Facts on Yoga

Yoga has become an increasingly popular form of exercise and meditation the last several years. Many people look at yoga as just that, though. But yoga encompasses more than simply exercise and meditation. This article will "enlighten" you to some facts about yoga.

Yoga started out in the East as a spiritual practice focusing on meditation, but in the West it is normally seen as a physical practice, for the benefit of staying healthy and in shape. Hatha yoga is the variation of yoga that describes exercise. It is estimated that around sixteen million North Americans practice this form of yoga. These yoga classes focus on breathing exercises, physical exercises and meditation, which are especially beneficial for people with back, heart, or breathing problems.

In studies, yoga has helped young and old people alike who have heart problems. The studies have shown that yoga helped to lower blood pressure and increase resistance to psychological stresses. Yoga aids to improve physical flexibility, strength and endurance, which is particularly beneficial to people with back problems. The yogic breathing and meditation assists those people to better manage their back pain.

A male who practices yoga is referred to as a yogi or yogin, whereas a female who practices yoga is called a yogini. The word yoga means to yoke and it can loosely be translated as "to join" or "unite". It can also be taken to mean as "union" or a method of discipline. Yoga is believed to be made up of eight limbs: the asana (postures), pranayama (breathing), dharana (concentration), dhyani (meditation), yamas (restraints), pratyahara (withdrawal of senses), niyamas (observances) and samadhi (absorption). The goal of traditional yoga is to achieve samadhi, which is a state of inward enlightenment.

Most people who practice yoga today are involved with the limb asana. They use these physical postures to increase physical strength and flexibility, while purifying the body at the same time. These asanas or postures are known as the increasingly popular hatha yoga. The word hatha can mean forceful or willful and can be translated into "ha", which means "sun" and "tha" meaning "moon". Hatha yoga is the physical exercises and postures of yoga that allows the free-flow of energy throughout the body, as well as creating balance and inner peace and harmony.

When some people picture someone doing yoga, they have an image of a person sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, thumb and fore finger pressed together, chanting the word "Om". What is Om and what does it mean? Repeating the word Om is a mantra; it is a vibration of the universe around us. Everything has a pulse and ancient yogis created Om to represent that universal pulse. Chanting Om at the beginning and end of a yoga session brings the person a sense of connection to the entire universe and is meant to be soothing and uplifting.

Yoga is beneficial no matter how much or how little of it you can fit into your weekly schedule. It is recommended to start practicing yoga two or three times a week for an hour each time and work your way up from there if possible. However, any time that you can find for a yoga session will work too. Nothing special is required to begin a yoga session. The only things that are needed for a yoga session are your body, mind and comfortable, well-fitting workout clothes. Then you are ready for your first yoga experience!

Clearance Clothing Sales For Plus Size Women

A few years ago, the plus size women were having much difficulty in their quest to purchase affordable and fashionable clothing. Most times when they actually find something that fits, it would lack style and in plain fabrics that had no vibrancy. Nonetheless, there were some department stores that would provide special places especially for these ladies to find some of the top brand name clothing. This means they would not have to wait until the clearance sales for plus size women comes in order to look good.

Today, this industry is making billions from the plus size clothing lines and the ladies can obtain trendy and fashionable items almost everywhere. In spite of this, in case you are shopping for the small or plus size clothing at this time it can be very expensive. It is a good thing, there are options like the ones mentioned below which will allow women to save these days.

A number of retailers are currently offering what is called "buy one get one free or one at half price" promotions or perhaps something comparable. You could discover many major stores packaging various items in discounted bargains each day. In cases where you don't want so much clothing, then you could always shop with your family and friends and share the expense. If you a smart shopper, it is possible that you could acquire some really nice pieces for your wardrobe and it would not hurt your bank account.

Then, there is the internet shopping options which are exceedingly popular these days. Most individuals are usually not at ease while shopping in throngs of people and some really don't intend to shell out the money to pay the high cost for fuel. So, through shopping on the internet, they can easily spend any amount of time browsing the many offers instead of being rushed by the aggressive salespeople in the stores.

A second advantage of shopping online is the coupon codes that are available to purchase just about any item. With regard to plus size clothing, you could find big name stores offering even 30% if four items are purchased or weekly discounts with coupons. In fact, shopping online is not that effective if you are not utilizing coupon codes.

There is also the clearance sale with heavy discount prices on a number of items. If you are an ardent shopper, you will realize that the style of clothing will change in every season and when this happens the stores will offer reduced prices for the older stock. Some of the clearance sales for plus size women can provide savings of even 70% off the normal price. Additionally, think about purchasing seasonal merchandise which might not be beneficial today, but can easily end up being the fashion in the subsequent season.

So, all the plus size ladies who were finding it difficult to purchase your clothing in the past can now discover a number of ways to spend less. Look at the sales and coupon code options online and enjoy some of the best bargains. If you want, you can easily purchase some of your items in the clearance sale for next year and monitor the advertisements for the stores regularly.

12 Tips on Developing Self Discipline

It has been proven that those people who accomplish more and are respected more have the ability to delay gratification. Think about who we respect - doctors, professors, writers, black belts, successful business people. All of these have made sacrifices to get to where they are today.

