200g ginger
100ml vegetable oil

4.Blend it with a food processor or hand mixer and add the lemon juice and salt.

- Include some good back exercises, such as lat pull down and row, in your weights routine
- Be sure to stretch your chest (sure you stretch your legs after a workout, but be honest - do you really stretch your chest? This has made a real difference for me!)
- Keep your shoulders down, away from your ears, when performing exercises
- When standing, instead of thinking about jamming shoulders down, think about increasing the distance between chest and belly button
- There are numerous Swiss Ball exercises you can perform to help 'turn on' the smaller muscles of the back and help reverse rounded shoulders, more specifics from Elliott on those next week.

 You have a glow to you, and you are naturally attractive. You know how to highlight your good points. Beneath that shining exterior is a sensitive soul. You are more thin skinned that people realize. You prefer others to be gentle with you. You need to be handled with care. You may be fragile, but you're also tough deep down. You're firm enough to stand up for what you believe in. |
