Update your Playlist to Keep your Workout Fresh and Fun

Soda. No Duh?
You don’t want to be spending a million on your million dollar smile. Soda can cause plaque to develop in your teeth and also cavities and gum diseases. Because of high levels of sugar, sodium and caffeine present in soda it dehydrates your body and over a long time increases chances of chronic dehydration. That’s why there’s no Soda for you. Duh? Not even unsweetened ones.
If you really need that bubbly taste then we would recommend soda water. Soda water is literally just water with the bubbles! If you are looking to make your own soda water you should look at investing in a Soda Stream.

“You want a hot body? You want a Bugatti? You want a Maserati? You better work (out) bitch”. Be it the gym, walking, swimming, or dancing you got to do something to keep yourself active. It helps you burn calories faster and helps you be more productive towards that Maserati.
Rewards
Treat yourself with something exciting like a new bikini or a good pair of jeans after every milestone you achieve which will keep you going. It’s proven and is called the Operant Conditioning Theory in psychology where learning happens best when there is a reward.
