Let me first start by saying the title is not squeezing “exercise” into your busy schedule. Exercise is over stated, overall fitness is not. Being fit and healthy is more about your diet than it is about your workout routine. Getting in shape and losing a little weight (if that’s what you’re trying to do) is actually very, very easy.

You’re already going to eat, so if you can teach yourself to eat right that’s half the battle. Here are some basic eating tips that if stuck to will clean out your body in no time

Just a late Tuesday treat for all you YGG’s. The blog is now compatible with WAP enabled smartphones, BlackBerry’s and PDA’s. Sure all you iPhone users don’t care, but neither do we. We’ve even preserved your ability to comment on blog posts. Don’t say we never gave you anything!
