19-03-2012 18:42 The best way of Losing Weight and Keeping it off, is not to focus on weight loss but rather to focus on methods of getting healthier and building better health. Let weight loss be the side effect or the by product of getting healthier. The other thing is that this should be a step by step process. Too many of the plans are just too radical, and of course people jump into it full of enthusiasm and it works for a while, but then it is so restrictive or tough that they simply give up and go back to there old habits. So it is important to create new habits. You want to be able to look back after 3 months and say to yourself, wow I have made some good progress, I taken some good steps toward building better health and then look back after 6 months and be impressed with how far you have come. Often little steps which may appear to be insignificant on their own, when combined can have a major impact. This should be all about the journey, about developing good lifestyle habits. Now a big part of that is awareness and learning what it takes to be healthy. There is a great saying: That you can give a person a fish and that person will be able to feed his family for a day or you can teach that person how to fish and that person can feed his family for a lifetime. I think the same applies here. Learn what it takes to be healthy, From a Physical, Spirital as well as Mental perspective.

MISSION VIEJO, Calif., March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Women's health website Lifescript.com interviewed tennis great Martina Navratilova, winner of 59 Grand Slam titles and a breast cancersurvivor, about her health battles and upcoming appearance as a contestant on TV's "Dancing With the Stars."

The exclusive story was published today on Lifescript's Breast Cancer Health Center. Navratilova talks about how she sprang to action after being diagnosed with breast cancer and overcame it just two months later.

"Martina is really focused on her health and fitness. You wouldn't believe her muscles. She's 55 and she's fierce. Sports stars generally do well on the show and she's in tip-top shape," says Lifescript Entertainment Editor Mari Cartel, who interviewed the tennis champ.

Navratilova tells Lifescript how she's overcome many health scares. Her near-death experience climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro threatened her life even more severely than her breast cancer; she developed high-altitude pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs) during the climb. Throughout her tennis career, she fought to rein in symptoms of arthritis.

Age certainly doesn't hold her back. Navratilova continued to win tennis matches and tournaments well after the age of 40. Now retired from professional tennis, Navratilova maintains a toned figure without working out. She shares her secret with Lifescript, "I don't train. I was in the gym [maybe] five times last year." Instead, she plays sports, rides her bicycle and runs.

The enviably fit tennis star told Lifescript it's no sweat dancing four hours straight in the studio with her "Dancing With the Stars" partner Tony Dovolani.

Next on her fitness to-do list? "I'm trying to elongate [my muscles]," she tells Lifescript.

Season 14 of "Dancing With the Stars" premiered Monday, March 19 on ABC.

Lifescript Interviews Tennis Great Martina Navratilova

Along with her mum, auntie and partner Jill, Tara Cull is set for an epic cycling journey through Victorias scenic countryside all to raise money for a cause close to their hearts.

Our team is called the Rolling Stones, Tara (in the centre of the photo above) tells Same Same. Its inspired by my grandma Jane Stone, who is currently undergoing Chemo at Melbournes Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.

Taking place over two days, the Ride to Conquer Cancer happens in October, starting in Melbourne and taking in the rolling hills and vineyards around the Yarra Valley. This is a challenging adventure which the Rolling Stones have been in training for since the start of the year. Funds the participants raise goes directly to Peter Mac the only public hospital in Australia which is solely dedicated to cancer.

The way it works is all three of us need to raise $2,500 each as a minimum in order to enter, explains Tara. So, as you can imagine it feels like a big task while trying to also train.

So far the awesome foursome have raised well over $6,000, but are still several thousand dollars off their target.

Were doing this because we know that cancer is too big a disease to ignore, she adds. It affects everyone, maybe you, me, our parents, kids, siblings or friends. Sadly, maybe all of the above.

But by riding in this event we are doing something about it. Were rolling closer and closer to the end of cancer and we are doing it together to show our support to each other and the people we love.

Check out the Rolling Stones fundraising page here and catch up with the latest from the inspiring cyclists here on their official blog.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Night owls, insomniacs, shift workers and other denizens of the dark are finding less need to fit their workout time into the nine-to-five world.

More gyms are remaining open round the clock, experts say, spurred by advances in surveillance and security technology, clients' ever more fluid work habits and a generation of multi-tasking consumers.

"A lot of people work untraditional times and they take advantage of clubs open at all hours," said Carl Liebert, CEO of 24 Hour Fitness, an international chain of health clubs, most of them open around the clock.

Liebert said his 30-year-old chain has seen an increase in after-hours traffic, with five to 15 percent of clients, depending on location, working out between midnight and 5:00 a.m.

"I think people have changed," he said. "They're online; they're connected day and night. When I grew up I went to bed at night and got up in the morning. Between those times I wasn't multitasking."

Liebert said common night visitors include people who work out to relieve stress, insomniacs, and hard-core fitness fanatics who wouldn't miss a workout and prefer a gym less crowded.

The number of health clubs open 24 hours has soared from just couple hundred five years ago to more than 2,000 today, according to IHRSA, the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association, a trade association of fitness facilities.

Spokesperson Meredith Poppler said while most club goers still work out during regular hours, technology has enabled small, often rural, clubs to operate overnight, and sometimes unstaffed.

"Cameras on the doors, cameras in the clubs, safety buttons each member carries set them apart," said Poppler. "Many of the operators are in the clubs at certain times of days, but other times the clubs are truly unstaffed."

Access is granted via a swipe card or key fob.
