What is Yoga?

Noun "A Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, a part of which, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific" "Yoga involves specific types of breathing and how to maintain a certain type of "peace". Hatha is a slow paced yoga focused on breathing and meditation . This type of Yoga is great for Beginners. It relieves stress and is great as physical exercise . Vinyasa Much like Hatha, Vinyasa covers basic poses and breath-synchronized movement.  It also helps to improve strength and flexibility , tones the abdominal muscles and reduces the risk oh heart diseases , high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.

Get Michelle Obama Arms!

Hi REVEllers ! Today we will be looking at how to get Michelle Obama Arms . Perfectly toned arms are the "Holy Grail" of the female physique. When your arms have began to "wave" goodbye longer than you do ... you know you have "Bingo wings" . Who really wants saggy arms ? I actually thought about Arms because its Christmas and there are tons of parties in Jamaica and i want to ensure that we all look our best ( myself included) . Below you can find some tips and tricks to get your Arms nice and toned for the Holidays :-)

Push Up:Time to kick it Old School , break out those head and arms bands and get ready to drop and give me 10 ! Ladies, instead of doing the "Lady" push up , where you use your knees to balance and cross your legs at the ankles, try to do it the "real" way . Get down on all fours and try to do 3 sets of 10s .. c'mon don't wimp out.

Yoga : Instead of doing Yoga as a "Trend" , put those classes to good use.First, bind your hands behind your back, with your right elbow pointing to the sky and the left to the ground, and breathe. Then, switch sides. Next, broaden the collarbone as you release the chest and place your hands in reverse prayer position (behind your back), and turn your head side to side to oil the neck muscles. Clasp your hands in front and bring down and up through your arms: repeat. Stretch your arms above and then to the side; wrap your hands and wrists around and pull the arms to the side to stretch.

Superset: If you have dumbbells and don't have time to get to the Gym , get out them out and start working those biceps. Super-sets are regular sets .. on steroids. This will be the only exercise you do for at least 30 minutes. If you don't have dumbbells you can use a telephone directory or anything heavy.

When doing any form of exercise , i recommend maintaining a healthy diet and be sure to do a "Fitness Test" , just so you know the amount of exercise your body can handle.
