Dont you think starving is easier .. I do and i workout

no, not at all.

it can cause irreversible damage to your heart and brain and is simply something that cannot be sustained for a long period of time without dire consequences.

as many of my earlier blog posts illustrate, i’m totally against starvation as a means of weight loss (i will never be a fan of the abc diet, diet coke diet, or any of the pro-ana diets out there).

seriously, it’s okay to eat— that’s something that i wish everyone could remember. 

what does that mean? well, your body tries to naturally maintain a certain number/weight on the scale.
and according to some research, vigorous exercise (e.g. a workout regimen prior to a special occasion, like a wedding) followed by periods of inactivity (after the wedding’s over, and you get lazy) can raise your fat levels and put strain on your system. 
basically, instead of yo-yo dieting, you’re yo-yo exercising— which is just as bad.
so what should you do? adopt an exercise regimen that you can sustain year-round. allow yourself some rest days, but don’t fall into the habit of sitting on your butt for too long.

good health is not something we can buy. however, it can be an extremely valuable savings account.

regular planks, side planks… they’re amazing at building up your core strength and stabilizer muscles. in fact, i’d say that planks are one of the bestab exercises you could possibly do.

you may not be moving while you do it, but i guarantee your muscles will be screaming for mercy. -curtis penner, youtuber

So, I did the workout that you posted a little while ago tonight (as much as I could do, I couldn't jump much because my parents are sleeping in the next room), and wow, I feel wiped out, but so much better, because I didn't get a workout in today! I feel pretty good right about now :)

yay! i’m happy to hear that! i hope my workouts can continue to provide you with that good feeling while helping to make you stronger.

keep up the exercising! :)

“no pain, no gain” isn’t always right…
while you should push yourself, understand what it means to go too far.

Agghhh....Your playlists, your workouts, your blog... Agh! Love it! I do your workout, like, religiously. OK, so today is only my second time. But that's cos I've been so sore the past few days that I couldn't do it. I'm so in love with your blog! Listening to your playlist right now, the first one on the list. You're my hero :)
