Very cliched, but still effective way is to put an old picture of yourself with the “old” you, which apparently you do not like, on the refrigerator or the cabinet with sweets. So every time you reach for something to eat and think, “Well, so what? Nothing will happen to me from one piece”, you will see what you were before and you will immediately remember why you had put yourself through the diet and why it is so important to keep the results.

Another way is to make a list of everything you like in your new body, how and why it makes you feel confident and happy. Look this list regularly and remind yourself why you should not throw the entire hard work, of losing weight and getting into shape, away. Proper motivation is most important.

Try new healthy recipes. This will diversify your menu, you will find a new favorite dishes and will have less need to return to your old eating habits.

Sequence of days:

These days are the most important element of diet. Compliance with the order in which to eat, and the right combination of foods will lead to excellent results. The diet consists four days of regular meals and a day of water, every 29th days. This diet starts with a protein day continues with legumes day, carbohydrate and ending with fruit. This cycle is repeated until the 29th day, when you drink only water.

Day 1 – Protein day

Which foods belong to proteins:

Meat, cheese, eggs, dairy products, spinach, turnips, soybeans and soy products, cabbage, tomatoes, beetroot, cauliflower …

Proteins are large molecules composed of amino acids. Amino acids contained in foods of plant and animal origin. There are 8 amino acids our body needs and can not produce and therefore we must gain them from the food we eat. Proteins are needed to maintain our growth, as they actually build our body (hair, nails, muscles, etc.). They are also needed for many other important processes in the body.

Remember, do breakfast only fit fruits and what is more don’t mix them.

Day 2 – Legumes and pulses:

Which products fall into this category:

Rice, beans, green beans, peas, soybeans, corn, lentils, potatoes …

DAY 3 – Carbohydrate

Which products fall under the carbohydrate: sugar, pastry and pasta, pizza, cakes …

Carbohydrates are a source of energy for the body, improve mental work and stabilize central nervous system. If you consume more carbohydrates than your body can process glucose and glycogen, they accumulate in fatty deposits. Divide to: monosaccharide, disaccharides and polysaccharides.

Since carbohydrates are the biggest enemies of your normal weight, in this day it is necessary to adhere strictly to choose the right combination of carbohydrate.

This diet includes carbohydrate as follows:

Pizza with vegetables or fruit (without proteins). Spaghetti with tomato sauce, ketchup or sauce of mushrooms. Do not put meat in the sauces or other protein. You can consume also cakes and salty pastries, and even ice cream.

DAY 4 – Fruits

Fruits are rich in vitamins and energy, so you will feel much better and will also prevent many infectious diseases. Very soon the fruit day will become your favorite day in the daily cycle.

This day has the rule not to mix the fruits at one meal! One for breakfast, other for lunch and different one for dinner.

You can eat all kinds of fresh fruits, dry fruits, which are recommended to be pre-soaked in a little water to make them more digestible. It is desirable for them not to be covered with sugar. The consumption of compost prepared with less sugar or fruit juices is allowed. If you can’t get through the all day long only at fruits eat nuts and seeds, but in limited quantity – 25-30 grams, and they shouldn’t be salted or with caramel.

29^th day – Water day

This day is follows the fruit day, and it is every 29^th day from the beginning of the diet. Actually you will have 3 water days throughout the diet’s 90 days. The day is the worst, but you’ll feel its positive effect at least two weeks after. At the day after the water day you can lose 1.5 to 2 kg.

Additional rules to be observed during the diet:

1. You must strictly follow the sequence of days – protein day, day of pulses, carbohydrate day and fruit day.

2. Before starting your diet measure blood pressure and keep measuring it at least once a month.

3. This diet is excellent for people with high blood pressure, but if you are taking tablets for high blood pressure, do not stop them without the advice of your GP.

4. For cooking use mainly olive oil and spices.

5. Follow the hours between meals. If at a certain time you feel hunger, eat a fruit or drink a glass of water or fruit juice.

