Taking yoga to the next level

Were you just completely overwhelmed with the amount of information out there, feeling lost about where you should even get started?

10 Things I Want to Achieve With the 4-Hour Body
Unless you’ve been living in a closet with no access to Internet or TV, you’ve probably heard of Tim Ferriss and his book The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman. It’s the successor to The 4-Hour Workweek and I have to admit that Tim Ferriss may just be a bit too obsessive and crazy when it comes to controlling and monitoring the body... read more

Ten Tasks for Spring
April is nearly over (I can hardly believe it!) and I certainly hope that winter will not be coming back for many months. We did have a bit of a cool snap here in Germany and it is definitely still very “fresh” when we wake up in the morning (around 50 degrees) but in the sunshine, it’s been just gorgeous and if I didn’t have mounds of work holding me to my computer, I would outside... read more

Utilizing blocks of time
In the movie About a Boy, Hugh Grant plays a man who has more money than pure interest in life, and he talks about how he breaks down each day into “units” of 30 minutes. This not only helps him to structure his day, but most tasks he participates in take about this amount of time. So he manages to keep himself from getting bored. A hair cut, a TV show, a meal. And if need be, the blocks can be... read more

Yoga bags and more by Lslie Art
I’m so happy to finally have NOH back online. It has been a tumultuous couple of weeks and I’m guessing that I have about 20 new gray hairs after this past week! So today I wanted to celebrate being back online by sharing about another awesome sponsor for the Made in Germany giveaways. Plus, I wanted to let you know that there will be a sneak preview of all the goodies being given away AND a... read more

BodyRock Challenge: Week 7
After my not so stellar performance in Week 6, I really wanted to turn things around in Week 7. I was so excited about the change in routine and all the crazy new workouts that I was going to be doing, that I actually got up on Saturday morning and worked out. It was a bit weird to know that everyone else in the house was still sleeping soundly, including Stefan, but it was a rather fun workout (despite... read more

BodyRock Challenge: Let’s forget Week 6
Here’s how it went down this week. Monday I completed two rounds of part 1 Buns & Fat Burning workout in 7 min 27 sec. This is better than two weeks ago but I still felt just as dead afterwards. Still wanted to hurl, still my head was pounding. I’m starting to think I’m just not ready for that level of workout. The other days also really get me winded but I also don’t feel like... read more

BodyRock Challenge: Week 5
Despite it being a mediocre week for my workout routines, at least I gave it my best when I was working out. I was having trouble with my motivation and positive thinking…perhaps it was all the late nights watching Olympics instead of getting some sleep and preparing myself mentally for the day ahead. I find that if I think about how excited I will be to wake up in the morning, how energized and... read more

BodyRock Challenge: Week 4 — Workin’ it HARD
So far this was my most successful week yet. I worked out 4 of 5 days which is a new all time high and next week I’ll be going for the full 5! I wanted to take photos last night but got sidetracked and totally forgot. I’m not sure how well you’ll be able to see the progress in photos anyway, but I will say that I’m noticing the differences on myself. Ab definition, more muscular... read more

BodyRock Challenge: Week 3 — Adding Bun & Fat Burning Intensity
There is a new warm up video from Zuzana which is a bit long but will become second nature once you’ve done it a few times. You should always warm up your body and even your mind before you work out. If you don’t, you are much more likely to injure yourself. You will also have a much more powerful and energized workout after using her warm up principles because you are programming yourself with... read more
