What Is Omega-3?


A part of LifeStyle Living is using brands that have the best value, knowing the important details of what we should take towards our vibrant optimal health.  One of my customers often says that her health is her wealth.  It is so true!


Today's segment is to answer the question on what is Omega-3.  Omega-3 is an unsaturated fatty acid essential for overall good health, especially for brain and heart health.  Just look in the internet and you'll see many articles about why Omega-3 is important.  Doctors highly recommend taking Omega-3 to their patients.  Furthermore, Omega-3 is great for those of us looking to take a proactive approach into our own health.


There are many brands out there.  A good brand to take come's from Nordic Naturals typically sold in GNC and they come in various prices.   However, I know I am biased, but I highly suggest Essential Source Omega-3 from Mannatech.  LifeStyle Living is about taking the best possible products out there.  In my opinion, Mannatech has the best natural products out there.  The facts and the research shows it.


It's ultra pure making it a really clean fish oil supplement to take.   Though, back in the old days when our cows and chickens was free roaming, that is how the people got their Omega-3.  Now most of our meats are farmed and they are fed grains and oats which lack the important nutrients.  But fish are still free roaming, eating algae rich Omega-3 and we eat the fish/fish oil supplement to get our Omega-3.  Mannatech's Essential Source Omega-3 is also very potent.  We need potentcy today.  In today's world, we need more support to maintain our good health.  Essential Source Omega-3 is the only Omega-3 I have taken, but I have heard with other products that there was an issue with fishy aftertaste or fish burp, but this product addressed that.  Also, we are facing environmental problems and I am so glad that this fish oil product is also environmentally friendly.  Great right?  I made a video below about Essential Source Omega-3.  Enjoy!

Questions & Answers on OsoLean

People today are looking for a safer and more effective way to lose fat;  fight the battle of the bulge and WIN!  They are looking to achieve a healthier LifeStyle.  It is known that excess fat can lead to many challenges so in a health standpoint, it is most important to stay lean.  Socially, it's good too.  To me, being lean made me more confident about myself. I hated the fact that someone pointed to my tummy as if i was the Pillsbury Doughboy at one point.  That jerk!

Below, I made a video about the some of the most commonly asked questions about OsoLean.  I personally take OsoLean myself and I recommend to everyone.  It's such a great product.  Check it out!


The eastern cultures and the old way of thinking is that being fat resembles wealth.  Today it is much the opposite.  Typically the more wealth people have the more concious they are towards their own personal health.  Wealthy people take a proactive approach to their health (they can afford it).  They focus on prevention and looking & feeling great!  I would assume they do this to enjoy the fruits of their labor.  They deserve it!

You should too! Regardless of where you are in life, whether you are just starting out in your career or working on your career especially in pursuit of being wealthy you got to start taking OsoLean.  You got to look great right?  Live absolutely well and let OsoLean help get you leaner.  That is LifeStyle Living folks! LifeStyle Living is about being healthy and wealthy.  You can't have one without the other.  You can't be incredibly healthy and incredibly broke right?  I take Robert Kiyosaki's advice, he says it's wake up time! Learn and develop your financial IQ then you can afford to be healthy!

Car Review: Toyota FJ Cruiser

LifeStyle Living is about tasting the finer things in life.  Don't you agree?  Well I got to test drive a 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser today.  I must say, I am very impressed with the styling.  I know to some, it might look a little weird, but it's really meant to look like the FJ Cruiser of the 70s and 80s.  I think it's cool that it looks so Retro.  I love it.  Front to back is totally Retro.  I also love the big tires with the nice stock rims.  I've seen some FJ Cruisers with nasty looking rims.  I'd prefer to keep it stock.


However, the inside is something else.  It has a rugged dashboard.  Macho styling.  Though, the middle console where the radio and aircondition controls looks a little cheap.  In all honesty, the interior looks cheap for the price tag.  Though the 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser ranks 9 out of 23 Affordable Midsize SUVs. But the Price Tag in the Philippines is almost twice as much.  You can also look up the specs online and some official reviews.  The Gas Milage sucks, however the 2010 model, to find out is improved.


I didn't get to test drive it off road, but I have heard that it is very capable off road with great handling. On the street, it's ok.  It feels like the 1997 Toyota 4Runner Limited my family had before.  Though the way you are seated, it doesn't really give a car like ride that of the 4Runner of past.  The handling is everything you'd expect from an SUV.  It's nice because it is tall and you can see everything from above.  Visibility of the blind spot is not as easy to see as the 4Runner or the car since the cabin windows are small.  Getting into the back seat is a little hard as well with the suicide doors. Cramped too.  The cargo is a lot more spacious that I had originally thought.   The cargo just looks small from the outside.  But compared to other SUV's, the cargo area is still small.


Otherwise, the FJ Cruiser is a cool retro styled SUV you can take off road or in the city.  Just be prepared to pay for the gas if you're used to a 4 cylinder car that I too currently drive.  I like it!  Despite Toyota's current problems, I still love Toyota.

How To Make Your Vision Board



Materials Needed:





OR




AND




Instructions:


The whole goal of making a vision board is to have something physical to look at to remind you of the things you want most out of life: your goals. Not everyone is going to have the same things in their vision boards.  Not everyone want's BMW's...


Be careful of putting a bunch of expensive stuff.  Only put items in your vision board that you want most.  This is a common mistake that I have been guilty of myself.  I mean what you really really want most.  It could be words as well.  Not just pictures.  I printed out words. Better yet, write it down, bold and BIG.