10. Never drink milk between meals, because it is considered as a meal itself.

11. Be careful not to eat salty.

12. During the diet make sure that you move more than usual, because movement is healthy.

One of the main purposes of this regime is not only to reduce weight but also to change metabolic processes, since the end of the diet we get to keep the weight that we have achieved at the end of it. If you break the diet you might not obtain the desired result.

Why is this regime so good?

• The duration is 90 days and in that time you can loose from 8 to 15 kilos.
• You can eat the normal quantities of food, but the perfect results are achieved when you lower it.
• It is not tough. The only important thing is to follow the sequence and the combinations of the different foods.

People with high blood pressure several weeks after starting the diet stop the medicines used for high blood pressure.

If you don’t loose weight the first 10 days, do not give up under any circumstances and not lose faith and will. Keep your diet until the end as it is possible to loose 5 kg at once.

The diet duration is 90 days and 90 days only. After completing is required 90 days holiday. After this, you can repeat it once more.

Do breakfast only with fruits (during the diet as well as during the break), because from them your body draws fruit sugar which is necessary for the nervous system! Remember, do not mix the fruits, one fruit is one meal!

Eating cycles:

Studies have shown that the human metabolism has 3 cycles:

• from 4.00 to 12.00h – cycle of cleaning. During this time it is preferable to consume minimal quantity of food and to drink a lot of water, tea or low fat beverages. During the diet you can eat only fruits for breakfast.

• from 12.00 to 20.00h – cycle of eating. During this cycle we can eat unlimited. It is not so important how much we’ll eat but what we’ll eat and it necessary to preserve the time between the meals.In protein day between there should be 4 hours between the meals. On the day of beans and pulses, and carbohydrate the time between meals is at least 2 hours.

  During the fruit day it is good to eat more fruits, but you should know that one type of fruit is considered as one meal. Between meals you can have from 1 to 2 hours. If you can’t go all day only at fruits you can eat nuts but they should be row and not more than 100 gr.

• from 20.00 to 4.00 – digesting cycle. During this cycle the food is digested and absorbed, so you should not eat anything. If you are very hungry and can not stand, take a piece of fruit or a glass of water, maybe tea without sugar.

Do not eat fast

One reason for the bloating is fast food. It is therefore important that each piece should be chewed carefully. Enjoy the food while you chew, because digestion begins while she is in our mouth. This way you guarantee yourself a good metabolism and flat tummy.

Eat less but often

Instead of 3 large meals a day, try to eat small amounts but more frequently. This diet not only will prevent swelling, but will help to control the hunger.

It is recommended to increase to 5-6 meals per day.

Avoid constipation

Too little consumption of fiber and fruits, and lack of exercise can lead to constipation, which will undoubtedly swollen your stomach. The recommended daily dose of fiber for women is 25 grams. You can be sure that with fruits you won’t have a problem. And about the activity – after work to walk, whether in
stores or on the way home, never mind. It is important to move around.

Do not overdo it with sodas

Undoubtedly sodas form gases which are not the best thing you can do for your figure, especially the belly. Instead, you can consume fruit juices, mineral water with lemon. If you can’t keep yourself away from your favorite carbonated drink, then limit the amount you take daily.

Be careful with beans and legumes

We all know what happens after eating beans and most of its relatives. This does not mean you have to cancel them. Just eat in moderation and if  you are on a diet – gradually integrate this type of food in it.

Do not overdo it with bubble gum

Excessive chewing gum can also lead to bubbles in the stomach. If you can not overcome the desire to chew, then replace the sweet delight with some fruit or food rich in fiber.

Pre-History Of The Diet

The diet 3 apples a day was invented by Tammy Flynn, a certified American nutritionist and personal trainer. Thanks to one of her clients, she found that taking just one apple before each meal (without changing other dietary habits) leads to permanent weight loss. Tammy and experimented with her other clients who have reached quite satisfactory and impressive results – losing weight to 8 pounds in 12 weeks.

