Flipping through my local newspaper last Saturday, I came across the above title minus the question mark. (Bonus points for anyone who can name my local paper in the comments section. Here’s a HINT)

I’m definitely uneasy about using descriptive words like “the best” or “#1″ when talking about any health related matter, especially exercise movements for fat loss, because we should all know by now that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to losing fat and staying fit.

[Now if these girls told me this exercise was #1, I just might have to listen!]

Think about it: If we all lose fat or build muscle the same way, then there would only be a need for one book or

Everyone can do it, but so few people know how to do it well. Breathing is something we just do!

It’s not something talked about in great lengths in main stream media or print but if you’re into activities like Yoga or meditation (which I’m starting to take a liking too) then you can appreciate the many benefits of breathing better and taking note of your improved physical and mental well-being.

[Found this pic along with a bunch of other cool underwater shots at H2o Photography . I always wondered what it would be like to breathe underwater and the possibilities of possessing this super power. I'm such a

More Rest For More Strength

For example, when I’m training with Vince DelMonte’s

I see more flat stomach and six-pack ab infomercials everyday that revolve around the classic crunch move.

We all know this move: lie on the floor on your back, grab the back of your head with your hands and pull it two inches off the floor. I think it’s safe to say this method does not work very well for building your 6-pack abs and flattening out your stomach.

[There's nothing intense about this exercise. Look at this poor girl's facial expression! Not another time wasting crunch, please...]

Aside from them being useless for getting six pack abs, the crunch movement itself is actually harmful to your spine and lower back. Every single time you perform a crunch, you are doing what the world’s leading experts

Would you be upset with yourself for eating a slice of birthday cake at a party?

Are you uncomfortable eating food someone else has prepared because you aren’t in control of the ingredients?

Do you beat yourself up or become depressed after a day of unhealthy eating choices?

According to Brad Pilon, nutrition expert and author, these could be signs of “Obsessive Compulsive Eating Habits” a term he has coined for going to extremes in the pursuit of a diet that’s supposed to be good for you.

In his book, Eat Stop Eat: The Radical New Approach to Nutrition That Can Burn Fat, Improve

Yes, the economy is in the toilet, but that’s not an excuse to lie down on your couch with your favorite cheap comfort food and justify your actions as trying to save some money.

Burning calories doesn’t require large amounts of cash.

Here are some frugal fat loss tips that’ll keep you striving for your fitness goals:

Don’t spend your cash on gas, parking, or car insurance.

Try walking, cycling or running to your destination. The only equipment required for walking and running is a comfortable pair of shoes.

Or pump up the tires on mountain bike sitting in your garage, grab a helmet, and some reflective clothing, and bike to work a couple of times a week.

If your commute to work is too far for this kind for these primitive
