Want Hot Arms? Then Head to the Kitchen!

By JJ Virgin

Of course, the right exercise is crucial for shaping slim & sexy arms but it is only one part of my integrated program for creating the arms and body of your dreams. You must also feed your arms so that you are building muscle while burning off the fat. I am sharing three of my top tips from Six Weeks to Sleeveless and Sexy that you can put into action right away.

How to "Feed Your Arms":

1. Drink up. Be sure to drink eight or more glasses of pure spring water in-between meals to keep your appetite at bay, support metabolism and burn fat. Don't drink more than a few ounces with your meals because too much water during meals can dilute stomach acid and impair digestion. Drinking pure spring water throughout the rest of your day will also help your stress hormones stay balanced as even mild dehydration can raise stress hormones. And remember sodas, coffee and sugary sports drinks pretending to be water do not count as your daily water intake.

2. Eat a substantial breakfast. Research shows that people who eat a substantial balanced breakfast of clean lean protein, high fiber carbs and healthy fat lose more weight AND keep it off. Make a little time in the morning and indulge in a satisfying meal that will keep you going for hours. By the way, you don't need to eat "breakfast" for breakfast. If you want a turkey wrap for breakfast, then enjoy! 3. Follow your workout with clean lean protein and a high fiber carb. The amino acids from protein support muscle growth and recovery, plus your body uses carbs to refuel your muscle stores of energy (glycogen) to set you up for success during your next workout. Please skip the sports nutrition bars, which I always dub "adult candy bars." And remember: Just because you worked out doesn't mean it's okay to saddle up to Ben or Jerry.

Harbinger's Eco-Fit Training Mats "dual-layer" foam construction enhances the two best features of any mat - comfort and function. The closed cell foam is 25 percent more lightweight than traditional foam mats and is only 3/8 inches thick, while providing the same level of cushioning as thicker mats. The top layer's innovative no-slip pattern helps prevents injuries and strains, while the second layer with no-skid traction ridges grips the floor. Together, the dual-layer technology makes workouts more comfortable and safe.

5 Fitness Products to Improve Your Health

Harbinger was recently in San Diego, Ca. for the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association Convention a.k.a. the IHRSA Convention. There, a pair of Training Grip Gloves, with TechGel Comfort Pods were given to Michael Mantell, of San Diego Magazine.

"Seeing the number of trainers wearing workout gloves by Harbinger led me to try out a pair for myself. I got the “Training Grip” model that features, according to the company, TechGel Comfort Pods. The glove molds to my palms and thumbs, giving me honest cushioning and protection. I think I’m lifting more weight because of these gloves — or is it the watch? In any case, these gloves not only protect my hands and wrists but also give me that fierce look that only black gloves in a gym provide. You know the look. Now others are asking me where they can get a pair. Go to harbingerfitness.com for more information and where to buy these fabulous gloves."

Thank you, Michael. If you would like to buy "these fabulous gloves," visit the link or for the rest of the article, go here.

Gym Germs - No need to befriend these guys at the gym!

Bringing your own mat to the gym...

...seemed like a good idea all summer - after all, who wants to use a mat you know has already seen its share of sit-ups? But as flu season gets underway, it's now looking like an even better idea than ever!

Any personal mat is better than sharing with the rest of the club, but the best mat of all is one that has anti-microbial properties. Sound complicated? It's not. Just take a peek at our Anti-Microbial Mat.

This mat's exclusive 5/8" thick closed-cell Durafoam (TM) will offer you that extra edge of protection against germs. It prevents bacterial growth and odor, and won't wash off over time.

So consider yourself protected - and remember: it's OK not to befriend absolutely everyone at the gym!