For The Diet

Observance of it would not be a difficulty for almost anyone, even women who think of their will as not such a strong side of their character. The one rule you must follow is eating an apple before every meal. The idea is that the fibers in apples make the stomach feel full, but their sweetness is suppressing the hunger.

In addition to the diet of apples when you desire to achieve greater results, nutritionists recommend a diet that is very close to the famous Diet South Beach – a relatively low carbohydrate intake and reducing intake of saturated fat.

It is recommended that meals a day are at least three, each of which must contain some form of protein and which also contributes to the suppression of appetite and weight loss. Dietitians recommend the adoption of other fruits containing fiber.

Recommended foods
Apples, cottage cheese, yogurt, eggs, chicken, turkey meat, salmon (or other fish), oatmeal, broccoli, lettuce.

A sample menu

Breakfast

The Ambience Around

The atmosphere is one of the most important things in developing a home made spa. It will help your mind to evade the everyday stress and relax in perfect tranquility. The spas in the World are betting on dim light, spa music, many candles and aromatherapy. These are known to be the best ways of relaxing your body and mind. You can do that in your bathroom as it will muffle the noises from the surrounding. Light some candles, dim the lights and play some soft instrumental music.

Use Natural Products

To prevent any allergic reactions we recommend you to use only natural products that will give your body the perfect treatment. Natural skin products made from organic materials are perfect for this situation. They are suggested by many beauty and health professionals. To prepare great smoothing facial scrub you can just mix paste of milk with oatmeal. After that you can apply honey to make your face soft and shiny. To achieve the spa feeling you should apply the honey with fan brush.

Body Spa Treatments

Also know as the “body polish” the body scrub is a good way to exfoliate your skin from the dead skin cells and make it smooth and silky. There is a way to make this procedure at your own home without heading to the spa and it is not expensive. Just mix equal parts of olive oil and Epsom salts. Apply the mixture all over your legs, arms and feet. After the procedure rinse with warm water and it will reveal you new spa-smooth skin.

Don’t Do It Alone

You can always make your spa alone, but the best way is to invite some close friend to share the pleasure with you. Light conversations, giving each other pedicures and scalp massages can make this a unique experience. It will be much fun and enjoy.

Some Massage Tips

Using oils when you massage is one open secret you have to enjoy. Almond oil is used by many therapists. It has a deep moisturizing effect and can be used even in scalp massage because it is natural organic products and has no side effects. It feels great because of it extra slip action. Also it is a great hair conditioner and will increase the pleasure from aromatherapy.

So we can give you 5 easy ways to bring down the cholesterol to the normal levels in your blood and along with that to achieve better looking body.

First step – eat more fibers. Pick carefully your fibers, because not all of them are acting the same way and reduce cholesterol. For example a good idea is to choose soluble fiber such as natural dietary fiber from psyllium. They have great anti-cholesterol effect.

Second way is to raise your daily activities. Go out in the open for a walk more often. If you are at the office all the day long, better stay more time upright and make more moves in the room. Or you can simply go to work by foot. If you live to fare away from your work place you can walk only for a few blocks then catch some public transport.

The third thing you can do is to find a soul mate in the chosen activity. Doing something alone is not the best way to achieve good results and what is more it’s not so fun. Try to find someone who wants to do the same. This will better the results of both of you.

Be careful with the consumption of fats and sugar is the forth advice you should follow. Be informed about the amount of sugar or fats in the food which you are eating and try to avoid foods with high level of fats or natural sugar.

The fifth advice is to raise the consumption of fat acids. This will help the degradation process of the fats in your body cells. And will make your organism more resistible. Most popular sources are omega 3 salmon, sardines, and tuna and so on.

One more thing you can do is to eat 1 spoon of honey every morning on an empty stomach. This will fight the triglycerides in you which are caused by the bad cholesterol in your blood.

First day – take one lemon, squeeze it. Pour it into a tumbler and fill water brim. Add one spoon honey and drink it.
Second day – take two lemons and repeat the action from the first day.

