IS YOUR EGO GETTING IN THE WAY?

I was recently standing backstage at a local competition watching the awards take place and I felt disappointed in the lack of sportsmanship some of the athletes showed on stage when they obviously didnít get the placing they wanted. To me the terrible looks on their faces and horrible body language said to me that their ego just took a good blow.

TO COMPETE OR CONNECT

To Compete Or Connect

I am really beginning to dislike the word COMPETE. Why do we want to compete against ourselves, placing judgment, ridicule and high expectations on our states of being?

Striving to get in the best possible shape while staying healthy both mentally and physically has been a deep exploration for me.

GETTING THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

When fitness and working out is a huge part of your life or you’re moving towards making it an essential part of your life then why not get the most out of your time and effort!

The lights are down really low, the room is illuminated by big beautiful candles, and you hear some acid jazz music is playing in the background.

GOJI BERRIES

Goji Berries - A Nutritional Super-Antioxidant High Protein Berry

Have you seen those things in the health food stores that look like shriveled up mini RED raisins? They are called "Goji Berries" and they are one of the highest antioxidant berries you can find on the planet. They may also be called "Wolfberries" and come from Asia, in places like China, Mongolia and the Himalayas, where they have been consumed and used as a medicine for thousands of years.

WHY CARDIO ALONE DOESN'T WORK

Why Cardio Alone Doesn't Work

Cardio certainly has its place in every fitness program but it should be a part of a balanced program including cardio, strength training, and a healthy diet. The key to losing body fat and keeping it off is strength training. Lean muscle is the driving force behind your metabolism and the only way to increase your metabolism or burn more calories at rest, is to increase lean muscle through strength training. For the women that are afraid to get "too bulky" from strength training that is simply a myth.
