Take A Serious Look At Your Body Fat
There are many diets and fitness programs out there that are concerned with one thing: how you look. They are centered around the idea that in order to be attractive and valuable you must be thin. These diets and fitness plans are merely ploys to get people to spend money on the latest fad out of a guarentee that they will lose weight instantly and never gain it back while eating their favorite desserts and not lifting a finger. Those plans just don t work. In fact, they can do even more damage than good. As a fitness trainer, I consider one of my most important tasks to be informing people about the truths about health.

Charity Auction Hits Timely Note For Musicians
Thanks to the efforts of two award-winning musicians and the support of an internationally known maker of fine time-pieces, a symphony of support has been created for the musicians of New Orleans. Shortly after witnessing the devastation caused in New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina, Harry Connick, Jr. and Branford Marsalis created an organization called the New Orleans Habitat Musicians Village. A division of Habitat for Humanity, the Village is a charity focused on building housing for musicians who lost everything during Katrina. The idea was to keep music talent in New Orleans so that future generations could enjoy the same musical atmosphere that Connick and Marsalis experienced growing up. Connick, who had just completed a successful four-month starring role in the Tony Award-winning revival show, The Pajama Game, added five final benefit shows to raise funds for Musicians Village. To support the effort, Longines, which has counted Connick as its ambassador and Icon of Elegance since 2005, created a set of exclusive limited-edition timepieces for the final benefit shows.
