[Follow me @Ahdalin]

Alrighty! I once blogged about <Trick to… Sexy Butt : Squats>. In it, I have talk about the benefits of squats & a video on how to perform a proper squats.

The thing is that I have always believe in squats. Truth to be told, after a month+ of constant workout in the gym doing squats as one of the main exercises, I did notice a more perky butt!

Trick to… A Good Posture : Sitting on a Gym/Exercise Ball

Current obsession: A lovely Posture. Imagine yourself walking down the red carpet. Do you want to look like Angelina Jolie (picture left) or Miley Cyrus (picture right)?

Being more realistic here, imagine yourself going for an interview. What first impression do you want to give to your potential boss? A good posture helps you to score an impression (a good one) and you will look more confident standing tall.

There are really 101 benefits to a having a good posture and I’ll leave you to google that yourself. What I’m concern here is how to get one.

The picture says it all! So ladies, no more excuses. I can continue for another hour on what’s good with weights training but for summary sake, read my previous blog post “The Fatty Issue – Myths and Facts” to know why lifting weights is good for you.

Quote from The Fatty Issue which I think perfectly explain the meaning of the picture:

Myth 2:

Weights training add bulk.

Fact 2:

I guess most people believe that because of body builders. And I have to agree that to add bulk (in terms of muscle, not fat), the only way is by doing weights. But what most people don’t know is that for a girl, we can’t add much mass. We don’t have much mass to begin with. And more importantly, we lack the most important hormone that aids in adding mass – Testosterone. This important hormone is mainly found in guys and the lack of it in females make us difficult to become bigger when we do weights.

Current obsession: Non-flabby Arms. Flabby arms is one of women’s greatest enemy. No amount of cardio workout seems to get rid of it. Fret not, here’s push ups to the rescue!

There are many benefits to push ups. Not only does it works your arms (triceps), it also works your shoulders (deltoids) and chests (Pectoralis major and pectoralis minor). Other than that, it also trains your core muscles. But be careful there, every exercise requires one to perform it properly. So how do we perform a proper push up?

I have a crazy diet. When I get hungry, I’ll open a can of tuna and snack on it, all of it. Knowing my love for tuna, BB decided to make me a Spanish-styled Tuna Salad. It was a healthy, satisfying and most of all, yummy salad. The best part, it wasn’t hard to make at all! Great choice for snack or even a meal. Don’t know how to make? Fred not! I’m gonna share with you guys the recipe right here! =]

Motivational Figure : Jamie Eason

Status: “Oogling” at Jamie!

Previously I have mentioned Jamie Eason in one of my post on hardcore workout. I strongly believe that most, if not all of you will be wondering who she is. Born in 1976, she’s an American fitness model and had won the World’s Fittest Model competition. Her body may not be desirable for all you but her attitude towards fitness definitely is a motivation for all of us to follow.

[Quoted from an interview:]

What advice would you give to someone who wants to get started in getting fit?
For someone starting out and wanting to get in shape, my best advice would be to focus on cleaning up your diet (unprocessed foods) and eating more regularly, preferably 5 to 6 times a day, on a consistent basis.  Without a proper nutrition plan, working out alone, will not give you the results you’re after.

So what are you waiting for? Kick start your diet plan now! Need help dieting? I understand your pain so hopefully my dieting post may help. =]
