Your most embarassing fitness questions answered by a fitness guru

www.Vshred.com

If you follow fitness trainers or enthusiasts on Instagram, we are besieged by women at the gym who look supremely confident, airbrushed and without a bead of sweat. The reality is, most of us don’t look or smell our best after a tough workout.  Not everyone is comfortable walking into a class of strangers in form-fitting gym clothes.  And what about the sounds our bodies make when we are working out?  What about those of us who want to exercise but feel we are too heavy to even begin a program?  Fortunately, we have Certified Fitness Trainer, Model Turned Fitness Expert, Instagram Fitness Guru & YouTube Sensation Vince Sant, co-founder of the online platform www.vshred.com  to answer the questions you are too shy to ask. 

Why do I let out a little pee when I exercise?

Vince Sant explains that “This is very common amongst anyone who’s had a child. the term is stress incontinence, meaning you involuntarily leak out a little urine. It can happen when you exercise, laugh, or even sneeze.” First and foremost, don’t be embarrassed. Nearly every woman that’s given birth has experienced this. There are, however, two things you can do to improve stress incontinence says Vince, “Learn how to do Kegels, and practice engaging your pelvic floor in Pilates-based exercises. Both of these actions can help strengthen your pelvic floor and reduce the severity of your stress incontinence.”

Will running make my boobs sag?

 “Sag happens to all breasts that are natural. It’s normal for the collagen that keeps breasts firm to stretch out thanks to gravity, time, pregnancy, weight gain, or weight loss.” Although there’s limited research, Vince Sant says, “The up and down motion of running could logically contribute to sagging as well, but the health benefits of running definitely outweigh that possibility. If you wear the right sports bra, your breasts shouldn’t experience a lot of movement anyway. So, don’t be afraid to run!’

Why do I seem to sweat so much more than other people at the gym?

“How much you sweat is really individual, and it doesn’t necessarily mean anything positive or negative about your exercising ability,” says Vince. On average, men tend to sweat more than women, and if you are overweight you may sweat more near the end of your workout because it takes more for your body to cool itself down. Ultimately, it’s not a bad thing if you find yourself drenched in sweat while the person next to you on their machine seems to be relatively dry.

Why does running long distances make me have to poop?

Long distance running can aggravate some people’s digestive systems, particularly if you suffer from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). But you don’t necessarily have to have pre-existing digestive issues to get some unpleasant stomach symptoms on long runs. For example, studies show that as much as 50% of runners in a 10k race experience digestive issues, including runner’s trots. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about, but there are things you can do to combat the unpleasant reality of urgent, frequent bathroom trips. Vince suggests avoiding high-fiber foods a few days before a big race, staying well-hydrated, and avoid caffeine.

Why do I tend to pass gas during certain yoga poses?

Passing gas during the occasional downward dog is extremely common. Why? You’re bending and stretching, which massages the internal organs—which can sometimes stimulate your digestion. (There’s even a yoga pose called “wind reliever). Vince recommends, limiting any high fiber snacks beforehand, and stretching before your actual class to “eliminate” ahead of time.

What’s the best way to start exercising if I am completely out of shape?

Literally just put one foot in front of the other. A Chinese Philosopher once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” And walking is nothing to be ashamed of. Vince stresses that “It really is exercise and there are all kinds of athletic people and celebrities in amazing shape who use it to stay that way. Get a pedometer and take at least 10,000 ‘baby steps’ a day and start improving your fitness.”

I have gym anxiety. What should I do?

There are four psychological reasons for gym anxiety: Not being sure what to do, comparing yourself to other people in the gym, feeling like people are judging you, and feeling like you don’t belong. What are a few ways to reduce gym anxiety?

Vince Sant provides some tips:

Ask friends how they feel about their own programs. You can even try to go to the gym with a friend, which is a great way to stop feeling like you’re getting judged.

Watch YouTube videos for each of the exercises you plan to do on your first day at the gym.

Wear workout clothes that you feel are both flattering and comfortable.

Pick a gym that is known for being more low key as opposed to a “meat market” or a “sceney gym.”

If going to the gym is too anxiety provoking, you can try an online fitness platform such as www.vshred.com

My Skin Chafes almost Everywhere: My Butt Cheeks, Under My Arms, Inner Thighs, How Do I Reduce the Pain?