So how do you ensure that you look your best? The first thing about beauty is not how the face is painted. It is about how much of your health is reflected on your health. For good health you need to follow a regular daily exercise plan. Exercise is an extremely important part of your health. Especially in these modern times you will have to follow a regime. Gone are the days when all kinds of work involved heavy physical labor. In fact these days we are dependent for most of our tasks on the automated machines. Quite obviously you would know why our body is losing out on health.

So how do you chalk out what daily exercise plan you want to follow? For that you will have to review your own body. Do you need to lose weight or gain weight? Do you need toning or sculpting? Work out a plan on the basis of these questions. If need be you can join a gym. The advantages of going to a gym are that you would get a fitness expert to review what exercises you need and what you do not. Moreover they would have the fitness accessories and equipment that would be necessary for your workout. On top of that you would be in a strict disciplinary plan.

If going to the gym is a hassle for you then you can start on your own exercise plan at home. In case you do need to get the fitness accessories and equipment you can simply buy them. In case getting these is not a viable option for you, you can just depend on free hand exercises. A regular exercise plan is one where you combine muscle training with cardio vascular exercises. That would set the basal metabolic rate of your body at the right pace. Obviously your body would then burn the right amount of fat and utilize the right amount as well.

Exercising right is the first step to healthy living. And healthy living is the first step to looking good. Once you exercise right, your whole body including each and every organ would get set in the right pattern. Combine that with the right eating habit and you can be assured of a definite makeover. Following a healthy living would help you feel good. In fact you would even notice a difference in yourself in the next three months. After six months you can be sure of looking your best. And you would be surprised to find how different the new you is from the old you.

This is not true, however. There is more to walking than just pleasure-walking and fast walking. There are many ways of  walking and each of your body parts benefit from some way or the other.

Here’s how you can shape your body the way you want, by walking.

1. Flat Stomach – Walk downhill with small, fast steps, stomach in, shoulders straight.
Make your steps as small as possible and  very fast.

2. Shapely Thighs – Walk uphill with long steps, without bending your knees, stomach in, shoulders straight. This will shape your hips as well.

3. Slimmer Arms – Swing your arms freely as you walk. Feel the pressure in your upper arms as you stretch your arms back and forth.

4. Slim Waistline – Walk at a medium pace with your hands held high in the air above your  head. Keep your hands straight and maintain a perfect posture as you walk.

Continued exercising in the correct way will bring you desired results. I suggest
continuing any kind of exercise regularly for at least 40 days before expecting results.

Charlie squats

Get a pair of dumbbells, the weight of which depends on your comfort and endurance. Stand with feet apart, shoulder-width distance between them and toes pointing outwards. Maintain a straight back during the whole exercise. Hold the dumbbells in front just below your waist area. Slowly bend knees until they reach a 90-degree angle, inhaling as you go down. Then pull up to original position. Exhale.

Stiff-legged dead lifts

Get a barbell. Again, the weight depends on your choosing. Starting on a standing position, grip the barbell with both hands and hold it out front just below your waist area. Maintain correct posture (back straight, bottoms tucked in and chest out) throughout the exercise. Inhale. Lower the barbell until you feel your hamstring tightening. Knees maybe bent but not beyond 15 degrees. Exhale going up to starting position.

Standing leg kickbacks

Get an elastic band about 2 meters long. Tie both ends to make a loop. Hook the loop to a pole or any support with ample resistance. Put one leg inside the loop, band should be right by the heels. Facing the support, move away until band is taut. Lift leg backward until desired tension. Count to 5 and lower leg to original position.

Try doing this simple routine at least once a day consisting of 3 sets of 10 slow repetitions each, to keep your lower body tight and fit. Because when you’re out at the mall, or just walking around in your shorts, you’ll never know who might be checking you out.

Many health clubs offer the same types of services in other facilities. Some even have guest passes to specific spas and athletic clubs around the country. Another way to stay fit while traveling is to stay at a hotel that has spas and sporting facilities. If your hotel does not offer these things, it is highly possible that the hotel itself has spa and exercise arrangements elsewhere.

