Posted by  Sia Cooper One of the biggest complaints I have gotten from my clients when I choose to make a pistol squat a part of their fitness regimine, is  “But I cannot do a pistol squat!” Fair enough. Pistol squats are one of the most difficult squats to perform because not only are you adding in the factor of balancing your entire body from falling, you are also using your entire (insert your body weight here) pounds of bodyweight. Photo : Tumblr What is a pistol squat?  A pistol squat is basically a one-legged variation of your normal squat exercise that involves balancing your body weight onto one leg as you squat downward. (pistol not included) Some people enjoy this difficult feat by taking a  step  further, like this gal. Holy shit! Do not try this at home.. or gym! Photo: Tumblr Why do a pistol squat?

Photo: Sven Hagolani All too often, skincare advice seems aimed squarely at people who already have perfect skin. But for those of us with, shall we say, more  difficult  complexions, many traditional skincare ‘musts’ are downright detrimental to our face’s  health and beauty . Take those of us with dry skin. If your face ever feels tight and flaky, you know that there are a few very important skincare rules to keep in mind—and some things that you should always skip. Here are 7 of the things you should never,  ever  do if you have dry skin. 1. Forget to moisturize. If you have normal or oily skin, it’s probably fine to skip a day of moisturizing here and there. Not so if you’re dry. If you have dry skin, you need to break out the big guns. To begin with, you’ll probably want to consider using two moisturizers.

So why do I bother training my core? A strong core will support your spine, protecting your from back injuries and pain.  This is especially important for people who sit all day long on the job with slouched posture. The Plank is my favourite exercise for strong abdominal and back muscles. I love the plank because it targets all the muscles of the core (including the lower back). You will notice I included 2 themes & variations of the plank in today’s workout video. Do not underestimate the plank!  Not only does it strengthen you core, but it also targets your shoulders, arms and glutes!  Remember, the longer you can hold the plank, the more resilient your lower back will be to injury, making it the ultimate prerequisite exercise for all weight lifting and sports.  And once you shed your layer of  tummy fat , you abs will look magnificent thanks to all the planks you performed! Equipment Required: A timer (use your smart phone) Shock-absor...
