<div class='embaArticle' style='display:inline'><p><a href="http://chickandfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/fitness-communities.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1330" title="fitness communities" src="http://chickandfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/fitness-communities-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>Internet is becoming an integral part of our daily lives, especially the social networks. The big wigs like Facebook are witnessing a nonstop growth in their user base while the new ones continue to take the World Wide Web by storm. But with the growth, more and more people are seen voicing their disapproval for these networks. Reason? Because a vast majority of these networks hardly serve any real purposes, except allowing people to keep a tab on their friends and family members, or simply sharing random stuff with each other.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s because most of these critics are not aware of the online communities made with a focus, for example the support groups and fitness communities focusing on people looking to lose some weight and stay fit. Once you become a part of these communities, you will be getting a lot of advice, motivation, and inspiration to break the shackles and reach your goals sooner than later. Following is a list of five communities buzzing with the fitness enthusiasts that will help you meet your weight loss targets.<span id="more-1329"></span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.heiaheia.com/account">heiaheia.com</a>:</p>
<p>The name has been derived from a Scandinavian chant (Heia, Heia) used in sports, and the origin of the name sums up the basic purpose of the website, which is to motivate its users to exercise and stay fit. The community has more than 350 activities with new activities being added on regular basis, and with users coming from more than 140 countries, the social network seems to be of great help and motivation for people looking to lose weight, stay fit and healthy.

Having won many awards, the community has millions of users, who are making the most of the support and four staged diet plan (Fast Break, Healthy Diet Habits, Lifestyle Change, Spread the Spark) available at the portal.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dailymile.com/">Daily Mile</a>:</p>
<p>Daily mile is like a twitter of people looking to share their workout accomplishments and achievements with their friends. It is all about tracking your workouts, with a number of Apps for iPhone like Jog Log, Kinetic, Electric Miles, or Walk meter, or for Android like Run Free, Track 2 Miles, or Run star. The community has all sorts of challenges, routes, Events, and Forums to keep you going.</p>

<div class="topsy_widget_data topsy_theme_mustard" style="float: right;margin-left: 0.75em; background: url(data:,%7B%20%22url%22%3A%20%22http%3A%2F%2Fchickandfit.com%2Fhow-does-a-working-mom-find-time-for-exercise%2F%22%2C%20%22style%22%3A%20%22small%22%2C%20%22title%22%3A%20%22How%20Does%20A%20Working%20Mom%20Find%20Time%20For%20Exercise%3F%22%20%7D);"></div>
<div class='embaArticle' style='display:inline'><p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1319" title="mom-exercise" src="http://chickandfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/mom-exercise.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="268" />There are many women that have decided that they need to stay home to care for their children as they grow and they have found that they can work from home and still care for their little ones. They work when the kids are in school or are down for a nap and are able to help contribute to the income for their families. They are very busy, between work and the kids and often find it difficult to fit in a work out. This does not have to be the case. There are ways that a mom can fit it into their lives, they just have to make the effort.<span id="more-1318"></span></p>
<p>Exercise is necessary for anyone but for someone that stays at home with the kids, it can be even more important. If their job is done while sitting in front of a computer, they may not be up and moving like they would in job outside of the home. It can also be a strain on the nerves when you are cooped up in your house all day working and caring for the kids. Exercise is a great way to relieve some stress and burn some calories while you are doing it. You can focus on your body and not on the kids for a while, which can give you a much needed mental break.</p>
<p><strong>Day Care At The Gym?</strong></p>
<p>Getting a membership to the gym is a great way to stay in shape. Work can be completed on time and you can take the kids with you to the gym if there is a child care option there. When you put the kids in a child care center at the gym, they will have the chance to socialize with other children their age and you will be able to get the much needed workout completed. The people that work in the day care portion of the gym should be trained in CPR and will keep your kids safe until you return.</p>
