Good Form Can Go a Long Way

A few thing that I have learned over the years.

First most people who lift think that their way is the best way I feel that this is simply not true it may be for them but everyone is different! As a lifter I have seen a lot of people start out lifting with very bad habits and poor form!

It is key to learn proper form to keep you health and as pain free as possible I think once you understand the movements of your body and good form you can tackle any workout. I would encourage everyone to pickup a fitness magazine and really read it you can get a lot of good information on workout routines tips and tricks but remember it is hard to teach yourself proper form.

I think for some reason our brain does not register that we are swinging the weight or we trick ourselves into thinking we are doing and exercise properly. If you are able to work with someone that you have confidence in to teach you proper form that is the best place to start and then you can learn what workout is Best suited for your body and its ability!

DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts

I absolutely love these! I love decorating for Halloween, I have to say it is my favorite holiday. I don't think you can have enough decorations up! So when I found this DIY project I just had to share! DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts You can find styrofoam mannequin heads at wig shots. They normally can stand on their necks but for this project you need to suspend them to let the cloth flow freely. Materials: Cheesecloth Styrofoam mannequin heads Sponge brush Watered-down glue or fabric stiffener Screw eyes Monofilament Removable adhesive hooks (like command brand or painters tape). Steps: Apply a layer of cheesecloth to the head, then generously brush over head and face with glue. Use hands to smooth the cloth into the facial features.

Here are some exercises you can do at home with one or at the gym if they have them. To do all the exercises below it will take 45-60 minutes you wanna do 10-15 reps of each exercise and 3-4 sets. Are you ready? Lets go! Bosu ball plank: It is pretty much like a regular plank except you keep your body higher and it forces you to use more muscles in your body to maintain stability.
