I jot down and photoset my wildest experiences in different places around the world. I wish to expose myself to the vary attitudes of colors in this creation of God. And, not to forget my daily details in life.
Pictures that speak up for me.
This workout involves little to no equipment; all you need is a space to workout in, a place to run, and a chair. The goal of this workout is to tone each major problem area on the body so that you can rock that bikini bod.
**Remember to drink water throughout your workout, breathe when you’re doing the excercises and if, for some reason, anything hurts (beyond the usual workout soreness) stop immediately.**
Start with ten minutes of easy cardio to get your heart rate up and your blood flowing. Biking and jogging are popular options. And then follow that up with 2-3 sets of the following.
15 Tricep Dips (back, shoulders and back of arms)
*chair* Standing with back to chair, place your hands on edge of seat and walk your feet out with knees slightly bent. Bend your elbows and lower your butt towards the floor until your elbows are bent at a 90 degree angle. Press back up. 14 more to go!!
15 Plank Twists
Start in the push-up position, and tighten your ab muscles. Bend your left leg bringing your left knee up under your stomach and towards your right shoulder. Repeat for your right leg bringing your right knee under your stomach and towards your left shoulder.
15 Scissor Kicks
Lie on your back with your hands tucked under your lower back or butt for support. Press the small of your back against the floor (it will feel weird) and raise your legs 6 inches from the ground. Make sure to keep your legs straight. Tighten your abs as you lift your left leg straight, keeping in mind to keep your back flat against the ground. Quickly bring the left leg down while simultaneously lifting your right leg. If done properly your heels shouldn’t touch the ground until all 15 are done. Each leg should point towards the sky 15 times.
15 Seated Ab Twist
Sit on the floor with your knees bent and arms extended in front of you, hands clasped. Lean back until your torso is at a 45 degree angle to the floor, your feet should be hovering slightly above the ground and your abs should be tightened. Twist your arms to the right until your knuckles hit the ground and then return to center. Alternate sides and do 15 each.
20 Side Lunges With Knee-Up
Stand feet hip-width apart, knees soft and hands on hips. Lift right knee to chest and then take a big step out to the right side, lowering into a side lunge (your right leg should bend and your left leg should not). Quickly push off right foot and return to standing position with knee at the chest. Do 20 times on the right and then switch and do 20 on the leg.
20 Regular Lunges
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, your hands on your hips. Step forward with your right foot and bend your right knee until your left knee is only a few inches from the ground. Keep in mind your knee should never go past the tops of your toes and if they do, take a longer step. Push back up into the standing position with feet shoulder-width apart and then alternate sides until each leg has done 20 lunges.
25 Calf Raises
Simple stand straight with your hands resting on something for balance and pull in your ab muscles. Raise your heels so your weight is on the balls of your feet, hold for a few seconds and then lower them slowly. 1 down, 24 to go!!2-3 Sets
All workouts are courtesy of multiple fitness magazines and credit for the picture doesn’t belong to me. I hope you enjoyed my little workout and I’d love for your feed back. <3
I recommend doing the lunges holding 10lb weights and calf raises holding 20lb weights at your sides. Or more if you can! Push yourself!

People who take kindness as weakness and ignorance as stupidity.
“ Women; when you dress provocatively and without modesty; what you don’t realise, is that today, you will be devoured in the minds of hundreds of men. Now you may be ignorant to your role in causing your brother to stumble, and you may be naive of the way you impact and influence their minds and thought patterns… But let me tell you this, in my ten years of being within the church and meeting Christian brothers from all over Australia, and internationally also - there is not a man I do not know, who doesn’t struggle in some way, shape or form, with lust; and therefore, women, I tell you now… If you knew the thoughts that men fall victim to due to your clothing and modesty choices; I can assure you, that you would quickly change the way in which you present yourself. Temptation is a negative, daily and constant battle for men. So often I hear the complaints from mature women, teenagers and even young girls - of how men and boys don’t know how to respect them, treat them well, or show them appropriate attention, in a situation as simple as a conversation. This amuses me greatly; but also disheartens me, because women; you must realise, if you want men to listen to you, look you in the eyes, and focus on your personality and the things you are discussing and raising - you need to assess your wardrobe, your actions, and your perhaps unintentional, yet still present - flirtational and touchy attitude. You must realise today, that often it is not their interest in your breasts, stomach, or thighs that cause them to be distracted from your face, but the battle that is raging inside their head; to avoid the sin of lust, brought about by your revealing choice of clothing etc. I urge you, as women of the church, as sisters joined together in Christ; to check yourselves. You may suggest it is not your role to help our fellow brothers; but let me assure you - It is our direct and intentional responsibility to assist our brothers in growing nearer to the Lord, and to further distance themselves from sin and temptation. Ask yourself today “Am I a stumbling block in my modesty, or lack there of? - do I represent Christ as well as I could?” - Assert yourself, present your body in such a way that it honours Christ first and foremost, followed by honouring and faithfully assisting your fellow believers within the church. ”
