When you close your eyes and imagine the very best version of yourself, what do you see? That was the question asked by Ralf Bohlmann during a detox conference I attended. Maybe you see yourself with five kilos less, maybe you have tighter thighs or more abs. I’m pretty sure you have a clear picture in your head. The question is, how do you…
If you’re anything like me you’ve probably seen a BOSU Ball at your gym, wondering what that strange “half-ball thingy” is. I had never really known what to do with it until I saw a great Bosu Ball workout. That’s when I started researching what workouts to do with it and collected the best BOSU Ball workouts here.

Especially riding through the vineyards had always been a dream of mine. When we were on vacation in Umbria I finally had the…
Sometimes life is like a balloon ride. We have to get rid of old ballast first before we can fly, live and dream again.
