Loseit.com website and iPhone app Loseit.com website and iPhone app
Despite what many "experts" would lead you to believe, weight loss boils down to simple math: calories in vs. calories out. To shed pounds, you have to end each day with a calorie deficit. It sounds easy enough, but studies show that 63 percent of Americans grossly underestimate their daily calorie intake. In fact, the average American consumes a staggering 2,700 calories a day — for many Americans, that's enough calories to gain up to 8 pounds every month! With Lose it! you will learn the five pillars strategy: 1. Embrace mindful empowerment. (Take control of your body and the foods that you put in it.) 2. Track your calories. (There are no points or complicated algorithms to follow. But every snack, taste, and bite counts!) 3. Track your habits. (Spot behavior patterns that you can modify to help you meet your goals.) 4. Track your exercise. (Learn how to burn more calories in less time and boost your calorie burn.) 5. Benefit from peer support. (You can do this with friends which keeps you inspired, accountable, and provides insight and advice.) Go to loseit.com to get started.

Foam Roller The Foam Roller
Foam rollers offer many of the same benefits as a sports massage, without the big price tag. The foam roller not only stretches muscles and tendons but it also breaks down soft tissue adhesions and scar tissue. By using your own body weight and a cylindrical foam roller you can perform a self-massage and break up trigger points. Using a foam roller is simple, but working some areas may take a bit of practice. Position your body with the area you want to work on top of the foam roller. Your body weight creates the pressure that massages and releases tight spots. You control the pressure by applying more or less body weight on the foam roller and using your hands and feet to offset your weight as needed. It's helpful to try a variety of positions and see what works best for you.
