Hot Fitness Tip of the week
Face yoga comprises of a series of toning and strengthening exercises for the muscles of your face. Exercises include rolling the tongue to make vibrating sounds and exaggerated yawns to release the jaw muscles. It also involves laughing a lot out loud and blowing kisses. Relaxing your face is an important part of yoga because the face is an indicator of tension in the rest of the body.
 
Words of Inspiration


Value your Spare Time
 

Your most valuable time is your spare time. Your future depends more upon what you do in your spare time than upon what you do in your working hours. It tests you, to see how determined you are to have a useful career. A good rule is to spend half of your spare time on relaxation and half on self-development. You can advance yourself and prepare for higher positions by what you do that is useful to you in your evenings and week-ends.

Your achievements will be mainly decided by what you do in your spare time. What you do when you are your own master – that decides your quality as a man. To spend all your leisure on amusement or mere idleness will keep you in the rank and file. You must have a plan or a hobby or some activity that compels you to have an active brain.