I like to be self disciplined but truthfully, I am not. What I do is use tricks to keep me on track. The following are 8 tricks I use:

1 - lead me not into temptation. I simply do not have tempting stuff around me. If I want cookies in the evening, I need to either go out to a store or get out the flour. Either of which is usually enough deterrent to keep me from eating them. I have even gone so far as to not have a TV.

2 - Plan. A small amount of planning keeps me on track. This can be as simple as planning what things I want to accomplish that day to planning what health snacks I want to have on hand. I set out my workout clothes every night and have my work clothes packed in my gym bag so I head straight to the gym.

3 - Set goals. The act of setting goals starts them in motion. The more you revisit them, the more you keep on track.

4 - Track what you do. It seems odd but the simple act of logging what you do or do not do is a great way to keep you on track. This works well for diets, workouts and just about anything. What gets measured and tracked, gets done.

5 - Ask yourself "what would I like to accomplished by the time I go to bed". This simple question can keep you on task.

6 - Get a coach. This person can be a friend or a paid coach. Coaches tend to push and keep you on track. I always thought it was strange to pay someone to tell you what you already know you should do but years of working with a personal trainer has taught me that I push harder when I am coached.

7 - Increase to pain of not doing something. Simple - do not allow yourself to do what you find pleasurable until you complete the tough job.

8 - Increase the pleasure of success and make it more immediate. For example, writing an article has very little instant reward. So rewarding myself with a tea for successfully completing it can work.

9 - I use the mantra "successful people do tough things" I am a successful person so that drives me to do the tough things.

10 - Tell other people your goals. If your goal is to stop something (like smoking), your friends and enemies alike will enjoy pointing out when you are failing. If your goal is a positive like reading a book per week, tell your positive, supportive friends - they will help prod you and support you.

11 - It is all about habits. "We are the product of what we repeatedly do" - Aristotle. Habits do not even take work. You just do them. I suspect you do not even have to think to brush your teeth. You just do it. It is a habit.

12 - It is all about systems. Build systems to help you accomplish your goals. Systems might include your support, your organization, your methods of doing things efficiently.

Self discipline can be learned. You can choose to be self disciplined. It is not easy but it is what will make you a success.

Debralee Lorenzana - HOT SEXY VIDEO - Got fired from her job!

Debralee Lorenzana - This 33 years old woman got fired from her job at citybank and the reason was: She is too hot! Too sexy for citybank to handle! **************************************** DEBRALEE LORENZANA is suing Citibank Corporation for firing her because she is essentially "too hot" for the organization and thus distracting for her fellow male employees. Debralee Lorenzana said in her defense that the kind of background in which she has been brought up has taught her that women should take care of themselves and make sure they look their best whenever they go out, whether to the market or to work. So naturally she made sure she looked her best while going to work at the Citibank branch in Midtown, NYC. Unfortunately, her bosses couldn't handle it. They told her to stop wearing turtleneck sweaters, pencil skirts and high heels. Debrahlee Lorenzana is 5'5" tall and has an appealing body with awesome figure. Lorenzana's bosses told her that "as a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly 'too distracting' for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear." In a strange twist of fate, Debrahlee Lorenzana is finding herself in the news after she filed a lawsuit against Citibank for firing her allegedly because, "She's too hot." Her attractive figure has apparently caused too much "distraction" from colleagues. Debrahlee works for the Citibank branch in the Chrysler Building, New York. And now, she's filed a case on Citibank for creating a ...

Lively clashes at PMQs — Harman vs. Hague

Harriet Harman, Deputy Labour Leader, versus William Hague, Shadow Foreign Secretary, in the House of Commons on Wednesday April 2, 2008. Gordon Brown was in Russia somewhere for a meeting — I'm not sure where David Cameron was. Harman is a well-known feminist and promoter of gender equality, so it's no wonder she countered Hague's comments about Margaret Thatcher so easily. More commentary about this at: news.bbc.co.uk Also, here is the blog entry on Harriet Harman's website that Hague was referring to: blog.harrietharman.org

Goths of Summer

I saw a Goth on a sunny day in Camden, UK and it occured to me how uncomfortable it must be to wear heavy, all black clothes when it's hot out. That idea was rolling around in my head when I picked up my guitar. I ended up writing this quirky ode to self expression.

How To Exercise In the Morning Consistently

If you're one of those rare breed of humans, it's a time when you bounce out of bed prepared for exercise, feeling energetic, mentally sharp, and ready to give the world a good dose of yourself, than you don't need to read this article - just kidding!

But... If you're like most people, you get up in the morning with an "oh, no not again!" attitude and hazy vision that only a shower, black coffee, and a few hours of being upright will cure. On top of that, morning is usually a study in hurried chaos. You hit the snooze button one too many times. You try to find clothes that match. You just did a load of whites, but you can't find a pair of socks. You forgot where you put your checkbook and the keys.

Is this a time to be working out? Are you kidding, you say, absolutely out of the question. You know what? The morning hours may by the best time for a "busy person's workout." You just have to learn how to plan a morning exercise routine, and then stick with the plan. Here's your wake-up call.

Try these techniques to make time for a morning workout. Set your alarm clock to go off 15 minutes earlier. NOTE: give yourself 1-2 weeks to adjust to your new wake-up time, then set it back another 15 minutes. Now you've just added a ½ hour to your day that you can completely devote to your A.M. workout. But you must make sure you give your body time to adjust to your new schedule. Setting your alarm back 30 minutes is too much of a shock to your system.

