I don't talk about exercising very much or at all on here. It's something that is very important to me. More so than makeup! I'm a very active person. I work out 4-5 times a week, mostly doing muscle sculpting and conditioning. No, I'm not body building or trying to lose weight. It seriously pisses me off when people tell me I'm too skinny to work out. I don't care what size you are, everyone needs to work out for your HEALTH. It's good for your heart, helps you live longer and helps your brain. So even just walking a mile every day is good for you. On the days I don't workout, my husband and I go walk 3 miles or so (about an hour). It's decent exercise and gives us much needed quality time together.
Something you don't know is I spend more money on workout DVD's and equipment more than makeup. *gasp* It's true! If I had to pick working out or wearing makeup the rest of my life, I'd choose working out.
So with that being said, I'm skinny, I've always been skinny and I'm just maintaining my fitness and health. :-P
My fav areas to workout are my abs and butt. Why? Well, I think those are the basic problem areas for women so I work them out very hard to keep them in check. Most people think you have to do hundreds of sit-ups every day to get flat sexy abs but it's a total myth. Do NOT do that. Basic sit-ups/crunches only do so much and are not enough. I have flat, rock hard abs and I don't even do 100 sit-ups or work my abs out every day for that matter. The key is quality not quantity. If you want nice abs, then get an ab DVD that concentrates on ALL muscles of the core (upper abs, mid abs, lower abs, obliques and back). And do it every other day. Abs are no different than the rest of your body and if you work them out, you should let them rest in between workouts.
So I know that kathyfuckingjacobs works out which is AWESOME! Anyone else on here workout? I'd like to be able to share and discuss workout tips with anyone who is interested. I am a Cathe whore and mainly do her workouts so I'd like to hear what others do. :-) On my tired days, I might do Gilad or Sharon Mann. Cathe is freaking EVIL and I heard Jillian is evil too. I might be willing to give her a try.

Anyway! Onto the makeup! Oh, and I think I found a good setting on my camera that doesn't make me look tan. Seriously took me forever! I had to change something, take a couple pics, change something take a couple pics and so on until I found the white balance and that is the only thing that worked. How annoying.
