Workouts designed to get you fit, fast
Advanced Meditation Technique – Breath of Fire
Feb 8th
The Breath of Fire is an advanced meditation technique that has many benefits. If you already practice basic meditation, this one will be weird to try but will give you a wonderful feeling of calmness internally.
It is a used in Kundalini Yoga. This breath of fire meditation technique is best performed in the lotus position rather than lay down. Sit up straight, hands in a comfortable position. Close the mouth and breathe rapidly out through the nose. It should sound like fast sniffing. Make sure that when you sniff your diaphragm raises and falls but it should do this involuntary so you will not have to think about it. The fitter you are the more snuffs you will able to do in one minute. I wasn’t taught to put the tongue out beforehand like shown on the video but could be worth a try. Try to build up to three minutes.
Practice makes perfect so if you feel weird, just do it alone and practice.
Here’s the Breath of Fire in action.

Tone The Breasts
Feb 1st
I hate bras and underwear and avoid them at all times. Because I hate bras so much I have my own little discipline programme that I undertake every day – 20-30 pressups. This has always kept my breasts toned and full, even when I do the pen test.
Pressups are wonderful and tone the surrounding breasts tissue wonderfully. I first started getting into pressups when I started attending boxing training in 2003. Performed regularly, pressups will help to make your breasts appear fuller. Breasts do not contain muscle so you must strengthen its surrounding tissue. Please do not waste your money on expensive breast toning creams. Why do people think that these work anyway? They are ridiculously expensive, probably contains some seaweed or firming extract, and will not work over the long term. The best way to tone the breasts is through exercise.
I would highly recommend pressups. Obviously, the more challenging the pressups the better the workout. As well as toning the chest area, pressups will also tone the triceps, back, and abdomen. Pressups are wonderful and so verstatile. Beginners can perform effective pressups on their knees.
Other much easier exercises to tone the chest are is to press the hands together in a prayer position and clench the chest area or try the bench press. This is a wonderful exercise for both men and women. The pen test is a test to find out if your breasts are toned or saggy. Simply hold one arm over your head, place the pen under the breast. If it drops, your breasts are pert. If it stays, your breasts are starting to sag slightly. I would highly recommend toning the breasts with pressups. They are free and can be performed anywhere, even against the wall while you are waiting for the kettle to boil.
I have not worn a bra for years and years. I really do loathe them for some reason. My breasts have remained the same because I like to put in the effort through exercise.
Dairy Free Diets
Jan 21st
It’s now my third day off dairy and I feel less bloated, am going to the toilet a lot less, and my stomach is flatter. Apparently, there is this thought that milk is good for people but cow’s milk was made for a cow not a human.
I have changed to Soya Milk, Rice Milk, and Almond Milk. The only thing I can state about these milks is that they are expensive, taste nothing like normal milk, and they’re watery. I suppose it’s a taste I will gradually get used to. The sad fact with drinking coffee with these alternative milks is that I don’t want to drink coffee too much. I’ve had three cups today. On milk I would have been on my eighth or ninth cup now. That could be a good thing.
I am going to have cheese once a week though. There is no way in the world I can give up cheese. I will allow it on my cheat day.
Dairy free diets can improve the body’s digestion and prevent mucus building up in the body. Milk or dairy products can also cause allergies and these can be tiresome for those who suffer.
Whether I can keep this up I do not know. I do miss a cup of coffee with sterilized milk so badly but if it’s helping my body then it’s worth it. So I can’t really say I’m on a dairy free diet if I have cheese once a week but that is my choice. Before deciding to opt for dairy free I was having cheese almost every day, just a little bit but it is full of saturated fat and calorific too.
Two people have stated they thought I had lost weight. Whether it’s this simple change or whether I have added muscle and shed fat I do not know, but it’s put me on a buzz.
