Many people are doing the wrong type of aerobic exercises to meet their goals.
I think it’s very interesting to note, that what is commonly thought of as the truth about any subject, is usually outdated and quite often totally false. I can only speak about my field of health, fitness and longevity for sure, but I suspect it is also true in other areas as well. The myths of cholesterol, calcium, sunlight and aerobic exercise are all good examples.

Myth on calories in vs. calories out. Does it really equal weight loss?
I would like to talk on a myth I hear often and that is the myth of Calories In vs Calories Out = Weight Loss.

We are made up of far more than just calories.
When you have healthy indifference, you never feel deprived. Take this Healthy Indiffernce Test.
Whether you are trying to start, stop or continue a habit of any kind, success lies in developing a healthy indifference toward the matter. Indifference may not sound like a positive state.

Creating healthy indifference is one of the fundamental lessons I teach in our Colorado Wellness Retreats. Guests leave the retreats with the ability to make a decision and stick to it.
You know what's unsexy? Ads that make women feel bad about their bodies.
Hooray! Winter is officially over, and spring has arrived. Which means cherry blossoms, the smell of lilacs, the return of the sun…and a torrential downpour of body-shaming ads that would like you to think that you have been a fat lump all winter, and that you are unfit for a swimsuit. Welcome to the beginning of "bikini season."
Steve came to see me when the physical discomfort of carrying around extra weight was worse than the pleasure of overeating all of his favorite high-fat, high-calorie foods. My promise of no dieting or deprivation was especially appealing to him because he had never had to deal with losing weight earlier in life and was at a loss on managing it alone. He was in a busy, high-stress career and had never taken the time to shop for food or cook.
This is for you if you want to lose weight, but need motivation and inspiration to get started.
