Best Exercises for Women

Single-Leg Deadlift

I love this exercise because it lifts and tones the glutes and activates my entire core (which helps prevent back pain).

How to do it: Grab a pair
of dumbbells and stand on your left foot. Lift your right foot behind you and bend your knee so your right lower leg is parallel to the floor.

Bend forward at your hips, and slowly lower your body as far as you can. Pause, then push your body back to the starting position. As you come up, think about using your glutes to push your hips forward instead of lifting from your back. Keep core engaged and chest up during the entire movement.

Foods that prevent wrinkles

Aging can be scary for some of us as you start to see those wrinkles pop up one by one. You might be looking for that magical fountain of youth that will keep you looking and feeling young forever, I know a lot of us are. People are so interested in staying youthful that an incredible amount of money is spent on potions, lotions, and cosmetic surgery, making beauty a multi-billion dollar industry. But, although these products may help, they don't actually address the underlying cause of wrinkles—lifestyle and diet.

Whatever happened to Sharon Stone?

Sharon Stone was a bonafide '90s icon thanks to her attention-grabbing roles in Total Recall and, of course, Basic Instinct. Following her Oscar nomination for Casino in 1996 (she nabbed the Golden Globe that same year), Stone seemed on course for a world-conquering career. But now, 20 years on, it's difficult to pick out even one role since that comes close to those three.

5 Reasons Working Out at Night Will Change Your Life

I don't like to work out in the morning. I'm not a morning person. The aroma of coffee isn't something that wakes me with a smile.

What happens to your body when you don't exercise enough

Some people are born with naturally thin frames and the metabolism that allows them to eat whatever they want and never gain weight. It's tempting for these people to forego exercise altogether in favor of hanging on the couch and watching TV with a friend. As a certified personal trainer, I've had many clients who weren't convinced they actually needed to exercise since they were naturally thin. Exercise does a lot more than help us burn calories to lose weight. In fact, not getting enough exercise can have a pretty significant impact on what's going on in our bodies and the future of our health. What really happens when you don't exercise enough?