If you can't find a picture of what you want, then draw it.  Stick it on the board.  What ever it is.


Most people will find this activity silly, but it is so powerful.  Some of the most successful and brightest people do this.  Maybe that is why that so few people is as successful as some.


When you're finished, post your Vision Board in a place where you'll see it daily.  If you have an office, post it directly on the facing wall.  You'll have no choice to but look at whenever you are sitting down.


Look at your Vision Board everyday.  Imagine that you have already achieve those goals.  When you're done imagining, use it as a motivational tool for you.  You can't just wish for something, you gotta make it happen.   Take action!  If you don't know what to do, just wait, the way will be shown to you.  Just believe in the power of the law of attraction.  You will attract it so long as you want it.

My Workout Routine

I go the the gym almost daily.  Why?  Because I feel good every time I go to the gym and I feel great when I'm done.  I also feel confident about myself.  Though, I do not do your standard body building.  I do more of a conditioning type of work out.  I am not a professional trainer or anything, but I just want to share what I am doing.  My goal is to have a swimmers body without swimming.

The reason I don't swim often is because it is hard.  The pool is cold and the availability of a pool is sometimes scarce, for whatever reasons.  That, and the cholorine in the water is bad for my skin/health.  That is why I prefer not to swim in the pool that often.  See, our skin is like a sponge and it absorbes what ever we put on it.

Anyhow, this is my  workout routine. Everything is done at 2-3 sets @ 20 reps each.

1.  Stretching: Stretching is important and it gives you better results than without stretching.

2. Abs.  I use an angled bench to do upside down crunches.  I only lift my shoulders using my abs.  2-3 sets.  Then 2-3 sets of leg lifts on a flat or angled bench.

3.  Chest.  Bench press with 95-105lb barbell.  2 sets at 20 reps each.  Followed pec flies using this machine.  Another option is it use 25lbs dumbells to do the flies on a flat bench.

4.  Biceps:  curls 15-20lbs at 2 sets / 20x both arms | Triceps:  rope pushdown 30-40lbs (as you can see, I don't use heavy weights but keep the reps as high as I can.

5.  Shoulder Press 20 lbs:

6. Lat Pull down 50+lbs.  

7. Row 50+lbs

9. Seated Hamstring Curl 50+lbs. Then use the same machine to do quad lifts.

10. Squats100lbs - 135lbs

11.  Cycling for 15mins

12.  Stretch again!

Finished! This routine typically takes 1hr.

Adding Supplements is good as well.  Here are my recommendations.

10 Things That Make Me Happy

LifeStyle Living is about being Happy, Healthy, Wealthy and Wise. Today, I wanted to just talk about what makes me happy. Perhaps we might share the same ideas. Perhaps we might disagree. Regardless of what this list is, how about share your 10 things as well.

Here goes:

#1. Exercising: This morning, after the gym, I thought about writing this. In all honesty, I freaked out a little bit about turning 30 and evaluating my life and such. Anyhow, after going to the gym, I felt great! It's so true, working out and exercising releases endorphins, the happy hormones (I learned this while watching Legally Blond). So, working out makes me happy.  That and age is just a number!

#2.  Making Money.  Look, I know many people say that money doesn't buy happiness, but when I don't have any, I feel depressed.  When I make money, I'm happy!  So Making Money makes me happy.  If money doesn't make you happy, that is quite alright.  To me, money does buy happiness.  However, I should share this story of someone I know who is worth a lot of money, and he openly stated that he was more happier when he didn't have that much money.  It's true, but I believe when someone is doing something bigger them themselves, that brings happiness.  Hence...

#3.  Purpose.  Purpose brings me happiness.  Personally, my life purpose is to be able to help people.  Personally, I chose Mannatech, Inc., a nutrition based network marketing company.  Mannatech has great products that truly impact lives.  Mannatech also has an incredible business opportunity that too impact lives.  If I can help people with health and wealth, perhaps I can help them be happy.  Right?

#4.  Family & Friends.

#5.  Relationships.  A functional and productive one at that.  None of this dysfunctional stuff.  This one is pretty much self explanitory.

#6.  Cooking.  Hey, cooking is an art.  I do quite a bit of moving and certain places doesn't have the stuff I like.  So, what I do, I make it at home.  It's so much fun.  It's fun because I actually had some practice and watched a good friend of mine do his miracles in the kitchen.   How I wish to be just like him.

#7.  Golf.  Golf makes me so happy, especially when I'm playing well.  Though on a side note, bad days are just plain bad...  ha ha ha!

#8.  Shopping!  Yeah, I think you would agree with this one.

#9.  Dancing!  I still like to go out and party.  Break it down on the dance floor.  Be surrounded with good company.

#10.  Daydreaming.  Personally, I zone out sometimes.  I go in my own little world and think about all the possibilities.  What I can do...  How to better myself.  Many positive things just pops in my head and I implement them.  Though, I do sometimes have bad daydreams.  I try my best to stay away from this.  Gotta keep things positive you know.  Positive thinking brings positive results I would say.

Anyhow, there are many more things that makes me happy and those are just the 10 that I though of while writing this.  I encourage you to think about what makes you happy.  The first 10.   What ever it is.  Perhaps share it with us!  LifeStyle Living is to be happy!  Our happiness is key to everything else.  Without happiness, we won't have anything.   And what I personally want is everything!
