Coffee Hour: How to Stay FAB for 2010--Health and Fitness Tips
Hey Ladies!---With a week into the New Year already, we have a question to ask--Have you been following your New Years Resolutions yet? We've asked around and everyone's New Years Resolution seems repetitive. We've heard, "My New Years Resolution is to lose X-amount of pounds", "...to watch what I eat", "...to hit the gym more often", "... to save Money, it's a recession dammit!"
Well with a few tips from the staff here at All Thats Fab and Carmen Amara, a natural fitness and heath guru and certified energy healer, this year should be one of your best years yet!
#1. Revamp your morning routine by staying in bed a few extra minutes to awaken your body. Treat your limbs to a morning perfect stretch by tucking your knees towards the torso and then turning your legs from right then to the left. Inhale slowly and count to seven, hold your breathe for two seconds and then exhale for seven seconds.
#2 Tune into your senses daily. Turn off electrical disturbances, take a walk outside and bond with nature. Take in the sights and smells and connect with yourself on a higher level.
#3 Prep your body each morning by drinking a glass of warm water 45 minutes before you eat breakfast. This practice detoxifies your body and jumpstarts the digestive system.
#4 Enrich your life by learning a new language, craft, sport or dance.
#5 Exercise with balance. Change up frequency, duration, speed and resistance to keep your body guessing. Make sure to always rest to avoid injury.
#6 Be natural and organic. Keep your body clean by eating and drinking natural and organic foods and liquids. Keep your thoughts and actions clean by avoiding upsetting situations and hurtful thoughts.
#7 Living in NYC there's so much to do and we understand it's extra hard to save money. For ladies night, instead of going to your favorite restaurant, have all of your friends pitch in on some groceries, and you can have a good time cooking and chatting with your friends at your own home. Not only are you saving gas money/train fair getting to your location, but you are saving money on buying an expensive meal enough for only one person, and also cooking at home is ALWAYS a healthier choice.
#8 A high percentage of New Yorkers prefer ordering delivery during their lunch hour while at work. The best thing to do is eat a healthy breakfast every morning, and always have munchies in a zip lock bag. Such as peanuts, dried fruits, crackers, etc., and it's always best to pack a healthy lunch. Remember, if you eat light snacks throughout the day you won't be so hungry therefore overstuffing yourself during lunch.
#9 Watching a program on HNL today, we learned that to stay healthy and feel better, you should increase the amount of times you have sex! YUP. Statistics show that the average American has sex once a week----so the program recommended that we should increase that amount to twice a week (or even more).
#10 TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE. Be on time to everything. When you are late to work, an event, a dinner, anything, you are at a disadvantage. People that are continuously late can't seem to grab a hold of their life. You'll see if you start organizing and being on time, you'll feel more in control. New Years Resolution should be "If I'm not 5 minutes early, then I'm late."
