With a car at hand gives the opportunity to know better, the best bars, restaurants and other sights of Rio de Janeiro, as the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, and gain access to the scenery pretty blessed by God and by nature, as the Tijuca Forest (the largest urban forest in the country) and the tracks of Topsail. If you are visiting the state capital during the weekend, stay tuned for the changes that occur in traffic to optimize the environment of some beaches for families in Rio – and enjoy this opportunity. Many edges are forbidden to vehicular traffic, so that families take children to play and exercise in the avenues, with skates, bicycles and skateboards.

Much to his surprise, his wife’s condition began to improve almost immediately. That amazing turn of events led him to dedicate himself to researching alternative therapies in medicine, particularly in the arena of nutritional supplements. Dr. Strand’s illumination of the body’s silent enemy-oxidative stress-will astound you. But, more importantly, his research will equip you to protect or reclaim your nutritional health, possibly reversing disease and preventing illness.

Recipe for a healthy and delicious Smoothie

Greek Yogurt (Chobani)
Orange Juice
Banana
Strawberries
Blueberries
Flax Seeds
Cinnamon

Put all ingredients in the blender until smooth, with the exception of flaxseed and cinnamon, then put into the glass and add to your taste the flaxseed and cinnamon.

”Smoothie” is a great and healthy option that I did for my life, now I use Greek yogurt because is healthier than others, and 100% natural. I don’t use sugar, but if you want to add, try using brown sugar or organic.Flaxseed is high nutritional value because it is rich in fiber, fatty acids and protein. Bananas are the fourth most produced foodstuff in the world, contain three natural sugars: sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant and substantial boost of energy. Blueberries is good source of Vitamins C and promotes a healthy immune system,fiber, and promotes good digestion.

One workout that’s pretty interesting is the Jillian Michaels ab workout DVD, she helps build a stronger core, from beginners all the way up to gym rats. This one I personally have not tried, however,  a co worker of mine does a differant DVD each night, with there being a total of 2 discs. Average workout time was only 30 minutes and by the end of it, you would think you had been in a sauna for hours. A lot of people when they start to lift, they do not realize the core needs and must be the strongest muscle on the body. Having a strong core means you are set up for balancing each muscle in your body.

Spartacus- Another 30 minute workout, with high intensity, high calorie burning exercise that helps tone and build the major muscle departments ie. Biceps, chest, abdominals. I will say this about it, this kicked my ass! There are now three different versions and all can be found online. The basic outline is a 10 station workout, built around time and focusing on form rather than reps . Personally I enjoy this one because hell, who doesn’t want to look like those guys on tv?

Insanity- Just like me, the name is straight forward and means exactly what you read. Not really on the time side of things, it is still an excersise that can be done at home because this is another DVD ran workout. With 10 differant DVD’s all focusing on cardio, flexibility and strength. Times range from 30 minutes to almost near an hour and a half, but is well worth it. I see a lot of people in the military use this workout because the intensity it brings,  you get more calories burned and ‘ bang for your buck’

Cross fit- One of my particular favorites to add cardio and muscle mass gain in the same workout. I once had to partake in a 4 set class at 20 minutes each, to prove worthy I could become a Physical training lead for my job, lets just say after that day, I knew I had some flaws and areas of improvement. Cross fit is not your typical workout, built around another high intensity but short time period, a good workout should only be around 20 minutes for the best results. You can find thousands of prototype workouts for this online, but beware. This is an extreme workout that can be fun and rewarding, with bizarre and new ways of working out. Do not be surprised if you find one that includes moving a tractor tire 20 yards, sprinting for a hundred more, then high jumping back to that tire to only push it back, in only a matter of seconds, that may just be the warm up.

The george St. Pierre workout- This one I found reading in Mens Health one day, with it only being a two day workout and only another 20-25 minute routine, it helps build a faster, leaner body with focuses on the areas of the body you typically would not workout at the gym. Some of the moves can be complex and difficult, but in the end will provide good results.

Like my father always said ” you can’t knock it until you tried it”. I recommend trying one of these workouts if you are looking for a good time at the gym. If time is constricting you, then you can always shorten some workouts down to whatever you can fit in your schedule, but all i say is make sure you finish the set! There is no problem with having to stop if reason calls for it, but make sure you get back out there the next day or even later on, and get that full workout in the books.

Donna age 63 died Thursday morning after succumbing to a long battle with cancer.

Born in Boston on New Year’s Eve 1948, Summer  hits including “Last Dance”, “Bad Girls” and “She Works Hard for The Money”.

The five-time Grammy winner leaves behind two grown daughters, Brooklyn and Amanda, with her husband, songwriter Bruce Charles Sudano, as well as another daughter, Mimi, from a previous marriage.

Confidence- I have a pretty good amount of attracted female friends that I usually go out with whenever I am visiting home. I tell them all the time how gorgeous they look when we go out, but yet they still say ” I look hideous”. Girls, please stop saying this. If a guy is into you, he has probably seen you at your worse ( hair tied, sweatpants and no make up), there is nothing more of a turnoff when a girl is not confident, you were given your looks, flaunt them and listen to whoever calls you beautiful, because you are.

Jealousy- I can not count the amount of times I have a girlfriend leave me because of jealousy. I am an outgoing guy, friendly and sociable when I do go out and it gets girls thinking. Jealousy is an ugly trait, it rips apart the trust factor,  automatically assuming you like another more than the girl or guy you are dating. It is a tough one to kick, but trust is a biggy. There is no harm behind a simple conversation that involves laughs and touching of the arm. If you really want to be quick to judge, you should know this, touching shows a sign of comfort and whenever you see a girl grab a mans arm or shoulder, it shows they do not feel threatened by him.

Honesty- I would rather have someone tell me straight up, leave me alone or that I am ugly, rather then beat around the bush all day to only be left hung out to dry. Most guys waste their time because girls can’t mustard up the confidence to just come out and say what guys want to hear, but my advice, it will help you in the long run. Be honest with your partner, they may get upset, but if they truly care they will forgive, especially if it’s little things.

Backstabber- No worse turn off for me then someone who talks behind your back.  I know all of us hate when someone is just constantly complaining about someone to make themself look good. It only shows me jealousy in their heart, and like I said jealousy is an ugly trait. No one wants to be around someone who is negative and insecure. So instead of yacking my ear off about someone, maybe you should think before you speak.

Transformation- This one is my favorite, and also wrong word choice for title. In short, its when you get molded into what the other person wants you to be. I want you to like this because I like it. Two words, hell no! I think a lot of relationships fail because people are not open, because they truly do not know each other that well yet. I will be who I want to be, if you don’t like it, tell me, so I know to try and do it less, don’t just hold it in and build up to turn something small, into a gigantic problimatic storm.

People will always have their flaws, no one is perfect as much as we would like to be, we are not. Try these things next time you’re out, you may find the tides to be changing towards your side. However, if we could all read minds like Mel Gibson could, we all would be living on easy street, and marriages would last like they’re suppose to, until death do us part, until then lets work on these little things shall we.

One viewer tweeted: “Oh, Tulisa. Autotune, flat shoes and dad-dancing. I am disappoint #bgt”.

Tulisa, who attempted a bit of an upbeat dance routine, opted against high heels to keep up with her moves, but fell flat (excuse the pun), when her look was more fitting for a child’s halloween fancy dress party.

Oh yes, she might have been celebrating her number one single as well as singing live on stage rather than miming, but it didn’t work in her favour. (Read More)
