green tea and its health benefits

hello, friends!

enjoying the chilly winter weather with a hot cup of milk tea.

 

 

some benefits green tea has to offer:

polyphenols present in green tea have been shown to

"slow the onset of atherosclerosis, some forms of cancer,

and slow the onset and severity of arthritis"

and theanine can "help anti-cancer chemicals

(such as doxorubicin) kill tumor cells more specifically" (106).

green tea also contains caffeine,

which can help boost your energy and mood.

 

I love this stuff.

my drink today is green tea with honey and almond milk.

read an earlier post on how to make milk tea here.

check the Pam Hunni Fitness Store
for teas I like and recommend.

Lose Weight FAST and EASY With Dance Cardio

After a hiatus, I like to get back into working out with Dance Cardio.

I love to dance and used to do dance performances a few years ago,

so it is something I am used to and know will be lots of fun.

Dance Cardio workouts improve cardiovascular fitness and flexibility,

and if it is something you are new to,

I guarantee you will feel that wonderful soreness in the first few weeks.

This is because you use muscle groups in your body that you don't usually use

in machine exercises such as elliptical or treadmill,

or other exercises like jogging or walking.

Dance is core-intensive! If you didn't know that, well there it is!

When you dance you always have to keep your core tight

and keep your posture sexy so you will definitely see a change in your midsection!

But you are having so much fun that you won't even realize it has been

an hour and a half of exercise til you're done!

And at that point you will be wanting more because

dance is so sexy and invigorating.

The workouts I like to do include

Zumba, Rockin Body, and Just Dance 2014.

So much fun!

I would also like to join a Social Salsa class.

Perhaps in the not too distant future, I shall do that!

Do you like to do dance workouts?

Bikini Body 2014

Hello, friends! October was such a crazy month for me. It was truly difficult to make progress with my diet and exercise! But I exercised when I could and it always made me feel better. I think a great approach, when you are busy with life and it's never-ending surprises, is to keep pursuing your goal. Fit your exercise when you can so it does not build up to become an intimidating, insurmountable obstacle! When you perform aerobic exercise at least three times and resistance training once or twice a week, you are be able to maintain your levels physical fitness, preventing your previous efforts from deteriorating.

November is looking to be another busy and demanding month. I am adjusting my approach to focus more on my food intake. I have created a food log with my dream body in mind: the background is a sexy, white sand beach, which I know will motivate me to eat healthfully so I can be bikini sexy by Summer 2014!

Here is the BikiniBody2014 Daily Food Log.

Please give it a try and let me know what you think!

Have a great month and I will check back in soon!
