Today another lady asked me about what exercises will help get rid of cellulite!
I could sell personal training with this subject…
But I like be be honest!!!
Usually when I tell them it is a dietary issue, they will not talk to me again π
Let’s see …what is Cellulite?
It’s enlarged fat cells and trapped toxins!
Toxins from the air we are breathing, preservatives, pesticides, alcohol, and caffeine!
The heavier you are the more toxins you store.
But even skinny girls have cellulite!
But why?
Well, it is a way of your body to protect you!
Keeping toxins away from your circulation and reaching your organs and important cells!!!
What to do about it?
Keep your food clean!!!
Organic if you can, but even fresh vegetables and fruit, clean meats and eggs will change the appearance of your tissue!!!
Stay away from dairy and wheat products of any kind!
Watch caffeine and alcohol intake….
Increase your water to flush out toxins!!!
Stay away from soda, processed and canned foods, pork ( high toxicity ) and smoked or fried foods!
Eat more fish and white meat!
It takes about 12 weeks to see a significant difference in your fatty tissue!
You better start now if you want to feel comfortable in that sexy two piece swim suit on the beach π

Hope this blog will answer your questions π
There are many reason why we want you to wear a heart rate monitor!
Being in the perfect heart rate is very important:
1. It will keep track of your heart rate, no matter which heart rate you follow ( fat burning
Zone 1 or cardio Zone 2 and Zone 3)…how do you know when your sprint goes into
the 90% heart rate? When do you know you have achieved recovery zone?)
2. Keeps track of your caloric burn during workouts, or during a full day ( I like to wear
mine all day long which makes me realize my burned calories and keeps me from
eating more than I am allowed to)
3. Makes you want to work harder while working out!
But there are so many more reason to why to use a heart rate monitor!
Buy the one with the chest strap because of better accuracy π
Your workout program should always be catered to your Nutrition intake!
Endurance Athletes need more calories, more carbohydrates, and more protein than bodybuilders do!
They are constantly breaking down protein in the muscle that needs to be replaced!
Most Bodybuilders are fat burners and their muscle works well on fat and protein!
But yes, they still need carbohydrates …..
Depending on where you are keeping your heart rate you will have to adjust your nutrition to it!
It all seams complicated, but once you get the hang of it and see what works best for your body!
Baby Steps here we go π
I have tried to ease up on my workouts a little, so my body will be able to respond better once I start kicking it up a notch π
I increased my water intake as well as my carbohydrate intake!
Giving my joints some extra lubrication ( every unit of carbohydrates holds 1.5 units of water)….
Needless to say I feel a bit fluffy at this point!
My plan for this coming week is to keep my water intake high, be consistent with my supplements, exactly measure and pre pack my meals, training heavy with low reps, and incorporatingΒ a core ( not ab) routine!
Plus I will be out of town Thursday thru Sunday….
I will have a exact plan on how I will be following my diet and workout routine!
My hotel will have a gym availible, which makes it easy!
I will take gallons of water with me so I won’t have toΒ look for the next convinient store!
I am sure I will get some good hiking in .Β
On my weight lifting days I will keep my cardio to about 45 minutes fat burning zone, while on my cardio only days I will have 2 cardio routines.
One in the higher heart rate zone with sprint intervalls, but lesser time ( 35 minutes) and one in the lower heart rate zone but going for a longer time ( 55 minutes)
Depending on how long my hikes will be on the weekend, I might have to cut the second cardio training out!
My leg workouts will consist of tons of squatting and tons of full leg movements for now!
I will weigh once per week in the beginning, but I am a freak and later I will weigh every day π
It is one of my tools for myself to stick to my program!
I am putting up competition pictures on my fridge to make my mind realize that I will be there again.
There is always some kind of emergency food in my purse, and I get laughed at all the time!
Usually it is a protein shake or a eggwhite pancake, or even a chicken breast in a zip lock bag…….
Remember always be prepared !!!!
Never run out of food!
I am eating every 2-3 hours…..it’s a must!
Obviously there must be some well balanced individuals out there, however I have to say that I am not one of them!!!
People ask me all the time how I can be so uplifting in always in a good mood!
The answer is simple: I chose to be!
I can be all up there at a 10 when it comes to positivity, or I can be a 1 or even a 0!!!
I made the choice a long time ago where I want to be, because I was there at that 1 or 0!!!
Unhappy, having anxiety, not wanting to be here anymore!
It is a choice!!!
For me that means staying away from negativity or yielding myself of from it;)
I have learned to build a wall around me to listen but not to take in!
I do not watch TV ( that might be absurd to some), because I do not allow myself to be bombarded with negative media input.
Change your thoughts and change you life and happiness!!!
It is that simple!
We are more powerful that you can imagine.
Find something positive in every negative thought or sentence!
Appreciate your life, your family, your accomplishments!
There is always something uplifting π
No material object or person can make you happy!!!
Happiness comes from within you!
You are the creator of your life π
The most rewarding feeling is when you change another persons life to the better!
That is what we are meant to do.
Our purpose in life is to be there for each other.
Being selfish and self upsorbed will never make one happy!!!
A piece of God is within us π
Let it guide and amaze you!
It will show you that there is more to us than your eye is able to see!
Love for everyone!
Love for everything!
Love for this great life!