Go to bed earlier once you're committed to morning workouts, don't expect to be able to go to bed at midnight like you used to. Put simply, if you're getting up earlier, go to bed earlier. (Some people have a problem with that.) You're better off cashing it in earlier than watching your favorite late night comedy show.

Get ready the night before. Normally, you waste a lot of time if you roll out of bed, stumble to the bathroom, take a shower, put your clothes on, then to the kitchen for some coffee and a quick eat-on-the-way-out-the-door breakfast. Once you think about your morning routine, you may find dozens of little things you could do the night before to give yourself some extra time for a morning workout. For example:

o A coffee maker with a timer you set before going to bed

o Making your lunch

o Setting your keys, checkbook, and briefcase by the door so you don't have to look for them
These will save you minutes in the morning - and it only takes a few minutes to add another set of reps or another mile to your workout.

Consider going to bed in your workout clothes! Go to bed in shorts and a T-shirt (or if it's cold, sweatpants and a T-shirt). Then, when the alarm goes off, get out of bed, jump into your shoes, and you're ready to go. While you're at it, get your work clothes ready, too. If you work out at a gym, pack them in the car so they're ready to go.

One of the best ways to stick to a morning exercise routine is to go to bed and get up the same time each day, even on weekends. Sleeping in more than an hour will throw you completely out of whack. Once your timing is down, STICK WITH IT. You will be rewarded with a body and mind that functions smoothly - almost like clockwork.

Stomach Muscle Toning - What You Need to Remember to Get a Lean, Firm Tummy

Approximately 70% of adults suffer from lazy stomach muscles. It is a sign of the years progressing and our skin and muscles start to droop. The good news is that it is easily controlled by using stomach muscle toning techniques for as long as you want to. Before starting on any stomach muscle toning exercises, a couple of things have to be considered. Mainly you need to get rid of the fat surrounding the muscles first but at the same time you need to keep up your normal intake of calories to have energy for the work out.

If we don't get rid of the fat surrounding the muscles then we will never see a lean, firm tummy as the muscles will be hidden by the layer of fat, we also have to remember that when muscles tone up they do in fact bulk out themselves. To get rid of the fat but still keep up energy flow for our exercising, we just need to change the kind of foods we eat. The aim is to make an overall body fat percentage of under 10%
- Avoid all estrogen foods
- Do not confuse healthy foods with weight loss foods
- There is a certain type of saturated fat which encourages the body to burn fat.

Once we have established an eating plan for ourselves that allows us to cut our overall body fat percentage, we can also set up a good work out. This needs to be an all over body work to make sure we still are energetic after the work out. Focusing on tummy exercises alone will only tire us out.

At this point it is worth remembering that two of the best exercises are in fact swimming and walking as these burn the most amount of fat. You can include these two exercises with specific stomach muscles exercises like crunches, sit ups and the bends. Do not forget to do a complete warm up before you start your exercise routine and also do a come down routine as well. You may be tempted at times to take the easy route and buy a tummy flattening device but trust me. I have been there and done it and they do not work. A good eating plan and all over body workout are the best stomach muscle toning techniques.

Issues - The Saturdays [Lyrics]

Lyrics: Ohhh Yeah Sometimes I Feel like Im going out of My mind, Boy the way you do me is a damn crime, But then you smile at me and its all right, With you there aint nothin' in between, Every time that I walk out the door, Tell myself I can't take it no more, Theres a part of me won't let you go Keep saying yes when my minds saying no, Chorus: Me and my heart we got issues, Dont know if I should hate you or miss you, Damn, I wish that I could resist you, Can't decide if I should leave you or kiss you. Me and my heart we got issues, issues, issues. We got issues, issues, issues. Its so wrong, boy you leave me hangin' for so long, You empty out my love until its all gone, You change the words but still it's the same song, Im tired of the melody. Change my number and throw out your clothes, But my feelings for you, it still shows, I keep building the walls round my heart, But then I see you, and it all falls apart... Chorus: Me and my heart we got issues, Dont know if I should hate you or miss you, Damn, I wish that I could resist you, Can't decide if I should leave you or kiss you. Me and my heart we got issues, issues, issues. We got issues, issues, issues. Why fight it, cant hide it Truth is I think I like it, Confusion, illusion Still I dont know which way to go. Chorus: (x2) Me and my heart we got issues, Dont know if I should hate you or miss you, Damn, I wish that I could resist you, Can't decide if I should leave you or kiss you. Me and my heart we got issues ...

Change Up Your Workout

Staying motivated once you decide to start exercising on a regular basis doesn't have to be all that difficult. All you need to do is pick out a few different kinds of activities that you enjoy and make sure that you change your workout on a regular basis.

Don't Let Boredom Set In

Relying on one kind of activity to stay fit is just a recipe for boredom. If you don't make working out enjoyable, you will find all kinds of excuses for avoiding it. Before too long, you will have gotten out of the habit of exercising regularly, and your health will suffer because of it. Exercise reduces stress, short term and chronic illnesses.