<p><strong>A Few Hours At The Park?</strong></p>
<p>If there is one thing that most children love to do, it is to go to the park. There are usually so many things to keep them occupied that they do not really want or need an adult standing over their shoulder. If there is play area that they kids will be in, let them go play and you can walk laps around the area. This will keep your body moving while they are entertained. You are allowing them some play time, you some exercise time, and all without sacrificing your work or your attention to their needs.</p>
<p><strong>Music While You Clean?</strong></p>
<p>Another great way to get some exercise while you are at home with the children or working from home is to crank up the music. If you have the kids at home and the music turned high, you can all dance around the house together and have a great time. Kids love to see their parents happy, dancing and singing. They will think it is funny at first but will start dancing right along side of you. Dancing is a great way to get your heart pumping and is a wonderful source of exercise.</p>

<div class='embaArticle' style='display:inline'><p><a href="http://chickandfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/exercise.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1224" title="exercise" src="http://chickandfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/exercise-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Most of us are spending long hours sitting in front of a computer or watching TV programs. As a result, we are doing less physical activities and starting a regular fitness regimen seems to be an impossible goal. For sure many of us tried to fit in exercise in our daily schdule but it simply didn’t work out for some reasons. You hardly find one person who can make it through to their goal of staying fit and healthy.</p>
<p>As we all know, exercise is full of health benefits but the idea of staying on track is a challenge. If you are facing this challenge, then the below points may help you convince yourself to exercise.</p>
<p><strong>Be a morning person.</strong> Losing weight or staying fit is an effort. It means you need to work out and sweat to achieve your desired fitness level. It will not happen if you are simply sitting in front of the TV though it will if you will run everyday for half an hour or go to the gym on regular basis.<span id="more-1223"></span></p>
<p>So exert an effort to exercise regularly. The best way to do it is to exercise first thing in the morning because usually many things will come up after office and you will end up not doing your daily workout. Execuses like long meetings or inevitable last minute deadlines can happen and it will spoil your day’s plan. Unlike if you exercise in the morning before going to work, this task is already completed.</p>
<p><strong>Change Your Frame of Mind. </strong>Oftentimes we do exercise for one particular reason – to lose weight, right? This is our motivation but sometimes it leads to burn out and eventually you give up. Then one day you will just find yourself that you are back again to your old unhealthy habits.</p>
<p>Why not try a new strategy? Change your mind setting. Go for the glow or the energized feeling which is the after effect of exercise. If you foresee that you will have a long and stressful day work, then start your day with exercise. Fuel your body with energy before being bombared with stress later in the day.</p>
<p><strong>Dress up and Feel Sexy</strong>. Do not wait that you lose those extra pounds before donning your workout outfit. Dress up now and start feeling sexy. Gearing up with the proper workout clothes will help you stay motivated.</p>
<p><strong>Find a Workout Buddy</strong>. Isn’t it more fun to run with a buddy than being alone? Having a partner in your exercise will rev up your motivation too. Of course, there are those occassional lazy days that you simply want to sulk in the sofa and watch TV but if you have a determined buddy, then you are left with no options but to get up and do the exercise routine with him. Somehow you are forced but still it is a good thing ebcause it helps you to stay track.</p>
<p>Now you do not have excuses to escape exercise.</p>

These same couch potatoes are looking forward to heading out to enjoy the warm beach weather, but are also realizing that their bodies are not in beach-ready conditions. While each person has their own idea of the perfect beach body, both men and women will undoubtedly benefit from changes in their daily routines. If any of these individuals are truly committed to seeing results, they will find encouragement through following these simple tips and tricks.</p>
<p><strong>Put the Potato Chips Down!<br />
</strong><br />
