Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness. It is performed for various reasons including strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance, as well as for the purpose of enjoyment. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent the "diseases" such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity. It also improves mental health, helps prevent depression, helps to promote or maintain positive self esteem, and can even augment an individual's sex appeal or body image, which is also found to be linked with higher levels of self esteem. Childhood obesity is a growing global concern and physical exercise may help decrease the effects of childhood obesity in developed countries.

Finding My Butt Program: Where are you????

For years my many coaches would say "Ila: use your legs and butt. Use your power house. Use that lower body". I could not for the life of me figure out what they were talking about.

I was jumping, running, springing, bounding, kicking: What else did I need to do to tap into this 'power house' resource the coaches were so frustrated that I was not getting.

Well, as the years went on. Track and Field ended when I was 13 years old do to injuries. Then the life of a swimmer through high school and University. It wasn't until my final year as a College athlete did I get what my coaches where talking about.

I FOUND MY BUTT (or more commonly known as MY ASS POWER) This was a great victory. My time improved, my energy improved and I made NCAA list for the 100 fly. Finally.

Yet as life took me on many roads. I lost interest in my ASS and found new interested in life and adventure.

Yet time has brought me back to the basics once again.

The ASS, Butt, First and Second Chakra, connection to health and vitality, connection to elimination of the digestion. Not to mention a great pleasurable creation of the human body of beauty and fantasy.

So: I am now back to developing a deeper connection with my Butt.

If you are looking for your ass, be patient, your ass is always with you and just waiting for you to wake up to the magic your Butt is waiting to share with you. Keep going:

A program to have your BUTT scream at you for attention:

5 min 16kg kettle bell swings
5 min Supine Butt lift off bench with 45pd plate
5 min 44pd Kettle Bell intestinal Pumping
5 min 25pd plate Good mornings with Overhead Press
5 min Back Raises (off bench) "I hope you like pain"
5 min Leg lift off bench holding-pulse "Singing really helps get through this one"
5 min Full Squat with Olympic Bar

ending with:
5 min sleeping tiger
5 min of plow stance

Remember this is not a crossfit routine. It is a training to really feel your ASS. So if your mind wants to go fast to just get it DONE.

Don't even Start.

Change your mind and get it in the right place for this program.

It is a feeling program with the added benefit of sculpting your body.

I love you all very deeply and am excited on your journey.

Contact us with any questions your may have on this program and others like it.

American Cream of Wheat Meet East India - Love

Okay:

Cream of Wheat, an American breakfast classic.

As a kid I would douse this morning meal of champions with Brown Sugar and REAL butter.

Oh boy this was so delicious.

Yet as I have changed my nutritional needs to enhance my health, physical and mental performance. This delicious morning meal of butter, brown sugar dressing a nutrient packed food, needed to change.

With my ever lasting thirst to explore and learn from other cultures, their styles of nutrients and the reasons behind it, have I been able to expand my plait and kitchen with a global perspective on nutritional health. From the athlete to the spiritual monk. Each having a different fueling plan to achieve a desired result.

How exciting?!

My childhood cream of wheat was introduced to the east Indian style of cooking with cream of wheat:

Thank you Manibala Jonnalagadda for every ounce of care and love that went into this dish. Your are truly and magical lover in the kitchen.

Do share that chutney sauce as well. The flavours in that made my heart beat with excitement. I had to have great restraint from not sharing and just enjoying this meal all to myself ;-)

Ingredients for the cream of wheat dish:
1. Cream of wheat 2 cups
2. Ginger 1 inch very finely cubed
3. Curry leaves - 5- 7
4. 1 chili - cut very thinly sliced
5. lots of tomatoes
6. 2 tablespoons
7. urad dal ( 1 tea spoon) - also known as black gram dal
8. black mustard seeds - 1 tea spoon
9. red chillies - a couple
10. 6 cups of water ( use the same cup used for measure cream of wheat)
11. peanuts/ cashews or both

Method:
1. roast cream of wheat until golden brown in a pan - and cool it
2. cube tomatoes
3. prepare ginger and chilies
4. heat oil
5. add urad dal
6. when it is slightly turning brown, add peanuts, then ginger, curry leaves, chilies ( red and green), add mustard seeds last they will splatter - so watch out for the heated oil splatter - add tomatoes and cook the whole thing until the tomatoes stew...

Add the water, add salt to taste and let the whole concoction come to a vigorous rolling boil
7. add the cream of wheat in while stirring the pot in a circular motion so there are no lumps ...
8. when the whole mix is even - simmer for a few minutes (no more 5-7 mins)
9. add ghee as garnish
10. and serve it hot

Oh my goodness. So delicious
