PGX wants you to start jumping!

Today's Friday Fitness Trend: the Jump Rope!

Do you have fond memories of skipping with your friends using a jump rope? Well why not relive those memories and get your heart pumping. Using a jump rope can be a great cardio workout and, let's face it, way more fun than running nowhere on a treadmill! You may be pleasantly surprised to know that with a jump rope you can burn up to 600 calories an hour! That means if you jump for even just 20 minutes, you can burn up to 200. These numbers vary and depend on your pace.

Sound good? Check out this 15-minute jump rope routine from Real Simple.

Stay fit and don't forget your fiber!

PGX and Julia Havey Investigate: Soft Drinks

Regular soda versus diet soda. What do these drinks do to our bodies? 

Every time I give a lecture about health and diets, I talk about how consuming soft drinks (or any sugary beverages) regularly can put up to 15 lbs on the human body in one year. Without fail at least one hand in the crowd goes up and someone asks “But what about drinking diet soda? Is that okay?”

In my humble opinion is that it’s not okay to have diet sodas. When people ask me about diet soda, I will always give them them the same advice to help them be healthier than ever. Your body is made of 75% water, not 75% pop, regular or diet! It's a slim chance that soft drinks will ever be part of the solution to optimal health.

Will diet sodas hinder weight loss? I think so. Will they make you gain more weight? Quite possibly! Science aside, I have plenty of anecdotes from readers who have shared how cutting out diet soft drinks have been a big part of their overall weight loss success.

Moving past the anecdotes, let's take a look at what the experts think about diet soda in the gulfnews.com article, "Diet soda likely to cause weight gain, experts warn."

I'm sure for many of us there has been a moment when we decide: "That's it. I'm changing my eating habits. I'm going to lose weight and stay trim and fit! I want to be a healthier me."

So, we start avidly reading more about where to begin. We purchase new workout clothes and gear, make our plans and set our goals. Are you setting the right goals for you?

You may have an ideal body weight in mind but is it healthy? Try this "Ideal Body Weight Calculator" from SELF Magazine. 

I tried this calculator and got a wide range of ideal weights acording to height and gender. Remember that this is just an estimate and the ideal healthy weight varies from person to person. I aim for somewhere in the middle of my weight range.