If the body is likened to a car, then its fuel source is food. While sugary, high-fat meals and snacks are rich energy sources, they do not provide a very high gas mileage for the vehicle. Crisps, chips, cakes and buns are like crude oil that will clog up the car’s pipes and valves. On the other hand, fresh fruits and vegetables are nutrient-dense that provide the body with a high-quality, clean energy that helps the engine run better. These foods not only give the body more energy for immediate use, they also help to boost the metabolism and help burn off some of the existing fat stores in the body.<span id="more-1208"></span><br />
<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Diamonds are&#8230; Water Is a Guy/Girl&#8217;s Best Friend<br />
</strong><br />
Most people like to start out their day with a cup of liquid energy: coffee. Unfortunately, this energy source is not the best option for reducing waistlines and toning the muscles. Caffeine acts as a diuretic which and strips the body of its water supply. Instead of a slimming effect, coffee will actually force the body to hold onto the little amount of water that it has left. This causes puffiness and bloating to the skin. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day will reduce bloating, eliminate food cravings, and boost the metabolism.</p>
<p><strong>Get That Body Moving!</strong></p>
<p>The food the body takes in will definitely have an impact on the way that it looks. However, it is exercise that truly contours and shapes the muscles and body. There is no need to spend hours on end tiring one&#8217;s self out each day. Soon-to-be beach goers can get their bodies in shape through short, intense exercise regimes of about fifteen to twenty minutes each day. Cardio exercises will get the heart rate up and help to burn calories. Strength training will tone and sculpt the muscles of the body, and helps to suck in troubled midsections. Those who commit to both sets of exercises will be certain to carve out better shapes for their bodies in time for summer.</p>
<p><strong>Take Time to Do a Little Buff and Shine<br />
</strong><br />
What good is a nice trim body do someone if they have dull, lifeless skin? A good number of people neglect their skin on a daily basis, and they have the dry skin to prove it. By taking a little extra time to exfoliate and moisturize the skin, the muscles underneath be even more appealing. Start by using an exfoliate to slough off dead skin cells. Sugar, rice, or salt scrubs can all gently remove debris from the skin without damaging living cells. Skin will not only appear more golden and refreshed, it will also be able to retain and absorb moisture with greater ease. Using a moisturizing soap that doesn&#8217;t strip the body of its natural oils will provide skin with additional moisture and allow for the existing moisture to remain in place. Soft, moisturized skin will be sure to give any beach body that extra glow.</p>
<p><strong>Get Plenty of Rest<br />
</strong><br />
Believe it or not, a relatively healthy body will pack on unwanted pounds if it is suffering from sleep deprivation. In order to avoid this be sure to get a good night&#8217;s rest each night. This will reduce potential levels of stress, and give the body what it needs to work off any unwanted baggage.</p>
<p>The summer is fast approaching, and the time is now to get ready for it. Regardless of one&#8217;s size or shape, this summer&#8217;s trip to the beach is the time to show it off.</p>

<div class='embaArticle' style='display:inline'><p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1179" title="skin-exercise" src="http://chickandfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/skin-exercise.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="229" />You probably already know how wonderful exercise is for your body. We are inundated with information on how keeping active can improve our health as well as our shape. However, there is another benefit of exercise that doesn&#8217;t get as much attention: better skin. <span id="more-1177"></span></p>
<p>That&#8217;s right. The solution to your skin problems could lie in something as simple as a few walks around the block or trips to the gym.</p>
<p><strong>Better Circulation Means a Better Complexion</strong></p>
<p>Moving your body causes increased blood flow and this can have a profound effect on your skin. The improvement in circulation that comes along with exercise helps nutrients travel through your blood and reach your skin. It also makes it easier for free radicals and other unpleasantries to be carried away. This extra bit of nourishment can make the difference between clogged, polluted skin and clear, luminous skin.</p>
<p>The benefits of exercise on skin don&#8217;t stop there. As you may know, exercise is a great way to reduce stress.  Because stress is also linked to acne, it&#8217;s accurate to conclude that regular exercise can help keep stress-related acne at bay. This can also help keep eczema flare-ups to a minimum.</p>
<p>Any type of cardiovascular exercise can help your skin. Going for a walk, running, cycling, or aerobics classes are all great ways to get your blood flowing. While weight training is an important part of being fit as well, it&#8217;s cardiovascular exercise that can put you on the road toward flawless skin. As an added benefit, working out tends to make you thirsty, and drinking extra water compounds the benefits to your skin.</p>
