Body – Bonita Valli

As you know, I’ve been working on my Body, Mind and Spirit and I get the feeling that this is going to shape the direction of Bonita Valli this year.

I recently downloaded an app called ‘7 minute workout’ and I love it so much, that not only have I been preaching it to anyone that will listen, but I’ve actually been doing this workout about 3 times a week which is probably more exercise than I ever did last year.

7 minutes is a series of 12 exercises that work the entire body allowing for maximum intensity in a short period of time. They appear very easy upon initial examination until you actually start each of the 12 workouts. Each workout is 30 seconds and separated by an equivalent 30 second break.

What I love most about this is the convenience (you can do it at home and the maximum requirement is a chair)! Below is a break down of each of the exercises….

Who needs a gym when you’ve got 7 minutes?

Ps. I also started playing Tennis, I’m learning how to serve now which is the greatest challenge!

I’ve always thought of that phrase as cliche… “New Year New You”! I refuse/d to believe there could/can be a new you every. single. year. But then upon discussion with a friend, I came to realize that there’s no need to knock anyone’s spirit. If the start of a new year signifies another attempt at being a better person, by all means spread your wings and fly!

On that note Happy New Year Everyone! This year, I’ve decided to hop on the bandwagon and get aligned some new year’s resolutions. Aside from the usual career aspirations, I’ve decided to try and live a little healthier. The aim is to look better, feel better and live better. This year, I’m working on my B.M.S- Body, Mind and Spirit.

Body– I’m a lazy person if not intellectually, then at least physically. My idea of a good workout is heels on a Monday morning (gotta work those pins) and laughter on a Friday evening (so necessary for my abs). But it’s 2014 and so I’ve taken up tennis. So far I’ve been playing every other week and it must be said that I am a legend in the making. LOL.

I’ve also decided to work a little bit harder on my skin (my face in particular) and so I’m making it a habit to wash my face every evening and exfoliate or use a mask once a week. Slow but steady progress I say.

Mind– I believe in the power of positive thinking, I believe in self-development and I’m working on self-discipline. It’s all self explanatory really, but I’m going to start with the little things. Setting my alarm for 6:30 and actually getting up at 6:30 as opposed to 7:00 is an excellent start.

I also recently downloaded Lumosity and I’m loving it. It works on my brain performance particularly speed, memory and attention and it takes up little to no time every day.

Spirit– This year, the dream is to pray more, meditate on the word more and walk in faith. Heaven is the goal after all and so I will be dedicating some minutes to God everyday. Baby steps will eventually translate to a leap of faith!

What are your resolutions this year?

P.S I had shellac nails done yesterday for the first time ever. I’m in Love!!! Perhaps I’ll add a little bit of pampering to my New Year’s Resolutions 🙂
