Check up Time

Wow this year has flown by so fast. As we approach the end of June I would like to invite you all to perform a little self check up. Many times we commit to things for our New years Resolutions or even monthly resolutions. (If you are anything like me , then Weekly resolutions occur also) no judgment at all. I just believe that accountability first begins with YOU! So what better way to evaluate your goals and plans then by taking a look back over those list and seeing what you have accomplished and what needs a little bit more of your attention .

 

Below is my new years resolution ( well a few things off of it )

 

 

We all go into the new year with a recharged gumption for life, all things seem possible and what once held us back before will no longer be a hindrance. I admire that about people, the faith that we put behind our goals at the beginning of the a new year, month or even week inspires us to make real change.  Our task now is to keep this Faith alive and to continue to stay the course.

 

No worries Flawless Fitness is here to help with

" 5 ways to get your Resolutions back on Track "

 

1. Re Evaluate: Look back over those list, cross out what you have accomplished already and re organize this list based on importance of each goal

 

2. Measure Your Progress: Avoid making your resolution and forgetting about it , check up on your progress bi weekly/monthly

 

3. Simplify : By all means shoot for the stars, but if your goal is unrealistic then chances are you may not meet that goal in a timely fashion, which in turn could hinder you. make a few short term goals as well as long term. A small success is still a Success!

 

4. Motivate yourself : The Power of One! Be your own cheerleader. Many times we look to others for affirmation which could leave you feeling inadequate. You should be your biggest fan and your #1 accountability partner

 

5. Reward yourself : Congratulations you completed another goal!!! Celebrate yourself, whether its with a mani/pedi or even putting some extra money into your savings account.

Reward your Progress

Stop Bloating Today !

The best way to a flat belly is by burning calories and fat through cardio, especially interval training. Bloating, on the other hand, is its own beast, and you can't feel like you're rocking your bathing suit if you're super bloated. Luckily, there are easy ways to reduce bloating so that you can show off that tummy you've been working so hard to get.

 

 

Put this down: Not only is too much sodium bad for your heart, but it will also cause you to retain water — and not just in your belly — so stop yourself the next time you reach for the salt shaker. Extra sprinkles aren't the only way we consume too much sodium. Limit high-sodium foods such as hot dogs, cottage cheese, bacon, soy sauce, and chips.

 

Sip this: When you're belly is bloated, filling up on water seems like the last thing you want to do, but it helps prevent bloat in two ways. When you're not drinking enough fluids, your body retains water to prevent dehydration. So sipping nature's beverage can actually reduce water retention. Drinking water also prevents constipation, which is another cause of a bloated belly. Also include foods with high water content such as watermelon, celery, grapefruit, and cucumbers.

Limit this: Some foods such as beans, broccoli, pears, onions, and carbonated drinks create more gases in your body than others, so limit these foods. Dairy can also cause some people gassiness, so if this sounds familiar, hold the milk, ice cream, yogurt, and cheese, and look for dairy-free alternatives.

Eat this: Fiber helps everything move through the intestines more quickly, which prevents constipation and bloating. If you're not accustomed to eating enough fiber, then slowly add more and more fiber to your diet — go too fast, and you'll feel even more bloated than before. Include berries, avocado, kiwi, beans, whole grains, and other high-fiber foods in your meals and snacks every day.

Slow down: One small cause of bloating could be that you're swallowing too much air when you're scarfing down your meals; this is why some of us get the hiccups when eating too quickly. Slow down when you eat, and really chew your food.

Get tropical: Eating pineapple can ease bloating too. This tropical fruit is high in the enzyme bromelain, which helps break down protein and eases digestion, helping to banish the bloat. Here's a bloat-fighting smoothie recipe to try that's made with pineapple.

Get moving: Daily physical activity can also prevent constipation, so aim for 30 minutes a day.

Cheers to this: Alcohol is another cause of bloat since it causes dehydration, which as mentioned above, can lead to water retention. For your health and your belly's sake, stick to one alcoholic beverage, and follow it with a huge glass of water.

Consistency Produces Results

Consistency : The ability to set a goal and do what is necessary to accomplish said goal

I am more than sure that I am not the only women in the world who is constantly setting goals , making To - Do list and rethinking my grand life plan over and over. AM I ?

 

As women we have managed to not only create man kind but we have also managed to run the world and quite fashionably I might add. So what is it that causes some of us to never reach our full potential ?

