What will improve your Sex Life? A Flat Belly and Exercise

Strong abdominal and lower back muscles give you stamina and strength to try new positions or stay steady in old ones, so that sex is pleasurable as it should be, stated by David Zinczenko. I can attest to this finding. When you exercise, you have much more energy and strength and won’t find yourself choosing between sex and sleep. Women with a smaller waistline, will have better bloodflow. Foods that clog your arteries not only clog up the arteries going to your heart and brain, but also clog up the vessels leading to your genitals. If this happens, your blood will have trouble making it to the pelvic area. David also states that decreased flow of blood to the pelvic area in women can lead to decreased lubrication, sensitivity, and sexual pleasure. A study was conducted of more than 200 women, and showed that by increasing bloodflow to the genital area of women, you could increase lubrication, sensitivity, arousal, and sensation to the area. These are preliminary results, but improving your bloodflow can play a huge role in sexual satisfaction. Fitness Magazine did an article on Better Sex Workouts in November 2007. The article gave great exercise tips that would increase your sex life. Some group fitness exercise classes offer many exercises that target the abs, hip flexors, glutes, quads, calves, obliques, pelvic floor, and hamstrings. Find a class that focus on targeting these areas if you are looking to improve your sex life. These types of exercises are normally offered in Exotic Dance Fitness Classes.

Want to live longer? Flatten that belly

Many studies shows that people with the largest waist sizes have the most risk of life-threatening disease. For women a waistline larger than 35 inches increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes, according to the National Institutes of Health. Another study posted in the International Journal of Obesity found that women should strive for waist sizes less than 31.5 inches, when you waist grows larger so does your risk of heart disease. Now what’s really crazy is that another study shows that the average woman’s waist size is more 36 inches, which means she is at an increased risk for the same health problems. We do know that flattening your abs may not keep you out of the hospital but, we do know is that by developing a strong mid section aka abs, you will greatly reduce your body fat and cut your risk for disease significantly.
A flat belly not only reduces your risk for heart disease and diabetes but also cancer. Many studies show that the incidence of cancer among obese patients is 33 percent higher than among lean ones, according to a Swedish study. Studies also show that cancer is caused by mutations that occur in cells as they divide. Fat tissues in your abdomen causes your body to produce hormones that prompt your cells to divide, which means more risk for cancer. Some people think that diabetes comes from eating too much refined sugar, like the kind in ice cream and chocolate. However people contract diabetes after years of eating high carb stuff like white bread, pasta, mashed potatoes. Eating high amounts of these foods can harm you just as much as eating a half gallon of ice cream, leave you with a lot of sugar calories. It’s the calories that you can’t burn that turns into fat cells that like to rest around your midsection.
Here’s a few more things that visceral fat(fat around your abdomen) can cause:
• Sleep apnea
• Gastroesophageal reflux
• Asthma
• Poor sleep
Now is the time to be concerned. Find a physical activity that targets your entire body and focus on the abs. You want to live long right? Let’s do it. Stay tuned for tips on how to flatten that tummy.

Afraid to take a group fitness class?

If you fear going to your local gyn or dance/fitness studio and need some help getting there, here are some tips to help you overcome your fear.

• If you are interested in a particular facility, call and speak with a live representative. Ask the questions you want the answers to like what's the age group of your participants?, Are there beginner classes?, Whatis the attire for class?
• Visit the facility of interest and speak with the company representative, see how the clients interact with the staff, get a feeling for the atmosphere.
• Ask what will you gain form taking classes at this particular facility.
• See if the company has any videos available online that you can view. You Tube, etc.
• Grab a friend and tell them to join you. Sometimes its much easier to start a workout routine with a partner.

For women, if you prefer women only environments, that's fine, locate one.

Once you do all of the above, you should have enough information to decide which facility you prefer. Just pick one, if you keep waiting, you will never achieve your goals. Make sure you find a facility that you feel comfortable in, you need a certain level of comfort for you to be successful. Be realistic, don't expect to lose 30 pounds in a week, set obtainable goals. Also choose a place where the staff and instructors are concerned about you meeting your goals.

Whatever you do, make sure you find a class is fun, something that you will most likely stick with. You would not want to pay for a membership at a facility that you dread going to .

Don't think you could learn to Pole Dance?

Hey Ladies,

Are you skeptical about Pole Dancing? Don't think you can do it? I got news for you. I have never been a dancer, nor have I ever taken Gymnastics. However, I have learn to use the Pole for my satisfaction. I have one in my room. I work out on it regularly and encourage anyone who has not tried it, to at least do so! Give it one try, and you will be hooked. If you are looking to tone up, lose weight, get in shape, and/or just feel good about yourself, POLE DANCING is it.

How many of you have started a work out plan only to quit after a week or even two days? POLE DANCE FITNESS will definitely keep you entertained and challenged. I'm not going to say its easy, but I will say, it makes you want to keep doing it. It is so invigorating and uplifting. You just have to try it! I know you might be saying, no way, I can't do that. Never say can't. You can do anything you put your mind or better yet your BODY to. Be one with the Pole, don't be afraid of it, its your friend. LOL. You can't get a better workout like Pole Dancing. The fitness benefits are huge.

