Hi! Last year I bought this Slimming and Firming and breast cream (strange combi I thought at first but it is meant to firm saggy skin, so that would be the reason). At first I tried it on my main frustration which is my belly. But then I bought the Ab Gymnic belt exerciser and you can't judge if a product is working if you are testing two at the same time! So I use the belt on my belly instead, and I started using the cream on my hips. Even if you are exercising, when you are older your body starts to sag, so that even if you are the same weight you were 10 years before, your middle may have expanded. Just a fact of life. So I noticed that although I am pretty slim the little "wings" at the top of my legs where it goes over to my backside had started developing again. Many years ago, after my first pregnancy, I used my own Slimming and Firming cream (with essential oils and herbal extracts) and had a really fine result, so I decided to give it a try again with ...

Hi! My husband has been following my antics with my fitness program  with considerable amusement under a long time, and while he is interested in the exercises, he suffers from a bad back since an operation gone wrong 5 years ago and therefore cannot do most of them. So I made up a program especially for him and thought I would share that. Mind you: this is NOT a program to help you overcome your bad back. This is a program that you can (possibly) DO with a bad back. Backs are individuals just like we are. What works for him might not work for you. Try out each exercise and see how it feels. You are the best judge of your back and what you can and cannot. Experiment; try out variations; if something is too hard, try an easier version, if something seems too easy, put on weights rather than add repetitions, is my advice. Equipment needed : when you are trying it out, only a towel  and a yoga mat . Once you have found out some exercises that you like, you might like to t...

Hi! Today I had a colleague who asked me how I manage to stay so thin. It is not the first time I have had this question and I thought it might be interesting to take it up here. Obviously, staying at the same weight is a matter of balance. I probably actually go up and down a little in weight like everyone else, but I do not realize it. I have had times when I was a few kilos up or down from my current weight which is somewhere around 65 kg. At my 1.80 m this is just fine. I do not want to lose weight. I would like to add muscle. I am not the least concerned about my weight, factually. I am interested in my body fat content, not my weight in kilos. >(or lbs).  But isn't it ironic? When I put on weight it goes on to my "jellybelly" and my hips. When I lose weight (last year I was very stressed and got down to 62 kg which is too little for me) I lose it from my face and my arms and legs, and the stubborn fat on my belly and hips stays. Sigh. So now everyone ...
