    Zumbathon Sisters Week (SYRIA)




    Zumbathon for Syria

    The horrors of war are far-reaching and impact all walks of life. Both men and women alike are affected by conflict, and yet the war stories of women remain untold. In an effort to bring to life the issues surrounding women in war, Muslims Without Borders developed “Sisters Week”. This year, in light of current events, MWB is focusing on Syria , and aims to both educate the public about this issue and raise funds for women in need. Rape is frequently employed as a tactic during times of war, but unfortunately even after the conflict has ended the battle wounds of countless women remain. Rape victims not only face physical problems, but psychological, economical, and social issues as well. But there is hope. With proper treatment we can support our sisters and tell their stories. Sisters Week is March 23rd-31st and Nadoona and Muslims Without Borders have partnered up for a unique nationwide initiative.
    Zumbathons will be held nationwide to support this cause.


    Please join me representing Maryland and spread the word and bring your friends to this 2 hour zumba event to use your love of fitness to raise money to help others in need. ALL Proceeds go to benefit Syria!


    *Minimum requested donation is $15.00 but feel free to donate more if you want or also donate what you can if you can't attend.

    How to Lose Weight Before The Summer
    (From Discoveryhealth.com)

    With summer just around the corner, many of you are beginning (or resuming) going to the gym in an effort to reveal those hidden six pack muscles. While for most this is the typical beginning of another trip down Failure Avenue, for many it is the beginning of a journey to achieve the body they have always wanted. It is quite possible, today more than ever, to ditch those tank tops and strut your stuff around the beach this summer.
    These simple tips can prove a valuable aid in helping start you down the correct path:
    • Modify bad eating habits now – remember you must create a caloric deficit for your body to dig into fat reserves. Your regular weekend drinking and munching sprees must come to an end if you are to achieve your goal. Start simple, eliminate sugary soda and other refined carbohydrate snacks; this can shave off a decent amount of calories per day. Opt for more satisfying, nutritionally dense foods, such as nuts, lean meats and slow digesting carbohydrate sources.
    • Hit the weights regularly – besides helping develop those underdeveloped and underexposed abdominal muscles, weight training also significantly boosts metabolic rate; in fact much more than a corresponding cardio session. While cardio is important to burn excess calories, if coupled with regular, intense weight training the results can be phenomenal.
    • Get adequate rest – this will serve two major purposes, for one your body regenerates its cells during the restorative phase of sleep, making it important to get ample shut eye. Secondly, since summer will be approaching, the odds are high that a lot of partying will be on your itinerary, causing major sleep deprivation. During sleep levels of growth hormone and testosterone also raise significantly, rewarding you for your efforts in the gym.
    • Drink ample water – no other essential element has been found to hinder athletic performance as much as dehydration. Just a little degree of dehydration can make your energy levels suffer, besides from being downright dangerous. Adequate hydration has also been reported to have a favourable effect on metabolic rate in addition to the ability to suppress appetite. Dieters who drank two cups of water before each major meal consumed on average 20% less calories throughout the day. There is simply no reason that your water level should not be increased if you are a hard working athlete.
    • Wise supplementation – losing weight does not require rocket fuel. Many simple, yet affordable supplements can give you the edge needed to break a plateau. Caffeine, for example has been shown to increase metabolic rate as well as promoting fat breakdown. Green tea extract has a favourable effect of metabolism also, in addition to being a powerful antioxidant. With the simple addition of a few common supplements, used judiciously, your goal can become a reality
    Apply these few tips for at least eight weeks, and then stare in awe at your new body.
