How To Stay Fit When You’re Stuck Behind A Desk All Day

How To Stay Fit When You’re Stuck Behind A Desk All Day

 

Whether you want to admit it or not, full time job from 9AM to 5PM is the reality for most of us. Usually, you’re working overtime, so instead of regular eight, you’re staying more than ten hours at work. Of course you will earn more money if you work more, but there are also some disadvantages included. Most of the time spent on your job you’re probably sitting. Even if you move from time to time, you’re restricted to a couple of rooms.  Most frequent movements are walking between short distances such as your working spot to the printer, your colleague’s desk or going to the head office for some reason. The consequence of this way of life is definitely overweight.

If you wonder is there a solution, of course there is. With a little discipline you’ll be able to stay fit even if you’re if you want to keep your office job for many years.

Morning and evening workout

Get up a little bit earlier. We’re not saying you should change your morning rituals like taking a shower or drinking a coffee. However, there’s another, more effective way to wake you up. Do some stretching exercises just before you get out of bed. You’ll feel better and have enough positive energy to start your day. We know hard it is in the beginning, but once it becomes your habit, it will be no problem at all. It’s easier to exercise with your friends. First of all, this is a great opportunity to see your friends in the first place and talk with them about what’s new, while you’re doing some easy evening workout.

So You Want To Become A Beauty Therapist?

People often see this as a glamorous job option, and do not take into account that it is actually exceptionally hard and tiring work. You can be on your feet all day and if you are not having a particularly bright and breezy day yourself it is tiring having to be outwardly sociable and friendly for your clients. It can however be a very satisfying career choice for many people so here are some things to think about if you are considering it.

How To Get Your Foot In The Door:

There are various ways to become a Beauty Therapist. If you are just starting out in your working life, you might consider an apprenticeship. These will teach you the skills that you need in order to be successful in your chosen career. For more specific information on apprenticeships visit http://www.apprenticeships.org.uk. Alternatively, find yourself a position within a spa or salon where they are happy to provide on the job training and pay towards the qualifications that you will need. On top of the more standard Diplomas in Beauty Therapy many salons are also happy to send you on more specialised training such as teeth whitening courses or epilation techniques. Another option is to send yourself on the relevant courses and then go mobile allowing you to dictate your own hours and services.

Why Would You Want To Be A Beautician?

There are a few reasons that come to mind for wanting to be a beautician. First and foremost for me I think is the fact that it makes other people feel good about themselves. Having a part in something like that leads to huge job satisfaction and you end up spending a lot of time around very happy people. Another reason for being a beautician is that it allows you to show off some of your creative skills if it is hairdressing, makeup or nails that you might specialise in. At the cutting edge of the industry there can be an element of being an artist, and creative talent is appreciated.

The Beauty and the Bride

Healthy habits go a long way in maintaining the skin, hair and weight. If you are a health conscious chick, you probably are quite prepared for your upcoming wedding already. However these few homemade skincare tips can really celebrate and enhance your beauty even more. While for my more relaxed and not-so-health conscious brides to be, these are your miracle tools to achieve that flawless skin on the wedding day.

Our kitchen contains such magical ingredients that can whip up effective and efficient potions for skincare and bodycare much better and cheaper than most cosmetic products available in the market. Incorporate a few of these in your pre-bridal routine and watch the results for yourself.

  • Have you heard it enough already? Well maybe you should really start following it now. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. It will flush out all your toxins and hydrate your skin and giving you a natural dewy skin that will make any make-up glow on your luminescent skin.

  • The cleanse, tone and moisturize cannot be emphasized on enough. However another skincare ritual that must be incorporated in your skin care regime is scrubbing once in three days at least. A great homemade scrub is your oatmeal. Boil and mash some oats, mix it with a teaspoon of lemon juice and apply evenly on the face and neck. Let it dry for 20 minutes and then run your fingers in a circular motion on the mask before washing it off. Regularly doing this for a month will give you a more even and glowing skin.

Get Smart About Liposuction

pexels-anna-shvets-4483336 Liposuction Cosmetic Surgery

If you’re thinking about receiving cosmetic surgery, you’re not alone.  It is a booming industry and from the impact it’s made so far, it looks like this industry isn’t going anywhere!  People that have received plastic surgery, their reasons vary from person to person.  Some want to look a little younger, while others merely want their body to be proportioned.  However, if you’re considering Liposuction, rest assured that it is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the business. 

Many people – men and women – are turning towards this procedure to help them rid of undesirable fat.  Stubborn fat that they cannot seem to lose in a particular part of their body no matter what they try.  But is this surgery right for you?  You may have pondered on this question yourself and sometimes it’s hard to really know whether or not it is.  But the first step in answering the question is to know all the facts.

Basic Facts

  • Just like every surgery, there are risks.  However, so far, this surgery is safe
  • Extremely short recovery time
  • Produces immediate results
  • This type of plastic procedure is for people who have tried other ways to lose the extra fat

What It Isn’t

Many people get confused and think this surgery is for weight loss.  It’s a myth!  This surgery is NOT a weight loss procedure! What this specific type of procedure does is removes fat from areas of the body that are unpleasing to the general shape due to genetics, weight gain from medication and other factors.  If you’re looking for weight loss surgery, look into Gastric Bypass or Lap-Band.

Common Places of Interest

  • Abdomen
  • Back
  • Chest
  • Outer Thighs
  • Inner Thighs
  • Hip Rolls

Pricing & Payment Methods

Sometimes it’s not the question of whether or not you want to go through with Liposuction that stops you from receiving it, it’s the cost.  Yes, the pricing can be steep and varies from location to location.  What is recommended is to do your homework on plastic surgeons and narrow them down to three.  Then schedule consultations with each one of them and compare the quotes each plastic surgeon gave you.

However, don’t base your decision solely on the cheapest price.  Keep in mind that old saying “You get what you pay for”.  You should base your decision on the plastic surgeon you felt the strongest rapport with.  Even if their price is the highest – in the end – it’ll be worth paying that extra two thousand dollars for peace of mind.  You never want to have surgery done by someone who you don’t have that connection with.

The Diet Debunker

Well the diet that worked for me was the fast diet ! This was a diet where I picked 2 days when I would max out at 600 calories or FAST on thos days. So be careful which ones to pick. I chose Monday (as they are already bad) and thursday as you dont want to days back to back. But here me the reason this diet works so well is that you get to eat normally on all the other days so it is very manageable. Most diets fail because they are ANTI human !
