5 Reasons You Can't Do a Headstand Yet →
liliezencoach:
You’re scared of falling: This is a very real fear and a valid reason for not even attempting headstand, but how will you know whether or not you can balance upside down if you never give it a chance? There are many ways you can do a headstand and avoid the risk of falling. Try one of these: do headstand in front of a wall, have someone spot you, slowly lift into headstand...

lets-get-thin-now:
1. Catch the running bug. You’ll continue to burn fat after your jog: People who run for at least four hours a week melt more calories than non-runners, even when they’re not running, a Yale University School of Medicine study reports.
2. Crank it up early. Working out harder during the first half of your workout and taking it easier during the second burns up to 23...

How to Increase Flexibility:
Warm up for 10 or 20 minutes with cardio exercise before you begin to stretch. Stretching without warming up not only promotes injury, it also has very little benefit and will not help you to increase flexibility.
Practice your stretches first thing in the morning after warm up whenever possible. The early morning hours are when the muscles of the body are most receptive to change. Additionally,...

Raw Living Foods: Why Eat Raw Foods? →
sun-hawk:

Anonymous asked: For this past month, I have been vegetarian for my health and animals but I really haven't been doing so well. For my new year's resolutions I want to eat healthier and do yoga much more than I am now. The problem is, I have a busy schedule and I don't have time for it. How can I fit it into my schedule and eat healthier?
I'm thinking of adding a Q&A page.
I’m going to add some yoga stuff in there, but I’m not sure what all I should put. I sort of want to include both personal and non-personal questions. I sometimes get questions about me and yoga, but I don’t know what else I’d want to add… at all. It doesn’t even necessarily have to be something that you, personally, are interested in, but maybe you know what...

Islands Cafe →
There’s this somewhat-new little restaurant in my town and it’s super good! I had their veggie burgers on whole wheat, shared a quesadilla, and white rice with my boyfriend these last 2 days (I know, 2 days in a row… but it was all healthy), and they are so good. He says it’s the best veggie burger he’s ever had. If any of you live in Southern California in the Inland...

Uncovering Your Hidden Abs →
healthyisfabulous:
When people want to tighten their midsection, they typically hit the floor to do endless crunches. What they don’t know is that unless you are already fairly trim, crunches may be a waste of time. It is a commonmisconception that the burn you get in your midsection from doing crunches would help reduce belly fat and create a flat tummy. Many of the most respected fitness...