Plus, you may find that you start to gain weight easily because you are not burning enough calories during the day. If you want to keep on enjoying the foods you love, then make a point of being active. Otherwise, you will find it much more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

Many Activities Allow You To Stay Fit

If you are used to working out solo, then why don't you sign up for an exercise class to keep things interesting? With the number of options available, it shouldn't be too difficult to find something you can participate in. If you are used to a workout where you are going full tilt all the time, you may want to consider signing up for a yoga or a tai chi class. These options may not seem like a great workout, but don't be deceived. It takes control and flexibility to do these activities.

There is nothing wrong with getting a spot at the back of the room until you get used to the routine of the class. No one expects you to have all the moves or the poses down the first time you try them. As you continue through the class schedule, you will find that you are stronger and have better balance. This new-found confidence is something you can carry with you to other aspects of your life, too.

Another option if you are looking for a way to change up your workout routine is to get involved in some kind of team sport. There are several choices available to you, including baseball, soccer, basketball, and football. Playing as part of a team is not only fun, but learning how to be part of a group working toward a common goal helps you to learn how to work well with others in other situations.

Don't discount the value of adding physical activity where you can during your day. Make a habit of taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking your car a little further away from your destination, or going for a walk on your lunch break. These small changes in your routine will help you improve your level of fitness as well as help you to stay motivated to make regular physical activity a part of your lifestyle.

A Lower Ab Workout - Is it Just Sit-ups? Not Quite!

Is a lower ab workout just sit-ups? There are so many variations on the simple sit-up that can add results to your lower ab workout that you could make an entire workout routine out of just sit-up variations. Try working with these different kinds of sit-ups to improve your lower ab workout.

Tip 1: Did you know you could have sit-ups with a twist? One variation of the sit-up that will help to enhance your lower ab workout is the twisting sit-up. To do a twisting sit-up all you need to do is to twist your body to one side as you are coming up, then on your way down you can slowly straighten back to normal. For each sit-up you should alternate the side you twist to in order to get an even workout.

Tip 2: Hold it for a count of three. If you really want to strengthen your abs, then use the "hold it" version of the sit-up in your routine. When you bring your upper body up, hold it in place for a count of three, then exhale and slowly lower your body down. A few sets of those should tighten those abs.

Tip 3: Reach out and touch someone. As you are coming up in your sit-up, reach your arms out straight along side your knees. Once you have reached the top of the sit-up, hold the position for a count of three and then lower your body down. It takes ab strength to be able to do a sit-up without using your hands.

Stylish Maternity Clothes For Future Moms

You may already feel self conscious enough when you are pregnant as your body shape changes, so in order to feel good about how you look it is important to dress well. Most expectant mothers have to start wearing maternity clothing around the fourth month but that does not mean you have to abandon your sense of style.

Maternity clothing is much more than baggy sweaters and pants with elastic waist bands. Maternity clothes can be stylish, sexy, and fashionable. Today you can find a wide variety of stylish maternity clothes from top designers like Liz Lange. Her line includes designer clothes for moms to be in the same materials that are used to dress fashion models on the runways in New York and Paris. Lange is one of a growing number of designers to recognize the need for stylish maternity clothes suitable for both every day wear and special occasions.

Upscale stores like A Pea in a Pod carry designer brand name maternity clothing from celebrities like Nicole Richie and Elle MacPherson. They not only have dresses and suits for future moms, but also carry an extensive line of designer lingerie and sleepwear.

Stylish maternity clothes can be expensive. If you are willing to shop around for second hand pregnancy wear, however, you can stylish maternity clothes that are as good as new at a fraction of the original price. Purchased new, 7 for all Mankind Guenevere Secret fit designer jeans will sell for more than $200, but you can find the same jeans slightly used at discount maternity sites for as little as $25. If you need an evening gown for a special occasion you can expect to pay $250 for a new Lilly Pulitzer, but again shopping around a little or buying gently used could produce quite a bargain. When it comes to outfits for special occasions you have to figure the original purchaser probably only had reason to wear it once or twice.

If you are expecting during the hot Summer months and need something to wear around the pool or on the beach, there are several types of stylish maternity swimwear. Tankinis are extremely popular among expectant moms because they come in two pieces - a tank top for your upper half paired with a bikini bottom. You can also find a large assortment of cover ups for the pool in case hanging around in a swimsuit while pregnant makes you a bit uncomfortable.

Anniluce Chooses Technical Fabrics That Let Your Skin Breathe

Have you ever tried to go to the gym with uncomfortable clothes? I'm sure you have, and it happens to just about everyone, uncomfortable clothes tend to restrict your movements making workout routines extremely hard to accomplish. If you are a few pounds overweight tight clothes pose an extra obstacle since you have to fight against your own clothes and overcome your physical condition in order to loose a few pounds.

Professional athletes know that when it comes to clothing "mobility and special fabrics" are of the utmost importance in order for them to perform at their best. We say that fabrics are extremely important in sportswear because if you are an active individual then your body has healthy metabolism and as such it performs cooling functions whenever you work out. Your body's sweat is the automatic mechanism which is in charge of cooling our blood which goes to vital organs, once the blood has been cooled down it then travels across your body and normalizes your core temperature.