Who would have ever thought I would be in this industry. I am an accountant, mom, and wife. I am loving every bit of it, the ups and the downs. I love to see the looks on the faces of our clients who feel so confident about themselves. That's what we are here for. We are here to make a difference in the lives of other women by helping to build their self esteem, increase their confidence, and get their SEXY Back!!

Wife, Mother, & Entrepreneur WOW!!!

Hello Ladies,
Its been a while. I know I say that everytime I haven't blogged in a while. I am trying to get better with the whole blogging thing. I have been so busy with everything, family and business. One thing for sure, no one told me how much work being an entrepreneur, mom and wife could be. It takes hard work and determination. I must be built for this otherwise why would I go through so much and it just makes me stronger and want to fight harder. First and foremost, being a wife and mother takes alot energy. I guess that why I love pole dancing so much, it keeps me in shape and feeling young. Either Pole dancing or drugs. I choose Pole Dancing. Mom, can I do this? can I have that? can you play the Wii with me? can we go to the pool? can we go out to dinner? can we go to the movies, bowling or skating? can I? can I?....... Sometimes I want to say, can I get a break? As moms we don't have a chance to take a break, but we must find time for ourselves, whether we just go and sit in the bathroom and lock the door. Some quiet time to reflect on our days and thoughts. I am more creative and effective during the day when I take a moment for myself. I work from home and its summer and my kids are home too. So I'm sure you know what I mean. Being a wife, partner, significant other, etc can be very demanding also. I must spread myself amongst the kids, my husband, and work. My husband like most men needs alot of attention. That's all I got to say about that. You know what I am talking about. And then for some crazy reason I have decided to be an entrepreneur. My business sucks all the other time out of my schedule 365 days a year. There is never a break, always something going on, never a dull moment. Although most people would give up, not be able to handle the pressure, throw in the towel, I refuse to. I know that I have a purpose in life to help others and be successful at it. Body Talk is just one project to get me prepared for all the others. If Body Talk has taught me anything, it has taught me patience. Things sure don't happen overnight. I know that God has much more planned for my family and I. Some things have already been revealed, some things have yet to be revealed. Whatever my purpose, I am ready. I am ready for whatever comes my way. I say to you GOD, Bring It!!!!

The Economy

Hello Ladies,

For those of us who enjoyed the wonderful inauguration of our nations 1st African American President, how did it make you feel. I know it made me feel proud to be living during a time when something like this possible. It has never felt so good to know that we too, can run thiscountry. Barack is the change that American needed. He represents all people, everyone, all nationalities. My family participated in this great historical event by attending the Inauguration in Washington, DC on January 20, 2009. My children were so excited although it was so cold out, that didn't even matter at the time. The looks on the faces in the crowd was enough to make you shout for joy. It was a mixture of all people, young and old. It was an event to attend. Everyone came together as one, race and color didnt' matter.

We have a lot of things to work on this year. As you all know, there has been a major change in our economy these past few years. People who once had it together are finding themselves in a horrible downturn. Families are losing their homes and jobs at alarming rates, small and large businesses are closing their doors. Families are loosing their life savings, and pensions. Its a very hard time in America right now, but we have faith that all is well.

My duty as a small minority business owner is to empower other business owners like me. I make it my business to refer others to businesses that I may or may not be associated with. I enjoy helping others find the products and services they needs, especially within our own community. I would like to see more support from our communities to help keep our businesses open. We as a people are so quick to judge our own instead of trying to work with one another to make things better for everyone. We as a people have to get better with this and regardless if you are a business owner or not, that we make it our business to reinvest in someone who looks like you. All other cultures and races have this down to a science. Its just something we need to work on and master. If we support one another there is nothing we can't do. No need for jealously or hatred towards one another, lets help each other grow. When you plant seeds, you will be rewarded. Its proven, and its being done. Because I am a Business owner and I know the importance of supporting other businesses like mine, I feel very strongly about this. We need to learn that if we see room for improvement within a business, make a suggestion, instead of just speaking negatively about one of your own. You will not see any other race talk about their own kind, even if its something they are not happy with. They just won't do it. They have respect for one another. Until we gain that kind of respect for one another, its always going to be a struggle. I can go on and on, but until next time, make it your business to support another business in your community. Support someone who look just like YOU!!

It's a New Year! Get FINE in 2009!

How was your holiday? Did you get everything you wanted? Did you get that POLE?

I must say, my holidays were great, I spent time with close friends and family.

My kids got the WII and they play it all the time. I think its one of the best gaming systems around.

Let's talk about YOU. Are you meeting your fitness goals? Are you taking time for yourself? Are you giving back to your community? Have you vowed to BE FINE in '09?

This will be a historical year with the inauguration of our nations 1st African American President, many homeowners losing their homes and jobs, many Big Name Companies shutting their doors, the condition of the stock market, and everything else in between. Us, women must remain focused on what it is we want out of life. Although we may be going through this tough time, it won't last always. Let us be proactive, and set ourselves us to succeed. Here's a couple of things I always remember in a time like this:

• Stay clear of negativity! Always remain positive in any situation
• Never let anyone tell you what you can't do, JUST DO IT!
• Write down your goals for 2009 and scratch off the ones you have met (short or long term)
• Take time for yourself by getting massage, mani-pedi, work out at Body Talk of course, eat healthier