Does Oprah , Beyonce and other very successful women have the secret we are all looking for ?

Yes, these Queens are an inspiration.

Of course I would love to be a media mogul, who could strut a stage in 6 inch heels while flawlessly running the world one high hat at a time.

However for the 80% of women who are apart of the social norm ( Middle Class Women ) we are simply striving to complete our daily task list without forgetting lunch, an ear ring or a PTO meeting. And as much as we love Oprah and Bey I am more inspired by the average women who takes care of home and family.  The team mom who never skips a beat on this crazy journey we call womenhood.

 

Goal Setting  

 

I want to share with you my goals for September , then explain to you what I will be doing to stay consistent  and on course.

 

Consistency

Now goal setting is the easy part , the real work is putting your plan into action.

For example, I am aware that in order for me to be successful in fitness, I have to have someone to be accountable to. ( yes I am a trainer who pays for a trainer ) I find it more suitable for me to check in and stay on track with someone to answer to .

 

Sometimes accountability helps you remember exactly what you are doing all of this for. when I have to answer to my trainer , it reminds me of the big picture , my dream is to be a prominent Fitness advocate for women and mothers. and every time I skip a workout of sneak a sweet snack I am potentially pushing my dream further away.

 

Once you make something important enough , once it becomes like air then nothing should keep you from achieving your goal. Don't allow you become your own set back.

This Time make consistency one of your main goals.

If I can then You can !

Be Fit. Fine and Flawless

 

 

What Waist ? Snatched ? Waisted ? The Low Down on Waist Training .....

WAISTED !!!!  The Hottest , Newest "Fitness" trend to hit the scene, Thanks to some A list celebrities and Famous Instagramers. Waist training has become a sensation  almost overnight. Women looking to have a Kim K. body or Beyoncé waist are now Snatching it in to create  the definition they desire. Vendors are promoting waist trainers as Fitness Equipment, marketing with Filtered  models and catchy hashtags like #whatwaist #Waisted and #snatched.

But can you really lose weight by simply Compressing your body in with a Waist  Trainer or Waist Cincher ? Can waist training alter your bone structure to the perfect "Hour glass" figure women desire ?  Or is this just another Fad to hit the scene, making vendors quick money and leaving customers with little to no results ?

 I asked women to share their experiences and results. To no surprise the generally public were all #TeamWaistTrain . To gain a more educated opinion , I ordered a Waist Trainer from a local vendor  for $45. (I am a size medium or 34 depending on how the vendor orders them.) The first fitting was very snug and hard to latch, but quickly got very comfortable.

My usual training program combines boxing cardio with body weight plyometric and strength training. I noticed my breathing pattern did have to adjust to the constrictions of the corset but was not unbearable. I can say that my core was more engaged  and my posture was corrected for proper technique

throughout the entire workout.
 

The Vendor Suggested that I wear the Waist Trainer for 8 hours a day for maximum results and a week later I was on the second latch. It was more intense but fit just fine , I could definitely feel the sensations of the trainer more on this latch than before. This change had me questioned this technique more. Did I lose an inch in a week ? Did my corset stretch?

The Results after a workout : I noticed that my core appearance was slimmer , however that is because the waist trainer makes you sweat more = Spot Reduction
Ladies don't allow the temporary lost of water weight get your hopes up. once you take a shower or rehydrate the results would almost instantly disappear. I challenge you to put the same effort into proper nutrition and exercise as you do to
Quick Fix fads and Diets.
My personal Opinion : Waist Training is just another fad, Vendors are making money off of sheer laziness. if you want long lasting results put in the work . Eat healthy, Exercise frequently and get your own results.

My professional opinion : Waist trainers can be helpful when attempting to maintain correct form during weight lifting or performing certain exercises. However Waist trainers will NOT assist you in weight loss, It will NOT alter your genetic bone structure.Waist trainers are undergarments , much like a body shaper or Spanx.

* In some instances Waist training will assist you in molding your core as you workout and eat healthier to drop BODYFAT ! The Core is all about Proper NUTRITION ! Do the work !!!!

Here it is:

“[waist reduction] best achieved with proper diet and exercise…”

 So you’re telling me that the 2 most important components to weight loss, healthy eating and regular physical activity, just so happen to work EVEN when I wear my corset? 
OF COURSE YOU WILL

It doesn’t matter WHAT you wear. 
Diet and physical activity will promote overall weight loss(waist included), no matter what.  So how about this—and don’t let me lose you now.  How about we don’t buy a waist trainer, and ONLY try the exercise and proper eating thing for a while, that way you can save your +$50.