Our body's cooling system is very similar to a car's cooling system, if it gets extremely overheated the brain might send commands to our body in order to cease all activity and avoid damage to our organs, this is one of the reasons why people faint in the middle of a work out. How do clothes come in to play in such example? Imagine you went to the gym and tried to work out wearing plastic clothes, such material is sure to block your pores from getting the oxygen they need in order to cool down your blood, if you keep working out for an extended period you are very likely to suffer some sort of skin related problem at the very least; some fabrics have not been designed to be part of sportswear because they don't let your skin breathe, sure they might look cool but they are certainly not good for you.

A good example of a clothing line which keeps all of these factors in mind when manufacturing sportswear is called Anniluce, such brand designs their fabrics in such a way that it lets your skin breathe even though the clothing might be somewhat adjusted to your body curves, but either way you look at it, most sportswear has been designed to adapt to your body's shape in order to provide the least resistance during a workout routine, fibre protection with active dry is also important because it lets people feel comfortable, cool and dry.

Weight Loss - Get Your Best Body in 8 Weeks

Imagine how you'll feel 8 weeks from now when you look in the mirror and see a new you. Think it can't happen? Think again. You can do this and you will be able to fit this process into your busy schedule. Read on to find out how to get your best body in 8 weeks.

When you break it down, 8 weeks is really not a long time, it's actually 4 sets of 20 days. "They" say if you can do something for 20 days, you've created a habit. This is exactly what I'm going to help you do.

Get Organized

To be successful, you actually have to put this effort first and foremost in your life. Nothing else can matter more than taking control of your lifestyle, which will help you to get your best body. Getting organized consists of following these next steps:

The Kitchen: Clear out any foods that will cause you to trip up on your diet. Stock your cupboards and fridge with healthy options.
Workout Clothes: Pick out or purchase comfortable clothes that will allow you to move easily while you work out. This includes having shoes designed especially for your activities such as running, training or aerobic classes.
Support System: Enlist the help of your family, friends and loved ones to help you stay on track. If no one is available in your immediate area, seek support online from one of the many fitness websites.

Create a Schedule

You are well on your way to success. You have things prepped, now its time to create a schedule. First, figure out when you'll workout and write (that's correct, write) it down in your calendar. This means you'll be more likely to actually do it. Then tell everyone that is affected by this schedule AND that it's starting on (this date) and get going.

Put Together a Meal Plan

Mindset, check; schedule, check; now you need to know what you'll be eating. Believe me, the meal plan is just as important, if not more, than the other two components. You will need to eat every 3-4 hours to be successful. By planning your meals, you will be in total control of your caloric intake. Purchase some low fat cookbooks or jump online and find lots of healthy recipes that promote weight loss.

Put It in Motion

All things are in order, now all that's left is to do it. Will you join a gym, hire a personal trainer, or invest in workout videos or magazines and design your own program? Which ever works best for you, go for it. Remember, this is your journey, so choose how you will go through it.

8 weeks is a symbol for the rest of your life, once you get to the end of the first 8 weeks, you'll look and feel better than ever. Then, you'll simply start over and make a new plan to follow for the next 8 weeks.

Speed Sewing - COMMENT AND SHARE!

www.origiful.com this is the link to all the bags! 3 minutes of lightning-fast sewing and painting, and you've got an awesome shoulder bag. I make a lot of bags, mainly out of old clothes and things I find. I started doing this while I was living in Paris a couple years ago. i was doing art shows and painting a lot, but even at the most successful shows you couldn't expect more than a couple hundred people to come see your work. So I decided to start painting on clothing and bags (a perfect format) because then I could wear my art in public and have shown it to several thousand people in the course of a day. I've made about 50 bags now, and sell them in San Francisco. Hopefully it will catch on. Live art in all you do; spread it everywhere. Make masterpieces of your simple routines. www.origiful.com

Scientology: Jeff Stone's Changing Story

PirateofAnonymous has put together this look at how Supervisor Jeff Stone has railroaded an ordinance into place in Riverside County, California to try to stop protests at Scientology's desert compound near Hemet. Called "Gold," this sprawling compound is where Scientology leader David Miscavige lives and rules over the organization. The gates are constantly guarded, the iron fence covered with spikes and barbed wire to keep members of the Sea Org (Scientology's elite paramilitary unit) from leaving. Sea Org members sign a billion-year service contract, pledging to return lifetime after lifetime to work for Scientology to help "clear the planet," which means to convert everyone to Scientology. Some 2% of the population Hubbard described as Suppressive Persons. SP's should be eliminated "quietly and without sorrow," he wrote. Sea Org and staff members work about 90 hours a week and get about $50 a week in pay. They receive one day off every other week unless Scientology feels they are "downstat" (not producing as much as they did the week before) in which case they lose that privilege. They are not allowed to come and go as they please, their mail is read and their phone calls are monitored. They are often cutoff from family members by Scientology's practice of Disconnection. If a friend or family raises doubts about Scientology, they are told to handle the "Potential Trouble Source." If the member can not shut-up the person complaining, they are forced to write a ...

2 Tips To Lose Weight With Cardio Workout

In this article, I'm going to provide you with 2 simple tips how you can lose more weight with your cardio workout sessions.

For those of you who do not know what a cardio workout is - cardio workout is simply exercising on a cardio machine in the gym such as treadmills, rowing machines, upright or recumbent bikes and ellipticals. It is very common to see people who go to the gym regularly getting on these cardio machines.

