Get motivated: Lose weight now

Now that the Summer Olympic Games are here, it's time to get physical. Does watching the Olympics motivate you? Get out there and burn some calories to lose weight and feel great.

No need to watch on the sidelines anymore when you can challenge yourself to be an Olympian at home.

No pain, no gain

What follows is how many calories you can burn by doing exercises you typically see during the Olympics. The number of calories listed are how many a 150-lb. person can burn when performing each exercise for 30 minutes--a great start for cardiovascular fitness.
