Total BODY Workout
This is a great workout routine for traveling and when you don't have a lot of time to workout. Also a exercise band fits easily in a suit case without taking up much space. Get ready to sweat with just you and an exercise band.
Military Push-up
Start in push-up position (back straight and abs engaged) . Place resistance band across back and hold an end tightly under each hand. Put hands about 5 inches apart on mat and lower chest toward floor, keeping elbows by sides. Push back up into band; hold for 4 seconds. Do 10 reps.
Adductor Press-down
Lie on your right side, balancing on your right forearm, elbow in line with shoulder, legs extended, shoulders and hips square. Wrap a resistance band around the arch of your left foot and raise leg to hip height, foot flexed, while holding both ends of band in left hand, elbow bent and on left hip. Contract abs to stabilize your torso, then without changing the position of your body or band, press left leg down to meet your right make sure to activate the movement from the inner thighs. Slowly lift your left leg back up to starting position, resisting against band as it pulls your leg up to hip height. Repeat for 15-20 reps, then switch sides.
Boat Pose
Sit on floor with legs in a V position. Wrap band over quads and under hamstrings (forming an X), and hold an end in each hand. Engage abs, keeping back straight and chest lifted, and raise legs about 1 foot off floor. Pull on band as you push legs out to sides, then hold legs open for 4 seconds. Return legs to start and repeat. Do 15 reps without lowering legs.
Bridge

Hip Extension

Chest-up Curl
Tie a resistance band in a loop and put legs through it, resting it above knees. Lie on your back, knees bent at a 90 degree angle, and in line with hips. Drop tailbone so lower back touches floor. Place fingertips lightly on the sides of your head. Slowly lift head and curl torso upward. Then, reach your hands forward as far as possible, palms up, curling torso slightly higher, making sure shoulder blades clear the floor but the back portion of your waist is still in contract with the floor.

What are the benefits to eating organic foods?
There are many reason why I eat organic foods and mostly it's because they are free of pesticides and are richer in vitamins then pesticides sprayed foods.
The impact to the earth and the environment is lower. The animals, even being raised for strictly food enjoy a life (no matter how short) that is relatively stress-free, free-grazing on the land and not being manufactured in crowded and sometimes deplorable living conditions.
Organic farmers use less energy, less water resources, and NO pesticides. Organic farmers rarely have to burn their fields, because their soil stays rich in content, moisture and nutrients due to careful management of land and using only natural organic matter to cultivate and grow their crops.
When industrialized agriculture (union farms) arrive in farming communities, many farmers are forced out of business. Great expanses of farm land are swallowed up and a way of life that has sustained humans for centuries vanishes. Gone too, is the regard for animals. Placing the animals in crowded living conditions, not allowing them the freedom of movement, fed enriched grains and additives to promote quick growth, and all for what? All for greed.
Each month dozens of new pesticides, cleaners, fertilizers etc… show up in local supermarkets and stores. These products, advertised heavily are purchased and used and thus the destruction of the earth continues slow and steady.
Organic farmers, live cleanly. Free of pesticides and toxins. They do not clutter up the landfills with toxic waste or subject their bodies to unhealthy foods. It is a conscious choice. One made in order to survive right along with the planet that sustains them
In order to protect our skin, organic skin care products should be utilized. This new organic world can become confusing as you navigate through the shelves of your supermarkets and malls and some questions come to mind:
Organic skin care products are beneficial for the health of your skin, but if they are truly organic, their shelf life is cut in half from their commercial counterparts. This is one way to check the authenticity of organic skin care products, by the expiration date. Only synthetic ingredients prolong shelf life for products beyond the few months that natural products can survive.
Organic skin care products claim to be beneficial for your skin. Free of harmful preservatives and additives, organic skin care products is an industry that has exploded in the last couple of years. With sales rapidly expanding due in large part to the industry taking to the Internet, more and more companies are now joining the move to offer non-toxic products for your skin.
Honey is an all natural skin exfoliate. When applied to dry, red or irritated skin, honey will naturally soothe the area and take the redness and soreness away. Honey is the oldest naturalizer in the world. When applied to the skin, honey locks the moisture in and prevents painful dry skin from occurring.
The company also offers aromatherapy products such as Lavender therapy Relaxing Pillow Spray…The Healing Garden Body Definition…Healing Garden Hand Cream…all ingredients fully botanical and tested by dermatologists.
These are only two companies in a long list that offer organic skin care products. If you are mystified as to which companies are legitimate, an organization called The Organic Consumers Association out of Minnesota stands ready to help you.
This is a grassroots organization dealing with the many issues of organic products and offering a website rich with facts and statistics. Their motto:

Pin It
Don't lie you want to look good naked! I thought so! Well, me too and here is a 2 week program to get you there. You'll find it to be enjoyably different from my other workouts. It's all based on time and not reps. You will push yourself as far as you want to and as hard as you want. I suggest to get the best workout move as fast as you can, of course while keeping good form, and don't slow down until you are at the end of one set of each exercise.