Those who use these cardio machines regularly may see some weight loss results within 2 - 3 weeks. However, as time goes on, your weight loss results may slow down and eventually come to a crashing halt. Here are 2 tips you can apply immediately to stop that from happening:

Tip #01 - Do whatever you can to distract yourself during cardio workouts

I know cardio workouts can be pretty boring - imagine doing the same old thing over and over again, and you'll eventually give up doing cardio workouts because the boredom has gotten to you. One thing you can do is to distract yourself during cardio workouts - some people either listen to music, watch television, read books, or even play hand-held games just to distract themselves throughout the whole process - and before you even know it, your 60 minute cardio workout is over!

Tip #02 - Your body will start burning fewer calories over time

The first time you work on a cardio machine, you'll find that your body burns alot of calories. However, when you are doing the same type of workout over and over again - over time, your body will adapt to it and your body will start to burn fewer calories.

For example, your body may burn 400 calories when you first start your cardio workout in January. You work on the cardio machine regularly and over time, say, in March, you'll find that your body may only burn 200 calories in each cardio exercise!

The only solution here is to extend the time you work on these cardio machines - let's say in January, you may be working on it for 30 minutes. You may want to extend this to 45 minutes or even 60 minutes in March.

Follow the above 2 tips closely, and I guarantee you that you'll be able to lose weight regularly with your cardio workouts. Good luck.

Getting Your House Organized Including the Small Closets!

How can I make the small closet in my bedroom more organized and functional? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Many of us have small closets, but they can be functional as long as they are home to a reasonable number of clothing, shoes and accessories. Making use of organizing tools is important to make the most of the available space.

Getting back to our question, how can we make a small closet more organized and functional?

Well, first of all, periodic reorganization is mandatory. So no matter how organized your closet is, once in a while, we need to take some time just to reorganize. You may have accumulated more than you need in that closet.

Ways to make organizing a small closet easier include hanging hooks on the inside of the closet door for bathrobes and frequently used items. Towel racks are ideal for scarves. Hanging racks are perfect for belts. Look for items that you can use in your closet that will make everything a little more accessible. Your closet will be more organized and efficient as well.

You can use canvas boxes for folded knitwear, T-shirts, bathing suits, and workout clothes since those items are not going to wrinkle easily. You can group hanging clothes by category and color so they are ready to put on at a moment's notice. Keep empty hangers at the end of the rod for easy access.

As you have probably already observed, there are numerous closet-organizing systems, whether you buy them at a big-box store or you go to a specific organizing store. You just have to measure and analyze the size of your closet and determine what will work in your closet. Consider shelves, plastic movable chests, as well as a small chest of drawers which are very handy. Shoe racks of all kinds are on the market.

Having the right organizational tools is the most important thing that you can get for your closets. And then, of course, making it all fit in is your ultimate goal. If all else fails, there are closet-organizing companies that will come in and custom design a closet storage system for you.

Is Heavy Sweating During Exercise Good For Your Health?

Are you sweating a lot during exercise? Or even when not exercising heavily? If yes, do you think excessive sweating can be a good thing? If you answer 'yes' to the above, then there are some important points that would demand your attention when it comes to excessive sweating.

Common myth has it that by wearing rubber suits to induce more sweating during exercise such as working out at the gym or jogging, one can achieve the purpose of losing a bit extra pounds. First and foremost, the basic rule of working out is to avoid dripping sweat whenever possible, especially in hot weather. Losing heat takes energy. This energy comes from the activity of your sweat glands; millions of these glands are lying just under your skin use metabolic energy to secrete sweat. This energy is drained from the total energy you have at your command to do the work of your body. Your muscles have to share in this energy in order to be able to function properly.

When too much energy is utilised in sweating, there is not much left behind to handle other bodily functions and therefore your body will tire whole lot easier after heavy sweating regardless of reasons for such sweating. When your body is exhausted, it'll simply stop secreting, and you're in danger of a heat stroke.

Another loss of energy when you overheat is in your cardiovascular system. When the skin gets hot, the peripheral vessels leading to the skin open. The majority of your blood supply rushes to the surface of your body. This takes away the blood your muscles need. The heart will try to make up for the loss by pumping harder. The load becomes so intense that if it carries on for a prolonged period you could collapse, and conceivably die. Inducing sweat is dangerous - and it makes no contribution to fitness.

Therefore, the best and most functional fashions for sportwears are the most simple and down to earth ones - just your bare skin and some simple shorts and tank tops. Lightweight and light colors will go a long way and will make or break the feelings you have when exercising. It's even more so when you're exercising outdoors. Besides, appropriate clothing will aid your body sweat in the right manner - no more, no less.

Although sweating does help burn some calories, it's quite a dangerous way to reduce. You could end up losing your health and perhaps your life if it's too much to the extremes. That's a remote possibility, but why take your chance? The basic point to remember is this: You only have so much energy available. It takes a lot of energy to lose heat. If you waste your energy in this manner, you won't have the energy you need to perform other tasks. Therefore, away with the sweat suits and off with rubberized garments! Just let your body handle this naturally by itself without adding fuel to the fire.

