On dieting


 “I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number of carats in a diamond.”
Mae West

What do you think... Does Mae have a point here?  Whilst I love eating carrots, I can honestly say that in my own life, as well as documentation from countless studies and statistics show that diets don't usually work.  Temporarily, yes (maybe), but we ought to be focused on longevity.
I would much rather make wise lifestyle choices that result in a life-long healthful state and well being, than rely on the latest get-thin-quick fads.

Opinions?  What have you found to work in your case?

Award-winning arms


If you watched last weekend's 84th annual Academy Awards show, then you likely noticed two of the night's fittest ladies: Viola Davis and Cameron Diaz.  Just look at those toned arms!

Here are some fab upper-body exercises that will sculpt your arms, chest, and shoulders in no time.


TIP:
To maximise my arm-shaping workout, I often incorporate lower body exercises such as squats, pliés, and lunges at the same time.  Killer.

Happy Friday, and love the burn!
