Boot Camps Get the Weight Off for Spring

If you want to shape up, look and feel great and experience permanent weight loss then try going to a boot camp. Boot camp for moms is the place for you to meet these goals. Not only will you get the weight off and keep it off at but you will get the weight off fast! Some people see losses in inches or of at least a pound or two after just two or three workouts!

Losing weight is hard enough. Losing it and keeping it off is even harder. Weight loss trainers understand this. That is because many of them have 'been there' when it comes to have a few too many extra pounds on with no idea how to lose it fast. They also know you are a busy mom and every minute counts.

If you have always thought that other trainers or weight loss experts have looked down on you for craving food or being tired during a workout, you are not going to find that kind of attitude at the new work out boot camps for moms.

The routines that have been designed so that when you participate in a work out you burn the most fat possible in the shortest amount of time. You have a busy schedule and need to make the most of your workout while you can so the moves are deft, efficient and burn the most calories possible without harmful exertion.

The best way to avoid exerting yourself or to avoid tiring yourself out is to be assessed. At no point will you be put in a position where you feel 'burnt out' after a routine if you go to a good boot camp. They known a discouraged and tired out mom is simply not going to come back…

A lot of these boot camps will whip you into shape for spring without having to pay the high price of hiring a personal trainer. Boot camp staff will also help provide you with diets and eating guides that can help you still lose weight without feeling deprived. Eating right is part of the battle when it comes through sustaining yourself through a workout.

Another great thing about these boot camps is that if you do not lose weight you get your money back. Many of these boot camps will refund you if do not lose a full dress size after a month of working out.

As a busy mom it is very important to keep fit. We often forget to simply because we are always putting other people's needs before our own. This is a mistake because we have to take care of ourselves before we can take anybody else.

Why Your Second Child Acts A Little Wierd

When you gave birth to your first child you were all excited and exuberant. You probably did every little thing right. You probably took vitamins, went to Yoga and made sure that every single moment of that first born's first few moments were photographs.

Then came your second child. You forgot to avoid fat and caffeine. You gave birth to the kid but you are simply not as vigilant or as enthusiastic as you were with the first kid. Does this mean that there is something wrong with you?

The answer is no. There is even a name for this type of behavior. It is called Second Child Syndrome. The term was coined by a famous Austrian psychologist named Alfred Adler. He had a theory that children developed different character traits according to their birth order.

Normally the first child is new to you so you are naturally driven to applaud its every new moment. The first born is often the apple of the mother's eye. However when the second child comes many mothers have more of a 'been there, done that' type of attitude. The baby picks up on this and feels less recognized or appreciated then the first born. Soon he begins to develop resentful feelings for his sibling. In fact, treating the first born better than the second born, even on a subconscious level, can affect the second born's self-esteem and create feelings of sibling rivalry.

Another factor in this is looking after two kids at once. Ultimately one kid always gets ignored. Usually it is the younger one. This is usually because the older one has more confidence, is more demanding and usually gets his or her way.

This is why the second child acts a little weird. He or she can be a loner and not that great at cooperating with others. They tend to get in more trouble and get really upset if you compare them to the older child. The second child will build walls around him or herself and develop a negative attitude. They can be angry, sullen and sarcastic. Many of them have problems performing because they feel they are under too much pressure and cannot possibly live up to the image of the first born (who from his or her point of view, you love much better!)

For all of these reasons it does not hurt to give the middle child a little more attention every now and then. Just even an extra hour or two spent with him or her can make a big difference and help prevent your little one from developing huge emotional and personality dysfunctions in the future.