Skin-to-skin and skin-to-clothing rubbing can cause a red, raw rash that can bleed, sting, and cause pain during your post-workout shower. Moisture and salt on the body make it worse. Underarms, inner thighs, along with the bra line (women), and nipples (men) are vulnerable spots. Vince advises, “Wear moisture-wicking, seamless, tagless gear. The fit is important. Baggy shirts have excess material that can cause irritation; a too-snug sports bra can dig into skin. Apply Vaseline, sports lube, Band-Aids or Nip Guards before you run. And moisturize after you shower. Drier skin tends to chafe more.

Am I too overweight to work out?

Forget the fancy equipment, you don’t need anything to start. Keep it low impact and rest when you need to. For example, Vince suggests the following, “Jog for 30 seconds. It doesn’t matter if you have to walk for 5 minutes to get your breath back, just do it, then jog for another 30 seconds. Do that 3 times. Then when you’ve done that for a couple of days, jog for 10 more seconds each time. Then only take 4.5 minutes to get your breath back. And as you lower the rest time, repeat it 5 times instead of 3. Keeping the overall workout time at around 20 minutes total is fine.” If you haven’t exercised for a while, the body heat, breathlessness, and sore muscles can be off-putting, but those feelings quickly become more manageable.     If you have any concerns about your health and ability to work out, always consult with your doctor first.

Korean beauty products are created with the Korean beauty philosophy in mind

K Beauty Doctor Breaks Boundaries

Korean beauty products are created with the Korean beauty philosophy in mind and designed to work long-term by nurturing the skin starting at the root. The long-term, gentle approach is what really helps skin get that glow that truly beams with that signature “K-beauty healthy and hydrated look”.

Meet Dr. Jenelle Kim, the Queen of Korean Skincare and formulator of Cannabis Beauty Defined, the first-ever Korean skincare line that incorporates CBD oil into traditional K-beauty products to further enhance the benefits your skin already receives from traditional skincare.

CBD hemp oil has a huge range of skincare benefits due to it being loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties to protect against aging skin. Hemp oils act as a barrier to strengthen and soothe skin and protect it from sun damage. Your body absorbs the oil, too, allowing the benefits of the CBD to go beyond just your face.

Forbes Magazine predicts the multi-billion dollar CBD industry to grow 700% by 2020 with Dr. Kim standing in the frontline as a massive contributor to this number with her luxury skincare line. So, who is the woman that disrupted the beauty industry with her CBD infused products? Dr. Jenelle Kim, a skin enthusiast who’s passionate about her purpose to change the way we nourish our skin is inspired by Eastern philosophies and her Korean lineage to create products that change not only how we look on the outside, but how we feel internally.

5 Simple Tips to Help You Get the Most From a Chartered Flight

5 Simple Tips to Help You Get the Most From a Chartered Flight

 

woman on jet

 

There’s no doubt that renting private jets is one of the best ways to travel. If you’ve never done this sort of thing before, you do want to keep a few things in mind as you schedule a reservation. Doing so will help you get the most from the flight and may even save a little money.

Always Ask About Empty Legs

Sometimes called empty sectors, empty legs develop when a charter flight brings visitors to your city but does not have anyone schedule to take the flight back to the jet’s home base. Unless someone does choose to book a flight to the jet’s home city, it will have to return empty.

Why does this matter to you? Many charter services are happy to offer seats on an empty flight at discounted rates. The jets have to return to the home base anyway, so why not make something to help offset the cost?

If you can arrange to leave within the time frame that the jet must depart, you could end up saving quite a bit of money. This approach works especially well when you find yourself needing to make a trip on short notice and would rather not take your chances flying standby on a commercial flight.

Find Out if Meals are Served

Depending on how long the flight will last, meals may be served. When renting private jets, find out what sort of food and drink is considered standard for the distance you are traveling. Remember that many charter services are fine with passengers bringing along food if they like. That does make the planning easier if you need to follow a certain type of diet because of allergies or some type of chronic health issue.

Ask About Internet Service and Similar Amenities

You’ll find that many charter flights offer Internet access as well as power sources for your personal devices. These services are available on empty legs as well as flights that you book well in advance. Whether you want to relax by checking out what your friends on social media are up to or if you need to do some work in preparation for a meeting you will have at your destination, rest assured you will have the resources on hand to do whatever you like.

Can Ground Transportation Be Arranged Through the Charter Service?

Charter services do focus on renting private jets to their clients, but they can also help with other types of travel needs. For example, do you need a rental vehicle at your destination? Would you like to have someone take you directly from the airport to your hotel? There’s a good chance that the charter service can make those arrangements for you. Best of all, they may be able to lock in a lower rate than you could manage on your own.

Are There Additional Fees for Rescheduling The Return Flight?

