scientific 7-minute workout

And now science really does show how HIIT (high-intensity interval training) workouts really do work.  Science proves it! haha "Researchers from the Human Performance Institute (HPI) in Orlando have combined the latest exercise science to create a better interval program that can be done anywhere, anytime. The routine involves the following twelve exercises performed for 30 seconds each with 10-second rest/transition periods before the next move." (greatist.com)

Do each move for 30 secs with 10 sec rest in between each. That's it.  Your 7 minutes are over. :)

"clouds"

This is an incredible story on what living life is all about. Living in the moment and not taking any of it for granted. Zach will forever be in our hearts. His song "clouds" is a viral video sensation, but let's not forget why he wrote this inspiring song, not only to be remembered for his music, but also for the way he lived.

cucumbers......in your water?

It may sound a little funny, "cucumber water". I thought so to the first time I was at a restaurant and it was served automatically. I was like, "hmmm, this looks interesting". It was love at first taste. :) Try it.  Plus there are totally great health benefits from this delicious beverage!

* It’s good for your muscles
* It’s good for your skin
* It’s low calorie 
* It’s detoxifying
* It’s inexpensive

Just add a few slices to a glass of water, best if stored over night, but you do not have to!

15 squats
30 sec plank
20 lunges (each leg)
30 russian twists

What's your fit?

Find your fit in life. "So many people have jobs that look good but feel bad. They did it because of their parents or because it looks good to society. People who are happiest in life fit day to day. Don't stop until you find that." - David Kelley

Keep your eyes open. Opportunities lie ahead. 

We might not always see them right away, but they are there we just have to go make it happen.
