Yoga Me!

I've been known, once and a while in the past, to tune into FitTv for some feel good, healthful programming. I can’t say that I'm big into those crazy-defined, rippled bodies on the expensive machines, they just seem a little to vain for me, but I am into the shows that foster a sense of mental health and wellbeing along with a fit body.

So as I was flipping though the other day, I seen a yoga show and stopped to watch. It was cool! I've had a little experience with yoga, but this show is so much more. Of course the first thing I noticed was these great locations where they were doing yoga; on the beach, on a pier with the foggy ocean and boats floating by for a backdrop, mountaintops, and even a gritty warehouse somewhere in the city. It really makes you realize how much aesthetics plays a part in getting you in the mood. Just watching those scenes float by as these beautiful women were stretching and breathing and zen-ing was really inspiring. I feel the desire to want to stretch and bend and move my body like they do. They’re amazing! It makes me realize what a perfect body really is; not a 36-34-36 measurement, but a body that is in perfect harmony with the mind. One that can stretch and bend and adapt to its environment. It was inspiring and you should check it out.

Working Out

Your outlook on life is a direct reflection of how much you like yourself.

And working out and excersing can really help with our self view I think.  After a workout, I feel really good, so much so that I just want to meet up with friends and party!

A daily hit of athletic-induced endorphins gives you the power to make better decisions and offsets stress.

Working out also makes chicks like us more, because we're shedding that beer belly and developing some muscles!  One thing girls can't stand is laziness, and being outta shape implies laziness.

Simply put, working out makes us like life more, so just do it!!!