According to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), sweat is the 'liquid of the heart' and therefore has to be cherished. If you're sweating heavily, you might be performing some tasks that your body isn't quite ready for - hence the sign of heavy sweating. If you sweat heavily during the night sleeping, the outer defense of your body is off and it's a sign for appropriate nutritional nourishment. Therefore, take sweating seriously and enjoy your good health all the way - no sweat about it!

There are always 2 ways to do things - the smart way and the stupid way. When it comes to treating excessive sweating, you just have to know those tricks of the trade to get results fast.

Pilates Abs Workout - The Fastest Way to Have Great Abs

Many people admire actors and models with lean abs and great bodies. In fact, they follow their lifestyle and undergo a series of gruesome exercises, like crunches and sit ups. These exercises are painful and the results are sometimes come after a long time. In the end, the process itself can cause painful backaches.

Still, there are exercises that can offer the same result, yet are easier to perform and less gruesome. The results are also astounding and can be seen immediately. Pilate Abs workout has this all. In fact, in one month, you can see the results. It is more enjoying and does not hurt or put your back at risk.

The Meaning of Pilates

When the influenza pandemic plagued Germany during World War I, Joseph Pilates introduced an exercise that can help patients recover. The exercise, later named after him, gave focus on light exercises which gave considerable results.

The only materials required to perform a Pilates exercise is loose fit exercise clothes. Other than this, no device is required. The exercise clothes allow you to perform the exercise freely since a lot of bending is needed. Tight clothes are not allowed since a lot of stretching is done. You can wear trainers but practicing pilates is best when done in bare feet. A pilates mat is also needed when performing the exercise.

Pilates exercise is primarily centered in improving the core parts of the body, like the muscles in the abdomen. The exercise also works for the back and the pelvis, which control the form and shape of the other body parts.

It is important that a Pilates abs workout be done whenever performing a workout. Pilates works with the inner muscles and works out the abdomen. Aside from this, there are many other Pilates abs exercises available.

What Makes Pilates Abs Exercises Very Popular?

More and more people are getting attracted to Pilates abs exercises because it is less painful and the results are visible within weeks. However, if Pilates exercise is not done regularly, results will likely come out later than expected.

Since the exercise targets the core muscles, your abs will develop even though you are not performing Pilates abs exercise. This means abs will develop twice faster compared to ordinary work outs.

So, if you want to have that ideal abs you so longed for, try Pilates abs workout. It's faster, easier, and gives no back pain compared to ordinary workouts. Aside from the desirable results, you'll also enjoy the exercise itself in the process.

Will I Get As Much Out of a Step Aerobics DVD?

Anyone who has ever had a gym membership knows what it feels like when they first get it. They are excited about getting new workout clothes, and they go to the gym for a few times, then they get tired of it. The drive is too far, gas is too expensive, the classes aren't at the right time, or they just don't have the time and energy to go anymore. It happens to the best of us.

With obesity at an all-time high, now is no time to not be taking care of your body, and a step aerobics DVD may be able to help you with that. We all know how much fun step aerobics classes look like, when you are watching them through the window. The problem is when you get inside and realize that you don't have quite the coordination that all those young, thin girls have. You may love step aerobics, but not enough to put yourself through that kind of humiliation.

The truth is that you can get just as much out of a step aerobics DVD as you can from a class at your local gym, and in many cases, you will actually get more out of it. Most people find that once they start doing step aerobics at home that they enjoy it so much that they do it more often than they would at their gym. In addition, because they aren't worried about how they look, they are more focused on getting a workout and less about trying to stay in sync with everyone else in the class.

With these DVDs being as affordable as they are right now, there is almost no excuse for not popping one in your DVD player, and setting up your own gym right in your own home.

Treadmill Incline Workout - 45 Minute Fat Blaster

If the same old, same old on the treadmill is getting to you, there's an easy way to spice things up. Try an interval or incline workout. Either are perfect for challenging your fitness level and chasing away boredom. The fact is, the more you change up your treadmill exercise program, the more you'll improve your fitness level.

Fitness, in essence, is pushing through your workouts even when you're not at your best. Breaking through the mental barriers is important, since you realize the effort you put in today will pay off tomorrow and beyond.

With that said, here's one of our favorite 45 minute incline workouts. It's easily adaptable for both walkers and runners, and the varying inclines will challenge even the most fit participants. Here we go....

Minutes 0 to 6: 1% incline at your warm up pace, walking or jogging.

Minutes 5 to 10: 2% incline and add at least.5 mph of speed.

Minutes 10 to 15: 3% incline at the same pace or add.5 mph. Remember the goal is to cover as much distance in the 45 minutes as you can. Week to week try to improve your overall distance.

Minutes 15 to 18: 1% incline, active recovery, reduce speed to minute 5 to 10 level.

Now we'll get into some serious incline work with rolling hills. Over the next 12 minutes, your incline will go up and down. Commit to walking or running the same pace during these 12 minutes.

Minute 18 to 19: 2% incline at your chosen pace.

Minute 19 to 20: 1% incline

Minute 20 to 21: 4% incline

Minute 21 to 22: 1% incline

Minute 22 to 23: 6% incline (are you holding on to your speed?)

Minute 23 to 24: 1% incline

Minute 24 to 25: 2% incline

Minute 25 to 26: 1% incline

Minute 26 to 27: 4% incline

Minute 27 to 28: 1% incline

Minute 28 to 29: 6% incline

Minute 29 to 30: 1% incline

Ok, now you're done with the rolling hills. Let's take an active recovery period...

