If you want to look good and maintain your physique, you have to work out. Even if you’re one of the rare lucky ones who was blessed with good genes and a naturally fit body, sooner or later the time will come. Aging, gravity, changing bodies, and more add up and take a toll.

For most people, around the time they reach their early 30s is when they start to notice their bodies starting to slow down. Metabolism rates drop off, fewer calories are burned, leading to a build up of fat. Lean muscle mass also decreases, both naturally and from a lack of exercise or activity, as we tend to do less and tire more.

How and where your body stores fat also changes. Many people find that their once sculpted arms are gradually becoming fatter and flabbier. Bigger arms can make some people feel very self conscious about their appearance. Our upper arms are among the most highly visible areas on our bodies and anytime you wear a short sleeved or sleeveless top you’re exposing them.

Arm fat is one of the most stubborn types of body fat to target and getting rid of it can be tricky. This video shows you how to effectively work them out and tone them back into shape while cutting down on the flab. The exercises in it are specially designed to help you lose arm fat and if you follow them regularly you’re guaranteed to see results.

If you spend less than 13 minutes a day on your health, and make it a goal and a habit, you’ll thank yourself four months from now when the weather starts warming up again. In addition to the arm exercises, a few other things can help you look your best.

It always helps to eat a healthy, balanced diet and to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Small changes can also lead to big differences in the long run. Try to work more movement and activity into your day.

Park further away from store entrances than you usually do, take the stairs instead of the elevator, even getting up and doing jumping jacks during commercial breaks when you’re watching TV helps a lot.

Husband and Wife Purchased THIS Beautiful But Abandoned Estate Then They Discovered The Hidden Secret In The Backyard!

image via – youtube.com

In the 1970’s Jane and Steven Frye met and fell in love while studying pottery in art school.  Soon after they graduated, they got married and then moved to Elk Falls, Kansas where they bought a house in the small, quaint town.  It was there that the couple set up shop and began their own business, Elk Falls Pottery, where they made all sorts of ceramic goods. Business was good and they became well known throughout the Midwest for their well-made, hand crafted, high quality pottery.

In 2004 the couple were in the market for a larger property and wished to expand both their house and their business.  When they came across Maude Frakes estate, they jumped at the chance to buy it. Comprised of a house, barn and a couple of outbuildings on 600 acres of land, the estate was big and exactly what they were looking for.  There was only one problem; it had been sitting vacant for decades and was in a state of complete disrepair.

Originally built in 1896, Marian and Maud Franks had bought the house in 1904 and lived there happily for years until Marian died in 1930, at which time Maude turned into a local philanthropist of sorts.  She would hire farmers and others down on their luck during the Great depression, employing them to make ornate stone and concrete sculptures which she placed throughout the gardens on the property. By the time she was done there was folk art and ceramic sculptures scattered all over the estate.

Most of the sculptures are of elephants, Maude absolutely loved them and incorporated them into just about everything.  There were an estimated 1500-1800 elephant statutes, from ones climbing on stone trellises to others carved into trees and stones, there was even one that sprayed water into the swimming pool with its trunk.  In 1954 Maude passed away, the house was boarded up and sat vacant for years. Nature started to reclaim the gardens and statutes while the house slowly fell apart.  

Once the Frye’s came onto the property the first thing that they did was dismantle all the destroyed buildings and use the wood to help rebuild the house and barn.  It was during this construction that they found something in the yard that they took to the Grassroots Art Center in Lucas, Kansas to have checked out.

The Art Center’s experts believe that the rounded statute is among one of the first pieces of folk art ever made by a woman in the state of Kansas.  They also uncovered rare stones and fossils, benches, tables, a tipi, and gazebo, all made out of stone.

The artwork is what first drew the Frye’s to the estate and after finding so many special and unique features throughout it, they decided to expand their business even further.  They turned it into Elk Falls Pottery and Bed and Breakfast, so now anyone who wishes can stay there and check out all the interesting artwork.

He Holds His Wife’s Hand While Taking His Last Breath But The Daughter Spots Something Odd Leaving Her STUNNED!

You’ve probably heard the statistic saying that 50% of marriages end in divorce. While this remains true, it focuses far too much on the negative. Most don’t think about the fact that 50% of marriages last. This is the story of one such marriage.

Floyd and Violet Hartwig first met in grammar school. For their childhoods and teenage years, they were good friends but never anything more. After school, Floyd joined the Navy. The two friends fell out of touch. It was only upon his return that things began to change.

When Floyd got back, the two reconnected. Initially, their friendship reverted to normal but soon, they realized that they wanted more. They began dating and when Floyd returned to the Navy, they wrote letters back and forth. Floyd waited as long as he could, but couldn’t bear the idea of not being with Violet anymore.

Floyd left the Navy for good this time. The two immediately wed. The happily married couple moved to eastern California where they bought a ranch. They set about raising a beautiful family. In total, they had three children and they were proud of each one.

Together, the two were entirely content. After many idyllic years together, they realized that their time together would soon come to an end. Floyd was suffering from kidney failure and Violet had debilitating dementia. Their kids helped transfer them to the hospital and even pushed their beds together so they could hold hands.

