by item. Snap a shot of a chicken salad? They punch in some chicken, some lettuce, maybe some dressing — and bam, they’ve got a rough estimate.

As I don’t have an iPhone, I haven’t tried this. It sounds too good to be true. As I’ve mentioned in the past, typically we don’t eat thousands of calories over our correct calorie intake. It’s typically hundreds over. With this in mind, this may not be the best solution. Let me know if you buy it and try it.

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know I’m a fan of the gym boss (www.getgymboss.com ) I’ve had mine for a while and when I really want to push myself on the treadmill I grab my gym boss. For example I may have an interval of three minutes (where I walk) and then an interval of one minute (where I run). I can have that repeat up to 99 times. Realize you can set this to any timing specifications you want. I love it. The price is 20 bucks

Now they the new Gym Boss MAX. Here are the specs.

•Up to 25 different intervals
•Repeat groups up to 99 times
•Save up to 15 programs
•LCD Backlit screen
•Alarm by beep, vibration or both
•Alarm duration of 1, 2, 5, 9 seconds
•Belt clip
•Water and shock resistant
•1 year warranty

In a nutshell instead of having 2 intervals that flip flop back and forth, you can have 25 different times specifications. So I could do my three minutes off and one minutes on, and then follow it with two minutes on and two minutes off (etc). The Gym Boss Max is $29.99

I’m not sure I need the functionality, but if you’re looking for more flexibility from your interval timer the Gym Boss Max can definitely handle your needs. They also have an arm strap that works on both models.

I was reading about Potable Peddle Exerciser, and I had no idea how sturdy they make these things. Sure you can get the $20 version at Wal-Mart, but you will get what you pay for. A portable peddle exerciser (think portable peddles), can be taken to work, or from room to room. We’ve talked about Fitdeck cards being used during commercials, a Portable Peddle Exerciser could be used while you watch TV (or at work). From the reviews I’ve read on Amazon these things can be whisper quiet. You can also use them for your arms by putting them on a table and peddling with your arms.

Can this really work?

According to a recent study, 18 (mostly female) people had their use of the pedal exerciser monitored using exercise tracking software, which monitored pedal activity and provided real-time feedback on speed, time, distance, and caloric burn. After four weeks, the study participants had used the machines on 12 out of a possible 20 work days, and had pedaled for an average of 23 minutes daily. The average caloric burn was approximately 180 calories per day. And most promisingly, the participants found the machines feasible for work use, and reported a decrease in sedentary time at work thanks to the machine.

If you take the 180 calories per day and multiply that by 20 work days, thats 3600 calories (better known as a little over a pound).

Before You Buy

Here are some things to think about before you go opening your wallet.

1. See if yo ucan try one before you buy it. Exercise equipment stores are your best bet. As I previously mentioned you can find models at discount stores, but you may end up getting what you pay for.

2. Check return policies in the event that the unit doesn’t do what you thought it would do.

3. Check the dimensions to make sure it fits under your desk (if you plan on using it under a desk).

4. More features can be beneficial. A basic “peddles only” unit won’t cost much. However, those that track you distance have been proven to be used more. There are also units that use magnets to increase the resistance. The study mentioned above used the Magnetrainer which goes for a little over $120. If you want to completely geek out (and you know I love to geek out), you can add a unit that connects your Magnetrainer to your computer and plug it into software to track all your progress.

I was reading a story about McDonald’s new Oatmeal with fruit. I have not tried it, and probably won’t know that I know. As its price tag is more than McDonald’s own double-cheeseburger and ten times as expensive as real oatmeal, the $2.38 per serving new is being pushed on us as a healthy alternative.

“Incredibly, the McDonald’s product contains more sugar than a Snickers bar and only 10 fewer calories than a McDonald’s cheeseburger or Egg McMuffin,” New York Times food writer and author Mark Bittman says. “(Even without the brown sugar it has more calories than a McDonald’s hamburger.)”

It’s amazing how good things look on television (when was the last time you saw anything STEAM at McDonald’s – unless it was coffee you were going to dump in your crotch). There are so many things that manufacturers do to trick us into thinking things are healthy when they are not. Get in the habit of checking labels, and in the case of McDonald’s and all the other fast food chains, and other Retaurants, be sure to go online and check out their nutrition before you go to eat there. If you find out that there is no nutritional information on their site (yeah I’m talking to you Olive Garden) it’s probably not a good thing.

I actually have been eating Quaker Instant Oatmeal (brown sugar and cinamon) at work. I got a big box and it comes down to about 30 cents a serving, and it cooks in 90 seconds. I realize that this is still not the healthiest choice (real oatmeal is better), this is still better than the chips and M&Ms that I was eating at work. I brought a microwave bowl from home, I make it at my job’s cafeteria, and clean the bowl in the bathroom.

If you’ve been listening to the Podcast, you know this year I have not been “on track.” I’ve set goals, etc, but I’m just not focused. I was at Spark People and I saw where they are starting a “5K Your Way” program.  Now you may be thinking, “I’m not a runner,” and thats fine. You don’t have to be.

The other thing you are probably asking is “How long is a 5K?” The answer is 3.1 miles. If you are thinking, I’ll never run 3 miles! You don’t have to. You can just walk. You can walk/jog. You can jog. You can run. It’s 5K your way.

