A fitness program that’s taking advantage of people’s busy lives? Or a novel and appealing approach to your everyday workout?

In a society where most of us barely have time to brush our teeth in the morning (although I do – I promise!), it’s no wonder a fitness schedule that only takes 4-12 minutes out of your day sounds appealing.

But, a workout program that only takes 4-12 minutes and claims to “burn up to 12x more fat than traditional exercise” also seems a little dubious, does it not?

However, the mechanics behind 20 Second Fitness are fairly simple, and seem quite logical: workout as hard as you can, and you won’t have to workout for as long. (Check out a more elaborate and comprehensive explanation of the theoretical science behind 20 Second Fitness.)

Could more Zzz's be making you more attractive?

Have you ever woken up after a great night’s sleep, looked in the mirror and thought, I’m looking pretty good today!? Well, it turns out that your eyes may not have been playing tricks on you…

We all know that getting more sleep makes you feel better (especially first thing in the morning!) but getting that extra hour or two of sleep may in fact also be making you look better.

But can it really be that simple? That easy? Looking better by sleeping? According to many health care professionals, yes! Yes, it can! How, you ask? Read Sleep: The Most Natural Beauty Treatment Of Them All? for the full scoop.

So instead of waking up earlier to do that extensive beauty regimen each morning, put that time towards more sleep!

Inspirational Weight Loss Challenge issued by Toronto Mayor.

Having trouble sticking to your New Year’s resolution to lose weight? Already feeling unmotivated? Well, here comes some weight loss inspiration just for you!

Toronto Mayor, Rob Ford, has issued a weight loss challenge not only to himself and his brother, Coun. Doug Ford, but to all North Americans! Less than 2 weeks ago, Mayor Ford launched a 6 month weight loss campaign, Cut the Waist Challenge, in hopes of losing 50 lbs. by June 18^th. Both brothers will be publicly weighing in every Monday until the end of the campaign and are encouraging Toronto residents to follow suit! In fact, Mayor Ford has said that he knows that "the city of Toronto will lose more weight than any other city in North America,'' and has challenged other North American Mayors and North America as a whole to compete in the challenge.

Join the conversation at http://www.cutthewaist.ca where you can join the challenge, share your weight loss journey and/or pledge to a charity of your choice.

Mayor Ford has already lost 10 lbs. and Coun. Ford has lost 9 lbs!