There are times when circumstances require that you return sooner or later than originally planned. When this happens, you do want to find out what if there are any empty legs going your way, and if you would incur any fees or charges for rescheduling the return trip. Depending on what the service has available and if there is a jet that is returning empty to your city, there may not be any cancellation or rescheduling fees.

Take the time to learn more about charter flights and the options that the service has to offer. You will find that most services are flexible and do their best to make the travel experience simple and comfortable for clients. Try this mode of travel once and you will never want to fly any other way.

5 Tips for Choosing the Perfect Footwear For Your Office

 

Part of being properly attired for the office involves selection footwear that is in line with the dress code. Fortunately, there are quality brands like Merrell shoes that offer all sorts of solutions. All you have to do is decide what qualities you want and find a pair that has all of them. Here are a few tips that will help you choose a pair of shoes for the office that will serve you well.

Casual or Business?

What sort of footwear is included in your company dress code? Consider what sort of designs the employer considers appropriate. For example, did you know that a pair of slip-ons may be considered too casual even if they are somewhat dressy? If that’s the case, then you might want to consider something like an Oxford design with a lower heel and subtle appearance.

You can bet that among the best shoes for men in Canada you can find something that’s fine for the most casual office setting or one that leans more toward the traditional and the conservative.

The Colour Matters

Colour may also come into play when it comes to selecting shoes for the workplace. A safe choice with any type of traditional office setting is to go with basic black. A nice pair of Merrell shoes in black will go with just about any type of business attire one can imagine, making them more versatile.

If your company dress code does allow options like darker brown shades in addition to black, feel free to invest in a pair or two. They will certainly work on those days when you wear some lighter shades of slacks and pair them with a darker sport coat.

Materials That Hold Up Well Are Important

Always consider the materials used for the shoes that you select. Some synthetic materials look fine at first, but they don’t tend to wear well. Lesser brands may be made of materials that crease a lot faster than those made using higher quality materials. The last thing you need is a new pair of shoes that look heavily worn after only a month or so. Spend a little more for the best shoes for men in Canada and you will actually save money on shoe repair and replacement over the next couple of years.

Go With a Comfortable Fit

Since you will be wearing the shoes all day, it makes sense to go with a pair that feel comfortable. That means the size must be perfect and the cushioning should be sufficient to absorb the shock of walking over concrete floors that are covered with nothing more than a thin layer of padding and carpeting. You’ll find that all the designs offered by Merrell shoes have excellent cushioning and sizing that makes it easy to enjoy a proper fit.

Support Matters Even If You Are at a Desk All Day

Support is just as important as comfort when it comes to shoes for the workplace. Perhaps you do spend the majority of your day at a desk. Even so, you need support that ensures your feet and legs are not subjected to undue stress. Thanks to the support offered by the best shoes for men in Canada, your feet will feel fine at the end of the day. Your lower legs will also not feel strained and the odds of experiencing muscle cramps are kept to a minimum.

Remember that investing in the right pair of shoes for the workplace is not just about projecting a professional appearance. It’s also about wearing something that’s good for your feet and lower legs. Choose carefully and those shoes will serve you well for a long time.

5 Excellent Reasons to Get a New Tattoo or Redesign an Old One

What do you think of tattoos in general? Do you have any right now? Would you like to have one or more? The answers will tell you if tattoos in Toronto are right for you. If you would like to explore the reasons a little further, consider these scenarios that lead many people to get a new tattoo or have some additional work done on an older one.

You have a New Story to Tell

You are no stranger to body art in Toronto. In fact, you have several tattoos and each one of them has to do with an important or person in your life. Now that you’ve entered a new chapter, there’s an event that you would like to memorialize with body art. Find the right professional, come up with a design, and determine where you would like it to go. Once it’s done, your new story will always be there to tell when the mood or setting is right.

An Old Story Has a New Chapter

Maybe an event that you thought was complete turns out to have a little more to it. By all means, keep the tattoo that tells the beginning and have it augmented so that it reflects the rest of the story. Remember that existing tattoos in Toronto can be altered or added to in such a way that they continue to capture the essence of the original inspiration while broadening the subject to tell a little more. A skilled professional can help you come up with ways to enhance the old design and ensure it captures the essence of the new.

There’s Someone or Something You Want to Honor

Many people choose body art in Toronto as a way to create a living memorial to someone they love. It could be a romantic partner, a relative, or anyone else who has brought many good things into your life. It can even be some event that has changed the course of your life for the better.

