               HACKS TO FEEL FULLER WHEN YOU EAT       We can't deny the fact that it can be really difficult to control portion sizes when we eat, especially when the food is super delicious. Those of us in the fitness world can attest that to see better results we have to eat in moderation. But the truth is, most people never get satisfied eating small quantity of foods and that's where this post comes in as an aid. Below, are a few hacks to make you feel fuller when you eat;   Use smaller plates ; When you serve a small quantity of food in a big plate, the brain automatically concludes that you won't be satisfied(i.e if you eat voluminously) but when you transfer same quantity of food to a smaller plate, it looks big enough to the eyes thereby alerting the brain that you have a lot to eat. You will end up feeling satisfied.   Eat Slowly ; It takes the brain about 20 minutes to realize you're satisfied so try using a fork or chopsticks when you eat and chew f

KILLER 15 MINUTES ABS WORKOUT  AT HOME (HIIT    VERSION) Some people get bored easily when it comes to working out. Well that's because they tend to repeat the same workout day in day out. Personally, i like to switch things up every week or every few days which makes me to always look forward to workout.     This HIIT workout is divided into 2 Circuits with 4 different exercises in each. You'll perform each exercise for 30 seconds without any rest until all 4 exercises are completed. Repeat each circuit 3 times and take 30 seconds rest just before you repeat it the 2nd time and another 30 seconds rest before the 3rd repetition. Now once you're done with circuit 1, rest for 1 minute before beginning circuit 2. Repeat the steps in circuit 1. D'accord?? D'accord.     Circuit 1 Leg raises (30 secs) Scissor kicks (30 secs) Reverse crunches (30 secs) Bicycle crunches (30 secs)   Repeat 2 more times with 30 seconds rest between each repetition.           TAK

CRUEL ADVICES GIVEN TO FITNESS NEW-COMERS       Are you new to fitness? these are the advices you shouldn't heed to; 1. To avoid carbohydrates         First off, carbohydrates are energy giving foods. Without energy, how do you want to perform your activities for the day? I remember when i first started off my fitness journey, i was told to avoid all carbohydrates. I literally did that for months and what happened? I was always weak. I was obsessed with loosing as much weight as possible so i avoided carbs because i thought it will make me FAT πŸ˜‚ ( that's probably the most stupid thing I've done πŸ™‰ ). There are actually great sources of carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes, rice (preferably brown) , Bread (preferably whole-wheat) , oats etc. I must not forget to mention that white rice and white bread have been striped off their nutrients and will actually spike your blood sugar level thereby making you crave more unhealthy foods, so swap them for their healthier alte

HOW TO GET BACK ON TRACK AFTER A WEEKEND OF INDULGENCE                                  source: @ptheledge on instagram                                          We've  all had weekends were we over-eat and find it difficult getting back on track when a new week runs in. Well worry no more because i happen to have have 2 tips that have worked for me and i hope it works for you too πŸ˜„ ;    πŸ”Ί  DO HIIT WORKOUTS              HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. They come in different forms but i prefer to do 45 secs sprint at 80% of my capacity and 15secs walk for 10-15 minutes. Here, you're giving your body little time to rest which makes it rely on your body fat for energy not your muscles. So, you're burning fats and not Muscles. Good thing about HIIT workouts is that you'll keep burning calories way after you've worked out (that's a win win πŸ™Œ ).  ``πŸ”Ί    CREATE A DOPE PLAYLIST             Music is loved by all (stay away from me if you h

SECRET BEHIND GROWING A BIG BOOTY THAT PEOPLE OVER-LOOK (PART 2)   DO LESS CARDIOVASCULAR EXERCISES     We all know cardio is good for the heart but you should think about limiting your cardio sessions if your aim is to grow your butt (keep doing cardio and that ass will reduceπŸ˜‚πŸ˜’). If you are a cardio Junkie who wants to join the 'BIG BOOTY' Trend, i advice you reduce the rate at which you do cardio related exercises and focus on exercises that actually grow the booty. If you always do cardio everyday, i'd say you do it 3 times a week instead and limit it to two HIIT sessions and one LISS Session. HIIT targets FAT not MUSCLES so your gains won't melt away because the booty is actually a muscle.        Thanks for reading. please drop your comments and do not forget to subcribeπŸ‘‡ 😊
