Being Busy/Pushup Challenge

The last week and up coming weeks is busy for me, therefore, I will probably not post as much as I usually do. Having said that, I will post challenges each week in an effort to keep everyone active.

I was speaking with a friend and she pointed out her arm to me, the complain was that they were not as firm as they use to be. I mentioned pushups as a solution to the problem. Pushups can be a bit challenging at first, but the benefits of doing them is worth every ounce of effort. They will improve the appearance of your arms, chest, back, abs and more. For those who may not be able to do a full pushup can start with a modified position. To modify a pushup you use your knees instead of pushing from your toes.

Challenge

This week I want to challenge you to do 50-100 pushups each day, or every other day if you are sore. So, that may sound a lot, but I am not asking for that number in one session, instead they can be broken up into hourly numbers, for instance if you are doing 50 start with 5 each hour until you reach your goal.

Good luck to everyone, stay healthy and get your pushup on.

Starting Over

My cleanse is now completely over, and I feel great. I expect that if you participated in the cleanse you enjoyed it, never mind the challenges it posed.

Now what? after a cleanse, some of us may jump right back into our old eating habit, which by the way would make the cleansing process useless. Now that we've cleanse it is important to adopt habits that would keep our bodies functioning in the way it should. Avoiding foods that contaminate our bodies should be avoided, such things as fried foods, excessive alcohol etc needs to be avoided as much as possible. Of course no one expects us to give them up entirely, however, taking the initiative and making a few changes is important. A cleanse is so important, as it rids our bodies of toxins, it helps with our bowel functioning, bloating caused by gas, it helps with weight loss and the list goes on, but the most important result to me is knowing and feeling healthier after.

Challenge

This week in remembrance of our cleanse, we will make a change to our eating habit. We are saying No to Fried Foods throughout this week. Steam, broil, bake whatever you do no frying.

Please leave a comment, share your thoughts and experiences, and stay healthy.
