Breathe in and out while you workout






Hi everyone. Today I would like to discuss about the importance of breathing in and out during workouts. Most of us tend to hold our breaths when we exercise.Especially during weight training.  Please do not do that. It makes you feel tired and breathless by the end of just few reps. If we are tired, we then stop our workout without pushing to our max capacity and hence not burning more calories... Been there personally and when I found out about breathing in and breathing out for each rep, I am definitely more energetic and doing more reps. For an experienced personal trainer advice on this topic please click this link : Empoweryourbody 
I bet you will learn a lot from her, Alycia Kluegl . She is awesome. Personally I learned loads of info from her youtube videos... :) Please subscribe too....


take care <3

How did I lose weight?? :)



First of all losing weight does not happen overnight. I takes dedication and discipline. 

Tips :
  1. substitute high calorie foods with lower calorie foods. example I drink skim milk instead of full cream, reduced fat butter instead of margarine or full fat butter.
  2. exercise ( as for me I exercise 5-6 times a week to burn calories and build muscles)
  3. I cook my meals most of the times.
  4. I sleep at least 8 hours a day. 
  5. constantly read articles and magazines on fitness and diet
  6. got motivation from my sister and friends
  7. weigh myself as often ( though many would not agree on this point)
  8. consume loads of vege and fruits
  9. more on lean meats and high protein diet
  10. fast food once a month
  11. cheat treats ( every week) so that i would not deprive myself
  12. drink at least 6-8glasses of water per day :)
since I have lost those extra pounds, now I'm aiming on building lean muscles :)

hope this helps  :P
