Get strong by squatting

Ever know that you will get strong by squatting?

Yes, the answer is definitely.

So, get yourself familiarized with the exercise below.

-Stand about 1.5 feet away from a wall.
-Feet apart as wide as your hips.
-With your weight on your heels.
-Lean back slightly until your shoulders and upperback touch the wall.
-Now slowly lower yourself down (as if you were to sit on a chair),until your thighs are parallel with the ground or until your legs form a 90 degree angle.
-In the seated position, your back-from the shoulder blades to the lower rib cage should lightly rest agaist the wall.
-Hold this position as long as you can, stand back up and repeat.

Once you have mastered the form, kick it up a notch by adding resistance with hand weights.

Try Yoga


I know apparently that when night time nerves keep you awake, your days can be long.

I faced the problem for years, it's really a bitter suffering. I know you tried sleeping pills as I did, but you are not doomed to sleepless nights until your anxiety eases.

Suffering from insomnia for so many years, I have tried all ways and even with sleeping pills can still make me alert. I thought I was doomed to that in my life until I try YOGA.

It's really true that the most effective sleeping pill is the peace of mind. Yet, there are so much things that made us so stress that we just couldn't free our mind.

Try yoga, trust me.

Yoga is a moving form meditation that triggers body relaxation response and lowers stress levels. It can melt stress away as a natural stress buster.

Beside this, it will also improve overall strength including upper and lower body strength. I have now become very interested in yoga as it let me stay more flexible and supple that in turn helped me avoid much of the tightness and pains. It has helped to reduce my stress and I am able to focus my mind better.

So, go and try the yoga. I am sure you will love it.
