Your skin is the largest organ of you body. I knew that and could quote it from a textbook perspective but never really gave it much practical thought. Funny how things change as you get older.
Your skin eats…or absorbs whatever you put on it. I had no idea that all of the perfumed lotions and sprays that I loved so much (I even had my own signature scent), and the cleaning prodcts that I never wore gloves with, all penetrated my skin and got into my blood stream causing who knows what kind of havoc in my body. What are you feeding your skin?

As a fitness trainer, I get a lot of questions regarding “What exercises are best for ______” fill in the blank.
Most women and many men share a common area of concern: The lower body; specifically the rear and thighs. No one can top Squats, Lunges and Deadlifts to train the lower body. But there are many variations of those exercises. Today I’m going to share my current favorite lower body exercise and all of its awesome variations. It’s called the Rear-Foot Elevated Lunge Variation (a.k.a. Bulgarian Split Squat). This exercise is so effective that you’ll pretty much make your body thunder-thigh proof once you master it!