To get this information, ask a clerk at the front desk and he/she is sure to provide you with the information you need. Today, many hotels have treadmills or other exercise machines. This will help keep you active and fit. It is also important to remember that most cities or towns have a YMCA or a YWCA. Search the Yellow pages and give the facility a call. When traveling, there are many opportunities you can take to stay fit.

At times, the specific location you are in might not offer any type of exercise facility or spa for you to visit. If this happens, you can be creative and turn your hotel room into your personal gym. Before you leave to go on your trip, bring along some hand weights, exercise bands, and any other type of exercise equipment that is travel friendly. With all of these items, you can easily turn your hotel room into a gym.

Use your elastic bands are a way to achieve resistance. While in your hotel room, use furniture such as chairs or beds that will help you work out. Depending on the furniture in your hotel room, you just might want to stick to body weight exercises. These are also great ways to keep your fit and in shape. To do this, find ways to combine pushups, legups, and crunches. Though these exercises do not exercise a huge range of muscles, you will still be able to work your heart and continue to build up your endurance.

When traveling, I think we all understand that working out is not the easiest thing to put into a busy time schedule. Many people who travel have very tight time frames and do not also have time to add in a complete workout session. Fortunately, there are many other ways to still exercise in order to keep your body fit. You can simply try stretching in your hotel room or taking a long walk around the hotel or town you are visiting. Many hotels today also have swimming pools. Go for a swim.

Swimming is a great exercise that is able to work the majority of the muscles in your body. You can relax and exercise at the same time. Since there are so many ways that you can work out while traveling, you shouldn’t have an excuse for not finding some way to exercise and keep your body fit. It doesn’t matter what time you work out, just find 20-30 minutes per day to do some sort of exercises, no matter the type. Even if you cannot do the exact some workout routine you are used to, switch it up a little. Any exercise is good exercise.

Foods

We have all probably experienced halitosis caused by eating certain foods. We eat a meal and then suffer with embarrassing bad breath later.

The culprits are sulfur compounds found in certain foods like garlic and cabbage. These sulfur compounds cause breathe to smell bad.

When we eat, sulfur compounds from foods are absorbed by our digestive systems. Contrary to popular belief, sulfur compounds do not cause halitosis as a result of working their way back up into the mouth from the stomach. Rather, the sulfur compounds move from the digestive system into the bloodstream where they are carried to the lungs.

Here the lungs expel the sulfur compounds from the body by way of the air that we exhale! Amazingly, many of these sulfur compounds are also excreted in sweat from the skin and in urine for hours to even days after the food containing them is eaten.

Bacteria

Chronic bad breath is constant and long standing. Although a little harder to treat, it can be treated nevertheless.

The problem starts with bacteria. Did you know that over 170 different types of bacteria live in our mouths?

These bacteria feed on bits of food left on our teeth after meals. Feasting on these “leftovers”, bacteria produce sulfur compounds which once again give breath its foul smell.

Many of these bacteria are anaerobic meaning that they can not live in the presence of oxygen. How do they live in the mouth which is exposed to oxygen every time we breathe?

These bacteria hide in places where oxygen can not reach – under plaque and food debris, in the spaces between the teeth and gums, and in the deep crevices of the tongue.

This is why proper dental care is important in eliminating bad breath. Brushing and flossing:
Remove bacteria from the mouth.

Remove the layer of plaque, food debris, and dead cells which protect bacteria from oxygen.

Saliva – Nature’s Mouthwash

A very important fact to remember when battling bad breath is that saliva is our friend. A dry mouth represents the perfect environment for odor causing bacteria.

Saliva acts as nature’s mouthwash by keeping the mouth moist, washing away bacteria, and dissolving foul smelling volatile sulfur compounds.

Conditions which reduce saliva flow or which make our mouth dry can therefore lead to halitosis. In fact, the morning breath which many people experience after a long night of sleep is caused by the reduction in saliva flow that occurs when we sleep.

