Hey everyone whats happening. A recent visitor sent in this video they found of Jelena on youtube. Looking great and in shape as always!!
Working out my face
Working out your face is a bit strange you might ask, so just what do I mean? There really is no way to workout your face, but what I am talking about is getting rid of wrinkles. Wrinkles happen to the best of us even when we are staying in shape and eating healthy, although I do have to say that by staying healthy it will help in the long run. Of course just eating healthy and working out is not going to stop you from getting wrinkles and fine lines.
There is a lot more to it then that. You need to exfoliate your skin, moisturize your skin and another thing is sun exposure. In bodybuilding competitions you will see that a tan is very important as it brings out the muscle definition. Most of us put on self tanning lotion to get that super dark tan, but many will hit the tanning salon relentlessly and that really can wreak havoc on your skin down the road.
One product from Beachdbody is called Derm Exclusive and from what we can see it is pretty awesome and fairly priced. You have to wonder when you see other products that are selling or close to what surgery would cost. Surgery is one road I will never travel because in the end you never can be too sure what will happen.
If you are looking to battle aging skin then find a regimen that works for you and stick with it. Just like working out and getting healthy you are not going to reverse years of aging in a month, it might take you 6 months to a year. Same goes for losing weight and getting in shape. You cannot reverse five years of abusing your body in a few weeks or a month.
It takes time and hard work like anything else in life, but when you put in the time and see the results it is all worth it!
MMA Style Workouts Gaining Traction
Have you heard of MMA? You know mixed martial arts? The sport mainly run by the UFC is gaining huge traction. It has overtaken boxing in the ratings and events happen all the time so you can really catch a good fight almost any weekend.
Another facet of MMA is the MMA style workouts that have been coming out. MMA fighters are some of the best trained athletes in the world. When it comes to training you may have heard of Les Mills? Les Mills puts out some of the best fitness workouts around today. A new one they have just put out is Les Mills Combat. This is an awesome fast paced and fun MMA style workout that has you kicking, punching, and working your core to the max. The great thing about combat is that you really switch it up with the workouts. Some of the workouts are only 30 minutes so you can get a killer workout in a short time. They do have a few workouts that are 45 and 60 minutes as well, so you will be getting a full workout for sure.
I find that I really like to switch up my routines or my body gets used to them. It is amazing how you can follow the same program for a few months and feel great. Then you try a new routine and you are more sore then ever. This is because your body adapts. This is why I love the Les Mills Combat workout since you are constantly working different parts of your body and keeping it guessing.
If you are looking for a great workout for the new year the check out Les Mills Combat. You can read a really great detailed review of it here http://theshakereview.com/les-mills-combat-reviews/
Wife Losing Weight?
Yeah I know it is a strange title for a post, but it is one of those things you live with as a guy all the time!! Your wife asks you how she looks… you can say the truth… and you can’t lie.. you cant WIN!! Then when they go on a diet and lose 10 pounds and they are happy about it, they ask you how they look and you say great. Then they say ” I didn’t look great before”. You can’t Win!
It is all good though. The funniest thing I find with my wife and other women in general is they never listen to you/me. For example I have been drinking Shakeology for almost 6 months and have tried to get my wife to try it numerous times. She took a sip once didn’t like it and that was it! I always offer etc, but she wants nothing to do with it. Of course months go by and her friend in her workout class offers her some. What happens? Now my wife is drinking shakeology! It is all about the 3rd party. They never listen to you. So for now on anytime I want her to try something or do something or go somewhere etc.. I have to figure out how to get someone else involved lol.
Hey life could be worse right. To be honest my wife is losing weight and that is great. After having 2 kids her body has gotten beat up. All those ab muscles stretched and just added weight of getting ready. No big deal, but I do love the fact that she is trying and doing. That is a great thing and I will always love her of course. She has been using Shakeology for about a month now and it is great because it s a quick on the go meal that has everything she needs! You can learn more about the shakes over at http://theshakereview.com which is where we buy ours. It really is a great meal replacement and I can say that since I have been drinking it I have not been sick. The flu season is upon us so lets see what happens.
When Texting a girl…
OK so I know most of you have texted before. It is quickly becoming the number one form of communication. Think about how much you text in a daily day? You don’t think that much? At the end of the day look at your phone and see how many texts you sent. It might boggle your mind. The worst is when you text a girl and it goes all wrong! You have seen those auto correct screen shots right?
There are 1,000′s more like that so you need to double check what you are about to text. Could you imagine just meeting a girl for the first time and slipping like that? Actually it could work to your benefit as she would find it funny most likely.
See right there is a prime example of how most people might think that a text like that could end things when in reality it could be just the text opener you need to make the conversation and hopefully relationship work!
That is the best part about the mystery of texting. You can never know the real expression of the sender so you have to craft them just the right way to make your point. Even when sending funny text messages to girls you will want to do it in the proper way. Over at http://textagirlguru.com/sending-funny-text-messages-to-girls/ they show some great examples of this and it is pretty fun to give it a shot.
Most of the texts you might think will work, will never work because it is the same text messages they are getting from everyone else. In the end if you want to stand out to a woman you need to be unique and capture her interest. If you can keep her attention and keep her wanting you are one step closer to starting a lasting relationship!
How I like to use Shakeology
Trying to stay in the best shape of your life when you are on the go can be a daunting task if you are not prepared. That is the key… being prepared. This is where Shakeology from Beach Body comes in for me. The thing I love most about Shakeology is that is has so many vitamins and minerals in it, that I am able to get all those good things my body needs on the guy. There are a lot of meal replacement shakes out there that are loaded with sugars so they taste good, but are not really giveing your body what it needs.
If you have never heard of Shakeology then here are a few pointers for ya.
- 70 + Healthy Ingredients
- 17 Grams of Protein
- Pre & Pro Biotics
- Taste Great
- Flavors “Chocolate, Greenberry, Tropical” My fave is tropical
- Mixes easy
Those are just a few great things about Shakeology. My favorite is the Tropical and I like to blend with ice and a banana, sometimes Strawberries as well, but I hate the little seeds in strawberries. Sorry thats just me
I typically use this as a meal replacement when I am on the go and running out and about as well as a late night snack sometimes. Depending on what time it is, I will sometimes just have the shake with ice and not add the banana.
All in all it is a great drink that has all your body needs so why not drink it. Shakeology is expensive, but well worth it in my opinion. Saves me money from not buying junk on the go. If you are interested in a free Shakeology sample check out http://theshakereview.com/free-sample-of-shakeology/
Heres to your health!

Insanity Workout Review
Have you heard of the Insanity Workout? It is from the Beach Body line of products and the master mind behind it is Shaun T a former dancer and choreographer.
The reason I did this insanity workout review is because I know a handful of people who have actually did it and the results were amazing.
I am in the 4th week myself and I am feeling great. The first 2 weeks were tough, but my buddy is adjusting and I am seeing results.
The great thing is that the Insanity Workout hits you for all angles and it does it in a way so your body can react and repair and get ready for the next workout. Like I said I am just finishing up my 4th week. Next week is a recovery week which gets me geared up for the last half of Insanity. The Max workout weeks! Aghh!!! I am a bit scare about this lol. Supposedly the workouts are more intense and longer in time, but of course this is what you need to push yourself to the next level.
With that said as one who is currently doing the Insanity Workout and having seen 3 of my friends have superb results it would be in your best interest to at least check it out.
