Hair Update! GOC

My GOC or grow out challenge is becoming a very hard challenge :/. I've recently have been shooting alot for a magazine and doing shoots for print ads, so I had a lot of  wear and tear on my hair from straightening, products, and additional styling they've done. So I decided to put in a weave! I've had it in a week and a half before Christmas. It looked good, most people thought it was my hair. Today I got bored with it and took it out so to my surprise I did see some growth...way more than I expected in less than a month! But the con to this story is the shedding I experienced..I mean it looks Normal. Overall I loved the look I had, and did see growth. Also I think a properly installed weave and moisturized hair underneath is a great Protective style or Transitioning style.

Fitness Update! Week 3

Daily Routine:
                      Consist of 5 min warm-up/ intense Cardio.  Basically High knees, Jumping Jacks, Mountain Climbers...anything that with get your heart pumping.

Abs: Crunches, Sit-ups, Standing Obliques, Oblique Crunches. (abt. 3 sets of 10-15 each. of 40 of each)

Glutes: Donkey Kicks, Fire Hydrants, Super-man, Squats, Bicycle crunchs. (abt. 4 sets of 15-20 of each)
Keep in mind squeezing and releasing the glutes throughout the entire move, contracting your abdominal muscles.

For More a Effective Glute workout I use the pre-exhaust method. Do as many of one or more glute exercises that really engages those muscles in the butt til you experience "burn out"/ or until  you really feel the burn! Then when those Muscles are really engaged start an immediate exercise that engages more than one part of the body.
