Demonstration on how a lot of girls probably achieve the beloved “thigh gap”.
Push your hips back, knees slightly apart. Tada, you have now given hundreds of girls a delusional hatred for their body amd made them think something is seriously wrong with them just because their thighs touch.

Everyone signal boost the fuck out of this ok

My mum’s gym instructor gave me for a 10 minute stomach work out, that can be done any where, any time. 

I did it this morning and I can really feel it doing something, so I thought I’d share it with the tumblr world, in case any one was interested in stuff like that :P

Basically, the first two are what’s called ‘The Plank’. You hold yourself up with your arms up to your elbows touching the floor, keeping your body straight and off the ground. Do this for a minute if you can. (longer or shorter depending on how hard it is). Then the second is exactly the same, but on your side, so do each side for a minute too.

Then ‘The Crunch’, which is almost a sit up, but not all the way up, so it’s just a slight movement, but still works just as well. Do about 20 of these. Then stay in the same position, but aim to draw your left elbow to your right knee, without moving your legs, and vice versa. Do 20 of these too.

Finally, ‘Leg Lowers’. Lay on your back, but supporting yourself with your elbows and forearms so you are not all the way on the floor. Then slowly lower your legs as close to the floor as you can, then bring them back up to your chest. 20 of these :) Then ‘Bicycles’. Put your hands behind your heads, and kind of hover on your bum, so your back and legs are off the ground. Then twist your right elbow towards the left knee, and vice versa. Do 20 of these too.

This really worked on my amateur stomach. And if my explanations aren’t very good, I am sure there will be better ones on google somewhere. 

Combine this with a 20 minute jog, and it feels like a good workout. :)

2. Make it fun: Try and choose something that you like to do as you’ll give up quickly if it’s drudgery.

3. Build exercise into your daily routine: Finding time can be hard – and…

The Secret to Happiness

“Science has found the key to happiness—and it’s not a big, fat paycheck. Instead, making a good, respectable name for yourself leads to the most satisfaction, according to a new study in Psychological Science.

Researchers surveyed 80 college students on their happiness levels, then calculated the students’ levels of “respect” through peer ratings, and how many leadership positions the students held. And after researchers also asked the students about income, the old saying held true: Money didn’t make them happy—respect did.

You can adjust to financial fluctuations, say researchers, but losing the respect of others is a detriment to self-esteem, and it’s harder to re-build. So how can you be the person everyone looks up to? Here’s how some big—and certainly well-respected—names made it to the very top.

Make It a Two-Way Street
Donald Trump, chairman and president of The Trump Organization
For The Donald, respect works both ways: “Acknowledge someone with respect, and it’s much more likely they will respect you,” he says. Seems easy enough, but when it comes to workplace politics, it’s hard to lose sight of the big picture.

Steal Trump’s trick: Be honest—and be open to others’ honesty. “It includes being blunt at times, but I think it’s appreciated,” says the host of The Apprentice. Plus, employers see better performance from employees when they treat team members with honesty and respect, finds research from North Carolina State University.

Communication Is Key
Maria Rodale, CEO and chairman of Rodale, Inc.
She’s the chairman and CEO of the largest independent publisher left in America. (And our boss!) Today, Rodale continues to work to be a trusted source of health, fitness, and wellness information. The first step to keeping your brand respectable? Believing in yourself, she says. Step two: Setting firm goals and following through.

“You can never demand respect, but you earn it by being clear and firm with your expectations.” And she’s on to something. Communication is one of the most important things in the workplace, according to a study by Missouri State University. A newsletter, bulletin board, or weekly face-to-face meeting to discuss goals and progress mean a lot in the long run.

Remember Your Roots
John Mackey, co-CEO of Whole Foods Market
Instead of hyperfocusing on other people, look to yourself, says this supermarket guru, who is now one of the most influential advocates in the organic food movement—a hard thing to stick to in an environment where mass-produced items are the easy way out.

“I think respect works the other way around,” Mackey says. “Remaining true to my purpose and values has had the unintended consequence of usually getting and keeping the respect of others.” Makes sense: Masking your true identity, or being who you think others want you to be, leads to lower job satisfaction, says a study published in Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology.” - Women’s Health Mag
