LET'S WORKOUT ...

-

I thought to share my workout routine with you'll this morning. However, I'll like to note a few pointers. I usually love to workout in the morning but for days I find it difficult to drag myself off the bed, I end up working out in the evening after work. There is really no rule that states you must workout in the morning. Either morning or evening, the most important thing is consistency. 

 I decided morning workouts over evening because of certain benefits I observed with working out in the morning. I noticed I performed better both mentally and physically. My body's metabolic rate increased and I felt energetic all through the day. I read more about morning workouts and its benefits and I could relate how I felt to what I read. 

 Now, for those of us who ain't morning persons, It's really going to be a big challenge having to adjust to workout in the morning. You just have to try it out once and see how your body reacts to it. 
Let's get into the workout shall we?

If you did all these workouts, you would probably be all sweaty by now and panting. I'm working on making workout videos to ease participation as some may not know what each workout style entails. This would probably be on or before mid year, that way we can engage more and get results faster. Partnership in workouts is key for beginners.
Lovely day to all my amazing readers.

Shall I confess.......I did just one on each and I got really tired. Does that mean I'm not fit?. Well don't answer that. I know the answer. Pls make the videos ready. I need to see you workout too. Maybe that's the boost I need

5 Ways To Get Out Of A BAD Mood

We sometimes get into a really bad mood either after having a conversation that didn’t end well, a work meeting that ended on a sour note, a bad hair or dress day or even having a bad mood that you have no clue at the moment as to why you feel so moody or sad.  These feelings can longer and end up ruining the whole day and disrupting a great opportunity for us to live this wonderful life. After the words “Once today goes by, you can NEVER get it back” sank deep into my consciousness and even my sub-consciousness, I take the most of each day and try to enjoy this life.  So here are my 5 ways to snap out  of a bad mode quickly.  1) Acknowledge the reason that put you in a bad mood. Now this is not the time to address it. It’s just for you to recognize that you are in a bad mood and what is causing it.  2) Change environment. Stepping away from the surrounding or change of scenery is the next best step to take if you want to get out of a bad mood. Remaining at the same place can cause you

The War Within

The brown rusty leaves rolled over her legs as she sat helpless on the grass. The park was sparsely populated which made it very easy to stay unnoticed. Lifting her head, struggling to see through the heavy clog of tears welling up in her eyes. The day was getting dark, darkness has become her place of solace. She kept a steady gaze at the kids running freely, playing catch while she battled with the decision of either staying back or going home. Home? That house didn’t feel like home and it hasn’t felt like home in a long while. The mind drifted to when she was a child with little or nothing contending for space or attention in her head except for love and the ‘’can do spirit’’, which spurred her to fly without wings and run without shoes to distances that were unimaginable. She lived as free as the wind and that was the bliss of childhood which she fought to get rid of and step into adult shoes. Since stepping into those overly talked about shoes, its been filled with

ARE YOU READY 😇😇😇

Recently I just discovered something about relationships. It had not really occured to me but I started noticing it lately and I just had to address it. The way people take relationship these days is so baffling. They wake up one morning and out of nowhere they want to be in a relationship. (like it's a child's play or it's worth nothing). The way people prepare for marriage should be the way they should prepare for relationships, since its the first step to marriage. In my own opinion, marriage and relationships are basically the same thing except for the intimacy/sex (which happens in most relationships now and that does not mean it's right) and the blessings from a Priest. The other things are basically the same thing. Being in a relationship entails so much. It's not just a fling, hearts are involved, emotions, ideas, sharing of visions and goals. People in relationships virtually plan their lives together and impact each other directly or indirectly. Am ju
