NO EXCUSES: The Ultimate Fitness Workout Playlist

When it comes to fitness (as a routine), "Dr. Costas Karageorghis, deputy head (research) of the School of Sport and Education at Brunel University, has worked with the popular digital music service Spotify to compile the Ultimate Fitness Workout Playlist, drawing upon his long-running research programme into the psychological effects of music."

Bottom Line: There's no excuse to get up, gear up, and stay hot and haute.  Think about it:  When Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (4-time, 2014 Grammy Award Winners) are in the mix, how can the ceiling hold us?

LOSE WEIGHT: 10 Ways To Shave Pounds Off ... Now!

If you are tired of that blubber ruining your self-esteem and wardrobe choices, check out these simple ways to burn fat today.

1)  Never exercise on an empty stomach. Eat a piece of celery, which you will incinerate before your warm-up ends.  Afterwards, stay in sculpting mode with a protein shake or omelet.
2)  Never overeat on weekends, at parties, during holidays, and parties.  Balance special occasion foods with tried-and-true whole foods.
3)  Never skip breakfast.  Your metabolism will thank you and so will your brain's ability to achieve your goals.
4)  Never rely on diet sodas as your primary source of hydration.  Filtered water is the best choice for quenching your thirst.
5)  Never do the same exercise day after day.  Variety is the spice of muscle confusion and hotness.
6)  Never bring food into your home that will haunt you.  If the sight of cookies make you binge, then leave then on the other side of the door.
7)  Never become hungry throughout the day.  Schedule 4 to 5 small meals (protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables) to satiate your thunderous grehlin.
8)  Never watch television without melting some calories.  Go high-tech with fitness video games or YouTube.  Opt for low-tech on your yoga mat, and get your abs crunching.
9)  Never prolong total weight loss with just strength training or stretching.  Amp your goals with heart-pounding cardio.
10)  Never neglect Aunt Sandra.  Do walk and talk to your loved one.  The oxytocin and endorphin cocktail will make your day.
 
Bottom Line
Even if you try some of these simple tips, you will lose weight.  It's up to you if you desire to keep it off.