<p>Is Exercise Ever Bad For Your Skin?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not all rainbows and butterflies when it comes to working out to improve skin health. There are a few things to keep in mind if you want to reap the benefits of exercise for your skin without doing more harm than good. If you prefer to exercise outdoors, it&#8217;s vital that you wear a generous layer of sweat-proof sunscreen. Unprotected exposure to the sun is so harmful for your skin that it will undo any of the complexion-related benefits that exercise can offer. Choose oil-free sunscreen if your skin is acne-prone or work out in the early morning or evening to avoid the most harmful rays.</p>
<p>Another thing to watch out for is body acne. If you are prone to breakouts on your chest or back, choose workout clothes that are made of cotton so that your skin can breathe. You should also change in to clean, dry clothes as soon as your workout has ended so sweat doesn&#8217;t sit on your skin. Be sure to exfoliate your arms, chest, and back regularly so that acne-causing bacteria won&#8217;t have a good place to breed.</p>
<p>In case you didn&#8217;t already have enough motivation to exercise, now you can add good-looking skin to the list. It isn&#8217;t necessary to become a gym rat if you want to get great skin. Simply walking or swimming for a half hour a few times a week can be enough to boost your circulation and help your complexion.</p>

<p>So you&#8217;re a gym rat, but you aren&#8217;t quite seeing the results that you wanted to, or maybe expected to? You&#8217;re running, you&#8217;re lifting, you&#8217;re doing yoga &#8211; but maybe you aren&#8217;t prepping your body the way that you should be in order to really reap the benefits, and feel the impact.<span id="more-1148"></span></p>
<h3 id="toc-interval-train">Interval Train</h3>
<p>So, you&#8217;re running at the gym, whether it&#8217;s treadmill, track or elliptical. But <em>how</em> are you running? Are you just running slow and steady or are you exploding and then resting, over and over? It really is evident that interval training is much better for your fitness &#8211; and much more effective. On average, if you spend 15 to 20 minutes interval training, you&#8217;ll burn the same amount of calories that you would burn running steadily for an hour on the treadmill. Plus &#8211; interval training will stay with your body (and your metabolism) longer than running at a steady pace.</p>
<h3 id="toc-dont-forget-about-your-core">Don&#8217;t Forget About Your Core</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;re sitting at a desk all day, slouching in front of your computer, you&#8217;ve probably not only got flabby abs, but a weak core (and no, your &#8220;core&#8221; is <em>not</em> just your abs, but an entire system of muscles). And so many of us when we exercise, no matter what we are doing forget to engage our core muscles.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s amazing if you actually keep your core engaged when you&#8217;re working out how much more&#8230;well, difficult&#8230;it makes the exercise. But the burn is so much more rewarding! Engaging your core muscles is <em>not</em> just for sit-ups or crunches.</p>
<h3 id="toc-do-push-ups">Do Push Ups</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s amazing what one little exercise can do. Push ups are probably one of the greatest exercises that you can do to engage and move your entire body &#8211; but, of course, only if you keep proper form &#8211; no hip sagging or arching your back &#8211; everything in a straight line!</p>
<h3 id="toc-drink-chocolate-milk">Drink Chocolate Milk</h3>
<p>Yes, really &#8211; though wait to imbibe this sweet drink until after your workout is complete. Chocolate milk has basically everything that your body needs after a workout &#8211; fat, carbs and protein (plus a little sugar) will help you build muscle, recover and not get too sore.</p>
<h3 id="toc-dont-stretch">Don&#8217;t Stretch!</h3>
<p>Yes, you heard me right &#8211; don&#8217;t stretch! Stretching done just before an activity can actually reduce your power output and increase your risk for injury. You are still going to want to warm your body up, though &#8211; so instead of stretching you&#8217;re going to want to do some simple body weight movements that will get your muscles warmed up without overtaxing yourself before you even get started.</p>
<p><em>Jackie Ryan is a freelance writer who does her best to hit that <a href="http://www.commercialmatsandrubber.com/Gym-Flooring-c8.html">gym flooring</a> and train with proper form, but knows that exercise isn&#8217;t always that easy for some. It&#8217;s all about finding the <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/exercise/HQ01676">exercise</a> that works the best for you &#8211; whatever that may mean.</em></p>

It would be sheer bliss if one day, you can finally say goodbye to those upper arms which look like flags when you wave them about.<span id="more-1070"></span></p>
