If you are like me, then you will probably know that using free weights and machines is the fastest and most efficient way there is to improve your metabolism and strength but for many reasons these may not be convenient or readily accessible to you.

You may also have no access to a commercial gym, home gym or are on business trip, but there can be a solution, a strength-training workout without the need of expensive machines.

As with any exercise, whether you are using your own body weight, machines or free weights, if the resistance doesn’t increase, your muscles won’t be worked to their maximum capacity and the stimulus these fibres need to grow will be missing.

I am behind on my press releases again, and much to my disappointment, I found an article relating to the debut of the Cellubike on ABC’s popular morning show “The View” dated for January 22nd. As we all know, this show has been creating controversy lately because of the friction between the hosts - Rosie O’Donnell and Barbara Walters, and it would have been great to see what their reaction to this new contraption that claims “take the ride of your life and leave your fat behind - for a smoother, stronger, healthier, younger looking body without surgery”.

The Cellubike combines your cardio-vascular exercise with modern infrared technology. So not only will it assist you in losing inches and weight, but also with the reduction of cellulite, detoxifies the body of narcotics, increase the body’s metabolism, and reduce stress. This is just to name a few of the benefits the Cellubike can offer.

In Consumers Digest Magazine’s first-ever review of weight loss camps Wellspring Camps were rated as the best weight loss camps and substantially superior to traditional weight loss camps.

“We’re honored that Consumers Digest has recognized Wellspring as the most effective weight loss programs for children and adolescents,” said Wellspring Clinical Director Daniel S. Kirschenbaum, Ph.D. “The unprecedented outcomes achieved by Wellspring campers clearly differentiate our programs from traditional weight loss camps.”

Consumers Digest cites as evidence a study showing that in the summer of 2005, Wellspring Campers averaged weight loss of 21 lbs. at camp, and in the 6-9 months following camp not only maintained this weight loss, but averaged an additional weight loss of 5 lbs. No other weight loss program for children, adolescents, or adults has demonstrated comparable outcomes.

According to Consumers Digest these results provide a stark contrast with traditional weight loss camps, which the magazine says produce only “revolving door results.” Consumers Digest explains that the results achieved by traditional weight loss camps are called “revolving door” because participants often lose weight at camp but then regain it at home.”

Consumers Digest attributes Wellspring’s remarkable outcomes to incorporating “intensive behavioral modification therapy along with education about diet and fitness.”
