ABOUT ME!!








I started this blog and realized that I did not do a "formal" introduction. My name is Lunden Souza and I live in Southern California.! I am a student, salon coordinator, model, cocktail waitress, entrepreneur, etc etc. and I am very pleased to be able to share my life and advice with all of you, as well as learn things together! I am 21 years old and I love being young and energized! However, as we all know, that changes with age!

I hope to send a bit of motivation to everyone to get up and start getting HEALTHY!!!

I have had numerous people ask me my "secret" or my "workout" but I feel like it's a whole way of life as opposed to just one "secret trick."

MYTHS:
*Working out is easy
*Working out is always fun


Life is such a great opportunity, and I am ready for the challenge to push to maximum potential!!

Morning Workouts

Now, obviously the morning is not the best time for everyone to work out. Some may switch between a.m. and p.m. workouts depending on their schedule for the day (which is what I do)! Some mornings it is just really difficult for me to wake up and get going. Sometimes I would much rather hit the gym after work instead of sitting in traffic.

I did some research... and actually morning workouts have A LOT of benefits as opposed to workouts at other times in the day.
now, DUHHH...just because you cannot fit time in the morning to workout does not mean that you should give it up all together.. but I figured these benefits were worth mentioning.

Morning "workout-ers" are...

1. More likely to stick with it
2. Catch better Zzzzz's
3. Have a lot more energy
4. More likely to eat healthier

I think that if you workout at the same time everyday (whether it be morning or night) it is possible to get those benefits. The more of a schedule I put my life/body on the more likely I am to follow my diet and to actually get all my errands done in a day. Productivity is KEY for 2010.
