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.

  FALLING OFF THE CLEAN EATING WAGON ~  HOW TO RELEASE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS Emotions are very powerful.  Everything you do is based on emotions.  What you crave to eat is based off of how you feel.  When you are reaching for a sugary treat what you are actually doing is reaching for a “feel good” food which will increase serotonin in the brain. Sugar will indeed help you feel better for slit a moment but only to come crashing down soon after and then you will begin craving more sugar to give you the "sugar high" your emotions are wanting.  You can train in a gym for hours daily but if you don't fuel your body with the proper nutrition needed for energy to fuel and rebuild your hard worked muscles then you might as well just do aerobics and forget dreaming of having a hard-body.  Proper nutrition and weight lifting are vital keys to transforming your physique!
