Fitness enthusiasts should try to maximize their exercise routines in order to save time and enjoy better results. The following tips cover some ways to optimize workouts at home, in the gym and in the outdoors.
High Intensity An effective workout can be done in a relatively short amount of time if the intensity is high. For example, a demanding routine may last for only 20 minutes, but it can burn the same amount of calories as spending an hour on the elliptical trainer or treadmill. The maximum heart rate during a workout is a great indicator of the intensity of a particular activity. Hydration Before Exercise Although sports drinks are loaded with minerals such as electrolytes, they may upset the stomach. Drinking plenty of water is an excellent form of preparing for a moderate exercise. Soda and even natural juices can upset the PH in the stomach and contribute to cramping during a workout. Additionally, any bouncing motion essentially swirls mixtures of liquids inside the gastrointestinal system, which can interfere with some exercises. Incremental Improvement When lifting weights, it is important to understand the concept of incremental progression. It's a good idea to increase the weights by only a small amount. When lifting dumbbells, an increase from 20 to 30 pounds would be appropriate. When using weight machines, it would not be smart to increase the load by more than 50 pounds within the same workout session in a given day. In fact, it's recommended that the same maximum load be used for about a week until switching to heavier loads on a weight machine. Weight Loss Strategy Aerobic exercises are most effective for losing weight, but it’s also about the food that you’re putting into your body. Some studies suggest that low-impact activities such as walking and cycling are ideal for weight loss, while others point towards shorter high intensity workouts. The point is to stay active. Lululemon founder and yogi Chip Wilson makes it a goal to move at least once per day. Protein Consumption Any exercises categorized as strength training can be maximized with the proper intake of protein. Without this vital nutrient, the muscles simply cannot recover properly. Weight lifters should make sure to eat plenty of protein that is derived from meat as well as dairy sources. Whey-based supplements are also effective at building muscle mass after workouts. Diet plays an important role in the optimization of exercise. The proper intake of fluids and nutrients can prepare individuals for a great workout as well as a full recovery.

All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** The LEGO® Movie, the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure, directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller is an original 3D computer animated story that follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.
Chris Pratt (Moneyball) stars as the voice of Emmet. Will Ferrell (The Campaign) stars as the voice of his primary adversary, President Business, an erudite, anal-retentive CEO who has a hard time balancing world domination with micro-managing his own life; while Liam Neeson (Taken) voices the president's powerful henchman, known as Bad Cop, who will stop at nothing to catch Emmet. Starring as Emmet's fellow travelers are Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby), as Vitruvius, an old mystic; Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games, Emmy nominee for 30 Rock), as tough-as-nails Lucy, who mistakes Emmet for the savior of the world and guides him on his quest; Will Arnett (Emmy nominee, 30 Rock), as the mysterious Batman, a LEGO minifigure with whom Lucy shares a history; Nick Offerman (NBC's Parks and Recreation) as a craggy, swaggering pirate, obsessed with revenge on President Business; and Alison Brie (Community) as a sweet, loveable member of the team, with a powerful secret. ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review.

Don't tell anyone, though, since I just claim I am celebrating an anniversary of turning 29. I don't say which anniversary, of course, since it's not lady-like to share your true age. Okay, so that's total hogwash, but it sounded good. Can you tell this getting older stuff totally stresses me out?
This year, my husband has gone all out to make my birthday the best ever. If you're my friend on my personal Facebook, you probably know all too well that I am just a wee bit obsessed with amazing talent that is Bruno Mars. Okay, that's a lie. I am completely obsessed. I mean, who else can write their own music, play every instrument under the sun with extreme skill, dance like there's no tomorrow, and then there's that voice... Eeeeeeek! Yep. Total fan-girl here. Well my amazing hubby got me 11th row seats to Bruno's show in Cleveland, which just happens to be the day before my birthday! I am totally stoked.

When your little one is learning to tie their shoes, it can full of frustration. Luckily, there's an innovative new product that can remove the two biggest obstacles in shoe tying: lace confusion and floppy laces. Easy Tie Shoelaces help your child learn to tie by replacing their regular laces with special, dual colored laces. Created by a teacher and designed by an engineer, Easy Tie Shoelaces may look ordinary but they are actually the most advanced shoelaces on the market and your child’s best bet when it comes to mastering shoe tying. No more fumbling with two stark white laces, wondering which loop is which. Dual colors aid in lace identification and the design of the lace holds its shape and allows early tiers time to tie. Another great feature is that some of the laces have a special texture. Easy Tie knows that although color is important, texture can be the key to learning and understanding for some children. That's why, the striped laces (in either Pink & White and Black & Grey) have a courser texture to them. Just pair one of those laces with any of the solid color laces to provide both a unique look and critical sensory feedback. Another cool thing about Easy Tie laces is that they're designed in a way that guarantees that they will always stay even in length (37 inches and perfect for shoes sizes 8-3). Always even, non-floppy, cool colored laces! Easy Tie Laces are the perfect tool for setting your child up for shoelace tying success. They even come in 9 vibrant colors so your child can pick their favorites! Check out this short video to see why Easy Tie shoelaces are the best for learning to tie: Easy Tie Shoelaces wants to give one lucky person a pair of their innovative laces, PLUS a $50 Amazon Gift Card so you can purchase your child a pair of new shoes! Open to the US only, ages 18 and up. Ends 7/2/14 at 11:59 PM EST. Enter using the Giveaway Tools form below. Disclosure: I did not receive any compensation for hosting this giveaway.

All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Okay, so I have to admit it....I am not a big fan of camping. Actually, I kind of hate it. Don't get me wrong, I love the outdoors, going fishing and hiking, and relaxing by a nice bonfire. I just don't like sleeping outdoors, having to pee in bushes, and I HATE bugs. (Yes, I meant to use big letters there. That's how much I dislike being around bugs.)
So my idea of camping involves a cabin or hotel room with air conditioning, a fully functional kitchen or room service, working plumbing, and free wifi, with outdoor activities to be enjoyed during the day. Yes, this aversion to camping makes me sound like a total and complete snob, but my allergies during peak camping season basically make me miserable, and my misery would ruin everyone else's fun. Of course the rest of my family loves the idea of camping, and now that Sophie and Xander aren't little babies, we are trying to give them that experience right in our own backyard. We have a fire pit for roasting S'mores, a playground for them to play on, a grill for "camp foods", and right down the road is a fantastic park with waterfalls for nature walks. So really, backyard camping makes the perfect "staycation", and everyone ends up happy. They can sleep outside in the tent with Daddy, and I can hang out for a bit and retreat back indoors when the sneezes come on or I start becoming a all-you-can-eat banquet for mosquitos.
