 With
the right exercise plan, you can reduce your cellulite
and make your lower body look smoother and firmer. The
trick is working all your lower body muscles from every
angle, reducing the underlying fat stores and replacing
lost muscle tissue to give the area a taut, toned
appearance throughout.

Counting your Passion
 Take
a second a think about what you are most passionate
about. It might be a cause, your family, your
opportunity, your dream, your why, or something else. It
might be many things. Are you more passionate about some
than others? Is there ONE single thing that you are so
deeply emotional about it brings you to tears to think
about it? Are you willing to do almost anything for it?
That is the one you are TRULY passionate about.
Think about your own goals. Take a look at each one, and
decide right away which ones are things you’d like to
have, which ones you’d LOVE to have, and which ones, YOU
MUST HAVE. The latter are the ones you should be working
on asap!!