People often combat chronic bad breath using mouthwash as their weapon of choice. Ironically, most commercial mouthwashes are useless in eliminating chronic bad breath. Recent studies have reported that mouthwashes only temporarily mask the odor of bad breath for as little as 10 minutes after brushing.

In fact, because they contain alcohol, mouthwashes can actually make the situation worse by drying out the mouth creating a more hospitable environment for odor causing bacteria. A new breed of mouthwashes containing chlorine dioxide, however, have proven very effective in combating bad breath.

These mouthwashes do not mask bad breath odor like conventional mouth washes. Instead, the chlorine dioxide in these rinses directly attacks the volatile sulfur compounds responsible for halitosis

Periodontal Disease

If you try:

* Staying away from certain foods that are known to cause bad breath,
* Removing bacteria and food particles by brushing your teeth and flossing,
* Removing bacteria from the tongue,
* Making sure that your mouth does not become too dry (maintaining saliva flow),

…and still have bad breath, you may want to see your dentist. Your dentist should be able to detect these periodontal pockets during a routine gum exam.

These areas are difficult to keep clean and may create a continuous supply of sulfur gases. The more areas that you have harboring these bacteria, the worse the breath.

Today’s cosmetic market offers an extremely wide range of perfumes and among the thousands of proposals it is very difficult to find your flavor. Usually the choice of perfume is intuitive. The aroma complements our image it is in harmony with nature and our temperament.

The impact of fragrances on the human brain is still insufficiently studied, but experts continue to explore this area of knowledge. It was found that aromas enhance mood, loading it with positive energy, contribute fir the removal of excess weight … and even allow women to “look” younger in the eyes of the men.

Recommendation of the researchers is to inhale these aromas before and during eating, and consciously try to enjoy the smell of the dish itself. Contrary to widespread opinion, the pleasure of the fragrance of the dish unit stimulates the brain responsible for feelings of fullness and helps you to satisfy your hunger with less food. Japanese specialists have developed specifically for the suppression of appetite perfume with the fragrance of orchids and citrus fruits. It is proven that scents of lavender, rose, mint leaves and green tea also decrease appetite and promote weight control. The combination of flavors of vanilla, banana and apple provide a feeling of satiety for hours.

The stretches, for example, are a result from changes in collagen of the skin and it is an effect from expanding beyond its borders. When collagen is not sufficient, the veins expand and form a violet-red stretch marks.  After a time your skin loses its pigmentation and stretch marks remain as white.

This can happen during pregnancy and also in drastic diet, so better avoid it. I mean the diet.

Normally increase of your weight is resulted from increasing the amount of food you eat. So, figuratively speaking, you are “flooding” your body with extra fat, sugar and preservatives.


Note that excess sugar is a major helper in the process of aging of the skin, since it attacks and preventing new collagen production.

On the other side is the rapid weight loss.

Do not be fooled that the injuries in this process are smaller. In rapid weight loss, skin may not react quickly enough and easily, and you will see the effect in the area of abdomen, thighs, arms and even face. This is why doctors and nutritionists deny fast diets and advising their patients to choose a healthy diet combined with exercises.

Fact, a healthy lifestyle, combined with appropriate sports program may make you look younger. If you add antioxidants and vitamins to a well-balanced diet and reduce the amount of sugar, you will enable your body to reduce the level of natural collagen.

The healthy diet is based on fruits and vegetables, proteins, like chiken and fish, and mainly on low fat products.

Insomnia in turn causes headaches, black circles under eyes, fatigue … and may be hundreds of symptoms you don’t even suggest.

Here are some simple ways to deal with insomnia:

1. Skip afternoon coffee and especially the one after dinner. Leave your favorite drink for the morning.

2. Try to go to bed at the same time every evening. Your body will enter into rhythm faster than you can imagine. If you manage to do that every night, in the morning you will be able to wake up even without an alarm.

