The Information Product Business

 The Information Product Business A digital product is essentially any product that you don’t hold in your hands and that can be saved on a computer, smartphone or tablet. An information product meanwhile is a product that revolves around providing information. That means something like a book, a podcast or a course. So a digital informational product is something that ticks both these boxes much like this very eBook! This eBook is informational because you’re learning from it and it’s digital because it only exists on a file on your harddrive.

The Many Other Benefits of Running

The Many Other Benefits of Running  Fitness shouldn’t just be about losing weight. In fact, this is where a lot of people will go wrong. If you simply aim to lose weight, then you’ll find you can quickly become disheartened and you can make some bad choices regarding your diet and your training. Instead, all forms of fitness and training should be aimed at feeling better and being healthier. Because when you do that, you will find it much easier to stick to what you do and you’ll find that your body changes to look the way you want it to almost as a side effect. Don’t run to look good – just enjoy the fact that it happens! So the BIG benefit of running is what it does for your health. And it does tons for your health.

Your First Run And Your New Program

 Your First Run And Your New Program So with all that in mind, what can you do to start running if your plan is to stick with it? The first tip is to change the way you approach your first run. A lot of people approach their first run thinking they’re going to burn a ton of calories so that they can quickly see some results. But I want you to put that thought right out of your mind and completely change your approach. If you start running fast, with the wrong form, and when you’re this tired, you’re just going to hate it. You’ll feel sick, your shins and knees will hurt when your feet hit the pavement and you’ll sweat a bucket. So instead, your aim with your first run is to go slow and just enjoy. Your first goal is to learn to run, not to lose any weight. So the first few times you do it, you’ll go really gentle and if that means running with a 13 minute/mile pace… so be it! Focus on letting your feet land softly and just taking in the environment around you. You can keep it short...

Running Watches and Fitness Trackers

Running Watches and Fitness Trackers  If there’s one piece of equipment I would highly recommend (other than running shoes), then it is a fitness tracker or a running watch. These are relatively new gadgets and people were happily running without them for many years before they were invented. But the fact remains that these are great devices and they can make a huge difference to your running and your weight loss for a ton of reasons. Whether you opt for a fitness tracker or a running watch, there are a few things to look for. The best devices need to have: - GPS - A pedometer - Barometer - Heart rate monitor What this then allows you to do is to track your route, measure your distance, count your steps and even measure your steps. That information can also be collated to tell you all kinds of other things, such as: - Your VO2 max (in some cases) - Your MHR (maximum heart rate) - Your average heart rate - Your lowest heartrate - Your best split (the time it took you to complete one...

How to Lose Weight With Running

 How to Lose Weight With Running Using a very gently, gently approach, you can start to gradually improve your running ability and introduce it as a part of your regular routine. But of course you will eventually probably want to start increasing the amount of running you’re going to do so that you can start to lose weight. So this is then where you need to calculate how much running you need to do and how you can gradually progress. Once you have eased yourself into running then, the next step is to start increasing the amount you’re doing. Aim to increase to 5 or 6 miles once a week, which you’ll find is more than enough to start seeing some changes in your body composition over time. After a while, you should start to find that this is enough to begin seeing significant improvements in your overall fitness. What you’ll likely see specifically, is that your heart rate stays lower while you’re running and that your VO2 max improves (if you have a fitness tracker that is capable of...

HIIT Versus Steady State Cardio

 HIIT Versus Steady State Cardio If you want to run specifically for weight loss though and you’ve mastered simply jogging to the point where you’re able to do long runs twice a week, you might want to start introducing some more advanced protocols. The Fat Burning Zone – Fact or Myth? For example, you may have heard of the ‘fat-burning zone. This is the idea that there is an ideal speed at which the body will mobilize fat for energy. Is this true? Absolutely. That fat-burning zone is 70% of your MHR and if you run at this pace, then you’ll find your body automatically resorts to burning fat. Some people are wary to try and run above this number because they worry they’ll enter an anaerobic state meaning that they’re running too fast to burn fat for fuel (aerobic energy is relatively slow and inefficient). This too is true, so if your aim is simply to burn calories in the short term, then maintaining a run at 70% of your MHR is a good way to go ahead. But if you want to burn more c...
