Fitness for ALL

Do you aspire to get fit?

Often wondered what it takes and how your going to achieve it?

Keep reading and discover the secrets of success and transformation!

As the evenings draw in, it is easy to sit back and cosy up in front of the fire and hibernate.

We all have good intentions when it comes to fitness, however unless we really commit ourselves to a disciplined programme our efforts and endeavours will simply be in vain!

With a little focus on what is important – a healthy lifestyle, health and wellbeing, it is possible to achieve some truly amazing results.

Achieving and maintaining a sustainable level of fitness relies on many factors, not least an organised routine and a dedicated work out ethic – like all good things it takes effort and determination to succeed.

Remember, little steps at a time, one at a time.  Have a goal that you can work to, achieve and exceed. Never give up!  The results will come!

To help inspire and motivate, here are some simple steps to assist you with your fitness.

Use the Daily Health Journal on www.lushiouslife.co.uk to record your performance, achievements and goals for today and targets for the future.  It is critical that you listen to your body and its needs.

It’s a fact that nutrition plays a major part in your overall fitness.  It is generally considered that fitness is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. What you put into your body will ultimately determine what you get out by means of performance and results.

Look after your body:

The body needs food, for energy.

Protein to repair and rejuvenate.   A really good source of protein is Salmon Omega 3,  Eggs and Wholefoods/Grains.

Vitamins provide essential nutrients that promote health and wellbeing.

Keep the body hydrated:  WATER will keep the cells hydrated and has miraculous properties, activating internal organs, assisting with digestion and preventing high blood pressure, reducing the risk of Stroke and Heart Attack.  In addition, another key benefit is that it keeps the skin radiant, youthful and positively glowing.

A 20 minute walk a day, will provide significant health benefits, keeping the joints moving and oxygen flowing around the body.  In addition it will clear the mind and relieve stress or anxiety.

Set yourself goals,  whether your running a mile or a marathon.  Keep a record or your achievements in your journal.  On a personal note, I’ve just completed my first sub 10 minute mile (9:44) and the feeling of euphoria at achieving and smashing my target has really motivated me to continue to do better.  I’m now looking at a sub 30 minute 5k!   I will achieve this, with persistence, grit and determination!

Alternatively, why not enrol in a Yoga or Pilates class to enhance the feeling of wellbeing, improve posture and strength,  relieve stress or anxiety and improve your quality of sleep and concentration.

image

Finally, Learn how to relax, stay calm.  Allow your body to cool off before you sleep.  Sleep will help you on the road to good fitness, good eating and good health and wellbeing.

These simple steps will undoubtedly transform your overall fitness levels and your life!  Let me know how you get on.

Share your success with me,  I’d really love to hear how you get on! Good Luck!

Your Face – Are you taking good care of it!?

It’s the first thing that people see when they meet you. The first impression you create is made in seconds! How important is it to you that people like what they see?

image

Do you want people to admire the way you look and comment accordingly on a good complexion, beautiful eyes, make up and contiuring?

What if anything are you doing to get results?

Here are a few simple steps you can take that will help ensure you have a healthy, beautiful face that glows and prompts others to ask – “What’s your secret!?”

1. A clean diet, water and exercise.
2. Remove make-up
Cleansing with oil before foam wash is known as a double cleanse.
3. Cleanse daily exfoliate 2-3 times a week.
Foam cleanser is thought to be better for oily/combination skin while milk cleanser is better for dry/sensitive skin.
Dry with a towel or tap dry with fingers.
4. Balanced pH levels and use an effective Alcohol free toner. Alcohol is dehydrating. Apply with cotton wool pad or fingers.
5. Face mask: A popular mask is Egg White & Honey. Use Ice cubes on the face to reduce swelling or irritation.
6. Treatment Products in abundance. Use the lightest texture product before the heavier as that’s the order your skin absorbs things.
7. Facial exercises. Stimulate the circulation by massage, sculpting the face, capturing the warmth by cupping your face, contouring smile lines.
8. Treat delicate areas with your ring finger.
Under eye strips are effective and will help with puffiness.
9. Moisturise like mad upward strokes from the centre. Warm the product before applying and patting rather than rubbing on your face will help it absorb.
10. Dowse yourself with sunscreen. Venture out in a wide brimmed hat to prevent exposure to the sun rays.
11. Dehydration is the enemy! Facial mists are wonderful for keeping your skin moisturised all day.

Authentic Appeal – do you know the secret?

Want to know the biggest secret about your authentic appeal? It’s determined by you.

That’s right. When you find yourself attractive, luscious, gorgeous and appealing, then others will, too.

image

With that, here are six simple ways for you to connect to your natural, sensual, sexy self. In doing so, you’re guaranteed to feel more attractive in your own skin, making you naturally irresistible to those around you.

1. Get dressed up — for yourself!

Let’s be honest: many of us dress up for other people. We want to make an impression! But I encourage you to get dressed up solely for yourself.

Wear whatever makes you feel fabulous, and do it often. Feel good in your clothes, your style, and your body. This is the secret to really looking good to others.

2. Eat a decadent meal slowly and enjoy it.

Food is a sensual experience — it’s meant to be enjoyed. By taking in the smells, flavours, colours and textures of your food, the experience can become erotic.

Being present to the experience of a good meal awakens your senses to the fullness of life, and you better believe, this makes life feel incredibly sexy.

3. Go on a stroll (just because).

Take a walk, not to get somewhere, but to feel the movement of your body.

There is a natural grace and sensuality that exists when we become aware of what it feels like to be in a body. Through enjoyable movement, you will feel this grace moving through you. And this is highly attractive to others.

4. Seduce yourself by creating a romantic mood.

Many of us believe that the purpose of a mood is to share it with another person. Of course, this is really nice. But have you ever created a mood just for you? It can be just as good!

Do whatever feels romantic, sensual, or relaxing, just for you. Light candles, put on soft music, take a bath, or slowly eat a bowl of ice cream. Allow yourself to be turned on by you! Doing so turns you on to life, which is hot to everyone around you.

5. Dance

Dancing helps you feel more comfortable in your body. Not to mention it’s so fun!

Move without feeling self-conscious. It’s great practice to be more comfortable in your own skin.

6. Love your body.

Your body is unique to you, and it’s a beautiful thing. It’s the only body you’ve got! You have to love your body if you want others to love it too.

So how do you do this? You start by showering yourself — your skin, your arms, your legs, your shoulders, any part — with love, kindness, acceptance and affection.

By connecting to this energy within yourself, you’ll feel it reflected back at you from all around. So go out there and make it happen! I dare you to kick the heat up a notch.

Please leave a comment below telling us one way you’re going to connect with your sensual self this week. I look forward to hearing from you!
