Myth: "I'm not overweight, I'm just big b***d. It runs in my family!"

Fact: There’s no such thing as being big b***d when it comes to weight.

Truth: "Big b***d" isn’t a medical term. It’s an old excuse we’ve used to make extra weight sound genetic. The reality is, that bigger bones actually mean you're taller or you have longer limbs, NOT HEAVY BONES!

Your bones only makes up about 14% of your total body weight. That’s around 23 lbs for women and 27.5 lbs for men. So nope, you're bones aren’t what’s putting pounds on your scale!

So, now that you know better, the next time you hear someone say they're "Big-Bonned", please educate them (with love) 💛

👇 It’s eye-opening to see what’s really going on in your body when you’re carrying extra weight ~ Carmenlita, The Feel Good Dr ✨

Let's talk about yoga! It's not just about those fancy poses you see on Instagram; it's a whole practice that's good for both your body and mind. And guess what? Anyone can do it! The only limits are the ones you set for yourself. Who wouldn't want to feel more balanced, strong, and at peace? Yoga is also a great way to build strength without lifting weights. Yep, you heard that right! It can help you get lean, toned, and strong.

So, how about giving the Warrior II Pose a try? It's a pose that strengthens your legs, opens up your hips and chest, and helps you focus. When you're in this pose, all your attention is on focused on staying balanced, which can really clear your mind. Plus, it'll get your blood flowing and give you a burst of energy!

Here are some tips on how to do the Warrior II: You don't have to keep your front knee at a strict 90-degree angle. You can straighten it a bit if that feels better. And if you're having trouble with balance, just keep your hands on your hips instead of reaching them out. But remember, if you've got a recent or chronic injury in your hips, knees, or shoulders, it's best to skip this pose for now. And if you need to, you can always do a modified version by keeping your hands on your hips.

So, get ready roll out your mats, towel or whatever you want and find some zen! 🧘‍♀️✨

Attaining success is no simple feat; it isn't handed out freely! You have to visualize it, speak it, believe in it, pursue it without ceasing, you work hard for it, and then you earned it! So many people want the success, without the sacrifices!
