Instagram pages I recommend!

Hey guys, Instagram has been a great inspiration for me and I find myself on the social media platform a lot these days so I thought I'd share three instagram pages that I like to follow and inspire me the most:

1) lady_steph_fitlife 24.9K followers
She is so inspirational! She is on insta due to her Herbalife business but I follow her for inspiration. I do not purchase Herbalife products and she herself does not even say you have to take the products to have a life. She went from working a 9-to-5 job to buying a life and taking control of her time. She pushes herself with 3 kids, a home, etc. and as a single woman she inspires me and she will inspire you to workout and get up and take control of your life too! She posts insta stories regularly and they are great to keep up with!

2) C_l_o 609K followers
This is my favorite fashion artist on instagram. His posts are so mesmerizing. Everytime I see a post that catches my eye on my feed, I look up and see that it is on C_l_o's page. He seems to be a famous photographer because he has past, behind-the-scenes, never released images of celebrities which are pretty cool.

** I have not added any pictures of these followers because I am not sure of the copyright laws. Sorry!

3) tammyhembrowfitness 178K followers
Tammy is a fitness coach who is known for her booty. She has worked with Khloe Kardashian in the past. She posts creative exercises that will get a woman the figure they want. I started following her after I saw this meme:


This meme showed me that I was dieting all wrong! Unless I wanted a boxy figure, I needed to focus on fat loss not overall weight loss. In the past, my figure always ended up like the picture on the left when I lost weight. I think the thin figures were in in the early 2000s when I was growing up. Now that I have gotten older, my aesthetic has changed. I have learned that to get a more shapely figure, you need to pump iron on the parts that you want to see bigger while maintaining a healthy diet. It is important to eat! Especially after a workout. You will never gain muscle where you want it - let's face it, on our derrieres - if you don't 1) pump iron that targets your glute muscles and 2) eat protein that will build that plump, new muscle. Tammy Hembrow helps you do just that.

Lots of gadget posts!

Sorry for all the posts on things you should buy but that's just what I find the most helpful at the moment. I'll change things up soon. These posts are by no means insinuating that you have to buy things to do things right, I'm simply sharing nifty things I have found helpful that I never knew about before. Today, I got a flexible cell phone holder in the mail. I'll post an update on how it goes! I need it because I am on my phone A LOT and it would be so convenient to prop it somewhere and just watch instead of progressively getting carpal tunnel. Health first! :) Thanks for reading! ~ES Edit 1 day later: This gadget has revolutionized my life people, get it!

Cardio

Wow! I just saw a video about weight loss using cardio vs. weights and what it said was so true. Here  is the link in case you are interested. I feel so bad for myself for all the cardio I did in the past. It seems so pointless. Some of the main points are: 1) The muscles you workout while doing cardio are not your large muscles so you are working out parts of your body that do not require much energy so you have to run for a long time to burn an amount of calories that will lead to significant weight loss. Think about the difference in the way a marathon runner looks versus a bodybuilder. 2) You have to spend much less time in the gym lifting weights than you do on the treadmill because it is more efficient. 3) Muscles keep burning fat more efficiently even when you are not in the gym. This is called Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption or EPOC for short. 4) Working out your larger muscles directly burns your fat not the carbs you consumed that day. 5) While cardio...

Tips in the shower

Hey guys, I have some tips on how to save time in the shower and get the most out of it. 1. Buy soap for your body. I have always used creamy soaps so my skin won't get dry as I don't wear lotion every single time I take a shower. But what I noticed is that my skin already has a milky smell to it which I never liked. You have to find something that counterbalances your natural smell if it is something you want to improve. I looked for a Himalayan Scrub partly due to intuition and partly because I read that Himalayan salt detoxifies your skin and have natural minerals.  This one in particular is great, they even gave me a promo code to get a free scrub which was a very pleasant surprise. The one I bought has a mild smell that stays with you. As someone who does not wear perfume often, this is great for me because it smooths out my skin and leaves a great mild, scent on my skin and clothes that is not overpowering. It's great! 2. Use a shower glove. Not only does thi...