Minutes 30 to 34: 1% incline, adjust speed downward if necessary. Remember, your goal is to cover as much distance in the 45 minute workout as you can.

Now, for the next six minutes, you'll alternate going fast and slow in one minute intervals.

Minutes 34 to 40: Walk (or run) at 1% incline, alternating a fast pace and slower pace each minute. That means you'll do 3 minutes fast and 3 minutes slower. The difference between the two speeds should be no greater than 1 mph. This part of the workout is extremely challenging!

Minutes 40 to 42: One last push. At 1% incline, walk or run at your fastest pace of the workout. You decide, but push yourself to cover maximum distance.

Minutes 42 to 45: Cool it down at 1% incline

Summary

This is a fantastic treadmill incline workout to do once a week. Mix this in with speed workouts or your normal running and walking routines. If you follow the workout program as shown, it is guaranteed you'll experience an enjoyable and very challenging 45 minutes!

Learning from the 'ski' look

Look at ski clothes! The whole look is there! What is meant by the 'whole look'? There are accessories, clothing and coverings for all the body. In skiing, it is the whole body that is important from the crown of the head to the throat to the waist and then to the sole of the foot. Yes the whole body is important. The aim is functional but it is to cover and clothe the body for a function, which is to ski.

Yes the body is what is important and the 'ski' style or look is an example of how a certain style is made, which is the 'ski' style. Look at ski clothes! There is the hat. There are the glasses, then the jacket sometimes with a hood, sometimes without. There are the trousers or the salopettes, whatever is preferred. And finally the boots. And you create the ski look with all these elements. How do you create the 'ski' look. Answer: with all these elements or a selection of them.

How do you create a look? How do you create any look? What can you learn from the 'ski' look? The 'ski' look is a stylised functional look. Your aim is to ski and you create the look. Or the aim is to protect you against the weather, or to cover/clothe yourself in the cold air. This is the function and in this way the 'ski' look is a functional look. And clothes are functional as well as decorative. We see this from the 'ski' look.

Stylists can work then in this way. They can think of clothes and accessories as functional and not just decorative. We can style in this way.. We can then learn from skiing clothes. Yes the nature of skiing clothes can help you in styling yourself. The 'ski' look in particular can aid you in creating other functional looks.

There are the skiing glasses for example. There are various particularly stylised glasses with black and orange rims for example. And we can say indeed that the 'ski look emphasises the eyes. The eyes have to be covered in skiing and we can say that for styling, in general, always look for the eyes. Yes always look out for the eyes when styling! There are the snow goggles too which hide the eyes and the nose too. See also the boots and the hats. Sometimes the ski just go the shin, below the knee as well as the high boots, of course. With these low boots, there is, in some way, more emphasis on the leg. You know the synthetic 'pink' boots. These boots can just go the shin. And boots don't always have to be high; they can go midway and in some way, this gives the shin area emphasis.

Poivre Blanc makes fitted jackets for skiing. Sometimes there are the distinctly pink jackets which suit the cold. Look at these jackets. Their function is to 'protect' but they can be fitted as well as with Poivre Blanc. Yes skiing clothes are definitely not 'fitting' if means 'clinging'. But there is a functional fit that adds to the whole 'ski' look. There are also the imitation fur collars, for example.

The functionality is obvious.. the design is functional. Skiing clothes are meant to be functional so buttons, for example, are obvious and the colors aim to correlate with the weather e.g. pink/black. This can be a stylistic rule: Aim to correlate with the air and atmosphere around you. This is not just 'nature'. It is the atmosphere.. The cold as with skiing. In other words, what the 'ski' look teaches is to aim to be functional.

Poivre Blanc makes particularly fitted ski jackets sometimes with embroidered detail. The outer fabrics, of course, are
waterproof and windproof. There is also the storm hood for example which is tucked into the collar. This jacket is waterproof but you can create a different functional look for cold weather. You can have a light color wool jacket with fur trim collar. Skirt and boots 'to shin' also. You can open the jacket to reveal a collarless blouse with maybe a lace effect. The jacket can be pink or black or white for example. This is a style for the cold air. It leans on the functional look. It is a functional style linked to the ski style.

Women's ski trousers are definitely functional too and not too attractive. Overall they are not fitted for women's ski trousers are for skiing and the fit does not emphasise the legs at all. The fabrics of course are waterproof, sometimes with detachable braces and gaiters. So they are not meant to be attractive but the ski trousers teaches us that trousers can emphasise a style that you want to produce. Indeed, you can say that ski trousers suit wide hipped women in particular. But you can adjust the ski trouser style by keeping the wide hip 'look' but tapering the lines to the ankle. The trousers can then cling at the ankles, if you wish. That is what we can learn from ski trousers. You can adjust ski- trousers so that they cling more!

With the high-braced trousers or salopettes, you can make another style. What about a cropped shirt to the waist with the braces over this. You can wear a high-waisted trousers with a high-collared jacket or a high waisted trousers with a styled t-shirt. With pink boots, this could emphasise the sleeveless arms as well as the neck and generally the upper part of torso. Yes this can be a style learnt from the 'ski' look. Can we learn then from the 'ski' look. In terms of style, yes, definitely!
