4 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Your Next Purchase
4 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Your Next Purchase
Before your next purchase, be sure to (at the very least) ask yourself four (4) questions. Do not make a purchase unless you can get honest answers to these questions…
There is nothing quite like the buzz of buying something. It makes us impulsive, irrational at times, and it can become addictive. But once we have bought the item, we often find it isn’t something we needed as much as we thought…

“A fit, healthy body—that is the best fashion statement” ― Jess C. Scott
In addition to dressing well and doing well, you have to also live well. And that’s our motto here at MR KOACHMAN – To inspire you to dress well, do well and live well.
Fitness is very important!
I’m sure we are all aware of the importance of being fit. However, finding time to improve our fitness always poses an enormous challenge most of the time.
We understand that sometimes the responsibilities at work and home would fill your day, sparing no time for yourself, let alone going to the gym for a full workout session.
But if I’m being honest, that’s not a valid excuse. The truth is – even with busy work and personal lives it’s still very important to maintain a healthy balance. And, exercise is a fundamental requirement for staying fit. In fact, not engaging in exercises and workout sessions frequently, [at least once every week] can have an adverse impact on your health in the long run.
So the question of the day is – Can a shorter exercise schedule have health benefits?
Yep!!! Just 20 minutes of exercise per day can help you to stay fit and have a healthy body. It will also help you to lose your body fat more effectively and efficiently if your goal is to shed off some weight.
Let us get started with the ways you can improve your fitness and health capacity in 20minutes or less!
5 Ways You Can Improve Your Fitness in Less Than 20 Minutes
#1: Bike-Riding (Indoor Cycling)
You’ve probably heard it called “spinning” but the general term is bike-riding or simply “indoor cycling”. The bike ride is an example of a low impact cardio exercise that would warm your muscular activity along with the rise in the heart rate.
Riding a bike for 20 minutes at 10 MPH will help you lose up to 90 calories. Keeping the same time and increasing the duration up to 3 days will make your burn 270 calories.
#2: Body Building Activities in Less than 20 minutes
Body Building is mainly done so that you can increase your strength and stamina. If you are performing these activities, then you can target a whole package of body parts. These include legs, hands, chest, backs, arms, and shoulders as well.
These activities don’t require any particular space or extra time and are certainly easy ways to improve your fitness. While you are at it, don’t forget to drink enough water as it helps prevent dehydration.

#3: The 20-minute exercises for Abs
The 20-minute exercises for Abs also assist in the overall development of the fitness and health along with wellness. If you go for such exercises, then you will enhance and improve your overall fitness level.
The 20-minute abs exercises do target the different portion of the abdominal tissues and muscles. These tissues include the obliques along with lower and transverse abs. Here is a quick guide from LeanItUp.com. Try to keep rest between 30-60 seconds between sets. It’s an extremely difficult ab workout, do your best to get through as much of it as possible.
#4: Pilates Exercise for 15 Minutes
Pilates is a way for improving your flexibility and core strength. You can only pull out your Gym Mat and get ready for the movements that will strengthen and stabilize your ligaments to the core.
According to Brooke Siler, certified Pilates instructor and author of The Pilates Body -“When you sit for extended periods of time, your hips and torso get locked into one position, which causes tension”.
You need to take your time while you are getting prepared for the Pilates. The 20-minute timeframe required for the poses that you will perform for Pilates is more than enough to train and maintain your health to the core.
#5: The 10 Minute HIIT Workout
A regular exercise to 10-minute “High-Intensity Interval Training” (HIIT) would allow you to sweat more and little time to rest. After one iteration is completed, you will get some sleep, and then again the process starts. It will make you sweat you and lose your body fat like never before.
The HIIT workout process consists of boxing and some cardio activities as well. Once you get mastered in this 10-minute session, after some time, you can stretch this up to 20-minutes and more. But make sure that you don’t extend too much extent. In that case, you can suffer from strained ligament.

FINAL THOUGHTS
These are just a few exercises that don’t require extra time and special space to perform. An extra 20 minute for these exercises can add something extra to both your strength and stability and in turn, will improve your fitness. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but it WILL pay off soon, and it WILL be worth it. Try these and experience the difference yourself.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Until next time gentleman, Stay Fit and Stay Classy!

Smart packing is essential if you want a hassle-free trip. So in this article, we will show you some business trip packing tips that will make your trip a less stressful experience.
Welcome to another edition of Lady Koachman Fashion & Style Guide series.
As some of you already know, every once in a while we publish some fashion and style guide articles for ladies to inspire our female readers on how to do well, live well and (well…at least) look their best.
This article is for every lady who loves to travel but finds it a stressful experience due to the hassle of packing for trips.
Let’s face it … Travelling for work can be a stressful experience, trips to the airport, meetings, schedules etc. can take their toll. But perhaps the hardest part of the whole trip is the wardrobe choices.
Odds are on your trip you need to meet with people, attend events, dinners and other meets and greet, therefore you constantly need to look the part.
However, you don’t want to be carrying a lot of luggage with you, so you need to find the balance and bring a small number of key pieces that will get you through any eventuality.
Here are a few tips to make your packing (at least!) stress-free!
How To Pack Light And Smarten Up Your Business Trip
First, figure out exactly what you need to take…
If you have a casual dinner event or dinner party, consider bringing an outfit that can go from day to night with just a few adjustments.
In this way, you are packing fewer clothes. Instead of bringing multiple pieces or outfit sets that will work for both your day look and your evening (dinner) look during your duration of your trip, you are using one item and wearing it two different ways.
PS: For guys, a good option is taking several ties of different patterns and colors to match your shirt (in plain colors). And the look becomes a stylish one … one day at a time!
Let’s say you are done with meetings or work during the day. When going out for drinks that evening, remove your coat, add a pop of color to the day outfit with matching shoes and a belt or a dressy silk scarf.
Et voilà ! one look, two ways! Saves a bit of space in your bag!
For relaxation, gym or sports:
Don’t forget about downtime when you are away also. Working out is the best stress reliever after all.
If you are a gym bunny, then a good idea is to pack some work out gear. They are usually light and can be easily tucked into your traveling bag.
And if you intend having a swim in a pool for relaxation perhaps at your hotel, pack your swimsuit as well. Easy to fit in as they take up very little space and may be a welcome addition to your trip if the work part gets a bit too much.
For the trip itself (to and fro)…I would recommend wearing a jumpsuit.
Jumpsuit in Western fabric
Jumpsuit in African Print
Jumpsuits are the ultimate in effortless style. Quick to put on and the chicest two-in-one piece to wear when traveling, no matter your style or shape. They come in different styles, and in terms of fabric choice and design, some are styled with western fabrics and they can also be designed with stylish African prints.
They are a great one-piece item to pack in, as they take up very little space and look totally stylish and amazing. Great for the trip there and back because you look both smart and professional but also you can move around easily and feel relaxed.
For long trips, wear with a pair of flats or nice sandals to give your feet and easy time too! You never want to wear your leather shoes or high heels from morning till night, right? Except, of course, it’s a very short trip.
Nearly there, the final point is …Don’t forget the handbag.
If you pick the right one, then one is all you will need, the trick is…go for a neutral color which will match whatever you wear. Asides black, light tan is a versatile handbag color that will go with almost anything.
I know, right? Amazing, and screams…I am a strong, confident woman with style AND substance.
Happy Travels!
Oh,…nearly forgot, top tip!
When packing, roll up your clothes: this double-edged sword means you will fit more in your bag and remove the risk of creased clothes….you’re welcome!!