Obviously if you’ve been on the couch for the last few months, you don’t want to try to get up and run 3 miles tomorrow. You might shoot for the walking program. Once that is finished, you can move to the walk/jog, etc.

As I walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes a few times a week, I’m going to do the 8-week rookie running program which will slowly build up my running skills. I’m going to use the printable schedules that they have to keep on track (as well as online). For example mine says on day one to walk for 4 minutes, and then jog for 1 minute. I repeat that 3 more times for a total of a 20 minute workout. Instead of watching you watch, a great tool that I will be using is the Gym Boss (www.getgymboss.com) Where you can set up our intervals however you want for as long as you want and it will beep or vibrant when its time to switch from one to the other.

You can sign up at Spark people and you will see where they have schedules to print out and tons of additional running/walking articles to read. Here in Cleveland the snow has finally melted. Spring is on the way. It’s time to get off the couch.  Check it out

I’ve heard Jillian Michaels rave about Pop Chips for a while. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw them for sale in the cafeteria where I work. I picked up a bag and just as promised there are no preservatives, artificial flavors, cholesterol, saturated fat, trans fat, and no gluten ingredients.  Best of all the bag was only 100 calories (about 17 chips).

The interesting thing about Pop Chips  is that I could read all of the ingrediants on the back of the bag. There were none of those names that sound like they belong in laboratory than your food.

The final test is the taste. Yummy. Almost too good to be true (as I want to go buy another bag, but that would kind of defeat the purpose). I have yet to see these in a grocery store in my area, but the good news is you can purchase Pop Chips from Amazon.com These are so tasty I may actually order some groceries off the Internet (seems weird to me, but if you can’t find them). They are quite yummy.

Katy Perry has boobs. I know. Your shocked. It’s also interesting that until she started showing them to everyone (including Elmo) she didn’t get much attention as a singer. This post is not really about Katy Perry, but more about the media (she just happen to be the latest person who has been tweaked in her photos).

Katy made some statements in a recent article that she had big boobs when she was younger and resented them and tried to hide them. We all come in shapes and sizes, and we need to appreciate that it would be boring if we all looked the same. Katy also said she weighs 130 lbs, and was fine with that. I applaud that she isn’t a stick.

Then I saw this photo, and I just want to make sure everyone who says “I want to look like the person on TV” knows that even the person on TV doesn’t look like the person on TV. They use software called Photoshop to tweak the image. In this image you watch Katy get a bit more color, her boobs get a lift, her fingers grow (creepy!), and her legs get more curves, and a wrinkle is removed from her underwear as well.

If you haven’t seen my post on the Photshop Effect, please check it out.

Here is her music if you’re interested…

If you were watching the Biggest Loser this week, you saw a few of the contestants hanging on some bright yellow straps. While we understand the giants ropes that that whip around, the weights that they pull behind them, the boxing moves that they have been learning this season. What is the yellow strap thing?

It’s a TRX Suspension Training system. It is the top of the line “Gym in a bag” system (voted “Best Total Body Tool” by Mens Health Magazine). There are numerous ways to connect this in your house, apartment, or if you are traveling on the road, your hotel room. Most people just use a door anchor. It’s long enough to let you still be in the middle of the room to perform the exercises. You can safely perform hundreds of exercises that build power, strength, flexibility, balance, mobility, and prevent injuries, all at the intensity you choose

Suspension Training Systems are great as they allow you to build your own circuit training to meet your needs. You can easily swap from one exercise to another. The TRX system is top of the list in terms of expense ($200 with the door anchor). If you are looking for a TRX alternative, you might check out Freestyle Trainer Pro ($70 – seen right) from ringtraining.com (you have to go to the shop area to find it).

We read over and over that a healthier way to cook is to substitue Olive oil instead of butter in your pan (Olive oil contains monounsaturated fat, a healthier type of fat that can lower your risk of heart disease by reducing the total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or “bad”) cholesterol levels in your blood). You can make your own salad dressings etc. The bad news is Oilive Oil can be kind of Pricy (about 10 bucks a bottle, if not more).

Someone just purchased the Misto M100S Gourmet Brushed Aluminum Olive Oil Sprayer. This is a cool Aluminum sprayer. You pull of the cap, fill up the canister about hald way, and then put the cap back on and pump the unit a few times. You can then spray your olive oil for about 10 seconds. You use less Olive Oil as you are not dumping it directly. Its super easy to clean and reuse. Best of all it’s only $8.88 There is a demonstration video on the Amazon page. If you’re in a “eat this not that” mood and looking for a way to work in some Olive Oil, check out the Misto M100S Gourmet Brushed Aluminum Olive Oil Sprayer

One of the ways you can cut calories is to pack a lunch for work. However, many of the healthy foods need referigeration. We all know that if you stick your lunch in the company refrigerator that there is a small chance it will be there when we go to eat it (and that is just soooo wrong). So how do we pack a lunch that can fit in our bottom drawer and keep things cool? Enter the Fit & Fresh company.

This company provides some great tools to seal in freshness and each container has a freezer pack that snaps into place to keep it cool. Want a salad at work? Use their bowl that keeps up to two tablespoons of dressing in the lid. They even have a Fit & Fresh Portion prep center. It includes a textured, non-skid cutting board, compact food scale and 2-cup measuring section to maintain proper food portions. The measuring cup and scale snap in the bottom of the cutting board for easy storage.
