Fitness:Yoga workouts
Yoga is a means to access your wisdom, to reach that level of spiritual knowledge which will help you make real the life you truly want. Even if it may take you some time at the beginning, after you learn some essential tips, a method of yoga relaxation will be as natural for you as getting up in the morning or brushing your teeth.
One important tip is to find a place where you can exercise, a place like sanctuary, far from the other members of the family. You must be relaxed, on a chair or on a cushion on the floor, and you mustn’t move. Close your eyes and your hands must be oriented with the palms upwards. This position helps you increase your energy, letting the energy of the universe flow through your body. Firstly you must relax your muscles; you must focus upon each muscle, from the head to the fingers, then to the toes. Relax everything even your facial muscles, as muscles keep tension and stressful thoughts. When you relax them, you release tensions. If it is difficult for you to imagine all the muscles, take first an anatomy book, with colorful images and study them so that you can imagine them during a yoga session.
At the beginning it might take you half an hour or more, but after you get used to it, it won’t be a problem for you.
Any yoga session begins with breathing exercises, with deep breathing. This is an efficient way to become calm, relaxed, and focused and to keep the connection between your mind and your body.
After that, it is recommended to start a meditation session based on the thoughts which cross your clean mind and which usually are related to the problem you want to solve.
If you are able, while you are focused, to identify a problem, to interpret it and to get rid of it, you may identify negative stereotypes of your life and you can broke them forever. After that the balance of your mind and body will be reestablished, and you even may think positively upon your future, increasing your positive energy.

Fitness:Six pack abs
The Bicycle: This is a slow, fluid movement that stimulates your abdominal muscle and obliques by crunching and twisting and alternately extending your legs. This may sound a little confusing, but remember that all 4 limbs should be moving at the same time. Lying on your back with your hands behind your head, contract your abs and lift your shoulders off the floor. Slightly twist your torso and point your right elbow towards your left knee as you?re lifting your left knee up until it forms a 45-degree bend (your leg should remain slightly bent). Slowly twist your torso to point your left elbow towards your right knee as you lower your left leg and lift your right knee until it forms a 45-degree angle. Hold the extended leg off the floor until you bring it back to the 45-degree bend. Do as many as you can and go as slow as possible.
Crunch: the crunch can still be a great exercise to include with other abdominal workout. Try variations to the regular crunch to stimulate your muscles differently for better results. Lying on your back, rest your left foot on your right knee and crunch your right elbow towards your left knee. Repeat with the opposite side. Using an exercise ball while crunching is another way to stimulate your abs a little differently and you?ll also use other trunk stabilizing muscles to maintain your balance.
Reverse Crunch: as the name implies, this is performed by crunching the lower portion of the abdominal muscles up towards your chest. Start by lying on your back on the floor with your hands at your sides for balance. You knees should be bent at a 90-degree angle and your upper thighs should be perpendicular to your body. Keep your hip joint and knees in this position throughout the movement. Slowly roll your hips and legs off the floor and flex your lower spine to raise your lower back off the floor. Think about lifting your hips off the floor using your abs and avoid "jerking" into motion and using momentum to complete the exercise. Slow controlled movements will limit risk of injury and give your abs a great workout. This is an advanced exercise and using proper form is important for the effectiveness and to limit injury. Moving your hip joint and knees puts stress to the lower back and should be avoided.