<p>There are some <strong>fitness tips</strong> which can help you achieve a toned body without looking as if you&#8217;re competing for a bodybuilding title. Here&#8217;s how to tone your body without the unwanted bulk.</p>
<p><strong>Lift Those Weights</strong></p>
<p>You wouldn&#8217;t have to strain yourself with weights, because you&#8217;ll only need light weights. The key is in doing many repetitions. Your goal should be to do four or five sets of 15-20 reps each.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll only need a couple of light dumbbells, and you&#8217;re good to go.</p>
<p>Do exercises which use your own body weight as resistance. Without any extra equipment, you can tone your body by doing push-ups, lunges, squats, and pull-ups. If you don&#8217;t feel like heading off for the gym in tight spandex, you can do these exercises in the comfort of your living room. Just be sure to keep the blinds drawn, just to stave off those nosy neighbors.</p>
<p><strong>Stick to a Regular Cardio Schedule</strong></p>
<p>Stick to a regular cardio schedule, most especially if you&#8217;re a bit overweight. Your toned muscles will never see the light of day underneath all that fat, so you have to continue burning those through cardio exercises. Slash down calories from your daily diet and burn as much calories as you can through regular cardio.</p>
<p>Pick a cardio workout which suits your fancy. It could be running, biking or swimming. Any exercise which will get your heart pumping is a good form of cardio.</p>
<p><strong>Get into Pilates or Yoga</strong></p>
<p>These are known for the muscle-toning effect they give to your body. If you regularly do these, you will develop a long and lean look. <strong>Cardio kickboxing</strong> is another excellent form of exercise which tones muscles without adding bulk.  Punching, kicking, jabbing and jumping all do an effective job.</p>
<p><strong>Stretch Yourself</strong></p>
<p>After every workout, do not forget to do some stretching. More than protecting your body from injury, stretching helps elongate your muscles.</p>
<p><strong>Quit Smoking!</strong></p>
<p>I know, I know, that&#8217;s easier to say than to do. I used to be a smoker as well. Here&#8217;s a way to do that: e-cigarettes! And here are a few <a href="http://www.ecig.org/Green-Smoke-Review-Coupon-Codes.html">Green Smoke Coupon Codes</a> for you to save as well!</p>
<p>A combination of cardio exercises and resistance training will help tone your body without bulking up. With a toned body, you can still slip into that sexy black dress without looking over-the-top muscular. You can save the Incredible Bulk look for Halloween, thank you!</p>

<div class='embaArticle' style='display:inline'><p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1067" title="energy-drink-exercise" src="http://chickandfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/energy-drink-exercise.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="270" />Energy drinks are, to many people, something of a mystery. Though some of the health issues surrounding these beverages have received a fair amount of attention in the media, to a large extent people are still unaware of exactly what it is they are drinking, and the effects this could potentially have on them.<span id="more-1063"></span></p>
<p>Sadly, people who are oblivious to the health risks attached to such products often assume that, rather than being dangerous, they are in some way healthy. After all, as these drinks are supposedly designed to give consumers an extra boost of energy, it isn’t hard to see how a person might come to associate the product with exercise, and therefore see a link between the product and increased physical fitness. This logic is dangerously flawed.</p>
<p>After seeing some high profile cases of fatal accidents caused by people drinking alcohol and energy drinks simultaneously, most people are, thankfully, now aware that mixing booze with these beverages is a bad idea. Unfortunately, far fewer people are aware that mixing exercise and energy drinks is also a cocktail to be avoided. If anything, people still tend to associate the two.</p>
<p>Indeed, this seems, unsurprisingly, to be an association that drinks companies are more than willing to reinforce. Take, for instance one famous energy drink manufacturer, Red Bull. They spend a huge amount of money sponsoring professional athletes who are in great health, especially those who participate in activities that appeal to young, image conscious people. Mountain biking, wake boarding and skate boarding are a few examples, but more conventional sports are also covered.</p>
<p>However, despite the image often manufacturers seek to foster through such sponsorship deals, energy drinks and strenuous physical activity are not at all a good match. This is because of the extremely high levels caffeine they usually contain.</p>
<p>To say that these drinks are high in caffeine, is not just an understatement, it’s technically a falsehood. Why? Because these products are so high in caffeine they can’t in fact be legally classified as a ‘food stuff’, so in the eyes of the law they are not strictly ‘drinks’ at all.</p>
