2 Weeks 49 ABSolutely Exercises

No comments :
The good news is that you can significantly improve your abs (or any part of your body) in just two weeks. The bad news is that it doesn’t come without sacrifice, but you already knew that, right? Theodore Roosevelt said it best when he said, “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty…” We get it Teddy, no pain-no gain.

I never gave diet much thought, actually that’s a lie, every woman has given diet much thought! What I mean is that I never really took into account how a single meal could make me look significantly better or worse until I was talking to my good friend, nationally ranked figure competitor, Tara Zito. She was describing how after her “cheat” meal she looks 3 months pregnant. If one meal could convert her perfect physique to second trimester roundness, then what effect is one meal having on me? The truth is a lot, especially if that meal is heavy with salt and carbohydrates.

Get It Right, Get It Tight: Burpee

No comments :
Burpees are just as effective as they are difficult, which makes us not want to include them in our routine. However, this move is great for both strength training and aerobics. If you’re looking to lose weight or to tone, this move is a great addition to your routine!

Step 1: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your hands tucked behind your head with elbows out.

Step 2: Start with a quick jump then push your hips back, bend your knees and drop down, placing your hands on the floor in front of you.

5 Money-Saving Swaps for the Newly Frugal

No comments :

My philosophy on frugality has always been that slow and steady wins the race. This is especially true if you’re in the beginning stages of trying to live a more frugal life. Radically changing your lifestyle overnight may actually backfire in the long run by making you feel deprived, and therefore causing you to quit before you’ve had the chance to reap the benefits of living frugally. Incorporating small, doable changes into your lifestyle is a simple and non-scary way to ease yourself into the frugal waters. These five frugal swaps help you do just that.
