Wall Squats: great squat exercise for a bigger butt, toned legs and thighs

Wall squats are my favourite exercises in the squat family because this  single exercise is great for toning and increasing the butt size, it tones the legs, thighs, abs, waist and the entire core when done properly.

How to do the reverse wall squat

1.  To do this wall squat variation, bring your toes to the wall, keep them an inch away from the wall and keep your legs wide apart.

2. Then sit down (on an imaginary footstool) and stay looking straight so that your torso stays up.

Healthy Ways To Gain Weight

While most people are interested in losing weight, some at the other end of the scale struggle with weight gain and constantly try not to be underweight or too skinny. Sometimes I've had to fight this battle myself. I tend to lose weight easily, no thanks (and thanks) to some physical activities in my weekly routine.

Some causes of weight loss include illness, excessive exercises and stress. While downing loads of high calorie foods and drinks is an easy way to gain weight, eating healthy still remains the best, because a junk filled diet devoid of nutrients doesn't give your body much to work with.

Here are healthy ways to gain weight;

Get A Flatter Belly In 3 Days: Weekend Flat Belly Challenge

Getting a flatter belly could be a walk in the park if you're armed with the right knowledge, or better still if you know the right exercises to do.

The exercises in this weekend flat-belly challenge include, crunch, sit-ups and planks, but the most important is the addition of detox water. The benefits of detox water can never be overrated. Aside getting rid of bloating, detox water also helps burn fat, thanks to ingredients like lemon and lime. You can read about how to make detox water here. Last weekend I went beyond my food limit and I was so bloated that the sound my belly made when I slightly hit it could be likened to a talking drum, but after few minutes I got detox water into my system, the toilet ended up at the receiving end.

How To Treat Viginal Infection With Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is a plant that serves many health and beauty purposes. It is one of the most effective remedy for treating vaginal infection because of its medicinal properties. This natural herb can be taken internally or used for topical applications, but for the purpose of this article I'll be concentrating on how to use Aloe vera gel against vaginal infection, (you can read about vaginal infection here ).

 Several years ago when I had a mild vagina infection that was accompanied by occasional itching, after trying several over-the-counter medicines, Aloe vera saved me just after 2 applications.

How To Overcome Soda/Soft Drink Addiction

Are you a soda/soft drink addict? Well, I was on top of the "soda addicts list" once and I can tell you at no cost that overcoming my soda addiction didn't happen in a day. Back in my "excess soda consumption days", I could drink as much as 6 bottles of soda everyday. One for every meal, one for any boring moment and just to satisfy my addiction. I was so addicted to soda that my mum thought my favourite brand ought to have made me an ambassador. 

Excess soda consumption has a major role to play in weight gain and if you're a weightloss journey, you might want to evaluate your soda consumption.

Nigerian Medical Association, Let Kids Go Back To School- Enraged Student

I got this email from a concerned student and I decided to share it here.

"According to Nelson Mandela "education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world".We can never understand the power that education brings in through the life of a person. The former vice president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar recently claimed how much education have made him who he is today and he totally gave glory to the great masterpiece education and how it had manoeuvred his life greatly. 

The bible also stamps a huge ground on how important knowledge is. The bible says with all thy getting get understanding (Proverbs 4:7). The bible also says people perish for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). I see no reason education should be toiled with, delayed or hindered no matter the scenario. The fact that education is important every other thing that thrives to hinder it should be dealt with some other way and I repeat nothing should hinder education.

How To Draw A Perfect Eyebrow

Hi Beauties! For the love of makeup and a perfectly lined eyebrow here's a brief lecture on how to draw perfect eyebrows. Now I don't mean an upside down Nike symbol. No!

The eyebrow has it's own way of defining your face and enhancing your looks if you know how to create a perfect eyebrow. As easy as it looks, most ladies end up drawing eyebrows that cut across as hideous. I'm sure you must have seen ladies with weird looking eyebrows. Some ladies even tattoo their eyebrows. Would you do that? I know I'd never try that.

I'm not a makeup artiste, but I asked a professional and she pretty much explained how to create a perfect eyebrow in 8steps. Before you try this out, please ensure to understand the shape of your eyebrows. Not every one is blessed with a natural arch eyebrow.

Skipping:

Some fitness instructors advice to start your arm exercises with skipping.

What Is Love?: Is The Love Between Pastor Chris And Anita Oyakhilome Gone?

"Love can grow and love can die, it all depends on the farmer". Someone on my BBM contact wrote that on her PM and I immediately wanted to react to it and tell her that Love never dies, but I paused  for a moment and reflected on what she wrote and what must have triggered it. I also considered what Love really means is.

What Is Love?

If I add a pound each time someone tells me that love is just like any other feeling that comes and goes, I'll be so obese the world's most overweight woman would have nothing on me. So really, what is love?

SEPTEMBER WORKOUT CHALLENGE! IT'S ON!

Hi guys! I can't tell you how excited I am to announce the beginning of this challenge. I got over 70 entries, though some didn't follow the  guidelines, but I was totally blown away.
I got people asking me how much this challenge costs; it's an online challenge, it's free and I'm glad you're a part of it.

There should be workout video in the place of the picture above (that's me doing a full plank), but I had no control over my internet connection. It just won't let me upload the video to my YouTube channel! But not to worry, I'm gonna briefly explain the exercises that make up the weight-loss video I made and while we wait for it to come up, you can include it to any basic cardio exercise of your choice.
