Last year, in the first 6 issues of 1966 Magazine we included a feature entitled Get For Summer: 6 Month Countdown. For 6 months we sweat, toned and defined in order to slide into those bikinis by June. We received such great feedback from the series that we have to decided to bring the fitness bug to the blog!

One common issue that many women face is having to workout even when traveling for work or leisure. Don’t let this tiny fitness roadblock keep you from getting into the best shape of your life. Thanks to advances in technology you can get a great workout all with the aid of an app.

If you own a smart phone you are going to want to download Nike Training Club which boasts a plethora of workouts designed to give you an amazing workout using limited equipment found in any hotel gym, concluding in just a half hour to 45 minutes. In less than an hour you’ll be done and can get on with your day! Nevertheless, what we love is unlike some apps that require WIFI in order to operate this app does not require it as long as you have already downloaded. A win-win especially in hotels that may not offer free Internet or if your own device’s personal signal is weak. So then, leave all excuses behind and get that body you have been dreaming of for 2015!

Detox the Body With Physical Exercise

Staying fit during winter can pose as a challenge due to harsh temperatures that may keep you shut up inside. However, maintaining a good exercise routine despite any of life’s many obstacles will help keep you healthy from the inside out. What are the many benefits of physical activity?

Physical activity supports the removal of waste, oxygenates cells and stimulates the lymphatic system. This stimulation is vital since unlike our cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system requires activity or movement to function properly. The lymphatic system uses our largest organ, our skin to release toxins. Therefore, when we exercise and work up a sweat we are thus releasing and removing toxins from our body. There are many methods to detox our bodies, but the good old natural way is always best.

Of course not all fats are created equal, you will need to consume healthy fats in order to derive the most benefits. Why should healthy fats be included in your diet? The body is made of numerous cells which in turn are made up of a membrane of fat.

Fat helps to lubricate joints, promote proper cell function, metabolize fat-soluble vitamins and is the key to having gorgeous healthy skin as well as hair. Some examples of good fat foods would be: seeds, raw nuts, salmon and avocados. It is also possible to cook with healthy oils such as flax, coconut and olive oil.

Fitness Tip: Dine Out Like a Pro

Dining out with friends and family is a fun and exciting experience if you’re not worried about your waistline. When you are trying to maintain your fit body or working towards shaping one the last thing you want to do is derail yourself after all your hard work. Therefore, how can you dine out without all the guilt?

When browsing the menu avoid items that have been battered, fried or made with tons of butter. Instead opt for food choices that have been prepared by being steamed, grilled or boiled. Moreover, many dishes come doused in dressings or sauces that can pack hidden calories. Ask your server to bring any sauces or dressings on the side so that you are in the driver’s seat with how much of the liquidity goodness is actually included on your meal of choice.