A professional can work from a photograph, a description, or even an idea and come up with the perfect tattoo design. As with the design elements, you get to choose the colours that are in keeping with the topic. When the work’s completed, you have something that makes it all the easier to sense the presence of that person or at least remind you of why that individual or event is so important.

You Appreciate Body Art But Don’t Have Any Right Now

You have friends with some wonderful tattoos in Toronto. You like they way they look and the stories they tell. Up to this point, you’ve never gotten any tattoos but now seems like the right time. There’s someone special who’s been in your life for some time, or something has happened that you want to remember all of your days. That’s worth a trip to a reputable tattoo parlor for getting your very first tattoo.

You See a Design That Would Look Great

You were out and noticed a tattoo that really caught your eye. The design is something that would work well with the body art in Toronto that you already have. After telling the person how much you love the design, it’s perfect acceptable to ask where it was done. If it was an original, ask the person if he or she would mind if you took a photograph and used it to recreate a similar design. What you will find is that many people are happy to oblige.

What’s your day like? If you have the time and are in the mood, why not visit your local tattoo parlor and see what designs they have? You can also bring along an original design that the artist can enhance a bit. You can bet that once the work is done, you’ll be happy with the results.

A Woman’s Guide to Buying Your Dream Car

Buying Your Dream Car

 

Buying your dream car be a tricky thing. Particularly when you are shopping alone, you are more likely to get taken advantage of. Unfortunately,  most dealerships and vehicle sellers assume that women don’t know a great deal about cars, they try to quote higher prices. Now, although this may seem like a bleak situation, don’t give up hope. To get your dream car at a price that you are happy with is relatively simple – as long as you know the right tactics. So, without further ado, here are all the tricks that you need to remember:

Do Your Research Beforehand

So, maybe it is true that you don’t know much about cars. This doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t learn. Now, you don’t need to memorize every detail and you definitely don’t need to be an expert in vehicles. At the same time, when it comes to shopping around for vehicles, a little preparation can go a long way. This way, when you are scrolling through the ads on Kijiji cars, you will be aware of what to look out for and what to avoid. Not to mention, it also makes it a lot harder for anyone to take advantage of your naivety.

Consider Secondhand Models

There is no denying that a car is one of the most expensive investments you will make. This cost can go up even higher if your dream car is a luxury model. The good news for you is that your ideal vehicle doesn’t have to be out of your reach. Instead of opting for a brand new model, why not consider one that is slightly used? For instance, if you really want to own a pricey Coupe, check out the Coupe classifieds. You will be pleasantly surprised to find some older models at a very affordable price.

Don’t Make Snap Decisions

When you do find a vehicle that seems absolutely perfect, it can be tempting to snatch it up right away. Making impulse purchases, though, won’t do you any good. Rather, make a note of the car, the details, and the cost and step away. This will give you some much-needed time to check out all the facts and figures of the car. As a result, you will be better equipped to decide whether or not this is the vehicle for you, after all.

Be Fully Aware of Your Deal

The final obstacle you will have to overcome is actually purchasing the car and signing the papers. All the technical jargon and endless paperwork can cause you to simply sign the documents once they are presented to you. However, under no circumstances should you resort to this. Instead, go through every detail and make sure that it matches up with what you have agreed on with the dealer or the vehicle owner.

It is clear that buying a vehicle by yourself, as a woman, doesn’t have to be a bad experience. With the right guidance and tools, you will be able to walk away with an excellent deal.

Surprising Hacks to Look Beautiful on Your Wedding Day

 

Every bride wishes to look like a princess on her wedding day. Unlike real princess, she doesn’t have a team of helpers on her wedding day. Exhaustion is common to build-up because you have to do several things. On your special day, you have to look relaxed and energized. You want to look beautiful because you will be the center of attention on this day. Just like every bride, you will need special memories of this day for your remaining life. From wedding dresses to makeup, everything should be perfect. For your help, we have some surprising hacks to look beautiful on your wedding day.

Glowing Skin

Women try different things to look fresh on their wedding day. These simple things can make a big difference. Make sure to wash your makeup before sleeping. Use herbal face creams and face masks. On the day of the wedding, each bride needs a unique look. You will need a glowing skin and fresh smile to impress the audience.

Ideas for Glowing Skin

To get glowing skin, you will need a combination of pore cleansing, chemical peels and much more. Carefully work on your sweet smile. It doesn’t mean to practice your smile, but pay attention to your teeth whitening. Your wedding images look beautiful with white teeth.