 And as for the “before” and “after” pictures you WILL find  some sort of weight-loss transformation from these waist training pages,  and all of them cite exercise and eating right as major factors in weight loss.  So who is to say it was the corset that did the trick?

Wise up ladies !!! Save your money and your time ! There is only one way to get and maintain health inside and out and that is with hard work, exercise and nutrition.

Mediate . Relax. Repeat !

Meditation has come into a modern day transformation by knocking its hippy stereotype and becoming more commonly accepted in todays' world. Mediation has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, help control appetite and metabolism levels ( yes shocking but true ) and overall rate of happiness.

Meditation is not difficult, but like all skills it will take time and practice. It is all about developing the ability to produce a meditative, very relax state in a small amount of time. Meditation can be bought on through several practices such as,

1. Mindfulness : ‘being present’, letting your mind run, and accepting whatever thoughts come up, while practicing detachment from each thought.

2. Zazen: is the generic term for seated meditation in the Buddhist tradition, but in the modern Zen tradition, it is often referred to as ‘just sitting’. It is a minimal kind of meditation, done for long periods of time

3.Guided visualization: is a popular form of meditation that involves concentration upon an image or imaginary environment. It is usually done while listening to a recording.

 

Tips on Meditation

 

1. Find a quiet place
2.Breathe Deeply
3. Check In
(settle into your body by observing your posture, notice sensations where your body touches the floor or chair )
4. Allow your mind to be free (consider the why )
5. Take this relaxed state with you through out your day

Check out this quick tutorial for proper mediation
 

Will Mediation change your life? Yes ! Will it aide in a more stress free life ? YES! Can Meditation help boost your Immune System ? Yes and Bonus Mediation has been proven to heighten brain function in the area that controls Appetite ! 

 

5-20 minutes A day to be healthier , less stressed and more Fit !!!

 

Be Fit. Fine and Flawless 

what is more fun than exercise? SEX!!!

Sex is Survival of the Fittest !

 Greatness at its peak of Glory !!

 Sex is for the Brave and Fit......

 

 

Now don't get me wrong all people have sex and I am sure enjoyable sex. But in my experience , Fitter people have better Sex.  My theory is that although it is a proven fact that during sex you burn Calories and release endorphins that can fight against Depression, SEX in it self can be filled with workout inspired positions that tone and tighten the areas women care about the most.
 I call these the H.A.B.I.T  areas ... Hips, Abs, Butt, Thighs, Stomach.

Bad HABITS... (wink. wink)
(yes the I doesn't have a meaning it just sounds funny to say HABTS)

A study revealed that 88 percent of women who exercised fives times per week rated themselves as above average in the bed. Lets point out some obvious reasons here ;
Cardio = Stamina
Weights = Strength
Sex requires Stamina and Strength
Well "Good SEX" does

Now by working on all the right muscles you will boost your energy levels, build core strength ( Thrusting Power ) and become more Flexible ( Perfect Positioning ) . Sex may never equal to  a zumba class or running a marathon but that fact is that your body has over 600 muscles and during sex your body is contracting them all. yes all 600 +, from the toe curl to the eye twitch your body is working hard while being worked out .

Key Factor : Effort = Calories

You may not be the next Nikko and MiMi . You may never play around with positions or bring in new tricks, but as long as you are putting in some effort in whatever you are doing rest assure you are burning calories.

 I am going help you ladies out  with a few positions that I am sure will keep help you keep it tight, abs and all. 

 

 

 

Saddle up Cowgirl

     With a standard cowgirl position, the lower part of the woman's

 legs are braced on the bed or floor, which will engage her butt and core.

Modifying the cowgirl position can work additional muscle groups.

To get more of an intense workout come up on your feet (in a squat position) and you will be working all butt, legs and hips. taken it even further and lean onto your feet while balancing on your hands and now you are working upper and lower body.

For the fellas ...Standing
Come on ladies share the wealth and let him workout with you.
The standing position will have you both toned in no time.
This I can promise!!!
Standing can be a little difficult and a bit freighting but trusting yourself and partner is key.
when facing each other you will use your core and upper legs, if you stand on one leg those muscles will help you to stay upright the core keeps you balanced.  When both legs are wrapped around his waist, he is essentially doing a full body press( excellent for total body muscle contraction ) but your arms are holding you in place.
Honestly regardless of how he contorts you into this position you will need stamina to remain standing.


