 Are
you a feaster, constant craver or an emotional eater?
Are your eating habits interfering in achieving your
fitness goals? Scientists believe that inability to lose
weight isn't just down to a lack of willpower. It is due
to a person's individual make-up - the genes, hormones
and psychology. The latest weight-loss theory is that
instead of reaching for a one-size-fits-all diet, you
should follow one that is tailored to your individual
need. To learn more check out this week's article, The
Three Types of Overeaters: Identify & Take Action.

Archer’s plank is an exercise that works your
abs, back, arms, chest, and shoulders. To
perform, get into a raised push-up position with
feet more than shoulder-width apart (pull belly
button to spine, and keep hips level). Bending
elbow, lift right arm off floor straight up
toward ceiling, rotating torso right as you do
so (like drawing an archer’s bow). Lower hand to
start, and repeat on opposite side. Do 12 to 15
reps on each side.

Words of Inspiration
 Light
at the End of the Tunnel.
There is always a lesson to be learned from adversity.
There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. The
light that leads one out of the darkness is the positive
energy that comes to surround those who continually
search for what life has to offer.
The answer is always within. By harnessing this positive
energy you can accomplish anything. Nothing can hold you
back from “going for it.” Do not let anyone or anything
stop you from making your dreams a reality. Keep on
moving ahead like an unstoppable force. Become
headstrong and trust your intuition.
