Question by Cupcake87: Yoga and healthy eating/exercise tips?
Ok so I am wanting to get into better shape and better health as well. I just recently went threw a break up not even 2 months ago that totally hit me in the face like a brick wall. I didn't know it was coming in any way, shape or form. I had my lil' "my life is over and I can't go on with out him" moment and now I'm ready to start getting the new and improved healthy sexy body, make over me. I am 22 and in college right now + looking for a job. I am joining the gym and I'm also wanting to do yoga. I am starting to eat healthier and do home exercises as well. I am wanting to know how many times should someone workout and do yoga a week? I don't want to over do myself at all. I am just asking for advice from people so please no rude comments. I am wanting to also get into better shape since the summer is coming and my brother and his buddy are coming home for leave from overseas(Army) and I want to be able to wear a 2 piece bikini and not a shirt or a pair of shorts over. Which I have never been able to do. Also I am wanting to become a homicide detective and I have to become a police officer for a certain amount of years and then hopefully they'll let me become one. But I am also wanting to go threw the academy and need to be healthy and a lot more up speed than the rest because 1.) I'm a women, 2.) I'm 4'7" and 3.) I only weigh 95 pounds (for now- until I build my muscle's!)
I would love to hear what good advice/tips people have
If there's any recipes you like to share that would be awesome
what time of workout .. really anything at all anyone would like to share that's something positive would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
I am sorry about your heartache however there were 2 things that made me smile when I read your post which are so fantastic. the first is that you have made a decision to 'look after yourself' (you are half way there already as thousands don't even think about being healthier). The other thing is that you are very ambitious with all the things you plan to do with your life and that is fantastic too, so I have no doubt that you will reach your desired goal.
In answer to your question.
Consuming less calories per day is most definitely the way to go. On average for women you should not take in more than 1200 pday and for men no more than 1500pday - that's if you want to lose. You definitely will lose this way. Possibly have a look at how you are combining your meals and how often you are eating.
Saying that you need to ensure your body is getting the vitamins an minerals it is lacking from cutting down. in addition to that, our bodies don't really get the right amount of vitamins and minerals from eating normally anyway. I am suggesting taking a good vitamin and mineral supplement regardless of what it is you want to achieve.
I have lost quite a bit of weight (100kgs to 70kgs) and kept it off and I have done this by having a protein shake in the morning mixed with apple juice and ginger (very delish) I have that for lunch too but possibly another recipe like Strawberry and cucumber shake (also great!!). I have fruit throughout the day and maybe a snack bar. in the evenings i make a low-fat dinner of my choice and I just watch what i put in it but still manage to have fun cooking and making delicious meals. Be creative :)
I am not huge into exercise however I take a brisk walk each morning. That's great for the 'love handles!' However 'They Say' that you should change your regime periodically because someone who does the same activity all the time is likely to plateau much sooner than someone who varies her workouts. Just as you can get bored by always doing the same exercises, your body can also adapt to these exercises so that they don't offer the same benefits that they once did. A little variety might be just the thing you need to get the scale moving again or bust through that strength plateau. "Variety" means either changing something about your current routine (adding speed, distance, hills, resistance, etc.) or trying a totally different activity. If you like some consistency and don't want to change your workout each time you hit the gym, change your routine at least every 4-8 weeks (this includes incorporating changes to both your cardio and strength training exercises). This will keep your muscles challenged, your body guessing, and the results coming!

Using YouTube to Promote Yoga Business
Article by Acupuncturist 01
Undeniably, yoga helps in enhancing the mind-body connection. In effect, there would be an evident improvement in the mental, physical, and psychological health of an individual. There have been a lot of claims connecting yoga to offering improvement on cases of depression, eating disorders, body images struggles, and even asthma. Yoga is said to bring those benefits because of the inner peace it offers. This is perhaps the reason why many have decided to put up a yoga business. They aim to help other people experience the long list of benefits it offers.
Yoga refers to a system of practices. It originated in India and is already 5 000 years old. The system is very scientific. To achieve the unity of mind, spirit, and body is the goal in practicing yoga. This is done to bring about harmony in one's life. It has many benefits such as the reduction of weight, healing of injuries, reduction of stress, increase in flexibility and strength, improvement in concentration, and a very healthy life. Yoga is often practiced by those who want to improve their disposition and mood. When combined with the traditional treatments for those, a person can experience relief from any emotional problems or imbalance through yoga. It is also said that negative feelings that are suppressed may surface during certain yoga poses, which is actually beneficial. This allows the person to feel more positive since the negative energy would be released.
It is interesting to note that women who practice yoga are known to experience more body satisfaction and greater appreciation of their physical appearance. Women who do yoga also have fewer symptoms of eating disorders since yoga encourages them to listen to the feedback of their own body. They are also said to be sensitive with their bodily sensations. Since they are less preoccupied by their physical appearance, they tend to have more positive outlook when it comes to their body. Thus, having an improved body image is one of the benefits of doing yoga.
YouTube has made a big impact all throughout the world. From its introduction, it has become one of the most visited and highly used platforms today. In essence, video marketing is a very good thing to capitalize on especially for a yoga business. There is a certain charm that videos have. They tend to get more attention and draw in more people than the average article. This is not surprising as many people are more visually oriented.
Thus, if you want to market your yoga business like no other, it's best to maximize YouTube and video marketing. Basically, YouTube offers a very cheap option. In fact, you really don't have to spend anything when posting on YouTube.
The more important matter to consider is how to make your videos appealing and easy to understand. Coherence and appeal are the two of the things you should work on to encourage yoga business growth.
Before using YouTube as a marketing tool for your yoga business, you should first accomplish several steps to get the ball rolling. Initially, you need to create an account YouTube. Simply go to YouTube's official website and follow the sign up process. This should not take more than a few minutes. Record a brief yoga session.
If you're targeting neophytes then start with the most basic positions. If you are targeting the more advanced learners then do some really impressive positions. It is also a good thing to send current students with yoga videos. This is a good viral marketing strategy because they will likely also get their friends to see it. As much as possible post regularly in your YouTube account, this will certainly keep people interested plus the more videos you post the more relevant.