London Bridges
"This pose is not for the Weak"

With the bridge, the woman is facing upward, using all four limbs to hold her body weight off the bed. Many sex experts agree that this pose is not for the weak, and try at your own willingness.
And as one so brilliantly put it : "Oh, God, she better be yoga-ing five days a week or training as a gymnast."
You have to stabilize yourself against his thrust , and
Even if you pile a tower of pillows under your back to help support your weight, you'll still definitely be working your Butt
and inner-thigh muscles.
This position will work it all out biceps, triceps, abs, glutes, quads, calves.
And Unless you are  really strong, Do not expect to hold this position for to long.
Sex Expert Berman says, "If you're going from cowgirl to this position, your butt will start burning after five minutes."

Don't be afraid to get creative with your Sexercising ! Its all about trust, comfort and enjoyment. Any man will applaud his lady for working hard on her body in and out of the bedroom.  we all like to look at something Nice ! Try these positions at home; which I'm sure most of readers have already beat us to the punch and see what good it does for those
H.A.B.I.T areas .

Enjoy and your waistline will thank me later !!!

                       

Spinach Salad with Grilled Shrimp

An Asian-flavored vinaigrette with an orange juice kicker is the secret to this simple salad, while ginger and cumin give the shrimp skewers nice spice. Since the shrimp only cooks for three minutes, this recipe gives you a good chance to try a dessert after dinner.

• 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined $

• 2 cups thinly sliced shiitake mushroom caps (about 4 ounces)
• 3/4 cup thinly vertically sliced red onion
•

• 
  
• Prepare grill.

1. To prepare dressing, combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk. Set aside.
2. To prepare shrimp, combine 2 teaspoons olive oil and next 6 ingredients (through shrimp) in a large bowl; toss well. Thread about 5 shrimp onto each of 6 (8-inch) skewers. Place skewers on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 3 minutes or until done.
3. To prepare salad, add spinach, mushrooms, and onion to vinegar mixture; toss gently to coat. Serve with shrimp skewers.

Enjoy !!!

Stay. Fit. And Flawless

SEXy Fitness!!!

 

Okay ladies we all want to Keep it sexy for ourselves and or our significant other RIGHT?

Well I know I am always thinking of ways to catch my husbands eye and make him do a double look :)  It is time to keep it SEXY and SPICY............. With Fitness that is!!!

 One of the things I enjoy doing the most is exercising and A majority of my time is spent either in the gym or training a client. I decided to make my workout time "Quality time" for me and the hubby. Sure it isn't a romantic dinner and a movie. But hey with two kids, my business and his military career (Yes guy I have my very own G.I Joe) alone time is just hard to come by.

I say all of this to show you that keeping it Sexy and fit can be a "Bonding" experience. I train several couples weekly and my goal is to get them to motivate and push each other, but still keeping that sexual tension. Because you know how fine your baby is about to get... lol ok that's just my mushy newlywed humor. But seriously there is no shame in getting that workout in together . Remember the harder they work in the gym the more you get admire .

 

(Buddy Clients )

(Thanks for posing for me )

This is a no-brainer. Making love is physical, and getting in shape can improve performance in the bedroom.

“All that exercise is good for your libido,” Nichols says. “Studies show that men and women who exercise report better and more frequent sex with their partners.”

Especially if you’re working out with your honey. Interacting physically at the gym increases intimacy. Breathing, sweating, touching – this sort of physical contact can’t help but translate into bedroom benefits. 

 

Check out these couple exercises that are Flirty and get you FIT!!

 

 Decline Sit Ups

“The decline gives you extra range of motion you can't get by doing this on the floor. Squeeze with your thighs to keep the upward motion steady and strong. If you want, add a twist at the halfway point to target your oblique.”

Step 1: With your partner lying flat
on the ground, grasp hands and lean
over him in a plank position.
Your feet should be placed just outside his ankles
and your arms should be strong with
 elbows locked, as shown.

Step 2: From this inclined plank position,
 lower yourself down to a starting push up position.
Keep your arms tight to your sides.

Step 3: From here, push up and return to
 the starting position. Repeat 10 times

 

 

 

 

Mirror Push up“Keep your abs tight and take advantage of the extra range of movement you can't get on the floor. If it's too difficult, have your partner straighten his arms to give you more incline, making it easier. Give your partner a kiss every time you go low, for extra motivation.”

