If you have been in an indoor exercise rut, the warm March temps aren’t the only thing that should give you a kick in the behind to get out of it. Research suggests that your body becomes accustomed to your workout, often causing a weight loss plateau. To combat this, keep your body challenged with new activities. Plateaus occur when your body becomes used to daily activities and doesn’t burn calories as efficiently as it did when you were first taking part in that activity. So, get off that treadmill and onto the basketball court or even just switch to running outside to help get you out of a rut!

NLT: Catch the March Madness fever this month and take a card from your alma mater. As college teams compete for the Final Four, try shooting hoops! You don’t have to be Anthony Davis to benefit from the interval burn that goes along with basketball. A game of one-on-one will have you running, reaching, dribbling, and scoring nothing but net! Check out this Men’s Health article beforehand to get your body ready for all that dribbling, sprinting, and dunking!

Here is a pic of superstar NL Certified Dietitian Jolene Harrison and a few comments on her latest NL adventure…

Today I chatted with George Stephanopoulos during a segment on Good Morning America for Women’s Health Magazine. We spoke about the recent wave of popular celebs that’ve made some pretty stunning transformations this summer.

Drew Carey, John Goodman, Jennifer Hudson, and Bill Clinton all slimmed down this summer, and each of them followed different diets to shed the weight!

So, how did they do it? Watch below!

This morning I was on Good Morning America with Women’s Health Magazine, talking about one of my favorite topics – frozen treats!

On these HOT Summer days sometimes there’s nothing better then a cold, delicious…Indulgence!  I’m all for satisfying your craving, just remember to make it a conscious indulgence.

Whether you are a frozen yogurt, an ice cream sandwich, fudge pop, or fruit pop kinda person, there is a frozen treat for you! At Women’s Health, we chose them based on convenience, calories, ingredients, and of course, taste.
