FOOD: OATMEAL OMLET

HOW TO: MUESLI WITH FRUITS

As some of you may recall, I am a huuuuge fan of a healthy lifestyle. I try to sleep as much as possible, exercise every second day and eat healthy food preprepared at home. A few of my friends keep repeating that probably such a lifestyle  costs me a lot of time and money, but they could not be more wrong!

Recently I have visited a Buddist Center in Budapest, where I have been served a delicious dish that for past 3 days is in my MANU. It is: 1. DELICIOUS, 2. HEALTHY, 3. EASY TO MAKE, so I decided to share it with you to enrich your life with it as well.  Magnificence of this recipe is in it adjustability to different seasons.  You can freely replace/exchange/add kinds of fruits and muesli in it depending on its availability.

Let me know in the comment section below, if you like to read more posts like this one.

Have a nice day!

P.S. Now when I look at the picture, I think it does not look as delicious as it tastes. Please don't get discouraged and let me quote my friend: 'The worse food looks, the better it tastes!' :D

INSPIRATION: FITNESS CHIC

I am about to start my training and I wonder what to wear*...

*Fashion victim need to look chic even when sweating during Jillian Michaels' Kickbutt Workout!

HOW TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF?

 

At the beginning of the year, I made a promise to myself and now I have to deliver it. What did I promise to myself? I declared doing my best in becoming someone better. When I say it, I do not mean that I don't like myself in the present. In fact, it means I like myself so much, that I decided to make my life even better than it is now. 

LONG AND LEAN LEGS GIF

No more excuses! It is time to work on your legs before wearing mini skirts and bikinis during the summer. I have already started following routine presented by Karlie Kloss. Do you want to join me and prepare your legs for mini skirt season? Let's get started.

Start standing straight. Bend your knees in a kinda-sitting position (not fully though). Extend one leg and lift knee upward (pointed the toes),  return to an extended position, bring leg back to the other one and straighten up the legs.  It is important to perform the exercise correctly to get the best result, so avoid swinging the leg. After doing series for one leg, switch them. (Working on one leg will make you feel the muscles burn :D)  Start with 10 reps and built it up.

SCULPTED ARMS GIFS

There is one problem area that each and every girl should work on- underarms. I don't know how about yours, but mine got a bit fluffy since I turned 25 and every year it gets worse and worse... As it stops me from wearing my very favourite vests and tank tops I decided to fight with it. I say decisive 'no' to jelly under arms! Wanna join me in sculpting it? Following these four simple moves will help us to achieve our goal!!! Let's get started

Before starting prepare 2 bottles of water or alternatively two weights.

1. Begin in a standing position with slightly bended legs. Extended one leg to the side. Keep arms  firm at chest level with elbows angled just slightly upward. In your hands hold a three-pound weight (alternatively water bottle). Rotate the torso towards extended leg side and simultaneously lift the leg toward your stomach bending a knee. This exercise works on shoulders, triceps, biceps, and the underside of your arms and chest, so it works all places we show, when in strapless dresses! The rotation at the waist also tones your core, while the thigh lift helps work on balance and stability.

GET FIT THIS WEEK!

How was your weekend??? 

Mine was very busy as I am working on a new project. As you may recall I am very into a healthy lifestyle and my project is about it as well. The idea popped up in my head after watching a video I want to share with you.  I love the emotions it builds up in me. It is so positive and beautiful and motivates me a lot. 

I will update you with my project results next week and for now I wish to inspire you to start a fit routine and make this week the best you could have.

Follow Lily Aldridge, get inspired and start this week in its full!

All exercises start up in plank position. For them to be effective, it is very important to keep correct posture. Focus on few things and succeed! Keep your back and arms straight, hands need to be below the shoulders and booty can't fall down. Keep the contraction in all the muscles and when you will feel it is too hard remember that you do it for yourself! Keep in your mind what result you want to get and do not give up!

1. Raise your glutes a bit to avoid scraping knee on the floor. Pull legs inside towards your abs, Do not let your knee to pass the waist not to loose the contraction. Do it

alternatively, one leg after another.

LETS START THIS YEAR!

I want to become a better this year!

One of my new year resolutions is to improve my stamina as well as to live healthy lifestyle. I will change my eating habits and do excercises. For the first month I am going to follow program developed by my very favorite trainer Jillian Michaels. Its name is 'Ripped in 30', so it says it all. The schedule of exercises is divided into 4 parts, each part for each week and additionally whole program is enriched with meal plan, helping to improve eating habits. 

After first round of exercises yesterday my corps is in such a pain, that I know I did good job :) If you like to work out at home, check it out. I fully recommend it!

MY TIP: I was exercising regularly already for a while. After watching first video, I have noticed it is for beginners, so I decided to skip it and start from the 2nd one. I will expand the length of cycle to 10 days, follow firstly beginners modification of excercies than advanced one and focus on improving my posture to fully profit from this work out..
