GYM GUIDE NIGERIA: PROFLEX WORLD CLASS GYM AND FITNESS CENTRE

Happy Independence Day Nigeria!!! Many may say there is not much to be happy about in the country, but, I disagree. Nigeria is a beautiful country, with beautiful people. For my independence day special, I would begin a new section of my blog termed "Gym Guide Nigeria". This section is to help anyone looking for a gym to subscribe to in Nigeria. I would focus mainly on Lagos, Nigeria, but would occasionally look at other States in the country. My first stop is a gym located on Ozumba Mbadiwe, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria, Opposite the 1004 Housing Estate. It is called Proflex World Class Gym and Fitness Centre, popularly known as "Proflex".

May I emphasize on the words "World Class". When I see Nigerian businesses use those words, I am always scared to go because it most times does not match up. This is not the case for this gym. The first time I entered Proflex, I wanted to workout. The gym has quite a number of equipment for those who are keen on them, so no queing up to use the treadmill! If not, the gym offers a variety of studio classes. There is good parking space, which is usually a problem for most Nigerian businesses. The membership rates may or may not make your jaws drop, but remember, good standards comes with a price. The changing rooms are always clean and tidy, the toilets as well. So, if you are a morning person and would like to head to work from the gym, you can have a clean shower at the gym. For swimmers, unfortunately, there is no swimming pool

In general, I would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a great workout experience. Did I mention that there is a restaurant nearby, so if you would like to grab a bite after your workout, you can head to the restaurant "Cactus".

Here are a few "real" pictures of Proflex gym, obtained from its Facebook page. There is nothing more annoying than a business using downloaded pictures to advertise itself, only for you to get there and realize it was all a sham.

HEALING POWER OF CELERY

I bought a green smoothie some months back which had celery as one of its ingredients. While placing my order, I was a bit skeptical about how a celery smoothie would taste, but my oh my did I enjoy it. Now, I am busy making celery smoothies and even cooking celery soup. I know I tend to go overboard with new discoveries. Well, all of this made me wonder what my body was benefiting from my new found love. After all, it is a vegetable, so it should have loads of nutritional and health benefits right?

NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS OF ZOBO/SORREL DRINK

z obo/sorrel was a must have during family gatherings. As children, we loved drinking it, not only because of how nice it tasted, but also because it coloured our lips and tongues red. Zobo (Nigerian) or Sorrel (Jamaican) is a red coloured drink made from a flower called Hibiscus sabdariffa. The sorrel plant contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, calcium, niacin, riboflavin and a group of compounds called flavonoids. Flavanoids not only gives the sorrel plant its deep red colour, but, are also rich in antioxidants which rids the body of toxins. The sorrel plant also contains nutraceleuticals, which are said to be helpful to the health. Nutraceleuticals can help prevent and treat several diseases including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and cancer.

SOME OF YOUR EXERCISE IN PREGNANCY QUESTIONS ANSWERED

I t’s been a long time I wrote, but trust me I have not been idle. I recently had a baby and I am glad I have some pregnancy fitness experiences to share with you. After my marriage union with my lovely husband, I began to get advice from some concerned colleagues and family about slowing down on my exercising and focusing on building a family and making babies. I wondered how exercising interfered with me achieving any of that, to my surprise some people believed that exercising was going to prevent me from conceiving. In fact, a particular ex-colleague of mine really scared me when she told me that I could just keep having miscarriages and not even know it. I did not let any of this bother me as I believed that pregnancy would happen at Gods time. Besides I had only been married for a month and still looking forward to our honeymoon. Pregnancy was certainly not on my mind at this time. To answer your first question can I conceive while exercising?