<p>The US Food and Drug administration limits drinks to containing 71mg of caffeine per 12 fluid ounces. However, as energy drinks are categorised as ‘nutritional supplements’, they are able to ignore this rule completely. As a result, some contain as much as 400mg of caffeine per a container.  This is without counting the additional caffeine that can come from other ingredients that are often included, such as the increasingly popular gurana. Even if caffeine is listed as an ingredient, and it isn’t always, the additional caffeine from these sources won’t be tallied in. It’s worth bearing in mind that gurana can contain up to 40mg of caffeine per a gram.</p>
<p>Caffeine is, of course, a diuretic. This means that, when consumed, it causes your kidneys to start removing fluid from your body. This, in of itself, can be enough to make you feel dehydrated. If you are also losing fluids through sweat due to exercising, there is a real risk that you will rapidly become dangerously dehydrated.</p>
<p>To fight dehydration when exercising you should drink either water, or sports drinks, which contain minerals and electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium and chloride, all of which are lost through sweating.</p>
<p>It’s very important not to get confused between energy drinks and sports drinks. In an effort to associate their product with the world of fitness, energy drinks companies tailor their marketing to match those of sports drinks. For example, they will often use similar packaging, both types of drinks are often brightly coloured and they can even have a similar taste.</p>
<p>However, these products are very different. Whilst energy drinks will dehydrate you, sports drinks do the opposite. Whereas energy drinks contain huge amounts of simple sugars, which will give you a sudden energy peak, followed by a huge crash, sports drinks contain 6-8% carbohydrates, providing actual fuel for your muscles to burn.</p>
<p>Always make sure to check the list of ingredients before buying a drink to aid your workout, as it is easy for confusion to arise over the intended purpose of a beverage.</p>

<div class='embaArticle' style='display:inline'><p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1065" title="pregnancy-exercise" src="http://chickandfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pregnancy-exercise-256x300.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="300" />Pregnancy brings so many changes that, when you’ve all sorts of important things to think about, maintaining your regular fitness regime is probably one of the last things on your mind.<span id="more-1064"></span></p>
<p>If, like most of us, you find getting enough exercise a case of mind over matter, the idea of keeping it up at a time when your body may feel strange and unfamiliar is probably not all that appealing. On top of this, even women who are all too keen to keep active can feel nervous about doing so, unsure as to whether it could have any adverse affect on their baby.</p>
<p>Whilst it’s certainly true that pregnancy will lead to you taking things a bit easier, especially if you are a fitness enthusiast, it doesn’t mean you have to stop all together. However, there are a few things you’ll want to avoid;</p>
<p>Doing any form of work out that requires you to lie on your back is a bad idea, especially after 16 weeks. This is because the downward pressure from your bump against your blood vessels can make you feel faint. Likewise, sports where there is a risk of taking a big hit, or a fall should be taken off the agenda.</p>
<p>The adventurous amongst you should also be aware that both great depths and great heights can be harmful to your baby. Don’t go diving, as your baby has no protection form conditions caused by decompression and, unless you’re already acclimatised, avoiding doing exercise anywhere 2,500m higher than sea level.</p>
<p>When it comes to less exotic activities a good general rule to follow is not to do anything so strenuous that you can’t keep up a conversation at the same time. Be wary of becoming breathless and, to avoid dehydration, take it easy when the weather is warmer, taking on plenty of fluids.</p>
<p>Try and keep active everyday if you can, even if it’s only a half hour walk. One great activity to take up whilst pregnant is swimming. This is because your bump will be supported by the water, indeed many pools may have special aquanatal exercise classes that you can attend.</p>
<p>As well as regular exercise, there are specialist exercises you should try and work into your routine which are specifically designed to make pregnancy easier. Certain activates that can strengthen your stomach muscles and pelvic floor can end up making the process of giving birth much easier and also ease the back pain of most pregnant women experience.</p>
