9 Tips How to Find Time for Exercise

Today I will share my tips how to find time for your workouts. Previously I mentioned that I don't believe in excuses when it comes to exercising. If it is important to you and if you want to maintain in good health, you will find time. It is all about determination. Same goes with committing to eating healthy.

My favourite quote:


"If you don't have time for exercise, you'll probably have to make time for illness." 

Robin Sharma

Going for a walk with my son đź’—

Here are my tips:


  1. Have a morning workout. Try to arrange time to do it in the morning. It doesn't have to be more than 20-30 minutes long. Then you don't have to worry about it after work. It's done and you are committed. This way you'll have a nice kick start to your day. Try it at least once! This would be an ideal way to exercise for me because I love training in the morning and getting all pumped up.
  2.  Double the fun and do a workout with your children/spouse. 
  3. Get your whole family involved. Make this some special time with your spouse and train together. 
  4. Settle a fitness date with your friend! I like to catch up with my friends by going for a walk/run together. Or if this seems impossible, go for a walk by yourself and call to your friend. This is one of my favourite things to do when I'm walking.
  5.  Instead of taking the bus or car to work, bicycle, run or walk.
  6. Make use of your lunch break and go for a walk or to the gym.
  7.  Multitask: if you like to watch TV, do a simple workout at the same time. Hitting two birds with one stone.
  8. Move all day long. I was surprised about how much I was earning steps during my workday when I got my Fitbit watch to count them for me. Ever since, I have made a decision to move as much as possible during my workdays as a teacher. Just adding a few steps in an hour will have a huge impact on your entire daily steps! 
  9. If you can, walk to the supermarket or when you need to run errands, walk a few miles instead of parking your car every time.

I Quit Drinking Coffee and it Changed My Life

The U.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says about 80 percent of U.S. adults take some form of caffeine every day. Accordingly, coffee is one of the most commonly used ingredients in the world. But caffeine does so much more than just keeping you awake.It’s a central nervous system stimulant that affects your body in numerous ways. So, let's talk about this and why drinking coffee might not be good for for you. While there has been numerous studies about the benefits of coffee, such as it increases alertness , lowers the risk of depression and reduces the risk of brain diseases , it has also negative effects on sleep and anxiety and it can cause headaches, panic attacks, adrenal fatigue, loss of energy, it can deprive minerals and vitamins from your body (read more on here ) As I mentioned before( here ), I quit drinking coffee last spring.

Why Are Cola Drinks So Addictive?

Did you know that in Argentina people drink the most soft drinks in the world? Their annual consumption is 155 liters per capita.  Not far behind is number two, the USA with 154 liters per capita. Americans are one of the largest consumers of the soda drinks in the world because of their modern lifestyle and high incomes. As it is very common to drink colas or other soft drinks but I have heard many people saying that they cannot stop drinking them. I started to wonder what is it that makes drinking Coca-Cola so addictive? Is it the caffeine, sugar or the artificial sweeteners? Besides what's the harm in drinking Coca-Cola? Below I will examine these three issues. Caffeine content The caffeine content in a 330ml serving of regular (sugar) Coca-Cola is about 32 mg. Compared to a a mug of coffee which contains 100 mg of caffeine that is a bit less. According to the Coca-Cola company the caffeine in their drinks is not addictive. However, if you are really sensitive to caffein

Viimeinen hormonimyrsky: imetyksen lopettaminen

  Olen imettänyt lähes vuoden ja nyt tämä tie on tullut päätökseen. Imettäminen herättää paljon tunteita ja vaikka olenkin ollut onnellinen siitä, että olen pystynyt tarjoamaan molemmille lapsilleni parasta ravintoa, ei se ole aina sujunut ongelmitta. Usein pohdin, että pulloruokinnassa olisin päässyt "helpommalla". Kuitenkin molempien kanssa jatkoin imetystä sitkeästi ja näin jälkikäteen ajatellen onneksi niin tein đź’— Ehkäpä tämän vuoksi imetyksen lopettaminen kuopuksen kohdalla ei ollutkaan niin helppoa. Viimeiset imetyskerrat sijoittuivat rauhallisiin aamuhetkiin joten sen lopettaminen minulle olikin haikeaa. Miksi? Ehkä se oli se läheisyys ja tunne siitä, että se on sitten niin lopullista. Nautin, kun sain pitää vauvan vielä hetken aikaa rauhallisena vieressä. Lopulta tulikin päivä, jolloin tyttö heräsi mieheni kanssa enkä enää imettänytkään. Eilisen kerta olikin ollut tietämättäni viimeinen kerta. Mitä kehossani sitten tapahtui, kun imetys loppui? Pari päivää lopettamise

5 Effective Weight Loss Drinks

When it comes to losing weight, there is a lot of different kinds of detox packages and weight loss drinks available. However, I would not recommend using these products because they only offer short term benefits if any benefits at all. Instead I encourage to use a weight loss method which is sustainable. Usually this is acquiring healthy eating and exercising habits for life. You can achieve this by following my online nutrition programmes . Surely different starter kits, such as detox kits and ready to eat soup diets may come in handy but eventually when you have lost some weight, you should opt for methods which offer permanent results. Therefore, in this post I will share with you 5 effective weight loss drink recipes. I would like to remind you that drinking these drinks are not your only diet.  On the contrary, these are recommended beside your healthy meals and these healthy drinks could replace your other sugary sodas and juices..Besides they are also healthy and delicio

How to Stay Young and Healthy

The other day I watched a really interesting BBC document about how to stay young and more specifically how to prevent dementia and Alzheimer's disease. As you get older your brains begin to shrink. As a result of this your cognitive skills diminish. How to prevent this? The key is to use your brains on a daily basis. More specifically scientists have discovered that learning a new language has the most efficient way to prevent dementia because learning will increase the size of your brain. According to these scientists other important ways to affect the size of your brain were reading exercising in general learning a new skill, such as playing guitar studying In the document researches investigated whether regular walks or ping poll plays had an effect on the brain tissue. The test groups walked or played ping poll for 2 hours per week. The results revealed that both test groups gained positive effects on their brain tissue because of their increased exercise. Mo

Paljonko mökin rakentaminen maksaa?

* kaupallinen yhteistyö  osakesijoittaja.fi  Rakentaminen on arvokasta puuhaa varsinkin tänä päivänä, kun rakentamiskustannukset vain tuntuvat nousevan. Kuitenkin suurimpaan osaan rakentamiskustannuksiin voi vaikuttaa itse omilla valinnoillaan. Kustannukset syntyvät muun muassa kesämökin koosta, muodosta, toteuttamistavasta sekä varustelutasosta. Erot syntyvät varsinkin lämmitys- ja ilmastointiratkaisuista sekä materiaalivalinnoista. Näiden lisäksi myös valmiin mökin sisustaminen maksaa. Olemmekin kohta pääsemässä tähän vaiheeseen rantasaunassa. Kun kustannuksia on tullut hieman odotettua enemmän rakentamisvaiheessa tarkoittaa se sitä, että joudun miettimään sisustusvalintoja tarkemmin. Alun perin ideana olikin ostaa mahdollisimman paljon käytettyä, sillä oma arvomaailmani on muuttunut paljon parin viime vuoden aikana. Käytetty linjalla siis mennäänkin, mutta muutamia tavaroita, joudumme teetättämään, jotta saadaan esimerkiksi sopiva keittiötaso. Mitä tulee rakentamiskustannuksiin, nii
