Sweat-Proof Make Up

I know nobody goes into the gym with a full face of glam make up. But sometimes, we don't want to be naked bare of make up. I have found the best light and easy make up that it SWEAT PROOF. 




Concealer: 

High End; 

Lancome Paris water proof concealer.
Gives a matte finish and wont go into lines.


Drug Store;

Maybeline Cover Stick Concealer
Waterproof, Natural Coverage, Blends well Only $4

Maybelline Cover Stick Waterproof Concealer, Ivory


Foundation:

I don't wear foundation to the gym but I like these..

High End:
It says tint, but the coverage is so good. I have to say I think it's more like a foundation.



Drugstore:
Very Popular, Water Proof and even coverage.





Mascara


High End:

This is macs zoom water lash, it is $20 but, the formula is excellent!




Drugstore:

I had to go with this one, It's my all time favorite mascara! Makes lashes look bold and doesnt clump, REMEMBER TO GET THE WATERPROOF VERSION!



Lip


High End:

The clinique chubby sticks are like a crayon. They have very pigmented colors and are so creamy.




Drugstore:

The Revlon lip butters, are like a lip balm and a stick in one. They are very long lasting and have such cute packaging. They come in a whole variety of colors.

How to: Get Abs/six pack

So this is a question I get asked a lot and that I know people wonder about. How do you get abs?

So..

Your abs are the centre piece of you. They keep you up right and keep you steady. If you didn't have abs you wouldn't be able to sit up straight.

It's important to know everyone has abs. Everyone has the muscles, just some are stronger and in result show more.

I think everyone wants those athlete six packs but in theory, their is no reason why you can't!

To build abs you need to loose fat, this is what covers the muscles so you can't see them and then it looks like don't have abs!

Steps to the perfect abs!


Eating clean, this means your changing your diet so that you can build muscle! Even if you want to build abs for appearance reasons it will still help with your posture! If you want to know some super foods for weight loss..http://behealthy2behappy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/hi-everyone-today-i-dont-have-workout.html


Core work, this involves all the sit ups, crunches, obliques and planks! They are painful, but necessary if you want the killer abs!

If your new to core work then try my 8 day ab challenge, this is based for beginners and eases you in slowly making sure that you can adjust! You can find it here..



A quick challenge that is more advance can be found here..

Burning fat; running burns fat, the most of any exercise! So this is important to make sure you just have muscle! If you don't have the time for a run try this workout at home.. 


Now YOU CAN GET ABS! That's so important to stress, if your willing to work hard, you will have the body you want! Just remember to work hard and eat clean and you will can achieve!



Good luck on your journey

I saw that Sweaty Betty had a sale on so I checked out there website and found these. Just because your at they gym there is no reason why you can't be fashionable.

I have 5 different styles all from Sweaty Betty..


Boho Chick:
This tunic has a slight edgy feel to it, with the adjustable ties at the bottom really gives it a casual chick look! 


Urban Girl:
The decorative sides are so trendy and unique. The colors have an urban style but still have a girly feel. 

Girly Gal:
This vest is so girly and is good for any shape! The pants are good because they are airy and clinch in at the ankle!


















Bold/Statement Maker: Favorite Outfit!



This is labeled a yoga-tee but I think it would be good for either early morning runs or the gym and the shorts, WHAT A STATEMENT.

Is a strong core beneficial?

If you think no matter what action you are doing you are involving your core. It may only be a small amount but you are still involving it.
 If you are running a lot then your core needs to be strong to keep you up right and so that you don't waste energy when you get tired. You core keeps all of these muscles working hard and it has a tough job. A simple way to strengthen your core without doing a physical workout is too sitting up straight. This helps keep your core strong. Your posture will also improve. If you think about it your tummy muscles are working so much harder to keep you up right than if you were to just slouch. If you want to go for a workout to work your core I have wrote a blog post on it called "super quick ab challenge" this has ways to make the moves easier or to make it more challenging for you. Go on, give it a try! What are you waiting for? http://behealthy2behappy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/super-quick-ab-challenge.html

Worked out hard?

Whenever I have worked out hard I always think, when will I benefit from this workout. Even though their is not an exact time span of when you will feel the benefits. Scientist have discovered certain timings that you can use to your advantage.



Pete Pfitzinger is an exercise physiologist and two-time Olympic marathoner says the process is cumulative. 

For running it is generally;

Training done within the past 5 days; Stress that leads to fatigue

Training done within 5 to eight days ago; Starting to lead to a positive adaption

Training done 8 days to 3 weeks ago; Stress has created a positive adaption.

Training done 3 weeks ago; Training is starting to loose its effect.


Fitness you have have today is a mix of all of these categories.
To exactly pin point a specific workout is hard but generally it takes about 8 to 10 days before you see the benefits.

Thank you so much for checking out my blog, feel free to leave any comments suggesting improvements or ideas for future blogs. Good luck with all your training and don't forget to follow.