Surrounded by their 3 kids, 4 grandkids, and 5 great-grandkids, Floyd soon passed. Only 5 hours later, Violet passed as well. While sad, this passing was ultimately a final gift for the couple as they were able to go out together just as they had spent their entire life beforehand.

Apparently THIS Is The Simple Life Hack To Fix Any Broken Zipper That Won’t Close!

image via – youtube.com

A broken zipper can wreak havoc and make life difficult in different ways. It can cause your favorite pair of jeans to become unwearable, render clothes useless, and leave you in a last minute bind when traveling. That’s the worst case scenario, when your jam packed suitcase won’t shut and your at the airport trying to check luggage.

Nightmares like this happen all the time and if hasn’t happened to you yet, it likely will one day. Instead of tossing articles of clothing or bags out, try fixing the zipper yourself. The repair method covered in this video will help if the problem your having is that the zipper won’t close when zipping from the bottom up.

The experts at UCAN Zippers USA guide us through the basic steps necessary to close a stubborn zipper, so follow along closely because this may come in handy one day! When a zipper stops zipping, it’s usually caused by the slider part wearing out because of all the repetitive pulling back and forth on it.

You will need to clamp down on the mouth of the slider, on both the front and back sides of it, so that it grips and grabs the teeth as you slide it along. If done right, this will bring the sides of the zipper together smoothly and thus close it as you go.

All that you need to do is take a pair of pliers and clamp them down on one side of the mouth of the slider. Go easy, don’t apply too much pressure, and test it out as you go to see how it slides. If it’s still not working, clamp down with the pliers on the other side of the slider and try it again.

Be patient and keep pressing the pliers onto the sides of the slider mouth until your finally able to close the zipper. That’s it!

To see exactly how it’s done and for heaps more insightful information on all things zippers, check out the video and you’ll never get your zipper stuck again!

8-Year-Old Kid Went Missing and Disappeared For 7 Months. But Then a Hiker Accidentally Stumbles Upon an UNTHINKABLE Clue!

image via – youtube.com

Today’s story begins in a small town in Arizona. Vicki was 8 years old at the time. On a fateful September day, she arrived home from school. She asked her mother if she could bike to a nearby mailbox to send a letter to her aunt.

Now, while this might seem like a small request for many, for Vicki’s mother this was a very big deal indeed. She was a strict mother and always made sure that her children never traveled alone. For some reason, on this particular day, she was feeling a little more relaxed. She decided it couldn’t hurt and gave Vicki permission. Vicki never came home.

After a little while, her mom noticed that Vicki had not returned. She sent her daughter Stephanie to investigate. Stephanie soon returned with the news that she had only found Vicki’s bike abandoned a couple blocks away. They immediately called the police. 

As the news spread, eyewitnesses began to come forward. Multiple people had spotted a dark van around Vicki’s school that day. Others claimed they saw the same car much later with a child inside. A teacher had written down the license plate and reported it to the police.

After running the license plate, the police identified a possible suspect: Frank Jarvis Atwood. He had a history of kidnapping and child molestation charges. At the time of the current investigation, Atwood was living in California on parole. They quickly located the man and brought him in for interrogation. After examining his car, police discovered traces of paint from Vicki’s bike on the front of Atwood’s car.

While he was arrested for suspicion of kidnapping, no one ever knew what really happened to her. A hiker eventually found a skull in the desert that turned out to be hers. The rest of her body was missing either from animal disturbance or a more chilling fate.

I’ve Never Heard a Baby Sloth Before. When This One Started Making Noise I Spit My Drink Out!

image via – youtube.com

There are a ton of adorable videos online that feature wide eyed sloths. The slow moving creatures are loved by lots of people the world over, and it’s easy to see why. They are always well behaved and very gentle, docile, and non-aggressive in their mannerisms and movements.

Sloths also make the cutest noises and if you haven’t hear what they sound like yet then you have to check out this video from YouTube channel Slothville TV. The video shows several sloths, including baby ones and grown up adults. They all make the cutest noises that seem to be quite appropriate and in line with their slowness.

It sounds almost like they are crying out in exasperation at how hard and annoying moving a few inches seems to feel like for them. The tiny newborn ones make a more squeaky, high pitched noise and it sounds like a cry that a baby animal would make.

As a point of comparison, the noises they produce are almost exactly like the sounds people make when they are not into something, or grunt halfheartedly, kind of like a “meeahh.” However, when it’s coming from a little crawling sloth’s mouth it’s 100x more cute and precious, by far. Sloths got their unflattering name due to the fact that they move so slowly.

However, they are built for this and are not the lazy, sluggish, lethargic mammals that we often view them as. Sloths only move when necessary because they need to conserve as much energy as possible due to their diet consisting of mainly leaves. Leaves provide little energy and are hard to digest.

Which is why sloths have specialized stomachs that slowly break down leaves and it often takes them a month or more to digest the contents of their stomachs completely. Other ways they conserve energy include low metabolic rates and low body temperatures, and of course, slow paced movements.
