Now that I am over 40, keeping young is a primary focus for me. More and more studies are coming out to show the effects of exercise on aging. This is certainly great to keep me motivated with each and every workout session.

Tim D. Spector, a professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College in London, led a study on the effects of exercise on aging. The results were astounding. They found that exercise appears to slow the aging process. “The data suggests that the act of exercising may actually protect the body against the aging process,” said Spector.

At the start of a new fitness program, you clean up your diet and hit the workouts, and the weight seems to fall off.

You might be tempted to drastically reduce calories or increase the amount of time you spend working out. Don’t do it. Instead, here are some simple tricks to help you lose those last 10 pounds.

Debblie Siebers is one of my favorite trainers when it comes to fitness advice.

No, I’m not getting surgery. But I am trying a new program featuring Brazilian trainer, Leandro Carvalho. Apparently, he helps get supermodels butt’s in shape, so why not mine.

The goal is lifted, tighter and smaller.
