Practiced those this mroning. I have to be honest with you guys, those exercises WORK! Obliques are a bit tricky to practice and get them going but as soon as you start feeling that burn, it will not go away. You know what you got to do, so do it!

Is it maybe the time to re-evaluate your diet? Remember... eating clean and healthy foods, not only helps your muscles grow but it can also boost up your immune system as well. I personally happen to know that from experience. Even the slight change in your daily routine and diet can make you feel like a completely different person. Make sure to keep the energy going ladies and gents. Have a look at these 7 foods and see if you are lacking any nutrients! Good luck and keep up the good work! ;)

Great moves for mobility! Don't forget them every time you exercise. Pay attention to your wrists as well. They are vital and can sustain a lot of pressure during your workouts, even without you noticing. So take good care of them! Train well!

So... Are you a morning person, or a night owl?
I have been asked the same question myself many times and the answer I always used to give is: 'I am a morning person indeed'. Although things have changed a bit recently!

However, I do believe it is good and beneficial to exercise in the morning. Whether that is a little circuit drill in the comfort of your room or a nice long/short run outside, to get your day started.

For example, it has been scientifically proven that morning hours offer better results since some of your hormones, most importantly, testosterone, are higher in your body. Testosterone, is known to naturally help build muscle mass. Therefore, make sure to take advantage of those early hours in the morning if you want to build a stronger, good looking body!

Some may refuse to wake up earlier however, in order to spend some of their precious time working out. Which is really common and totally understandable. There are times, when I wake in the morning and find myself completely incapable of exercising, not because I don't want to, but because my body simply is not yet ready for a workout. Although, there is always the fear of me losing the chance to do my workout during the day, due to other responsibilities need taken care of.

There are a lot more benefits for training in the morning, have a little read at the article and find out which one/s, are better suited for you! I personally like the fact that morning exercise always helps me to focus on my work or on my next activity throughout the day.

So... which one is yours? Do you think you will still call yourself a morning person or a night owl, after reading this? Let me know!

I have only recently been introduced to coconut oil myself, as I was told that it is better that olive oil in terms of cooking and frying it in high temperatures. However, I was raised to know and use olive oil as the base of my diet and cooking. Perhaps it is easy to assume that Mediterranean people have been using, are using and most likely will be using olive oil as the main component of their everyday cooking as well consumption in general. Various opinions have been raised in terms of whether or not olive oil is actually as good as everyone is making sound to be. Well up until now, that is what I believed too.

Nevertheless, when coconut oil was brought to my attention, I started using it, as I was curious to see if it would have any sort of positive or negative impact on my diet. Whether it would be good or not. Whether it would appear healthier, or not.
Even up to this day, I am not quite sure. However I haven't seen any negative changes or impact on my diet or my health.

I came upon this article, while researching for nutrition advice and healthy eating, like I usually do and I believe there is a certain controversy between those two oils.

It is helpful and useful to know whether or not certain oils or foods are good or bad for your health and how you should use them in order to bring out their best qualities. For example there are nutritionists and dietitians who back up and recommend coconut oil, while on the meantime, there are others who do the same for olive oil. Now, this begs the question: Which one is best for me to use? Or even: Which one is healthier and works better cooked or raw. I am sure you can always find more questions to ask. Although, I always tend to ask whether or not it suits my diet and works better alongside everything else I consume. This article provides you with a better insight to those questions. However, whether or not someone will actually use this knowledge, is up to that person's personal preferences.

In my opinion, we should aim to consume and use the food we are provided, with moderation and care. I am aware that people tend to overlook or forget to check the nutritional value of the food they usually consume. Nonetheless, it is important to know at least the basics of what we are given and we like to put on our everyday table. So be considerate but also don't forget to enjoy your food. Take care, and be healthy!

Trendy foods come and go, but coconut oil, well, it's stuck around. We have to ask: does it really live up to all the hype?
