Diet control

Doing exercises and walking alone cannot reduce your body weight, only a good diet control will effective. Working out even three non-consecutive days a week can benefit the busiest of persons. Following a thorough warm-up, train each muscle group with one basic exercise, of 3 sets of 10 repetitions each. The routine should not take more than 45 minutes. Weight training increase metabolic rate, improves hormonal response, and conditions the cardiovascular and circulatory system. Old cells wither and new ones take their place fast, which also means more health benefits. A good diet regimen should also be part of the game plan.

Bond shows no mercy as he crosses Europe and South America to discover why the women he loved betrayed him before she died.

Nayagan My favorite


Nayakan is my all time favorite movie. I like it because of the characters are portrayed in it. The transition of kamal hassan's character is something I got inspired from. I liked the screen play and the way the story unfolded. The film really inspired me to help others. Illaiyaraja's music is another reason I like that movie.
