What Did We Learn This Month?
Health magazine: March 2012
What’s happening in the March issue of Health?
Health Cover Star for March:
Jillian Michaels is on the cover of the March issue and she gives advice on how to overcome negative thoughts and self-doubt to reach your fitness & health goals. My favorite quote from the interview—“I don’t care whose butt you’ve posted on the screen of your treadmill.” (Jillian admits that Madonna and Linda Hamilton’s sleek physique in Terminator 2 were early fitness inspirations.)
Jillian also shows us her favorite moves for keeping in top shape--see!
So what else is inside the March Health?
"Your Essential Yoga Guide”
Health talks about all of the different types of yoga classes out there and which might work best just for you. Plus, there’s a “Flex in 5” routine from Sacred Movement yoga instructor Seanne Corn.
“Belly Fat Be Gone”
Very smart (and scientifically sound) tips for lowering the area around your middle that does not include starvation or deprivation which is a good thing.
“Healthier Cooking Starts Here”
A full page of kitchen stuffs that give me a big case of the ‘I wants.” (Especially the “onion goggle glasses” that are pure genius.)
"Standout Sneakers"
The latest shoes for running, cross-training and more that are so darn cute-looking that I am getting more “I wants” here.
"Your Back: A User’s Manual"
If you have any kind of back issue whatsoever, this is the article for you. Really good information here.

- "How to Fake a Good Night’s Sleep” This feature will come in handy those days I can’t get all of my Zzzz’s in.
