ALL SECRETES OF FITNESS

1.  BALANCE DIET:-

   Eating a balanced diet means choosing a wide variety of foods and drinks from all the food groups. It also means eating certain things in moderation, namely saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, refined sugar and salt . The goal is to take in nutrients you need for health at the recommended levels.

Both eating patterns emphasize fruits, vegetables and whole grains, as well as low or no-fat dairy products, and lean animal proteins. Fish is recommended at least two times per week, beans, nuts and seeds are encouraged, and unsaturated fats are always the fats of choice - like olive oil.  

   CALORIES:-

Your balanced diet must be planned at your own calorie level, and portion size is key. You want to get the most nutrients for the calories by choosing food with a high-nutrient density. Nutrient-dense foods provide substantial amounts of vitamins and minerals and relatively few calories, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, lean meat and fish, and whole grains and beans. Low-nutrient dense foods have few vitamins but lots of calories, such as candy bars, soda, donuts and onion rings.

HEALTHY MEALS:-

     
A high nutrient-dense lunch would look something like this:

2 slices whole wheat bread
Deli turkey
1 slice roasted red pepper
romaine lettuce
1 tsp mayonnaise
baby carrots
hummus
8 oz non-fat milk

A low nutrient-dense lunch would look something like this:

One ground beef hamburger patty
Two hamburger buns
Iceberg lettuce
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 slice American cheese
Order of French fries, fried in peanut oil
Large regular soda
Candy bar

 2. EXERCISE:-
  For general conditioning choose activities that use large muscle groups and which are continuous in nature. Some good examples are walking, swimming, running, aerobic dance, stair climbing machines, ski machines, treadmills, cycling or exercise bikes.
For those who are seeking to improve athletic performance, you will also want to use sport-specific training. The principle of specificity states that to become better at a particular exercise or skill, you must perform that exercise or skill. Therefore, a runner should train by running and a swimmer should train by swimming. There are, however, some great reasons to cross train, and it is recommended for all athletes. 

   BEST TIMINGS:-

General fitness can be improved in as little as 30 minutes 3 times a week. For improved conditioning, you should try to maintain 30-60 minutes of continuous exercise in your target zone each session. 

MUST DO THIS:-

It is highly recommended that you include an easy warm up of 5-10 minutes, before moving up to your training heart rate. A 5-10 minute cool down after your training may result in faster recovery and less muscle fatigue. If you stretch, this is the best time because your muscles are warm and flexible and the risk of injury is low.

According to me, "a person with balance diet and regular work out remains slim and attractive, and a person who looks attractive is attractive.".

 

Balance diet and exercise keep you attractive and young. You can look 10 years  younger or even more by keeping yourself fit and healthy i.e., by taking care of your diet and working out your fitness. keep yourself fit and stay young. be happy and satisfied.

FASHION NEVER DIES

There are many reasons for fashion trends to recycle, other than the most obvious one - that designers periodically run out of new ideas. They, like writers, can experience a momentary idea block. It isn't pretty but it happens to the best of us. However, that is by no means the primary reason behind the "everything old is new again" full circle we experience from time to time.

The first important reason behind fashion recycling is the visceral need to return to what we believe was a better time. That was never truer than it is in today. Certain eras speak to the feelings we want to recapture, like romance, stability or financial acuity.

So the return of the big shoulder in women's fashion hearkens back to the 80's when it was okay to be wealthy. It was also a time when women felt no need to apologize for their intelligence and ambition. The revitalization of the shirtdress speaks to the need for some women to return attention to hearth and home. Dresses in general speak to a woman's readiness to once again embrace her femininity. The fact is that few recycled fashion trends are based on chance alone; tired of recent fashion but frightened of where the future is going, sometimes the only comfort that can be found lies within that with which we are most familiar.FASHION

Sometimes fashion speaks to the need to redefine ourselves as human beings. Call it a rebirth of sorts. When fashion designers catch on to that need, they spin new and interesting takes on where they think women should be going. Sometimes they come up with something new and exciting, at other times they merely rework old designs. Either way, the end result is often exactly what is called for.

Fashion periodically focuses on a specific culture to provide what is known as escapist fashion. It allows those of us unfamiliar with other cultures to take a peek into that world and become a part of it through our dress. A few years back there was a heavy emphasis on oriental design. Luscious silk and satin tops and kimonos were popular because they transported women away from their normal humdrum lives. While those styles were not new at all in the Orient, they were new for much of the rest of the world and that made them a part of a fashion revolution.

Of course sometimes recycled fashion is simply a matter of fatigue. After all, how many hundreds of different looks can any designer expect to develop year after year? When it doubt, it is smart to return to what has worked well in the past. As for those of us who choose to wear these looks, we often just agree to go with the flow.

Lastly, fashion often returns to the classics simply because they are just that - classic. They are things with which we can seldom go wrong. Think about the Channel LBD (little black dress), a string of pearls, the stiletto heel, or a trench coat. Those items fit into almost any setting at any time in history and can be worn by almost anyone.

