I really enjoy watching The Biggest Loser. It’s such an inspiring and motivating show and I think Bob and Jillian are amazing. Not only do they help people find answers to their emotional issues, their training tips are always so simple too and easy to incorporate into our daily lives. Last month I featured Fitness Tips from Jillian and this month I’m happy to share with you Bob’s Fitness Tips. Hopefully you’ll find these as helpful as I did and be sure to take a look at the exclusive workout by Bob as well.
Fitness Tips by Bob Harper
1. Practice the sun salutation. This isn’t just for yogis—it’s a total-body move that strengthens every inch of you. Do them fast to raise your heart rate.
2. Work in intervals. For the fastest and best results, add bursts of springs into a slow run. Try this on your next jog: after a five-minute warm-up, dial up your speed to n effort of about eight or nine (out of 10) for 30 seconds; then slow down to an effort of three and recover for up to three minutes. Your goal: Work up to seven sprints in a half-hour run.
3. Fill up on fewer calories. I like these wheat-germ crackers called Bran Crispbread. Each has 12 calories, no fat, and five grams of fiber. Add a bit of hummus and you can have a plateful.
4. Get some shut-eye. People who get enough sleep make better choices and have more successful weight loss. Recovery time is essential, so make it a priority.
You can find Bob’s tips in this month’s issue (Jan/Feb) of Women’s Health Magazine.

This really reminds me that I need to jump back on the weight loss wagon. I have 30 more lbs to lose.
