Fridge Friend.... Would You Like A Helping Hand?

 Ladies and Gentlemen, sometimes we all need friends, or buddies to tell us when we are going off track. 

We would all love to have comfort that there is someone out there that is honest enough to tell us when we look 'aweful'.  Whether it's something we want to hear or not!  

Here is my friends at the LFGC UK, we are honest enough with each other to do that without upsetting or taking offence.  

But, for some of us there are no friends or buddies, or we may just not want to burden them with our thoughts and feelings of what we are going through.  

Some of us don't have the will power, and give up way to easily on achieving our targets and goals, whether weightloss or otherwise. 

SO I was priveldged when one of our readers offered up something which they found online, and which has helped them to stick to their program.   Now this handy little devise is called a 'Fridge Friend', or Enemy, depends who you look at it :)

 

 The Fridge Friends is a magnetic frame where you can set up motivational recordings to help you keep stick  achieve your goals and dreams....


How does the Fridge Friend Motivate you to do this?  

This little devise is so flexible, you can either take a photo or two, or record up to three or more 10 second videos to inspire you to either exercise or lose weight, work out more, or simply to help you work towards your goals and dreams whatever these may be. 




I gave this to a friend for a week, to get her perspective on this, and here is her review below:

"I thought the VM was fantastic. I was easy to use and theinstructions were clear and structural. Due to shift work I have a bad habit ofsneaking down stairs at late hours in the night to see what I can munch on.I’ve struggled a lot breaking out that habit but after having a the VM for aweek, I was able to record positive memos to myself which motivated me a lotand  I am now back on the right track,not eating at late hours.  Just using it for the week, I have managed 2lbs of weightloss! Yeah! However theonly issue I had was I didn’t now how to take a photo, on the VM and I couldn’tfind any instructions for it. SF, Herts"

I also used the devise for a week and here are my views:

Had fun recording movational messages on it to help me achieve some personal goals of mine. One of my foodie downfalls is cheese and biscuits with a glass of wine in the evening.  Having the Fridge Friend in place actually stopped me on a number of occassions from raiding the fridge... I should have recorded a message for my partner to lay off the 'chocolate'! lol! 

When you go near the fridge, press the play button to see the video message recorded! You can have fun with it too...


Another great review from a friend (Carla Froggat /twitter @IdeasByNet)

who recommended this to me, and who also used this:

TheFridge Friend is perfect for recording motivational clips, reminders andinspiration. For example, I use it to record short interval workouts to help meget moving in the morning!

So there you have it, many uses for the fridge friend not just for dietary purposes, for exercise goals and also for personal motivational goals as well.  


The Fridge Friend retails at £24.99 and you can order through a sales representative  direct from this site http://www.ideasbynet.com/ 

 
I am including a PDF with moredetails of the Fridge Friend

**** GUEST POST **** The Top 10 Workout Songs For February

Last month we had a guest post written by Chris Lawhorn of RunHundred.com He has kindly said he would give us the TOP 10 workout songs for each month. The songs are voted by readers so if you have suggestions, feel free to contact Chris via his website and let him know what your favourite songs for working out are.

Outasight got their first taste of chart success. And, Adele turned in a performance so forceful that most folks didn't seem to mind that the song's more of a ballad than a traditional workout jam.

Sports Nutrition Tips - How To Get The Most Out Of Your Workout

Today we're going to talk about sports nutrition.

Sports people have a far greater demand on their body they need more energy and food and the intake is a lot higher they are many deficiencies in their diet and if so this can cause injury.

With athletes they earn more money if their performance improves and they have less injuries so it really is important for them to have a good nutritional program.

The effects of exercise and playing sports can have the following they need more oxygen and their muscles need a lot of oxygen they also need more antioxidants to fight free radicals within their body.

There are four phases of nutrition for a sports person. 

Phase 1 is also known as the fuelling stage now within the fuelling stage you need carbohydrates and basically carbohydrates help you to sustain your energy levels and ensure that your sugar levels don't drop beyond a certain point. 

The second phase  is known as the refuelling stage and this is really important because it helps to keep the levels of hydration up. 

In this stage it's really important to take a Formula One shake in juice with no protein half an hour before a race this is to help restore the muscle glycogens half an hour before a race.

Some athletes use carb loading pre-race this is to help muscle load up with glycogen which will actually help them to sustain long-term energy. 

It is important during and after an event to take in water Drinkwater every 10 min during exercise. 

The third phase is the recovery stage and at the recovery stage this will help muscle growth and delayed muscle soreness so it's important to take a high level of protein after a workout and you need to take antioxidants to help fight the free radicals produced when work out or racing. Free radicals are produced more than normal on people who do not read really work out it is important to drink and keep yourself hydrated because as you are in the race or working out causes sweating and this reduces your electrolytes. Electrolytes are vitamins and minerals needed the concentration and lack of these can make you pass out so it is really important for you to hydrate.

And the final phase is the repair stage .This is your chance to build muscle you have a two hour window to get the build process going muscles tear when you exercise. You need more protein to help build and repair muscle. If you work out you'll need more protein especially after exercise.

Discovering Reading on a Cycle Ride.... Lovely Scenery!

On a Crisp Sunday afternoon cycle ride along a Reading Riverbank...

It was a really crisp day, which is ideal for working up a sweat cycling and discovering some lovely scenery in Reading.  Must remember to get some proper cycling clothes.  I had on a thick jumper over a long t-shirt style top which kept me lovely and warm, but a bit bulky when riding.

Unlike my partner Glenn, who was all kitted out in 'proper' cycling gear, long johns included! lol!

Cycling is really great for you, not too much on the joints, and great for shaping up your thighs, legs and bums.  We rode around 4 miles on this journey and ended in a lovely tavern called The Tylers Rest, where we had a well deserved lunch and drinks.  Healthy options of course....

Cycling with family or friends and discovering the area where you live is a great way to get your cardio exercise in.  If you haven't got a bicycle then my previous blog post about finding the right bike for you may help.

Enjoy the video.....
