Today I decided to hit the sauna after my workout. When I got in there I found a copy of what I think was US Magazine lying on the bench. Now normally I don’t pick up things that have been in the sauna, but there was an article about Katie Holmes that appealed to me. As I was reading the article it hit me- I had found my celebrity of the month for the month of August.
Since having her baby, Katie has done a great job of getting rid of the baby fat and getting back her great physique. However, that’s no surprise since she is known to come from a very athletic family. Her father is a fitness enthusiasist and has always encoruaged his family to stay active. It’s a tradition at the Holmes family to go out running together every thanksgiving. Katie enlisted the help of Sue Fleming, creator of Buff Brides, to get into great shape for her wedding. She would train 4-5 times a week and her workouts would be centered around compound movement exercises that targetted several muscle groups at once. Clearly, the work paid off as the results are evident.
If you want a body like Katie’s you have go put in the same effort. Keep your workouts intense and do a lot of bodyweight and compound movement exercises: pushups, lunges, squats, etc. This type of workout forces your body to burn a lot of calories and tone up the muscles.
Weight management is based on the correlation between calories consumed versus calories burned. As we all know, keeping track of both can be a hassle. That’s why the folks over at Apex Fitness Group created the Bodybugg. It is a gagdet that you strap on your arm which measures how many calories you burn. At the end of the day you connect the gadget to your pc, which then uploads your information to the BodyBugg’s website where you can keep track of the progress that you’ve made and get tips on losing more weight. At least, that’s the jist of it. According to an article in USA Today, the Bodybugg measures how much heat the body is producing and losing, to calculate the overall calorie consumption.
The Bodybugg has gotten mixed reviews. The people over at Starling Fitness critiqued the device for being too expensive without having proven to be accurate.
At the same time, there are rave reviews coming from users of the device. USA Today cites Jennifer White who says she lost 24 pounds on the device. Josh Hillis of Josh’s Garage says that his clients used Bodybugg to manage their calories in addition to their workouts in the gym, which helped them all achieve fantastic results. And the comments section on Starling Fitness is full of people talking about the positive results that they gained from using the Bodybugg.
So if you need some extra help at losing weight, shell out $399 and get yourself the Bodybugg.
