I remembered sharing with you this simple method to figure out your body frame minus the mathematical computations. 

 This is in just one very easy step!

Simply wrap your thumb and major fingers around the smallest part of your wrist.  You will know you have a:

SMALL Frame if your fingers overlap

MEDIUM Frame if your fingers only touch

LARGE Frame if your fingers don’t touch

If those fingers don’t touch, you know what to do!  Start attracting natural weight loss and create a new you! 

P.S.

It is always best to consult your physician before starting any weight loss plan or program.

We all know that exercise is extremely important. 

To keep you motivated, allow me to share with you this really helpful list of top 20 exercise benefits that I got from this webpage:

BENEFITS OF EXERCISE

1. Elevates your metabolism so that you burn more calories everyday.

2. Increases your aerobic capacity (fitness level). This gives you the ability to go through your day with less relative energy expenditure. This enables a “fit” person to have more energy at the end of the day and to get more accomplished during the day with less fatigue.

3. Maintains, tones, and strengthens your muscle. Exercise also increases your muscular endurance.

4. Decreases your blood pressure.

5. Increases the oxidation (breakdown and use) of fat.

6. Increases HDL (good) cholesterol.

7. Makes the heart a more efficient pump by increasing stroke volume.

8. Increases hemoglobin concentration in your blood. Hemoglobin is part of the red blood cell that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

9. Decreases the tendency of the blood to clot in the blood vessels. This is important because small clots traveling in the blood are often the cause of heart attacks and strokes.

10. Increases the strength of the bones.

11. Causes the development of new blood vessels in the heart and other muscles.

12. Enlarges the arteries that supply blood to the heart.

13. Decreases blood levels of triglycerides (fat).

14. Improves control of blood sugar.

15. Improves sleep patterns.

16. Increases the efficiency of the digestive system which may reduce the incidence of colon cancer.

17. Increases the thickness of cartilage in joints which has a protective effect on the joints.

18. Decreases a woman’s risk of developing endometriosis by 50%.

19. Increases the amount of blood that flows to the skin making it look and feel healthier.

20. Exercise, in addition to all the physiological and anatomical benefits, just makes you feel GREAT!

Age is not an excuse to stay away from any physical activity.  In fact, women over 40 are encouraged by fitness experts to maintain a consistent level of physical activity.  Joint pains, arthritis and similar conditions should not limit a woman over 40 to completely eliminate exercise in her daily schedule.

Moderately intense activity of at least 30 minutes per day is most recommended.  Brisk walking is an excellent exercise.  Aerobic routines are also preferable if you want to burn calories and lose weight, but as with any weight loss effort, consult your medical practitioner first to ensure your best health and safety.

If you can, it is also suggested that you incorporate some weight training in your fitness regimen.  Lifting will cause you to lose fat and prevent muscle loss at the same time.  It also does wonders for your metabolism and increase bone mass.

Just remember to choose a physical activity that you love doing the most and make a vow to stick to this commitment.

I wish you a very Happy New Year!
