It has been a good couple of weeks since I first tried working out using the Figure Trimmer Disc. I wish I could tell you that I’m into it religiously, but I am not. Good news is I am not about to give up on myself just yet. The fact that I could literally feel the stretch it does to my back every time I use it should tell me enough that it is one good workout to keep. Oh no, not keep hidden underneath my office desk but actually keep using it on a daily basis.
I did not take it seriously when I was told that barre3 is one tough workout. I have tried yoga and the 4 minute F.I.T. workout and I survived. I was pretty confident even that I was going to breeze through it. I cannot be more wrong. barre3 is one workout that seriously took care of the muscles that were otherwise dormant in my body. I actually felt particular muscle groups that were supposed to do their job in every sequence. It was tough all right but it was really fun!

The neatest thing about working online is the bunch of new things you discover as you go along. The world wide web has become like my virtual office as I dig into things that am assigned to do by my virtual employer. Whenever I do discover new things, I cannot help but stop and search more about it.
How does one keep healthy, with these parties left and right, this holiday season? I tell you it is not easy. Whenever I can at all help it, what I do is to skip lunch, if there is a party to attend to in the evening. But I make sure as well I do not starve myself, I drink kefir (a super healthy probiotic drink that I ferment myself) to kill the hunger pangs and I’m good.
The moment we start working and get real serious in the market place is the time that we welcome a surge of stress factors into our being. Although this is an integral cycle of the human cycle, there is actually a way to manage the stressors. This is precisely why employers give the privilege of vacation leave to their regular employees for them to be able to recharge and come back to the work place more efficient and effective.
Have you ever felt that your body needs some real pampering? We stress out over a whole lot of different things and when that happens, the urgency of having a good massage is just what we need. It should be noted though, that the spa place that you go to is personally recommended by a friend. Otherwise you might just be subjecting your body to further stress. Some masseurs that I have encountered kneads and effleurages a little to hard for my taste, I end up more sore than when I entered their place.
Today’s woman is wise inside out. She knows that taking care of herself goes beyond what people see on the outside. Aside from pregnancy and other reproductive health issues, women have complex health needs compared to that of men. We also know that women are more at risk when it comes to diseases like lupus or even the more usual osteoporosis.
Wellness has never been as promoted as it is now. More than just the lovely face that we see in the mirror, we should always try to keep healthy by being fit. For one, when our body is in good shape, beauty radiates from inside out. Read the rest of this entry »
A well hydrated skin will show off a radiant skin. This has been told from generation to generation, but have we really been listening? How many glasses of water do you drink every day? Eight glasses a day is the benchmark, but if you want to have better skin and seriously up your chances in fighting free radicals, drink more. Read the rest of this entry »
Summer is supposedly almost over. But guess what? The sun is high and soaring like a mad king these days, not to mention the humidity trying to suck all the energy off your body. It did not help that Manila’s summer peak (April) was bombarded with at least a couple of typhoons. The month of April practically rained right through us and now the summer heat is back with a vengeance.
Truth be told, we could use the extended summer season to our advantage. Our family leaves for Boracay in 24 days and we would rather have the sun on our backs than the rain. But with the unpredictability of our climate, there really is no way of knowing when summer will officially end.
Whether the summer will notoriously sizzle on us on our beach vacation or not, we have to be armed with the highest sun protection factor (SPF) grade sun block we could get our hands on. Read the rest of this entry »
