The Free Fitness Tips Newsletter -
May 2008 is sponsored by:
*****
Hello everyone and welcome to the
May 2008 edition of the Free Fitness Tips Newsletter.
This is quite a strange newsletter. Last time when I wrote the
April newsletter I had lots to report and provided a thorough
newsletter. However, as regular readers of my blog will know,
the last few weeks have been quite busy for me going straight from
exams to full time employment. As a result I have found it
difficult to keep this blog as up to date as I would like which you
will probably have noticed from the reduced amount of posting.
So how am I going to get around this little problem? Well I
have decided that what I need to do is write as much as I possibly
can at the weekends and then all I have to do is post on the week
days. As you read this newsletter you should be glad to know
that I will be working on a further series of articles on
diabetes which (fingers crossed) will be ready by Monday.
Regular readers of this newsletter
will also have noticed that I this newsletter usually comes out at
the start of the month. I have decided from now on I will be
releasing my newsletters at the end of the month because it is after
all meant to be a summary of the month's Free Fitness Tips
updates.
Anyway with that out of the way - on
with the newsletter. This month's newsletter contains:
1)
Featured Article
As I said at
the start of this newsletter I really did not have time to post to
the blog that much. However, of what I did post my favourite
was '5 Hilarious Excuses for Not Exercising'. Let me know if
you agree...
5
Hilarious Excuses for Not Exercising
Today I was thinking about the excuses
some people use to avoid exercise. There are literally so many that
I could probably use what I have heard to start a new ‘Exercise
Excuses Blog’. A lot of the excuses people use are pretty standard
e.g. “I am too tired to exercise” or “I am too busy to workout” but
some of the excuses are much more unique. Since everyone enjoys a
giggle I have for you today five of the most ridiculous exercise
excuses I have ever heard.
1) I AM ALREADY THIN SO IF
I EXERCISE I WILL WASTE AWAY:- Yes just like alien
abduction there are also some people who claim that they have wasted
away as a result of exercising. Quite how they managed to make these
claims after wasting away is beyond me but apparently they have.
2) I DO NOT NEED TO
EXERCISE BECAUSE MY FAVOURITE TV SHOW IS CELEBRITY FIT CLUB:-
Just seeing all those celebrities exercising is enough to make
anyone break into a sweat. If you combine this with lifting up the
remote and making regular trips to the kitchen and bathroom during
the commercial break you have the ultimate workout plan.
3) I ALREADY GET MY DAILY
EXERCISE BY WALKING TO THE DONUT SHOP:- Yes, ladies
and gentleman new research has suggested that you will burn away
those 1000+ calories contained in a pack of donuts in 10 simple
minutes just by walking to your donut shop. Plus, the more sugar you
get on the donuts the more calories you can burn.
4) I EXERCISE IN THE
OFFICE BY SWIVELLING ON MY COMPUTER CHAIR, TYPING AND CLICKING MY
MOUSE:- If this is you then there is no need to
exercise at all. This highly intense office workout must be burning
at least 5 additional calories per day. Combine it with the workout
discussed in point number two and you are on your way to becoming a
perfect fitness specimen.
5) I CANNOT EXERCISE
BECAUSE THE NIKE AIR TRAINERS I NEED COST £150:- Very
good point. I have difficulty walking without having a pair of
expensive trainers strapped to my feet. It is far, far too risky to
attempt any physical activity until you can afford the adequate
gear.
If you have not gathered already this
article has been sprinkled with a heavy dose of humour and sarcasm.
You can read even more funny exercise excuses by

However, there is a serious point
behind this article. If you want to become fitter and healthier or
lose weight, you will need to ditch the excuses and start
exercising. Diet is one half of the equation but exercise is
essential too. Do whatever it takes to avoid the excuses and start
exercising whether that be making a dedicated exercise plan, finding
a workout partner or even budgeting for a gym membership.
2)
Free Fitness Tips Blog Updates
There's not too many content updates
for this month because as I said at the start of the newsletter I
have been rather busy. However, I still did have time to get
some posts in. Here is what's new since the last newsletter:
Fitness Funnies:- My
plan with these articles was to post a humorous article every
Friday. Since I have been busy I did not manage to stick to
this plan but I have added a few including the featured article for
this month '5 Hilarious Excuses for Not Exercising'. You can
read all these
funny fitness articles at;
http://blog.freefitnesstips.co.uk/category/fitness-funnies
My Workout:-
One of the biggest updates to the blog that I managed to complete
this month was a page fully detailing my workout routine. This
page took a LOT of work but I think the end result was worth it.
It contains full details of my workout routine including the number
of sets I do, the number of reps I perform and the amount of weight
I currently lift. It also contains full instructions and an
instructional video on how to perform each exercise. When I
finished this page I was pretty impressed with the results.
You can view
my workout routine at;

Weight Loss:- I've added
a number of articles to the weight loss section including; 'The
Truth behind Weight Loss with HCG', 'Can Meat help you Lose Weight?'
and '5 Simple Steps for Identifying a Good Weight Loss Product'.
You can read all the
weight loss articles at;
http://blog.freefitnesstips.co.uk/category/weight-loss
Wellness Junction Articles:-
As regular readers of the blog will know, Kavit Haria of
Wellness
Junction asked me if I would like to start writing guest
blog posts for him. My first two articles are currently live
on his website and cover the topic of boosting metabolism.
More will follow. You can read all these
Wellness Junction articles at;

I hope you like all the new content
this month and remember...let me know what you think of the new
theme.

Featured Fitness Blog
I am always on the search for fitness
blogs which I think will be useful to my readers and I showcase what
I believe to be the best ones on the 'My
Favourite Fitness Blogs' page. Each month I give one fitness blog
that I feel deserves a special showcase a further mention here. This month's
featured blog is...
Wellness Junction
This month's featured blog is 'Wellness
Junction'. Not only is this an excellent fitness blog but it also
contains exclusive guest blog posts from me :-).
Wellness
Junction also contains guest blogging spots from a number of
other health and fitness bloggers as well as informative posts from
Kavit himself. If you want to check out
Wellness
Junction then head over to

4) Free Fitness Tips Squidoo
Updates
Since I have been busy this month the
Free Fitness Tips squidoo lens has taken a back seat to the blog
and I have not really updated it at all. Once I manage to get
organised with my blog postings then I will try to get the lens
updated. However, there is still a lot of good information
there so if you want to check it out, rate it, or leave me a comment
then please head over to
http://www.squidoo.com/freefitnesstips
5) Final Words
This month has been quite an
adjustment for me. Going from being a student, to studying for
and taking exams, to full time employment in a relatively short
period. I have managed to keep up with my exercising but this
blog has suffered. This coming month I want that to change.
As you read this I will be working away on next month's blog content
and hopefully I should get it all ready for on time.
Thanks for reading,

Fitness Tips)
