You know I really admire my mother and father. At the age of 50 they realized they were overweight. They weren't FAT by any means, but sometimes there is more to being healthy then being just ok. Anyway this was when they decided to start running. They did what is called interval training. They would run for 1 minute, then walk for 1, then run for 1, and walk for 1 again. They did this 10 times to make up 10 minutes of good physical activity. After they got used to running for that length of time they did 2 minutes of running and then 1 minute of walking. Now they run 10km races. Last year mom placed 3rd place in Atlantic Canada and dad broke 40 minutes (which is ridiculous).

Anyway I thought this was a great way of training and it certainly helped my parents. They are in better shape than ever. Certainly better than their 22 year old son sitting in front of his computer… I guess it’s time for a walk ha ha.

My Aunt actually recently lost a lot of weight a strange way, she tried hypnosis. If you want to give this a shot (she doesn't work as hard as my folks and you might be in the same boat I guess) you can check out these hypnosis weight loss tips.

There are sooooo many other places on the internet that have more weight loss tips so I thought I would sort through and give everyone a few recomendation. Weight loss go is a great site about losing weight primarily throughexercise, so if that's your cup if tea then check out that site. If you're moreof a "meantalist" then check out the site lose weight healthy where you shoulf be able to find a weath of knowledge about losing weight by positive thinking.
