Aromatherapy 101: Muscle Aches and Pains

Hope you had a fantastic weekend!  The weather here was wonderful and I tried to enjoy every minute of it . :)

One of my favourite moments was actually inside.  A long, hot bath spiked with lavender oil to soothe my weary body.

I am a big believer in the benefit essential oils, so I thought I would did a little deeper into the world of aromatherapy and some of the oils that can help with muscle aches and pains.

Note:  I am not an aromatherapist.  Check with you health care professional before you try any new treatments.

My 3 Favourite Lower Body Exercises

I am going to do something a little different today.

Instead of featuring my favourite blogs, (I talked about blogging yesterday :) I am going to show you 3 killer moves that will help your sculpt your lower body.

These are my favourite because they are compound exercises, which work more than muscle group at once.  This means you can workout in less time and have more time to go out and enjoy your Friday night.

Do this workout twice a week and you will have a booty like J.Lo and legs like Britney in no time ;)