Select Dresses in Advance

A wedding gown becomes the center of attraction of the whole ceremony. It should look perfect on your special days. For this reason, you have to prepare a trendy dress for your wedding. Choose a dress in which you look beautiful and comfortable. While choosing your dress, you can’t ignore bridesmaid dresses. Your clothing should correspond to the generic style of the wedding ceremony.

Carefully Choose a Hairstyle

Carefully check all options for your hairstyle and select correctly complimenting hair accessories. You will need a beautiful headpiece to compliment your hairstyle. After completing your preparation, stand in front of a mirror and check your final look.

Enjoy a Sound Sleep in the night

A comfortable sleep in the night is essential. Days before a wedding can make you look fresh. Avoid late night parties and sleep early in the night. You can’t have liquor 1 to 2 days before your wedding. If you are busy in part before your wedding night, you may feel horrible, exhausted and irritated on your special day.

Choose Light Meals

You have to quit junk food and unhealthy meals at least one day before a wedding. Make sure to avoid overeating to stay healthy on your special day. Keep it in mind that this day will become the happiest day of your life.

Beauty & Skincare Products That Are Getting The Job Done Now. (Part One)..

Beauty & Skincare Products – Is your skin sensitive? Is it dry & itchy, eczema prone, oily, normal or acne prone? Do you have fine lines and wrinkles? You just bought a new product. Do you love it and keep it? Do you hate it and return it? Do you keep it in hopes to try it again for a better result? Do you exchange it for another product?

Take a minute to figure out the final cost of buying skincare & cosmetics, dollars and time,  products over a year. Over a lifetime? OK, so a minute may not be enough time. Maybe you don’t want to think about it at all. Maybe you love spending money on products and don’t care. Maybe you are frustrated with the costs and time spent. Maybe you are a beauty product junkie with no stopping!

How many bad reactions have you had to skincare products even from the well known brands? According to WebMD, “For some people, tretinoin wrinkle creams and serums can cause irritant contact dermatitis. Many people are sensitive to sunscreen. Beauty products containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) may cause problems. The labels “hypoallergenic,” “dermatologist tested,” “sensitivity tested,” or “non-irritating” don’t guarantee that your skin won’t react.”

I have been using skincare and makeup products for over 40 years. I have had ups and downs, product love, product hate, frustration and the best and worst skin and makeup days. I have kept products I hated. Never re purchased products I loved (maybe I would find something even better). Looking back, it actually has not been fun. Honestly, I am tired of the ups and downs, the break outs and rashes, dry skin, burns and and the money and time spent on getting it right.

At this time in my life, I am more older and wiser and know what works and what doesn’t….Finally! I know what is worth the money and what isn’t. Here, I am going to share some of my favorite products with you. Keep in mind, I am in my fifties with mature skin and specific skin issues. These are products that work for me, products that are on my A-List. They may not work for you.

I love and have become comfortable and confident using these. These are not all products from the same line. A well-formulated product from any line will work with a well-formulated product from another line as long as they work for your skin type. I really don’t think that your skin can’t tell the difference of you are using an eye cream from Brand X or a Day Cream from Brand Y as long as they work for you.

lip sleeping mask

 

One of the products that I have had nothing but great results with is the Mamonde Sleeping Mask. Your body boosts blood flow to the skin while you snooze which means you wake up to a healthy glow (Be sure to get enough sleep). But be aware that the air around you can dry out your lips while you sleep. A heavy or hydrating lip cream or balm is recommended. As long as I can remember, I have had product on my lips overnight. The Plum Blossom Mamonde Lip Sleeping Mask is a forever favorite. I apply a generous amount before bed. I make sure that I get it on over the pigmented lips edges also. Seductiveness of  a woman’s lips surely can not be underrated.

 

NASSIFMD Line Eraser

 

For a supercharged way to fend off forehead lines, I massage NASSIFMD Forehead Line Eraser into my skin before bed each night, being sure to get it massaged well into the top eyebrow area. Then leave it on while I sleep. I use it in the morning also, just a lesser amount. Love!

 

DermaDoctor Rescue and Protect Facial Cream

 

Wrinkle Revenge, the name alone made me try it. Wrinkle Revenge Rescue & Protect Facial Cream by DermaDoctor “helps improve the appearance of the visible signs of aging and leaves skin feeling fabulous.” (taken from the website). Although DermaDoctor Wrinkle Revenge was formulated for the face. I use this only on my neck and decolletage. It works wonders. I use it every night. I also massage it onto my upper breasts. I use it the same during the day followed by a sunscreen. I have never had luck with a cream, serum or emulsion formula on my cheeks, nose and chin. There I use a generic Retin A product to control my acne.

More to follow…check back soon.
