Tone Up!
Yesterday you stretched out your lower back. Now it’s time to strengthen it with Back Extensions. Lie on your stomach with your forehead on the floor, arms straight out in front of you, palms down, and legs straight. Pull your abs in. Lift your right arm and left leg about one inch off the floor, and stretch out as much as you can. Hold this position for five slow counts, lower back down, and then repeat with your left arm and right leg. Continue alternating sides until you've complete 8-15 repetitions each side. Do 2-3 sets.
Get Active!
At least once a day run through this mental posture checklist while you are walking: Your head should be perfectly centered between shoulders; your abdominals should feel engaged and your back should maintain a natural yet relaxed curve; power leg movements from hips by bending your forward knee slightly upon impact; strike heel first then roll through heel-ball-toe; take deep, regular breaths. There is no better way to burn fat and work on your body alignment at the same time. And bonus: having good posture makes you look instantly thinner.
Look Great!
Are you a Baller, Paddy or Splasher? Some people apply our 100% Natural Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner with a cotton ball. Some prefer using a thin cotton pad. Some love to splash it on and massage it in with their hands. Which one are you?
