Today: Added some new pages to my Fitness For the Rest of Us Facebook page: 24 Day Challenge, and Featured Products. Check em' out :)

Keratin Complex Update: My hair is totally curly again LOL. It has been going rapidly back to curly and has been as curly as before the treatment for a while- SO while I loved it while it lasted- I can no longer give it a thumbs up in terms of value. $150 for one month of straight is TOOOO much....Here is my original post- which I have also updated....

Today's Review: PeakFit Challenge Dynamic Flexibility
Michelle Dozois, 2011 **** (4 of 5 stars)

This is a 30 minute athletic stretch & athletic yoga workout. Michelle leads with a group of exercisers in a large white & hardwood room. You will need your PeakFit Band for this workout. This is the active recovery dvd included in the set. The workout is intended to increase balance, strength, & flexibility and includes flowing standing sequences and floor stretches.

Exercises include: a sun breath series (a faster paced athletic sun salutation series), low sumo w/ a stretch, torso rotations, chair squats w/ big arms, yoga lunges, flowing curtsy, pulsing side lunges, hip rotations, a nice warrior sequence, plank pikes, and lower body stretches using the band on the floor.

This workout is suitable for all fitness levels- everything was straight forward- no complicated poses or super stretchy stretches. This is pretty athletic in nature but does include some nicely paced yoga-esque poses. Perfect for those of us that want to get in more yoga but arent huge yogi's. Michelle does a great job of stretching the muscles with flowing dynamic sequences.

Today's Tip: Refined Produce

Refined produce include vegetables and fruits that have been cooked to the point that most of the vitamins, fiber and minerals have been lost, and canned. Using canned vegetables and fruits in recipes and in meals will not nourish the body and will cause the body to not have enough fiber to maintain proper digestion. Eating a great deal of processed and refined vegetables and fruits can lead to malnutrition and constipation. Choose fresh fruits and vegetables that still retain their nutrient levels and fiber, instead of refined, canned produce. Read more on LiveStong.com.

But the goodness doesn't stop there. So Delicious Dairy Free also offers coconut creamer for our morning coffee (YUM), yogurts, sorbets and ice cream (DOUBLE YUM). For a decadent treat, try using So Delicious Dairy Free Chocolate Coconut Milk in your breakfast smoothie.

Irresistible set

This set is super cute. Love the fishnet that hook to the bottoms. Super sexy! Love the bright pink with black- what a fun combo. Super cute bows add a fun twist to this set.

Pinstripe Chemise & Thong

I love this chemise- looks like a wild librarian ;) no waist band and the Empire waist is super flattering, no pinching, no gathering. Fun and flirty style. Nice low cut top for a little peak of cleavage. Simple and attractive colors.

 Red Lace Corset 

I have this corset and LOVE it! Cute & quality fabric. Love the black on red. Cute with jeans or with yoru fav pair of undies for a fun night in. Slight pushup adds a little boost where you need it. And it has a zipper so you dont have to worry about tying it up. Easy to get in and out of.

Jesse Corset

This is gorgeous! This in on my wishlist. I think it would wear nicely for a romantic night

in or even paired with jeans for a night on the town. Ooh la la! Love that the front pattern tapers in- makes 

the waist look smaller. HUGE bonus in my book. Also like the no waist band feature.
