8 Fat Blasting Tips That Work Living a LivFit Lifestyle is an awesome way to live! Who doesn’t want to look and feel their best physically, spiritually, and emotionally—living fit will help you do just that! To become your best-self begins from within. You must first come to love and believe in yourself. We all have our ups and downs, but it's when we get stuck in an "emotional rut" that it seems life tends to run amuck and the scale tends to go up or come to a complete halt.

Living Your Life’s Calling

Living Your Life’s Calling Each of us was born to fulfil a calling in life, unique and individualized, just as we are each individual in nature. When we embrace our truth and resonate with our divine power within, we are able to feel and harken to the still, small voice that whispers to us, which is leading us to understand what it is that God put us on earth to do.  Living your life’s calling is what your destiny is made of, it is the thread that weaves the beauty of your life’s tapestry.

6 Tips to Lose Weight after Thanksgiving

6 Tips to Lose Weight after Thanksgiving  If you're like me, you most likely woke up to having to deal with post-Thanksgiving "damage control"- not fun! Getting back on track with your fitness and weight loss goals after a festive holiday of overeating with family and friends can be overwhelming for some people. If you ate too much yesterday don’t worry you can regroup and get back to exercising and eating clean! Typically at social gatherings there are plenty of high-calorie foods and desserts to tempt and tantalize your taste buds. Often self-discipline and control seem to go out the window the moment you step through the door. If you overindulged during Thanksgiving, don’t despair, there is nothing wrong with indulging now and again; in fact, it’s good for the body and mind to have a high-calorie meal after weeks of eating clean.

The Joy of Thanksgiving

The Joy of Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays! This time of year, the energy in the air is filled with thanksgiving as people from all walks of life are thankful for the many blessings in their lives. I too am extremely grateful...

Thanksgiving is a beautiful reminder to reflect and appreciate the infinite blessings received daily. It opens our hearts and minds to that which is plentiful in our lives and brings a sense of peace and gratitude. Having an attitude of gratitude is the foundation to happiness and fulfillment.

Using the Power of the Art of Visualizing: to Manifest Your Dreams

Using the Power of the Art of Visualizing: to Manifest Your Dreams “Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.” –James Allen It’s empowering to know that we can literally alter our lives  and physiques  by  visualizing our desires often.  I've used the Art of Visualizing for years, it always works in helping me achieve my goals and dreams.  Your mind is the key that unlocks the door to success or failure. What you believe about yourself is a self-prophesy.  Think about a time when you just knew you could do something that might have seemed nearly impossible to someone else. As you believed in your ability to achieve, you moved forward diligently to accomplish your task at hand.

How to Sculpt Sexy Legs and a Tight Tush

How to Sculpt Sexy Legs and a Tight Tush Doing lower body training is tough but highly worth every bit of energy used to blast through a tough lower body workout. To get lean legs and behind takes motivation, dedication and determination to achieve the results you desire.  Who wants to jiggle in their swimsuit as they walk along the beach or pool, I sure don’t! For starters, plan on training Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to get your legs and glutes in shape faster, you can alternate lower body training days each new week as well if you'd like.  Working legs take a lot of energy to push through a good, hard workout, the energy used is that of your brown fat. When you dig deep for added strength while doing that last rep, your body will go for deep stored fat much like it does with doing HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training). Doing so burns more calories during and after you train.