<p>One great exercise for your stomach muscles can be performed by kneeling down on all fours, with your knees beneath your hips and your arms very slightly bent (the point being not to lock your elbows.) Next, raise your stomach up towards the ceiling, allowing your trunk to curl, whilst your head hangs forward, relaxed.</p>
<p>Once in this position try and hold it for three seconds or so, before slowly using your muscles to lower your stomach back into the starting position. It’s important not to simply release and flop back down. Nor should you hollow your back. Try and repeat 10 the movement times, going as far with each rep as you think you can manage.</p>
<p>Another equally simple, but very effective exercise you can make part of your daily life is this pelvic routine; Stand with your shoulders and buttocks against the wall, keeping your knees relaxed (i.e. not locked up.) Next, pull your stomach in towards your spine, causing your back to flatten against the wall. This time, try to hold the position for at least four seconds before releasing. Repeat this process, if possible, ten times.</p>
<p>Finally, it is important to remember that considering everything that comes with pregnancy, you won’t always be able to get these exercises done, for one reason or another. The thing to remember is that, even if you don’t quite have time for the suggested number of reps for some reason, doing something is always better than doing nothing. If you don’t get a chance in the day, just do a couple of reps of one of the routines described before going to bed.</p>
<p>Keeping up the habit of being active will really help you get back into the swing of things once your baby is born!</p>

<div class='embaArticle' style='display:inline'><p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-995" title="look-younger" src="http://chickandfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/look-younger.jpg" alt="" width="184" height="240" />Ask any 40 or 50 year old woman what her number one wish is, and she&#8217;ll probably give you the popular &#8216;to look younger&#8217; answer. Aging is a natural process, and none of us are immune from getting older; but who says we have to look our age?<span id="more-994"></span></p>
<p>Here are some things we can do every day in order to look and feel at least 10 years younger, always, no matter what our chronological age:</p>
<p>1)      <strong>Drink Water</strong>: Keeping yourself hydrated is one of the best ways to keep your skin looking young and fresh. You should aim for at least six 8 oz. glasses a day.</p>
<p>2)      <strong>Exercise</strong>: With a daily exercise routine, you&#8217;ll have an abundance of energy and be able to keep up with those half your age. Bones, muscles, and skin will stay strong and healthy. Just 30 minutes a day is all you need.</p>
<p>3)      <strong>Eat Right</strong>: Your diet matters immensely in terms of how your skin looks and feels. Vegetables and fruits are vitally important not only for your health, but for your outer beauty. Spinach, peppers, berries and pomegranate are among the superior fruits and veggies.</p>
<p>4)      <strong>Quality Skin Care</strong>: You don&#8217;t have to spend hundreds of dollars on a skin care line, but you should invest in a cleanser, toner and moisturizer at the very least. Find brands that use natural ingredients and are not harmful to your skin, or the environment.</p>
<p>5)      <strong>Stay out of the Sun</strong>: Too much sun exposure can cause premature lines and wrinkles. If you do go out, make sure you are protected with sunscreen; don&#8217;t forget to wear your hat!</p>
<p>6)      <strong>Get a New Hairstyle</strong>: It&#8217;s amazing what a new hairstyle can do for you! A simple cut and color can do wonders for your look, and your self-esteem.</p>
<p>7)      <strong>Moisturize and Exfoliate</strong>: It&#8217;s important to moisturize your skin (not just your face) and exfoliate to get rid of those dead skin cells. Your skin will be brighter and smoother.</p>
<p>8)      <strong>Anti-Aging Creams</strong>: Again, there is no need to spend hundreds of dollars; most drug stores carry quality creams at reasonable prices. They can visibly reduce the look of lines and wrinkles with regular use.</p>
<p>9)      <strong>Natural Facials</strong>: Weekly facials will give your skin a young, fresh appearance and keep those wrinkles at bay. Oatmeal and honey are among the top ingredients for great home facials. Do some research online to get some home remedies. Many times you can use every day ingredients from your kitchen, such as lemons and cucumbers,  to whip up a facial for great results.</p>
<p>10)  <strong>Get enough Sleep</strong>: If you are constantly suffering from lack of sleep due to insomnia, stress or other issues, it can affect not only how feel, but how you look. You&#8217;ll have dark circles under your eyes, and they will appear puffy; your skin will look dull and gray. Get some <a href="http://divatoolbox.com/family/traveling-by-car-with-a-kid-what-you-should-know-about-infant-car-seat-safety.html">rest</a>! Try going to bed a bit earlier and devise a night-time routine that will help you fall asleep.</p>