Step 1: With your partner lying flat on the ground,

grasp hands and lean over him in a plank position.

Your feet should be placed just outside his ankles

and your arms should be strong with elbows locked, as shown.

Step 2: From this inclined plank position,

lower yourself down to a starting push up position.

Keep your arms tight to your sides.

Step 3: From here, push up and return to the starting position.

Repeat 10 times.

 Leg Adduction with Manual Resistance “Keep your back flat to the ground and only work to the limit of your flexibility. Give your partner feedback as to the amount of resistance you want.”

Step 1: Lying flat on your back with arms out to the sides to steady yourself, lift your legs straight up to the ceiling, as shown. Your partner should grasp your inner lower leg, just above the ankles.

Step 2: Without help from your partner, allow your legs to split apart, as shown.

Step 3: With your partner supplying the resistance, squeeze your legs back together and return to starting position. Repeat 10 times.

Busy ? Who Cares !

Busy Who cares ?

I am to busy ?

Maybe next weekend?

I will start on the First?

It Slipped my Mine?

I have to Work?

I have kids or school ?

 

Common Excuses I hear every day as a healthy Lifestyle Coach and personal trainer. Seriously, if I had a dollar for every excuse I would give up this fitness thing and retire in bora bora. So lets be honest , There will always be an excuse to use. We as Women and Adults will always have responsibility, whether it is jobs, kids , school, or all three.

The answer to every excuse is MAKE TIME !!!!!!!!

To help with this concept I have created a list of 3 great HIIT workouts that blast calories and Fat in 30 minutes or less!

HIIT

High Intensity Interval Training that involves alternating between periods of intense exercise and brief recovery. The idea behind HIIT training is that you don’t allow your body to adjust to exercising at just one level of intensity, which essentially enables you to turn into a fat-burning BEAST !

HIIT Example

Circuit training protocol – mix push-ups, squats, bench press, deadlifts, pull-ups, or any other combos of exercises, doing 30 sec to 1 minute of exercise for every 15-30 seconds of rest. Repeat the circuit of exercises for 20 minutes.

For more info on HIIT check out Dr Phoneix Austins' write up about this power workout.

 HIIT by Dr. Austin

 

Tabata

Coined “The World’s Greatest Fat Burning Workout”

Tabata training was discovered by Japanese scientist Dr. Izumi Tabata and a team of researchers from the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo. Staying True to the HITT Diagram, Tabata takes you through 8 rounds of interval training with small breaks.  

 The Tabata workout lasts only four minutes, but is one of the longest four minutes you'll encounter. The structure of the program is:

Workout hard for 20 seconds

 

Rest for 10 seconds

 

Complete eight rounds

You push yourself as hard as you can for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds until you complete eight sets. You can choose any exercise to do with this program.

An example of a 20-minute Tabata workout looks like this:

Pushups

Squats

Rows

Sit ups

CARDIO intervals

Whether you are running outside on gym equipment in your home or at a gym facility cardio has and will forever be the staple of weight loss. Cardio intervals for HIIT training following the diagram by increasing and decrease speed, resistance or both with little to no breaks

                 Nichola Smiles is your everyday women, she cares for her son and works to provide him with all the best opportunities she can. However life was not always Fit and Fine, Nichola started off as a teenage mom unsure of how life would unfold for her and her child. But with the help of her mother she was able to go to college and graduate as a civil engineer. Sure this sounds like a winning story but, it is just the beginning. Nichola thrust herself into work and motherhood, as a result her health took a backseat to her now busy career life. She had managed to gain 50lbs and had not realized it until she was faced with a picture from a friends wedding.

 It is amazing how we view ourselves for different angles.

 

Horrified by her appearance she decided to make a change and start on her Day zero. She began going to group fitness classes ,changed her diet and began working with a personal trainer! With all her hard work Nicola was able to drop those 50lbs.

 

 

   In light of her  new found passion and success Nicola decided to make health and fitness the core of her life, she became a group fitness instructor ,personal trainer and continues to make and conquer new challenges such as Bikini Figure Contest and Health coaching.

All with the love and Support of her Son by her side.

 

                Nicola Smiles is a great example of the resilience and strength we all have as Women !!! All you have to do is dig down and fine what you were already born with.

Be fierce and confident enough to not give up. Many times as moms we take care of our needs last Understandable considering our children are our most prized processions but it comes a time when we simply have to take care of Mom First !