So what are some of the key items that we can expect to return in fashion now and in the near future? Some are obvious like those noted above. Others remain a little more elusive but here are some of my predictions and picks:

• Pearls. Although they are rarely out of style, today's woman chooses choosing pearls as her go to piece of jewelry. With tough times, money is short and there is little left for the luxury of gold and gemstones. Pearls however, are always in style.
• The brooch. A jewelry item that constantly recycles, it may soon become a classic. It can be worn alone on a jacket, dress, top, or coat. It can be paired with other jewelry items. It can be turned into a medallion necklace or add zing to a bracelet or clutch. Few jewelry pieces have that kind of versatility.
• Button earrings. Hoops and chandeliers come and go but button earrings are always perfect. They aren't too large or too small. They don't demand attention or detract from clothing. They come in a wide variety of materials and they are relatively inexpensive. In short, they are very nearly perfect.
• The scarf. A colorful scarf can add drama to any piece of clothing. It can accent a casual hairstyle or replace an item of jewelry. Best of all, it can be mixed and matched with almost everything in a woman's wardrobe.
• A crisp white shirt will never go out of style. While the length or cut may alter slightly from year to year, it remains a must-have piece. It looks equally good with a suit or a pair of jeans; thereby extending a woman's wardrobe tenfold.
• A leather blazer. Faux leather is even acceptable in this day and age as long as it is one of the good copies and not the cheap pleather of yesteryear. Like the white shirt, a leather jacket can be worn with almost anything. It can replace a suit jacket, jazz up a denim skirt; or make a dress appear more casual. Additionally, leather is durable and will last for many years.
• The pencil skirt. Although they weren't seen much for several years, they have definitely made a strong comeback and designers are vowing not to let them get away again. Why? Because almost every woman can wear one and it can be played up or down to suit the occasion; making it not only versatile but also fun.
• The shoe boot. Once a trend that came and went with abandon, the shoe boot is today's classic footwear item. One can be found to suit the need of virtually any woman without her having to worry about the "calf" issues. No longer granny's shoe, today's shoe boot comes in a variety of styles, colors, and fabrics, making it easy to find the perfect one for any occasion.

These just touch on a few of the "oldies but goodies" we can expect to see become fashion classics. As times change there is one thing of which we can be certain. If we hang on to that old favorite jacket or coat long enough, it will come back into style.

Do you know you can literally massage your stretch marks away? See how it is done! With minimum cost, maximum results.

Hi, this is Lubna, welcome to my website. The pictures you see here are of my customers.. 

Many say stretch marks can't be removed. This statement would seem true for many. Indeed no matter what you do (short of laser surgery) it seems almost impossible to even lighten these stubborn marks, let alone remove them.

However these pictures tell a different story. Stretch marks can be removed without having to go through laser surgery. In fact my Stretch marks removal massage method is so simple, so easy, so cheap yet so effective, you'd think it is too good to be true. But before you jump to that conclusion, please take a careful look at these pictures and read so many testimonials

. You will be convinced that this is absolutely worth trying, and you will be pleasantly surprised with the end results.

What makes this remedy work
when creams and lotions alone do not

To put it plainly, no creams or lotions when used alone can penetrate the whole depth of stretch marks, nor can they fill in the indentations caused by the broken down connective tissues. The only way to reduce or even remove stretch marks, is through aggressive skin regeneration and resurfacing.
The Stretch Marks removal massage remedy by Lubna effectively combines vigorous skin massage and precise skin exfoliation to achieve just that. Used together with certain skin lotions/creams that promote skin metabolism and regeneration, visible improvement sometimes can be seen just over night. Most people can experience the reduction of depth, width. length of the scars in just a few weeks. 
How does this method remove stretch marks

Basically, We take the principle that of the laser surgery or microdermabrasion, and apply that at home. In the 2 procedures we mentioned, the top skin layer is literally "burnt" or "sandblasted" away. The self healing of the body will trigger skin's regeneration to go into overdrive, promoting new skin growth to repair and replace the lost tissues. Layer after layer, the scar tissue is taken away, the normal skin tissues fill in, the stretch marks disappear and normal skin returns.
Without going through the extreme measures of the cosmetic surgery, my massage remedy is all natural, safe and easy to apply and completely painless.
The key is the precise balance of effective exfoliation and the skin stimulation massage, combined with proper skin lotions to calm, hydrate and nourish the skin. If you don't give enough it won’t make any difference, if too much it inhibits healing. But if you follow my proven to work method improved over and again in the past 12 years, you can see results in a matter of days, not months, some people even see results overnight! Eventually, not only will you have your normal skin back, you will have it smoother, healthier, younger looking and more supple.

It does more than just clearing stretch marks

Not only does it reduce and remove stretch marks, it also helps to:
    clear up body acne
    remove other minor scars
    tighten loose skin, reduce or remove cellulite
    smooth out uneven skin tone
    fade or even remove tattoos
    helps to burn fat, tone up body, as seen in the pictures
What exactly is it

The Stretch Marks removal massage remedy by Lubna also known as Jean's massage method has been around for 12 years now. It is basically a natural massage method that promotes skin resurfacing. There is a variety of lotions and creams you can use. When the massage is applied, even simple generic creams do wonders. To put it simply, you basically apply lotions or creams differently than you normally do. You apply a specific massage before and after. And that makes all the difference.

The remedy is all natural and safe. There's no harm nor injury nor pain for skin. It is simple and easy to apply. It does not take up much time. In general you only need to apply 2-3 times a month.  Once you reach ideal results, there is no need to keep doing it. Results start to show very early.
