Work Out With A Top Celeb Trainer—At Home!

“I didn’t tell you it was gonna be easy, I told you it was gonna be worth it.” Those are the tough-love words spoken directly into the camera by petite powerhouse Anna Kaiser about halfway through her new first-ever DVD, out January 1.

And I can tell you from experience that Anna, the trainer behind hot-bodied celebrities such as Kelly Ripa and Sarah Jessica Parker, is speaking her truth: Anna’s aim is to create challenging sweat sessions that yield real —and pretty rapid— results.

I first met Anna a few years ago at her studio in New York City, where she put me through one of her high-octane workout experiences. And since I am stronger muscularly than cardiovascularly, I admit I was sucking wind—big time. But thanks to Anna’s infectious energy and right-by-your-side encouragement, I somehow made it through…and left wanting more. I caught up with Anna a few days before the release of her Happy Hour DVD to chat about what fuels her and how you can score the strong body of your dreams, too.

Yahoo Health: How would you describe your fitness philosophy?

Anna Kaiser: I believe that everybody deserves a comprehensive workout. Your body needs the trifecta: strength, cardio, and flexibility. You need an efficient and effective way to get your best results while still having fun!  Why show up everyday if you don’t love it?  And why work out everyday if you aren’t reaching your goals? I want people to know that if they show up, they will get the results they’ve been waiting for… and so much more.

8 Mixers That Make Alcohol Healthier

8 Mixers That Make Alcohol Healthier

Full disclosure: Alcohol ranks pretty low on the scale of healthy things to put in your body. Not to get all preachy, but it contains calories that don’t fill you up, it lowers your inhibitions so you end up eating more, it dehydrates you and also causes you to retain water so you feel bloated and puffy, and it takes up so much of your liver’s attention that the organ stops metabolizing fat efficiently. And those are just the short-term effects, according to Caroline Cederquist, M.D., a weight-loss specialist, author of The MD Factor, and creator of the weight-loss program bistroMD.

5 Instant Belly Bloaters

My friend Sheryl had overeaten a bit at a cocktail party, and now she was feeling like a python that had just swallowed a pig. “This happens a lot. At least I know it’ll go away. No harm, no foul.”

But Sheryl shouldn’t be taking her temporary pregnancy so lightly. Bloating isn’t just a short-term discomfort that you can forget about once the “food baby” passes. Chronic bloating is a sign of inflammation, and an unhealthy gut. That’s why Zero Belly Diet, my new weight-loss program, puts such an emphasis on reducing belly bloat; test panelists lost up to 3 inches from their waists in the first 10 days, and up to 7 inches after six weeks. And that rapidly shrinking waistline translates into long-term weight loss and better overall health.

If you’re feeling suddenly gassy and bloated, here are some possible perpetrators of your prodigious protrusion. Cut them out of your daily routine, and discover more about the Zero Belly foods HERE.

And keep losing weight with the essential 10 Daily Habits That Blast Belly Fat.

How To Be On Time

Finally! You Can... Be On Time 

Do your friends tell you to meet them a half-hour earlier than you’re supposed to, fully expecting you to be late? While you might think that tardiness is simply engrained in your personality (or even genetic!), it is a habit that is possible to break.

WHY YOU NEED TO MAKE THE CHANGE

We get it, you’re busy — and it’s not like you’re intentionally losing track of the time. But being late not only causes unnecessary stress, it can give you a bad reputation, making people feel as if they can’t rely on you. And it can have negative effects on your relationships, both personal and professional. In a study published in the European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology, participants responded negatively to people who were late to a meeting, saying that they felt disrespected and that they perceived the late person as rude.

Google is developing cancer and heart attack detector

Google is developing cancer and heart attack detector


Google is aiming to diagnose cancers, impending heart attacks or strokes and other diseases, at a much earlier stage than is currently possible.

The company is working on technology that combines disease-detecting nanoparticles, which would enter a patient's bloodstream via a swallowed pill, with a wrist-worn sensor.

The idea is to identify slight changes in the person's biochemistry that could act as an early warning system.

The work is still at an early stage.

Early diagnosis is the key to treating disease. Many cancers, such as pancreatic, are detected only after they have become untreatable and fatal.

There are marked differences between cancerous and healthy tissues.

Google's ambition is to constantly monitor the blood for the unique traces of cancer, allowing diagnosis long before any physical symptoms appear.

The project is being conducted by the search company's research unit, Google X, which is dedicated to investigating potentially revolutionary innovations.
