6 Myths You Believe About Yoga

There is lots of great information out there about yoga. However, there is also lots of things that are floating around out there that are not accurate. These are often those things that turn people away from yoga when they expereince them. One of the top myths that I find is that people believe that they need to be flexible to do yoga. Yoga is for any skill level and is not really about flexibility. We have to realize that yoga does not have to look a certain way. We just need to practice to the best of our ability to recieve the many benefits of yoga. It is a crime when people are exposed to a very restrictive idea of yoga and it always limits the results that they will find. Check out this article and find the truth.

It makes me sad when I see people that are just existing in life. They walk through life in a fog, with no aspirations or hope of ever finding anything better.

This is what makes life intersting and gives me those great stories to tell my grandchildren as they are growing up. So here are some ways that you can start making the most of your life.

Five Apps the Airlines Don't Want You to Use

In recent years the cost of travel has risen and falling so many times it is impossible to count. We have the idea of discount carriers and then other airlines that make you pay for everything. It is truly a crazy industry. There are very few standards between carriers and the quality of service is always subject to the day or even hour. So my best suggestion is to use options that help you find the best price for the fastest travel that you can make, so you don't have to worry about the rest. So here are some great apps that can help you make your life easier. Check them out and see what you think. Then go to www.WarriorVacations.com and get ready for the trip of a lifetime on the beach with me in Costa Rica.

Food labeling: what you should know about GMOs and MSG

There is lots of talk in the media about Gentically Modified Foods these days. Many of us just pass it by and jjst chalk it up to conspiracy theory. But there is some real validity to the claims that people are making about our food supply. It is the one thing that can either make us very sick or make us healthy and we need to protect it. So becoming more educated about what you are putting in your body is very important. So here is an article that will show you what these things mean and how they can effect you in the years to come. Ther are lots of theories out there about why this is happening but I would rather focus on the facts about this rather than the why. Check it out and let me know what you think about the whole subject.

Designing a Workout for Your Dream Body

Bodybuilding is really nothing more than muscle sculpting. It doesn't have to be bigger muscles it can also be about creating the body that you have always dreamed of. I know when I was 260 lbs I never thought that I would ever make it back into  size 32 pant or wear anything but an xl shirt. But after controlling my diet and focusing my workouts I not only got down to a 32 I also dropped to 170 lbs. You have to be intentional in what you want to do with your body and you must have a goal in mind. Maybe you want to fit into that dress again or you want to look good in your bathing suit. You have to have that mental picture of what you want and start focusing your efforts towards that. It does mean that you will have to get off the couch and stop eating all those chips, but you will have something even better....self-confidence and that will change your life completely. Check out this article and get on the road to a better you.

We all need that opposing stretch and this is the way to get it. Check out the article and get on your mat.

Processed Meats Too Dangerous for Human Consumption

If you ever thought our American diet was not so healthy, here is more proof that it is not even edible. Not only is it devoid of any real nutrition there are studies that show that it is not even good enough for humans to eat. The scary things is that we are still buying these foods by the truckload and wondering why disease is on the rise. We wonder why we are fat, sick, and medicated but refuse to look at what we put in our mouths as the cause. Then we say we could never stop eating those foods. So in essence we are choosing a less than optimal life for ourselves. Check out this article and see if it doesn't change your mind.
