If you know, I am a dancer, so I try to strengthen my body as much as possible. One of the most important set of muscles to strengthen every day, are your abdominals. Even if you are not a dancer, this can still be beneficial. Now, let's start this work out! You should always start off with a short warm-up routine. If you want me to post mine, just let me know. ;) - Pulse Crunches 20x Lay flat on your back , clasp your hands in front of your body, and pulse. Try to keep your back flat on the ground, or else the exercise won't work. Also, keep your neck up, with your eyes looking at the ceiling, and keep your chin off of your neck. - Broken Down 30 Second Plank: 15 seconds regular 15 seconds rock side to side The point of this is to keep your back flat, and not to keep your bottom sticking up. Try to keep a straight line from shoulders to hip, and hip to ankles. If you have to, start off on your knees. I had to for the first few times doing it, but af...

We pray for blessings, we pray for peace Comfort for family, protection while we sleep. We pray for healing, for prosperity We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering. All the while, You hear each spoken need Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things.

Welcome to my life, September of 2016. You hold new beginnings for myself; Teaching dance, doing dance, a brand new school year, different hangouts with friends, and I believe many, many, unexpected happenings. I hope to become more motivated to do things I love, and become more talented with more practice for those things. I hope to become a better daughter, sister, and friend to those people in my life. I hope to do well in school. I hope to become less self-centered, and more aware of the people surrounding me. I hope to exercise often, care for my body, and push myself. I hope to dance with passion, gracefulness, and inspire others. But then, with all of these wishes, I have to fulfill them, but am I missing the bigger picture? God gives me the ability to do all of these things. I need to thank him for giving me these opportunities to become "better." So, instead of speaking, ( or in this case, writing ) to September, I will just say, thank you, God, ...
