Staying Fit & Health Tips! (For Summer)

Hey everyone!

Today I'm going to cut the time of search for you, and share workouts and exercises that I have found to be effective and showed results easily. We've all been through that time period where we've searched for all sorts of workouts, tried out all sorts of new and hip exercises and fancy dance routines

 Well to start off. You need to be motivated, you can't start your workout when you're all "shlumpy" so the right time to kick-off your workout is when you are motivated.

Second, before exercising you SHOULD warm-up, it's easy, some recommended easy 5-minute warm-ups to get you in the "burning fat" zone are: 5min jogging in place, 5min jump rope, 5min treadmill, 5min jumping jacks, or even 5 minutes of just randomly dancing in place- anything to get the heart rate up.

By warming-up you are now getting in that burning fat zone, which is what you want, and what you need if you're moving on to the next part. Now what we all look for when we search for ways to get our figure back, is the ANSWER. I mean if we truthfully and honestly speak here, we probably all just read 5-6 introduction words then skip onto the exercises, to know WHICH ones will just burn that fat forever! Well one important thing is that it's not instant day and night, remember to keep weekly exercise, stay consistent, have a good accompanying healthy diet, and most importantly stay determined- do not forget the reason you started.


Now to kick-off the exercises, this a list of workouts that help a lot & you might want to consider:

• Dumbbell Side bends- I definitely recommend this one, works for waist, side fat, and love handles.
  
• Ab Crunch- Ball (A REALLY GOOD EXERCISE! Burns that tummy fat and helps tone. But be sure to keep doing this exercise! no cheating! And do not rush through it. You have to feel the pulse and burn.)
• Side Planks
• Leg Raise
• Side Leg Raises
• Wall Sit - This works the Thighs really fast, but keep holding on! Don't let go to easily!
• Step Ups
• Walking Lunges - this really tones and firms the thighs
• Calf Raise- (REALLY great workout, try doing 50, then advance to 75 the next day and so on.- you will feel the burn, and the pain the next day, but it feels great knowing that your working your calf!)

After Workout: Be sure to stretch your body, and stretch those muscles. Trust me, you wouldn't want to feel like fried bacon the next day.

NOTE: The trick is NOT to go quick and fast through these exercises, but to go slow and FEEL the burn.

Also accompanied by the fitness: to help the fitness and support, here are some nutrition tips, and some tricks you can choose to follow

• Drinking Water & Apple Cider Vinegar (mixed) before Lunch or Dinner. (recommended serving: 1 cup of water, and mix in 1-2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar)
• Drinking lots of Lemon with water. (NOT Lemonade! Nice try! But real Lemon with water) You can also drink the Lemon with water before Lunch and Dinner. (Squeeze about two lemons in one cup of water for better results.)
• OR you can try drinking warm or hot water every meal, it aids quick digestion and cleanses the body- you can choose to add some lemon, or honey (believe it or not honey helps a bunch, check out the health and beauty benefits of honey)
• Switch your juices, sodas, and other drinks to Pure water. And be sure to drink lots of water each day! It helps clean out your Digestive system and keeps you slim, also proves to keep your skin clean and hydrated!
• Stretching or Yoga REALLY helps out after a good tough workout. So you can stretch your body & muscles. Stretching after a workout is effective since it molds your form into a much slimmer result, rather than keeping your bones and body tensed like fried curled bacon.
• Cardio Exercises before working out, really gets you in the fat burning zone (5 minutes of jogging, or running, or jump-roping, or even dancing are really great Cardio Warm-ups!)
• Make sure to avoid foods like: Pasta, Soups, artificial pop tarts, candy, chips & soda, foods that would contain high amount of Sodium, Carbs, Sugar, Total Fat, or Calories. [NOTE: 3,500 Calories is equivalent to 1 pound of Fat.] Consuming too much of these can cause some serious fat to appear in your tummy(metabolism) , arms, and legs.
