 This is a TotalBeauty.com fitness article "It's too cold outside for a run," "the gym is too crowded," "I'll do it tomorrow." We all know these oh-so-familar excuses for not working out. Sure, it's so much easier to plop down on the couch after a long day than to lace up those sneakers. But there is finally hope for even the laziest of the lazy gals. We talked to personal trainers, Pilates instructors, and physical therapists who revealed various exercises that can be done on your very own sofa.

Oh hello Gorgeous! Did you enjoy the
SAG Awards last night? Congrats to the winners, each and every one of them. Now-with all of the red carpet beauty parading by, it brings to mind-who was fully groomed from head to toe?
I ask because recently I have been introduced to a new product line called
Project FIG-for the 'fig' zones.
The product came about ( you know, necessity is always the mother of invention) because founder Sue Madigan had successfully lost more than 130 pounds!
Ms. Madigan is a former skincare executive and co-founder of
Project FIG because now she has set out to conquer the dating world. I could probably learn a thing or two from Sue when it comes to dating!
I tried all four products in the FIG skin care line and loved them. The exfoliant is awesome and the after care soothing gel is a light textured, pleasantly scented true soother!
Does anybody remember the time I tried out a razor for the intimate area? The video is below-in the mean time, enjoy these tips from the
Project FIG website and Ms. Madigan. Honestly, I tried it, I liked it and I can give it a thumbs up for a personal purchase and better yet-this is the 'go to' gift for a bridal shower!
SHAVERS
GIVE IT TIME
Be sure to shave your intimate areas when you have plenty of time
and aren’t feeling rushed. Nothing says “ouch!” faster than a nick or
cut.
TRIM
Start with trimming down the hair using scissors or a body hair
trimmer if this is your first time or you’ve let the garden grow a bit.
This reduces the chance of ‘pulling’ (no thanks!) and extensive damage
to your razor. Typically, you should get about 3 good uses out of your
razor, but only if you trim the hedges first.
BATHE
Optimally, follow trimming with a warm bath or shower to soften skin
and hair and relax the hair follicles for a closer, more comfortable
shave.
DE-PUFF
Avoid, whenever possible, grooming your intimate area first thing in
the morning. Just as you may have puffy eyes upon waking, so can other
sensitive areas retain fluid and experience a little puffiness. Wait at
least an hour after getting out of bed before grooming, or do it later
in the day to avoid possible irritation. And be sure to use Project FIG
Soothing Serum if irritation occurs.
ALL INTIMATE GROOMERS
KEEP IT LOOSE
Right after intimate grooming, avoid tight clothing, especially
after the first few times when skin may be a little more sensitive.
SLOUGH IT OFF
Be sure to exfoliate regularly in between grooming. Exfoliating
keeps pores clean and removes dead cell build up that can lead to
ingrown hair. Optimally, wait at least 8 to 12 hours before or after
grooming to avoid irritation. Project FIG preventative
Exfoliant is gentle, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth.
Remember: you are beautiful!
