I know you love it ....

...when I share motivating tips with you. Honestly, nothing motivates me more than success/successful stories and motivating tips. Regardless of the subject, we all need a "push" sometimes.  I have always been active, but in the last couple of months I started taking working out seriously. I go to the gym 4-5 times a week, and I have a designated day for legs/butt, arm/chest, full body and of course abs. I have never really had a program before, I used to go to the gym, do whatever feels right and leave.  Today I will share my work out with you, keep in mind it does change, sometimes I add new workouts, sometimes I take classes, and sometimes I get trainers who show me something more effective. Before I continue with exercises, I want to tell you that I'm not alone on this fitness journey, and if you have someone who will motivate you and pick you up, get in pairs or groups, makes it much easier to reach your goal.  We also started a fitness page on instagram and ...

Hiking Trails...

This summer I had a lot of free time and I dedicated a lot of it to exploring the surrounding areas. I love hiking and seeing what nature has to offer. I went to a few hikes in Malibu beach, Laguna Beach and even Arizona.  The hikes I did were not hard, so if you're a beginner, those would be perfect. So here is the first one. This hike was in Malibu.  Its called E scondido Falls and in case you want to explore yourself the  address is Escondido Canyon Trail  Malibu, CA 90265. This hike was fairly easy however, it requires some climbing uphill and a little rock climbing.  The next one is This one is called Malibu Rock Pool and the address for this one is  1925 Las Virgenes Rd Agoura ,  CA   91376 The second hike was a little easier to get to the water. It is about a mile from the road and the path is easy.  Now we are going to go south, to Laguna Beach. The First hike...

Yoga and Pilates

I'm not a fan of hot yoga. In fact, I hate it. I will not do it if you offer me a free membership. However, I love regular Yoga and Pilates. Yesterday I took a yoga class and today I spiced it up with Pilates. I like Pilates a little bit more than yoga because it's a little faster and a lot of abs! <3 As you all know, I'm working on my flexibility right now, so yoga is very beneficial. I want to share a few pictures with you of my yoga accomplishments. Im very proud of my skill and it is a lot easier to do than it looks. I start from downward dog, but on my elbows (as you can see) and walk my hands to my feet as close as I can. It's all abs so no need to push yourself up, slowly lift your legs with the strength of your core and find your balance in the air. Try next to a wall at first and see how well you can hold your balance up and continue practicing until you can stand on your own! Here is a video I just made at home, sorry ...
