Can you wear a POTATO SACK and scream HOOOT?



Me and the girls

Beauty is timeless and thats a fact. How do you measure beauty because I hear a lot of people say you are never truly beautiful unless you ooze inward beauty. Inward beauty can come from a lot of things,your relationship with God,success, relationships with other people e.t.c. When things go well for you,you look beautiful even when you are an ugly frog. Pardon me for saying that. When  you look good you feel good. On a scale of 1-10 how do you rate yourself???  Put a block here and rate.

Does confidence and beauty fall in the same bracket? Not sure but I know that if I am confident I feel beautiful. If you were to wear a potato sack would you feel good? If your answer is no then read on. We identify with certain celebrities physically even when we know half the time their pictures gets photoshopped and they always wear make up. I used to carry Aaliyah's pic with me to the gym and Left Eye from TLC. Haha.There are short,plump,tall,lean,skinny,fat,wobbly,iron like looking celebs and I want you to just for a moment think about what their day looks like without make-up and cameras.

Madonna has an athletic body and trains like mad and does a lot of yoga apparently. Beyonce has a hot body for an almost plus size model. Beyonce will never look like Madonna at any point unless she goes and sleep in the gym. Madonna 53 years old,Bey early 30s. Point-body structure not the same,your body takes different types of exercises at given points in your life. So push your body to its limit and recognize when you get burnt out that its an age/energy thing. You will look as good as your body takes you.

Victoria Beckam is grossly thin,you know you are thin when your jawbones hang or your neck bones are protruding. Point-you need to eat. Go to the gym just visit Kauai there and stuff yourself,literally train your mouth with food. Gabrille Union is 40 years old and hawwtttt. Nicki Minaj-Iyhooooo mma wee. I dont know if thats her real booty but she looks hectic. She can do something about that booty by firming it up. If you have a crazy butt like that you need to run,I mean treadmill,outdoors, run the dog or catch some chickens, now thats a workout right there. Rihanna has a body that looks like a plank,reminds me of Jessica Alba's body-hot but she can still do a lot to it. Athletic no!

 
Ciara, Halle Berry, Cameron Diaz,Jesicca Biel are arguably some of the hottest women in Hollywood. Who do you identify with? Do you like what you see when you are wearing a bikini or lingerie. Do you understand that by simply eating healthy,cutting bread,pap,oily foods and takeouts and all you do is take a run around the block that you can look as hot as these chicks plus more.

Unfortunately fat gets trapped on your hips,butt,triceps,midriff and reducing intake can be the best move.This post is not about wanting to look like these famous people,but about undestanding that training results wont always be the same for different people. i.e Lifestyles,age,body structure,habits all play a role. So whether skinny,fat,macho built,plump, ok looking or what ever train as much as you can as hard as you can.

I teach 8 classes in a week, 4 zumba classes and 3 Shape classes(using studio apparatus) and one GAQ(Glutes Abs and Quads). I spin at least 3 times a week. I eat healthy,sometimes okyish and yes I do eat take aways mostly Nandos. I believe that if I set goals to get a certain type of look,i.e toned arms,six pec,tight butt I can. So please do not think its impossible to get a bikini body in your own bone structure. Its all possible. Looking forward to seeing yall at the gym. This is the look that I will never want to have but if this floats your boat then run along..I do not want to look like this everrrrrrr....what will people say if I walk with my boyfriend. Haebo...



Uuuu Eeeeee.



For the love of sneakers

 

Sneakers here,sneakers there,sneakers everywhere. I just have to say I love sneakers and if I had loads of cash I will buy them all the time. Just saying but I actually do sneaker shopping,I am actually ashamed of myself.



And these days sneakers are not just black or white or some dark colour-you find multi-coloured sneakers,shiny sneakers,polka dot sneakers whatever colour sneakers.

Favorite Sneaker

But I must say the ones that I hate with passion and I see people wearing, are those ones made famous by grannies in farms and they wear them for such a long time until the small toe pushes out cos it cant breathe(hole) Tommy takkies are the most hideous sneakers I have seen in my life,they remind me of poverty and farms. I will never wear them and I mean EVERRRRR.



My Reebok sponsored realflex



I obsess about how my gym gear gels in with my shoes,not colour per se but how my dance pants flow into my trainers. I love Nike,love love Nike-cos they make the best dance gear and the most hectic colours as well. I must say I have never given other brands that much of a chance until Reebok sponsored me for BBA Stargame then I was like whoa sneaker revolution is ryt here. This shoe actually takes the shape of your feet and has such awesome cushioning,its heaven to train in it.

Ever wondered what type of trainers to wear for what gym activity? Lesson 101 of preventing injuries by wearing the right shoe. Running shoes,dance shoes,cross-training and aerobics. Can you use one pair of trainers for everything you do in the gym? AHEM..

Research says different type of sneakers are for a type of foot,I say my foot man--how the hell am I going to know what type of foot I have better yet what to buy for that.

There's different feet-big toes,feet with corns,stinking feet,toes looking like carrots feet,amputated nails feet-HAHAHAHA just joking. On the real(there is flat feet and high arched feet-simple-flat feet don't have an arch and when you run your foot rolls inwards.Proof-make a footprint on sand-if you cant find the arch of your feet,thats it.

Flat feet(try masantas AKA tommies) haha,just saying. Type of shoes(stability or motion control should be on the label of your box of Nikes,Reeboks,Asics or whatever) Shoes with cushioning. Recommend Asics Gel Foundation/Nimbus sneaks.

High Arched feet-looks like a heel dude,a long Jimmy Choo heel.If you put your hand onto the bottom of your foot you will get a rigid arch meaning when you run your feet rolloutwards. You need flexibility in your shoe.

Nike Dance

On the flip side though-

More research has actually found out that running barefoot actually decreases injuries.
Why? Because the foot is structured in such a way that it is able to handle impact,and its doesnt necesarrily need packaging to protect it from impact,its not delicate or rigid and passive. So it doesnt really need super shock absorbing shoes. 
  

The American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation found that wearing running shoes "increased joint torques at the hip, knee, and ankle," when compared to barefoot running. Even a jog in high heels was better for joints than specialized tennis shoe.

 

So my conclusion would be whether sports brands convinces you to buy a certain training shoe for certain things the best thing is to know what type of foot you have to put in there. But I must say Realflex actually feels good to dance in and to also run with and thats for my high arched feet. So I have found my sneaks ,go search for yours. Or just go kaal voet/bare foot for my international readers.

I love sneakers,all types of sneakers,red,purple,green,blue,yellow. But see me in a tomy give me a slap. You can never go wrong with a dance shoe,but hey you can't wear hightops to a ballet class. Hip hop dance swagg is probably the most stylish any dancer can get so whether its allstar converse,superstar or shocks just rock the look and the feet will tell,you will just waltz through the dance floor cos you feeling good and you looking good. OUT

Tomy stay right here, you belong there at the back of my sneaker closet

 



I hate tomy takkies,garaaaaaaa



The Babes are back with more swagg than ever..
