Hot Fitness Tip

     

Asanas like gatyatmak meru vakrasana (dynamic spinal twist), chakki chalana (churning the mill), and nauka sanchalana (rowing the boat), massage the abdominal organs and help mobilize the extra fat tissue stored around them. These asanas can be a useful tool in the battle of the bulge. Surya Namskara is a complete practice in itself because it includes asana, pranayama, mantra and meditation. This practice has a unique influence on the endocrine and nervous system, helping to correct metabolic imbalances that cause and perpetuate obesity.





Words of Inspiration

     

Holding the Right Vision


Sometimes we focus on the wrong thing. We look at what we are running away from, instead of what we desire to move toward. This is true of the visions we hold for others, and also the vision we have for ourselves.

You may want to escape your dingy apartment, workout routine, broken down car and stack of overdue bills. But the way to do that is to hold a vision of your new home, a healthy body, hot ride, and abundant bank account.

Take some time today to fine tune your vision. Leave behind the thoughts of lack, and embrace the wonderful future you want to manifest.


Success Quote

   

Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them -- a desire, a dream, a vision.
