*
8. Do 15 push-ups.

• Muscles worked: triceps, deltoids, pectorals

*
9. Do squat thrusts for 1 minute.

• Stand straight. Now, drop to a crouch position. Immediately thrust your legs out straight behind on your toes, in push-up position. Immediately jump to pull legs back to the chest, in crouching position, then stand up straight.

• Muscles worked: arms, legs, chest, and lower back.

*
Cool down by walking around, until your heart rate starts getting back to normal, then stretch.
A 1-minute rest is needed in between exercises. Proper form is important. Do not hold your breath. Sip water during the workout. This workout targets the whole body, improves cardiovascular efficiency and tones and strengthens the body.

1. Looking great…

at the gym or on the walking trail may not be at the top of your priority list.  But I believe like with most other events in your life, if you look good you feel better.  Putting on a flattering workout outfit can actually motivate you to go to the gym or exercise outdoors.  So what you wear can go a long way toward helping you stay motivated and confident – and can even improve your workout performance.

2. Workout clothes serve both a practical and a psychological purpose.

On a practical level, you need workout clothes that are not too constricting so you can move freely and clothes made from breathable fabrics.  Psychologically, you need special workout gear to convince yourself it is time to work out.

3. Put function first.

Of course, looking great isn’t the only consideration when choosing a workout outfit.  Your best bet is to choose clothes that stretch and bend with you.  Comfort is key, too.  Look for clothing that moves moisture away from the body as quickly as possible, Dri-fit is a good option.  A 100% cotton T-shirt will get wet very quickly and will stay wet.  As a result, you will be uncomfortable and may be tempted to cut your workout short.  Also, don’t overdress, it is difficult to work out vigorously if you are overheated.  By “not overdressing”, I don’t mean show lots of cleavage.  You are exercising, not clubbing!

4.  Wear clothes that fit.

The first step in improving your workout look is to assess your workout wardrobe and keep only the clothes that fit you.  Oversized T-shirts and baggy, light gray stretched out pants will only make you look bigger and sloppier.  This may affect your workout morale.  Semi-fitted garments that follow the shape of your body without clinging creates the most flattering silhouette.

5. Undergarments.

You should wear a bra that offers more support than an ordinary bra.  Your sports bra should be made out of material that is both breathable and durable.  Unsupported breasts during workouts are distracting and also decrease elasticity of your breast tissue which leads to a sagging bustline, yikes!

6. Top choices.

Women:

A slim-fitting tee or tank that covers just half of your butt is a good option.   Darker hues are more slimming and reduce the appearance of belly fat and muffin tops.  Choose jewel tones – sapphire blue, deep teal, amethyst purple or hunter green.  Tops with small geometric patterns also help disguise bumps and rolls.  Create the illusion of curves with tops that have ruching or curved vertical lines along the sides.

Men:

Choose a Dri-fit short sleeved tee (untucked please) with longer shorts or long pants in dark colors.

7. Black is best below the belt.

The best shades are dark, so opt for pants/capris in black, navy and deep gray.  Workout pants that feature boot-cut legs or tight-leg capris that flair at the calf are the most slimming and elongate the leg.

8. The right socks.

Ideal workout socks should keep your feet dry and prevent blisters.  Choose low cut (just below ankle length) socks that provide cushion in the heel and toe.  Best material option is a wicking material with added nylon or lycra spandex for stretch.

9. The right shoes.

Most important of all, make sure you are wearing a good pair of workout shoes.  Go for quality.  They need to be supportive and specific to the activity you plan to do.

10. Affordable workout wear.

You can find quality workout clothes at a great price.  Try TJ Maxx and Marshalls; they have name brand apparel (Nike, Adidas, Reebok) at a fraction of the original price.
The right workout clothes can improve your performance and confidence.  It is more than just looking good – it is about feeling comfortable and getting the most from your workout.  Are you dressing for exercise success?

There is really nothing like being in the beauty business…

10 Foods Every Dieter Should Eat

*

Our society celebrates those who obtain fame, wealth, power and celebrity, no matter the means—ethical or not—and we call them successful. Success is often equated  to an achieved status, rather than to a measure of value or contribution.

We are taught early in life to strive for  success, to achieve the status—win the trophy, get the notable degree, land the big position, win the impressive title, acquire the bigger house, bring back the enviable vacation photos and collect the cars, boats, jewels and big bank account. And when we are waving from the mountaintop, having finally achieved these trappings of “success,” we often feel a stark emptiness inside.

*

What’s wrong?

We might have acquired everything we ever wanted, except the one thing that really matters—significance. We want to know that our lives meant something, that we’ve had a positive impact on the lives of others. And only significance provides that; success by itself cannot.

The interesting thing is you can be successful and not significant, but you cannot be significant without being successful. We see success as more than rank, fame, fortune and material goods. A successful person, by our definition, is one who has achieved five pillars of excellence: business, well-being, relationships, wealth and contribution. We call this “whole-life success,” and one who has achieved it has attained a life of significance.

If you are still perplexed by the difference between success (society’s definition) and significance, think of significance as being those things said about you in your eulogy. It won’t be the initials after your name, the number of houses you collected or your company’s balance sheet that will be lauded. Your life—your legacy—will be defined by the positive and lasting impact you had on people, whether they’re your friends and family, your neighbors, your countrymen or possibly even humankind.

*

What does that look like?

One such example is the amazing Dr. Mehmet Oz. He has not only achieved enormous business and financial success by anyone’s standards, but his pursuits are those that make a significant difference in the lives of millions. All the while he still maintains excellence in his personal relationships and, no doubt, well-being. Dr. Oz is certainly a cover boy for living a life of significance.

How about you? Are you living your life in pursuit of success or significance?

Success by itself is empty. Only a life in pursuit of significance can grant you both. I want this month’s issue to challenge you to re-evaluate your goals and assess how you are focusing your ambition, time, energy and unique talent. Maybe you will find you have been chasing the wrong brass ring. Maybe you will become inspired to use your gifts of greatness in a way that not only brings you great personal abundance, but also greatly rewards those who get the privilege of being served by you.

Now that you know our definition, I can say, I wish you great SUCCESS!

A New Shear Moment!

“The Client Challenge!”

If you think after 30 years behind the chair you know how to do just about anything….

THINK AGAIN!

Last week my new little 7 year old African American nephew came over for a visit. He watched me cut and color his grandmothers hair and was wanting some attention so he asked me if I would cut his hair.

“Sure, I said, let me grab my special cape.”

The excited boy ran happily to the salon chair, jumped right up and said ‘ “Can you line me up?”

Puzzled, as what he meant by line him up, I asked’ What do you mean?

You know… line me up!

I said “I’ll try, but I never lined any boy up.”

‘It’s easy, just do it.

So I tried to line the boy up and when finished his face went from a happy faced kid to a deflated frown.

I don’t think I lined him up right!

A NEW SHEAR MOMENT!

It’s TIME to move on!

An adorable, confident, and sassy seven year old girl walks in with super long, straggly, and fine hair. She and her mom are looking in the hair book for a new doo. As the little girl keeps showing her resistant mom a length she would like, her mom is hesitant and thinks she should keep those skinny strands. She then says to her daughter, “But your dad likes you’re long hair”. The little girl says “well it’s time to move on mom!”
