If your eyes have ever had the chance to feast on the vast, dry desert of Arizona, I have something that might surprise you. There are quite a few Arizona golf vacations that are available if you are a huge fan of the game. These Arizona golf vacations come in all shapes and sizes, meticulously tailored to your level of skill, your depth of experience, the thickness of your wallet, and your degree of interest.

There are professional Arizona golf schools for those who want to take their playing up to the next level, where training is strenuous but worth every cent of the investment. Your golf game will see some considerable improvement. Heres my testimonial. I went to one of these Arizona golf vacations, and I was able to be tutored by some serious pros and semi-pros. I will tell you that my game has never ever been better, and no, I was not moving along a beginners steep learning curve. I have been playing for 35 years!

But if you want a more easy-going Arizona golf vacation, you should really consider the luxury golf resorts. If you have never been on any Arizona golf vacations, I can promise that you will be pleasantly amazed at what you find. Not only are there golf vacations in Arizona with courses used by the pros themselves, but there are luxuries which would make even a great cruise ship proud.

Any kind of luxury you could ask for, from fine dining, to room service, to first rate caddies, to saunas and workout rooms, are all available. So even if your wife or husband is not a golf enthusiast, you may still be able to persuade them that it is the best trip around for both golfer and non-golfers in the family! And Arizona golf vacations have some of the most picturesque courses, in addition to the most playable, so it is great fun to just explore as it is to play your heart out on them.

Of course, if Arizona golf vacations are not your style, there are still plenty of great destinations in this beautiful state. If you are addicted to luxury, Phoenix has many four star hotels which will pamper you down to your every whim. Still, I personally think that golf is, hands down, the greatest game ever invented by man. For me, living in such a dry and desolate place, it is great to have Arizona golf vacations where I can really relax and unwind among such a green and grassy setting. It is like leaving the desert entirely on Aladdins magic carpet.

You know you have weighted, err, waited more than enough. So you decide to get yourself started on some weight loss programs and regimens. In all likelihood you would draft yourself with the ones that promise you sure-hit quick weight loss tips.

So you sweat and strain with your chosen weight loss program, perhaps ecstatically so at the start. Sure your body gets all aching with all your joints and knuckles cracking in epic proportions like ungreased door hinges of horror movies.

Looking at yourself in the mirror, you cringe at the sight of this blob staring back miserably at you still with the extra flabs flapping around somewhere there. You sigh in exasperation. Whatever happened to the weight loss program that promised to sculpt your body to whistle-bait shape? You scream in desperation. You know you have just been weigh-layed, err again, way-laid by some pseudo weight loss masters.

Truth is, we tend to pattern our weight loss mindset after the mentality of that of some backyard gym instructors. We torture ourselves with the age-old dictum No pain, no gain. Lets face it, while it did miracles for Rocky, it sure did get him crippled (or, killed) in the final picture.

We are no Rocky. We are ordinary human beings with not-so-ordinary day-to-day affairs. Some are multi-tasked like the housewife who has to master doing diapers in one hand, pitching copies in the other, while applying tantric massage on her hubby with her feet. All throughout she is troubled between going for weight loss surgery and taking weight loss pills.

No pain, no gain is foolishly macho and downright false. Of course, theres bound to be some discomfort when youre just getting started with your own weight loss program, and later when you start to reach out for new weight loss goals.

But theres an important difference between discomfort and pain. Learn it. Listen to your body say, Moderation in all things. Pain means injury. Pain makes you quit the weight loss program.

If you dont like your chosen program of weight loss exercises, you wont stick with it. It will become a chore, youll slack off and finally give up the entire weight loss program. Tailor your weight loss exercise to yourself, not to what others do or to some false image generated from within or without. Of course when youre just getting started, weight loss may seem like a chore. But appearances are not always reality. Realize that your body and mind would always prefer being a couch potato, and will rebel at the thought of exertion in the weight loss program, so youve got to give any form of exercise a chance to grow on you before you start analyzing whether its for you or not! The key is to turn weight loss exercise into play, then youll succeed and persist. Lack of joy makes you quit.

So spice up your own program of weight loss exercises by customizing it according to your our own weight loss needs. Variety is still the spice of weight loss. You shouldnt be satisfied just with pounding the pavement or sweating in a gym. Variety makes you learn how much youre capable of. Play around, pick and choose, experiment with your own customized personal weight loss program.

Whatever weight loss exercises you choose from the following, try to get your heart rate up to about 70 percent of your safe maximum. You can do that by using this formula: 220 minus your age equals your Maximum Safe Heart Rate. Keep it at this rate for a solid half-hour. Dont go over the 85 percent rate for more than a couple of minutes at a time. Of course, heart rate doesnt figure into strength builders such as weigh lifting.

Note : The calories-burned figures that follow are for a 110-pounder. A 154-pounder should add on another 28 percent to that number, while a 198-pounder should add 55 percent.

walking : Calories burned at 2 mph is 145 per hour; 3 mph is 235 per hour; at 5 mph is 435 per hour.

Jogging : Calories burned at 5mph is 530 per hour which is roughly about a 12-minute mile.

Jumping Rope : Calories burned is 600 calories per hour.

Swimming : At 30 yards per minute (about one lap of an Olympic-size pool), calories burned is 330 per hour.

water-walking : Calories burned is 360 per hour in a fast game.

Bicycling : Calories burned at 10 mph is 390 per hour.

Aerobic Dancing : For low impact, calories burned is 240 per hour and for moderate impact, 350 per hour.

Square Dancing : Calories burned is 350 and up way up! per hour.

Table Tennis : Calories burned is 450 hour.

Rowing : Calories burned is 600 per hour.

Cross-country skiing : Calories burned at 10 mph is 600 per hour.

Weight Lifting : Calories burned is 250 per hour.

Martial Arts : Calories burned is 620 per hour.

You really wont know what you like unless you try it. And if you havent tried it dont knock it. Try mixing gardening with walking, housework with rowing, bicycling with weight lifting, dancing with martial arts, table-tennis with cross-country skiing, outdoors with indoors, team sports with solitary sports. Without variety, humans get bored and stale. They stop reaching. Boredom makes human beings quit.
