Build Your Dream Body in Just 3 Minutes a Day
So many people assume that you have to spend hours in the gym every. single. day. in order to sculpt the perfect body. That really couldnt possibly be further from the truth. Have you ever calculated how long youre actually lifting weights during your workouts?
I timed my sets yesterday (with the help of my husband) and the results were about 1 second per rep. Since exercises generally vary between 5 and 15+ reps depending on what youre doing and what your goals are, you can see that you actually dont spend a whole lot of time lifting.

Watch that Salad!
You have decided to be good and have a salad for lunch instead of a burger and fries. Yay you!
However, before you go tap dancing off into Skinnyland, I have to share some sobering news with you. All salads aren’t good for you. In fact, in some cases, you can eat more calories and fat in a salad than you would with that burger and fries.
If you like your salad loaded with bacon bits, croutons, cheese, and lots of salad dressing, you are kidding yourself in thinking it is better for you. Oh sure, having the veggies such as lettuce and tomato are good, but take a look at how much fat and calories are in that salad dressing.
Young Children and Sports Related Brain Injury
Last year, a friend of mine had a real concern. Her grandson, aged seven, was playing football at school and got injured. This was not just any injury, though. He suffered from a concussion that has left long lasting challenges both physical and mental. This one injury has changed his life completely. He can no longer attend school regularly nor play his beloved football.
Ironically, when the injury first occurred, it didn’t seem like a big deal. That is one of the issues with brain injury, things can become worse later.
You want to limit the risk factors for brain injury in children who play sports. There are precautions that you can take.
Don’t Mess with Texas (Yoga Teachers)
Every few years, stories about possible regulation of yoga teachers and studios surface.
This time, it comes from the Great State of Texas. Recently, the Texas Workforce Commission sent out letters to various studios, asking them to become state-licensed career schools regulated by the TWC, explain why they are exempted–or shut down immediately.
That’s when the Texas Yoga Association stepped in, arguing that regulation doesn’t apply to yoga and creates undue financial and administrative hardship on studios. Train More!