3. If you had a really emotional day, you can turn to alternative medicine and take melatonin.

4. Relax from the stress. Surely this is not so easy, but try not to think about your problems before you sleep.

5. Drink warm milk before bed. Really works and the reason for its beneficial effect is called serotonin.


6. If you don’t like milk, drink herbal tea. Very suitable for this purpose is chamomile tea.

7. Take a walk before bedtime. This will charge your lungs with oxygen, and you will sleep better.

8. Do not watch movies that will cause you to think of them – horrors and drama are not suitable.

9. Sleep with a mask. Domino creates complete darkness and you will sleep more easily.

10. Try to go to bed before 12 o’clock. Between 9 and 11 is the best time for a sleep.

11. Go to bed before you are completely sleepy. If you need to clean your makeup or to take a shower, avoid it… all of these rituals will drive away your wish for a sleep.

Beach season is close and this is the perfect time to look in the mirror. How do you look in a bathing suit? If in coldest days you have lose form, now is the time to work it back.

Gaydan Gabal, owner of a fitness gym in Toronto share some basic ways on how to prepare your body for the beach:

1. Endurance training

If you really want to have and effective training, you need at least 45 minutes – 3 times a week. You can practice at home as the most appropriate exercises are: push-ups, recruitment, various squats etc.

Remember one thing – the less muscle you have, the more calories burned.

2. Balanced training

Cardio exercises are a great way to burn some calories but the best resuls gives balancing it with endurance exercises. If you want to free your body from some kilograms – do cardio exercises 3 days a week, and leave other 3 days for endurance training. You should give yourself one day rest.

3. Eat on small portions

Acceptance of small quantities of food several times a day speeds up metabolism. So rather than miss the breakfast, and eat something sustaining to lunch and make a great dinner – try to eat morning, noon and night with two snacks between meal.

4. Control calories

Eat to satiate, not to gluttony. This extra amount may impede the metabolism so that it need to process the food 2 to 3 days.

5. Constancy

If you start a diet and after three days quit, you should determine that you want see the results. It is necessary to comply with its plan – to train regularly and eat according to the program. Your body likes routine and, if use some weights, it will try to keep the results. It is important not to miss even one days.


6. Drink water

This may sound cliched as a rule, but many people do not follow it and the result is – dehydration. Drinking enough water helps your body dump toxins and prevent fluid retention and bloat. When it has a lack of water – your body stores it. Furthermore, drinking water saves calories – we often interfere thirst with hunger, and it is always better to drink a glass of water rather than sweetened drinks.

7. Do not miss meals

Omission of eating is more dangerous for your figure than to eat a sandwich. This is because these pauses between nutrition slows metabolism. So if you do not have time for breakfast – better drink a protein shake.

8. Stretch up

Many people tend to miss the stretching, even making their training consequently. Your muscles needs it in order to prevent any injuries. Furthermore, it stimulates the body circulation, which is part of maintaining good form.

9. Remove the stress

Good appearance depends not only on the figure, the emotional and mental state plays a role. Stress forces the body to produce cortisone – it prevents burning of calories. You should try breathing exercises, meditation or a walk to get rid of it.

10. Raise the bar

Once entered into rhythm, you have set the program for your body. After passing this barrier it is difficult to continue the changes. If you need more – change the program or try a larger load.

Like We said, you need only 6 weeks to see real results.

Easy, we are not suffering from a new influenza, which affects our mental activity.

Just some experts are of the opinion that it is better to do exercises for the entire torso – chest, abdomen, back, rather than individual.

According to them,local movements as abdominal presses do not have enough effect as affecting one of the most isolated muscles in the body, and even trained it may not be visible under layers of subcutaneous fat.

That is why, Rachel Kosgrouv, American fitness instructor, has developed a system of exercises, which loaded the entire torso muscles, involving that even legs and butt.


She believes that it is burning more calories, and in combination with intensive cardio exercises you are burn fat and subcutaneous. That helps you for a perfectly flat abdomen.

In the gallery are exercises you can begin with. They must be performed for about 3-4 weeks, then you have to change with new movements, which also will be presented soon.

Start each workout with a mild warming – from 3 to 5 minutes, then continue with the cardio. For the dynamic part of the program will help any way we can.
