Sassy Skin


Most of us are always trying to get glowing skin. We buy very expensive potions and lotions, pay a ridiculous amount of money for facial treatments and sometimes we inject posion into our face only to have little to no results. I’m guility of paying $140 for a 1 oz bottle of Le Mer Creme. What??? Stupid I know but you know what I looked EXACTLY the same after using the cream. Dumb Dumb Dumb!!!
The answer to having J-LO glow skin isn’t in the creams or going the facial clinic. The answer is plain ole Exercise and Healy Eating! You can do that!

What you need to do:
Just for the record you need to do weight training, cardio exerise and flexibility to have a well rounded fitness program. For a radiant glow you need cardiovascular exercise. Anything that keeps your heart and lungs pumping (walking/running/spinning/whatever it is that you love to do) will keep the blood traveling and makes your skin looked flushed when exercising. What are the results after what do you get? Healthy glowing skin
You should/must do cardiovascular exercise 3 times a week and aim for 45 min. You should work at a moderate/high intesity and try for non stop activity.

Not only will you get luminious skin from exercise but one of the most fun benefits...FAT BURNING! Who doesn’t love that? Your heart and lungs will get stronger too so there is a lower risk of early death. So get your cardio on and not only you will feel confident post-workout but your skin will be ready for it’s close up.
