Not Showering After Working Out - Don't Be The Stinky Girl!



For those of you who squeeze in a workout during your lunch break 
then return to work without showering, 
STOP IT!!!  
It's fantastic that you take the time during your busy day to dedicate to your health, 
but sharing your BO with your coworkers is just rude!

With a cost of just pennies per package and small enough to fit in most purses, 
buy yourself a package of baby wipes and quickly wipe yourself down before getting dressed. 
If you have the money for a gym membership, you have the money for wipes. 

Don't be the stinky girl!

Gym Clothes That Reek! Don't Be The Stinky Girl.


Okay ladies, here's s sensitive subject that MUST be addressed: Gym clothing that REEKS! 

The occasional whiff of funk that bombards your nose while working out at the gym is disgusting. If you're smelling it, don't look around to try to figure out where the smell is coming from - chances are it's likely YOU. If you can smell the funk, those working out closest to you probably can too.

Working out creates a lot of sweat, which creates a lot of bacteria (especially in the crotch). Most washing machines can't clean well enough to remove the smells that build up from sweat, deodorant etc., especially if the sweaty clothing is left to dry for any length of time.

The way to avoid this is simply by soaking your workout wear AND underwear immediately after a workout, or prior to washing. Soaking your clothing in warm water with a little vinegar (distilled white vinegar - a natural odor eliminator) will do the trick. 

Now you have been told and you have no excuse. Don't be the stinky girl. Do it! You'll be glad you did. 

You're welcome.

Nike - Run To You

Nike's new "Run to You" commercial is disturbing.
It starts out with two lovebirds running, presumably to meet each other.
The man overexerts himself, keels over, and ends up in the hospital,
as the woman continues to run to him.
She jogs into the hospital, they share a hug and a smile, she hops into his bed, and his heart monitor flatlines.
End of story.

And this would motivate me to buy Nike shoes how exactly?

BOOKS: You Are Your Own Gym



It's never too late to start exercising.


Book Description

From an elite Special Operations physical trainer, an ingeniously simple, rapid-results, do-anywhere program for getting into amazing shape.

As the demand for Special Operations military forces has grown over the last decade, elite trainer Mark Lauren has been at the front lines of preparing nearly one thousand soldiers, getting them lean and strong in record time. Now, for regular Joes and Janes, he shares the secret to his amazingly effective regimen—simple exercises that require nothing more than the resistance of your own bodyweight to help you reach the pinnacle of fitness and look better than ever before.

Armed with Mark Lauren’s motivation techniques, expert training, and nutrition advice, you’ll see rapid results by working out just thirty minutes a day, four times a week—whether in your living room, yard, garage, hotel room, or office. Lauren’s exercises build more metabolism-enhancing muscle than weightlifting, burn more fat than aerobics, and are safer than both, since bodyweight exercises develop balance and stability and therefore help prevent injuries. Choose your workout level—Basic, 1st Class, Master Class,and Chief Class—and get started, following the clear instructions for 125 exercises that work every muscle from your neck to your ankles. Forget about gym memberships, free weights, and infomercial contraptions. They are all poor substitutes for the world’s most advanced fitness machine, the one thing you are never without: your own body.
