We all know how important it is to exercise, but sometimes life gets a little too busy to squeeze in a workout. So what can you do to get exercise in your daily routine?
Wellspring Camps offers the following tips to stay in motion while at work and school. According to the experts, just walking and counting your steps can result in hundreds of calories burned. Here are some simple tips to help you get your workout on:
- Record steps per day on a calendar posted at your desk
- Seek parking spots and further away from destinations
- Walk to lunch destinations whenever possible
- Make a game out of guessing the number of steps it takes to go from one place to another
These small steps (no pun intended) will put some exercise into your busy day!

Congratulations – you’re expecting a little bundle of joy! With all the changes your body goes through in nine months, are you equipped with the tools for pregnancy survival? Here’s what Marvelous Girl suggests you keep in your mommy toolkit:
- A Topless Undershirt by Blush ($15): Soon your belly will outgrow every cute shirt in your closet. Now you can keep the wardrobe you already have and use the topless undershirt to help cover your belly as your shirts start to ride up. The undershirt is to be worn like a tube top, but around the waist, allowing a huge amount of stretch and great support.
- Tummy Rub Oil by Mama Mio ($35): Every pregnant woman’s biggest fear is stretch marks, so taking care of your skin is a must. This tummy oil is the best stretch-mark protection you can buy, having gone through 15 years of trials and been praised by celebrities like supermodel Christy Turlington. With 100 percent natural ingredients, Tummy Rub Oil has Omega-3, 6 and 9 …and isn’t at all oily.
- triple oxygen™ instant energizing mask by bliss ($52): When you become pregnant it’s frustrating because there are so many products and medicines you can’t use. Moms with troublesome skin will most likely have to stop using their usual skincare products all together, but triple oxygen instant energizing mask will help keep problematic skin under control while being safe enough for baby. The mask is an oxygen facial in a bottle (without the expensive spa price) so it refines and exfoliates the skin, clearing and minimizing pores.
- Vitamin C Home Infusion Facial Kit by Murad ($70): A woman’s hormones go crazy during pregnancy, and many experience blotching, darkened skin. This weekly home facial kit is safe for your baby and will help prevent dark spots caused by hormones. You’ll notice brighter, smoother skin…I love this product!
- Preggi Bellies Ball Workout ($24): Staying fit during pregnancy will make birthing easier. This workout video involves a bouncy ball and will raise your heart rate without you ever standing up! The toning includes both on and off-ball exercises — they use whichever technique is the most effective. Taught at three different levels, the moves are all designed to make it easier to give birth and care for your baby.
With these tools you’ll be better prepared for pregnancy. So take care of yourself and make the pregnancy all about you…because in nine months life will forever be all about baby!

Kim Kardashian
Recently Kim Kardashian was featured in Us Weekly as the unofficial poster girl for Forever 21’s line of plus-sized garments. Here’s what Kim had to say on her blog:
“I am a huge fan of Forever 21 and I’m very happy they have expanded their line to include a plus-size range, but I am not in that size category and this article makes it sound like I am! I am a curvy girl and I love my curves, but curvy and plus-sized are two very different things. I work really hard to maintain my curves while staying slim and healthy, so to be classed as a “fuller-figured woman” of extra large proportions is a little offensive.
For the record, I am a size 2, not 2XL.”
Recently Kim told Us Weekly that she’s down to a size two thanks to a routine of an upbeat warm-up, upper-body cardio using five-pound weights, squats, lunges, ab exercises and stretching.
Update: Kim’s gone blonde for the summer. Check it out http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedishrag/2009/04/blonde-kim-kardashian-looks-a-lot-like-beyonce-knowles-.html.
