		<description><![CDATA[Spending time reading glossy gossip magazines with thin celebrities can often mean that we have unrealistic targets and goals in terms of our own weight and size. For a start, most of the women and men in these magazines have been airbrushed, meaning that their body size is unachievable and totally unrealistic for the average person.

When it comes to setting your own goals the best place to start is by looking at the BMI (Body Mass Index) chart. Although this is not 100% foolproof (most rugby players would come up as obese) it's a great indicator to whether you are in the healthy weight range for your height.

Most exercise regimes would advise you to set a target for within the 'healthy' weight range, which is between 20 and 25 on the BMI scale. Losing weight is not rocket science and reducing your fat and calorie intake whilst increasing levels of exercise will result in weight loss and a healthier lifestyle.

Intense diets that severely restrict your intake of any of the food groups can leave you hungry and lacking in the drive necessary to reach targets. With most you will find you lose weight quickly to begin with and then it will plateau, meaning you are not losing weight efficiently. It is recommended that you lose 2 pounds per week; this is a safe and healthy amount to lose and means you will keep it off better too!

So why go to the gym?

Motivation is the magic word when it comes to continuing toward reaching the weight loss goal that you desire. Unfortunately, when we weigh at home (in the morning, naked, before breakfast of course!) we can skew the measurements, over weigh and become un-motivated, especially if we don't see the results we desire.

To increase motivation, you can firstly set a routine that you are comfortable with, designed for you by a personal trainer, then to help stop boredom (which can happen) you can change your routine at the gym as your goals change and develop.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, tone up, get fit, or remain healthy you have to keep things fresh and exciting. Jumping on the exercise bike again can seem like a chore, so join a spinning class instead. Running on the treadmill can be tedious and most gyms have running groups to join. You can mix up your fitness programme to suit your mood; don't get stuck in a routine rut!

Joining a health club and gym means that you can get professional advice to shape your targets into realistic outcomes. It also means you have the support system there to help you when you simply can't be bothered! In addition, there is a real community feel to be found in many gyms, as everyone has the same goal in the end - to be healthy! Get a hat-trick by losing weight and looking great too.

		<description><![CDATA[What Is The Best Home Gym For Seniors?

You want to stay healthy, and fit, but most of us as we age have downsized, scaled back, and don't have the room to accommodate a room full of home gym equipment. It really is crazy how much room a single piece of exercise equipment can take up in your house, and the apparatuses are really not that attractive. Who wants to walk into their living room and be greeted by a big ugly treadmill, or body building machine? Not too many people. Most people want to hide their gym stuff out of public eye dragging it out only when it's necessary.

Senior Fitness

Senior fitness is a very important part of staying healthy and vital in today's youth based society. Aging may not be optional, but there are some ways that you can slow down how fast your muscles are shrinking, and losing their strength. Many new studies have discovered that our physical decline associated with aging could have more to do with our inactivity as we age than the actual aging process itself. In addition, maintaining a regular exercise program can actually setback and reduce the effects of aging.

There are many forms of exercise that should be performed by both the young and the old and the main 3 are Cardio, Stretching, Flexibility &#38; Balance, and Strength Training. You should pick at least one activity from each category and perform it 3-5 times a week for 20-40 minutes.

Exercises For Seniors

o Cardio exercise can include: Cycling, Walking, Swimming, Water Aerobics, Jogging

o Strength Training can include the use of: resistance bands (Flex Bands, Resistance Tube Bands); Dumbbells, Weights, Nautilus Machines And Or Using Your Own Body Weight for Resistance Training (Push-Ups- Pull-Ups).

o Stretching, Flexibility &#38; Balance: Resistance bands (flex bands, resistance tube bands), Yoga, Pilates, basic stretching exercises, Tai Chi, Tai Chi Ball&#38; Balance: Resistance bands (flex bands, resistance tube bands), Yoga, Pilates, basic stretching exercises, Tai Chi, Tai Chi Ball

Home Gym Exercise Equipment 

The best home gym equipment for senior fitness is hands down resistance bands. Resistance bands can be used by any fitness level, and take up a small drawer or basket in any room of your house, or apartment. They are small enough to fit in a suitcase when traveling, so there is never an excuse to not take your home gym on the road with you when you visit the kids. There a multitude of Resistance Band DVD's For Seniors, and Resistance Band Exercise Guide Books for sale that can guide you through simple, but effective exercises to keep you toned, fit, flexible, and your balance strong. Aging may not be completely optional, but with resistance bands the simple and effective home gym equipment you can remain active and young, and watch your friends get "old" as their enormous and unused personal home gym equipment gathers dust, and discarded clothing.

Give these small but mighty pieces of flexible rubber a try, and you'll be wondering why anyone needs all the bulky stuff taking up room in their home in the first place.
