Hi everyone! A month ago we've started the 30 days Stretching challenge to increase our flexibility.
We have tried different kinds of exercises, trying to figure out which work better for us and we are happy to say that we will show you our personal stretching routine very soon!
In the meanwhile.. we want to talk about the importance of proper breathing while you stretch.
In fact your breathing does have a huge impact on the efficacy of your flexibility routine.
There are many breathing mistakes people do while they stretch like holding their breath, breathing quickly or too deeply, inhale and exhale at the incorrect time that can really affect your exercise and even cause significant problems..
Hi everyone! We're sorry we didn't have the time to write many articles this week but we're here to remedy :) This has been our first week of holidays and we have had a very relaxing time. We also had our very first day at the beach and we had so much fun: we love the feeling of the sun tanning our skin, walking to the water's edge, the sand under the feet, and relaxing to the sound of waves breaking!
Today we want to give you a few tips to prepare yourself for a day at the beach and to feel more confident and comfortable wearing a swimsuit.
But before we start, we'd like to remember you a very important rule you don't want to forget.
FIRST RULE: remember that you're going to the beach to have fun and enjoy some time with your friends or family. So try not to worry much about your appearance: of course you want to look good but remember people don't care about how you look as much as you think they do! This summer try to feel good in your own skin for what you are (on the inside and out) - no matter if you think you should lose some pounds or you don't like how your hair look after a sea bath: put a smile on and FORGET IT. Smiling raises your confidence (and we are all different and beautiful in our own way - flaws and all).
That said, enjoy the following tips :)
Hi everyone! If you are following us on our journey, you already know that we really care about healthy lifestyle, and that hydration is one of the main topic we've been writing about for the last few weeks (read about the WATER CHALLENGE we've started). In fact paying attention to the amount of liquids we consume daily, especially in summer, is very important. But can be very hard too, especially if you find water tasteless and "boring". In this case, you might want to drink beverages with some flavor, and infused water is the healthiest alternative you could find. Fruit and herb flavored water is not only delicious but also healthy and good for detoxification and energy.
Hi everyone! Today is the first day of a new week and what better time to start a new challenge? Last week we've introduced you to the new subsection of the Twin life category: "Challenge", where we write about all the new challenges we decide to try out. Last Tuesday we've started our 30 days stretching challenge, and we are seriously feeling so good. It's amazing how good it makes you feel when you start working on yourself! We're so happy!
So, today we want to start a new challenge and we hope you'll join us on this journey! This time, the topic is water and what we can do to drink enough during the day.
Drinking enough water every day is very important. We all know that the benefits of water are many (here is an interesting article we recommend you to read about it) and that is fundamental for our body to stay hydrated.
But sometimes we have so many other things to think about and to do, that we remember to drink only when we are particularly thirsty. So starting a "WATER CHALLENGE" is what we need to start finally paying attention to the amount of liquids we consume daily, especially now that the weather is warming up. Let's start this together!
