Tone up in 10!

  Using my 10 minute toning routine will reshape your muscles without bulking up.  I have figured out the secret to what it takes to tone your body at any age with just as little as 10 mins a day.

    I have lost weight and then put it back on just to prove that my technique works.  For men and women the key to getting a lean and well functioning body is finding the time and seeing the results to keep you motivated to sticking with your new lifestyle movement approach.  Well, search no more and follow me as I take you through a fast blast of 10 mins a day.  If you have more time then repeat the 10 mins and so on.  That is the beauty of it.  Do at least 10 mins before eating breakfast and if its not breakfast then get it in before lunch or dinner or better yet for faster results do my routine 2-3 times a day.

First thing use your cell phone as a timer.  Set it to 10 mins.

10 mins A DAY!

3. Side Leg Lifts 30 count each side
With triceps extensions with band.  Hold the band with tension increased on one side and extend tricep to the side that is opposite of the leg that you are lifting to the sides.  This works your legs, triceps and your abdominal muscles and stability training.

4. Back Lunge with Bicep Curl 30 count on each sideLunge back on one leg while performing a bicep curl on the opposite side (the fitness band will be held down with the opposite foot).

5. Side Bent Knee Lift with Lat pull down 30 each leg

Stop wasting valuable time

   Life can be exciting, enticing and full of fun.  But one can not lose sight of daily rituals for keeping up the pace of having a well balanced organized life.  

   In order to have fun we must being earning that right and that means working and being accountable.  And for a lot of people it's about not living beyond their means by spending time and money on "stuff" that is filling a void in their lives for self love, acceptance, beauty and basically just acceptance from others.

   It's not about where you live or what you have. It's about YOU! The constant variable in your life is you.  You are the constant no matter where you choose to live or how you choose to live.  It's about you and what you choose to do with your life.

   Think about the money each person would save if they cut out the extras non necessities expenditures and the benefits of being more active. The mental satisfaction of accomplishing daily tasks for their own well-being and just an overall sense of having a "can do" list to accomplish each day would make them rich in time because time is the true money maker in the world.

•  Time is needed for every action we take.  Time is invaluable, expendable and can be wasted.  Because it has no physical touch to it.  It is taken for granted.  But I think successful people know that aspect of about time and never waste valuable time!

 For example:

•   Laundry-"can do"

            Pick two days a week, two hours each day that you choose.  Do something enjoyable while the laundry is being washed and dried. Work out for 10-30 mins. Or go for a walk!!!

• Cleaning- "can do"

        The bathroom, kitchen, vacuum, dust, refrigerator-Weekly maintenance.  Designate cleaning one room a day. By the end of the week you will have a clean house.

•  Grocery shopping- "can do"

        In Europe everyone goes to the market everyday. LOVE that!! You only purchase what you can carry.  Great way to get daily fresh groceries and exercise in by carrying the groceries and walking with resistance all at the same time.

•  Washing your car- "can do"

       Clean your car once a week and hand wash it yourself.  Don't have a hose then use two spray bottles. One with a little tea tree oil and water and one with just plain water.  Clean the inside and outside.  Your vehicle will smell clean and look clean and so will you.

 My advise is just that-advice.  I don't focus on "stuff".  Life begins to be simple when its about you and getting your essential needs met everyday. So go out there and get something done yourself and feel how rewarding it can be from the inside out!

Free Radicals & Your Skin

Aging is prompted by the influx of free radicals throughout ones lifetime.  The result is that the cell membranes of the epithelial cells are compromised, consequently making nutrition of the skin a more serious anti-aging action on a daily basis.

Our bodies can handle free radical invasion under normal circumstances.  But there is nothing normal about the everyday life that most of us live these days.  Stress, poor food choices, lack of organic and pesticide free foods, diminishing ozone layer and misuse of products are compromising the body's ability to defend itself against free radicals.

 

The question that I want to answer for all of my readers is.... how does free radical demise happen within our cells?  Here is the quick explaination how it happens and why what you put into your bodies CAN really help prevent and slow down the aging process.

A free radical is an atom of oxygen with seven electrons.  Oxygen typically has 8 electrons.  When oxygen loses one of its electrons it will try and replace it and steal an electron from the cellular membrane.  Thus producing a free radical, which then starts a chain reaction of free radicalism.  BUT it can be prevented from happening if antioxidants are present to neutralize the oxygen atom in the first place.

IMPORTANT: Endogenous and Exogenous Antioxidants

Endogenous antioxidants: are proteins (enzymes) that are dependent on co-factors like copper, iron,  zinc, magnesium and selenium to poses a protection against free radical consumption.

Exogenous antioxidants: come from food and must be taken in on a daily basis.

It is important, though, to explain the "why" behind an action to make it more appealing for one to take the action.  That is why I tell my clients that their diet is just as important to their skin health as the products that go on it.  It's why I developed Nanomarine-5, the proprietary ingredient in all my face products.  The key to health is prevention and correction by the body on a daily basis.  It's not about "catching" up for bad behavior.  The better approach is to treat the body like a laboratory and understand that it's science that keeps us healthy not wishful thinking or luck. 

RICH ANTIOXIDANTS:

• Rasberries 
• Chia Seeds 
• Wheatgrass
• Kale 
• Sweet Potatoes 
• Grapefruit
• Avocado
