WEIGHTLOSS CHALLENGE! JOIN IN!

Hello everyone! How you doing? Before going on to announce this challenge, I'd like to thank everyone who's contributed to this blog in numerous ways. I really appreciate your emails and comments.

ATTENTION ALL WORKOUT CHALLENGE PARTICIPANTS!!!

Workout challenges are a great way to condition your body to adapt quickly to exercisies and also help you achieve specific results in a desired area.

To make the most out of every workout challenge you join on this blog, it is essential to adhere to the guidelines as much as you can. This makes it easier for me to track your results and help you improve.

DEALING WITH MUSCLE SORENESS AFTER EXERCISE

Exercises are accompanied with muscle pain, especially if you're working out for the first time. Starting a workout plan comes with loads of challenges like, creating time to exercise, keeping up with it, trying to achieve your set goals and possibly exceed it. It's a lot of hardwork! 

If you're not motivated enough, chances are, you'll quit after the first day. But guess what? If you resume after a while, you're still gonna experience the same measure of pain in those muscles, so endure the pain and surprise yourself!

SQUAT/BOOTY CHALLENGE EXTENSION!

Due to popular demand, I've decided to add an extra week to the squat challenge. A lot of people have written me asking if they can still join in. Some have just indicated their interest even as I'm typing this.

FLAT BELLY, BIG BOOTY TIPS

I'd like to congratulate everyone who's signed up for our first squat/booty challenge and everyone who's indicated their interest in joining. I'm gonna publish all your photos (with your permission). To help you maximise this challenge, here a a few tips to follow.

1. When squatting tighten your belly muscles to enjoy the benefits of this exercise on your belly. Aside building the booty, squatting is a great core exercise. It works on your entire body. It helps to tone your thighs. It could also reduce the size of your waist with consistency. I lost 2inches around my waist after a month of doing various squat exercises.

2WEEKS SQUAT/BOOTY CHALLENGE!

For over two weeks we've been talking about various exercises... I'm glad to announce our first "2wks squat/booty challenge". The essence of this challenge is to improve the appearance of your backside (squats are great for getting a bigger booty checkout my post on it here )

If you'll be joining this challenge, you'll need your workout clothes, workout shoes(optional for squats especially if you're working out at home), discipline, self motivation and your own body weight. No equipment is required for this.  To make it more intense I suggest you combine squats and lunges. The above picture is an illustration of how to do the traditional squat.

BUTT IMPLANTS VS SQUATS

Hi guys! Apologies for my AWOLness. Thanks to everyone who sent an email asking about my well being. I love everyone one of you.
I was doing a research and a certain article on butt implants caught my attention, so I thought we'd talk a little about butt implants.

The lady in the above picture is 46yrs old mother, Apryl Michelle Brown. She lost all her limbs, butt and almost her life to bottom injections that were supposed to give her a bigger booty.
