When working out it is best to train larger muscles first and smaller muscles
last. Training large muscle groups (thighs, chest, and back) will take a
majority of your energy; therefore you need to train your large muscle groups
when you are at your strongest. Smaller muscles (biceps, triceps, and forearms)
should be trained after larger muscles because they don't require as much energy
to train. If you train smaller muscles first then you will not have enough
strength left to train your larger muscles.

ACCEPT CHANGE WITH A SMILE
Sooner or later you'll encounter an event in your life, and how you meet it
determines your future happiness and success.
Since the beginning of time, everyone has been called upon to meet such a
crisis.
A closer look will show you that most "crisis situations" are opportunities to
either advance or stay where you are.
Indeed most changes in your life will take place out of either "inspiration" or
"desperation." Whatever comes your way, give it meaning and transform
it into something of value. Your personal growth is the process of
responding positively to change. A precious stone cannot be polished
without friction, nor humanity perfected without trials.

Top 10 Tips to make Yoga a success
For results with Yoga, as with any program, one needs to
learn simple rules; dedication and persistence. You have
to be dedicated and follow the practices on a regular
basis if you really want to get results. The major
problem with most yoga 'drop outs' is not getting the
techniques right, as most people have aligned their
minds to believe, but the ability to establish the habit
of following the practices through on a regular basis.
The following tips may help you to do your yoga with
success.
1. Determination: Start your yoga with a firm
determination to see it through. Yoga begins and ends
with the mind, if you can convince yourself you really
want to do it, then you should be able to keep the
spirit. Close your eyes, search deep within you, "is
yoga really important to me?" Give it a fair try and
stick to that determination. There are days when you
feel low and won't want to do your yoga, remember your
initial soul deep determination and you will always find
the right spirit to go ahead.
2. Be organized: Things go smoothly and are more
interesting when they are well organized. Try to make a
regular schedule for your yoga practice and stick to it.
The mere fact that you will always look forward to the
period of your daily yoga practice will always keep it
in your consciousness. You will get best results from
yoga if you do your practice daily. No matter how busy
you are, keep some time free during the day and reserve
this time for your practice of yoga and meditation.
