The Secret is out - The best way to Lose weight and condition Fast! PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 10 September 2008
The secret is out! The best way to lose weight fast, condition your body, get strong, toned and flexible all at once - it is Kettlebell training!

You might think this is just another fad, or another craze - but NO! I can tell you that this amazingly effective method of training is here to stay!

Here's why...

Kettlebells are a secret weapon of elite athletes and fighters. They have used kettlebell training to chisel some of the strongest, fastest, and most ripped physiques in the world. Even a short workout will burn fat and develop powerful core strength like you simply will not believe.

The reason why you can get in peak condition so quickly is because kettlebell training takes cardiovascular training to a new level! At the same time it develops incredible functional strength.

Ladies, if you want to get rid those saddlebags, tone your thighs and lift your butts - kettlebell training is for you! When it comes to making changes like these, nothing else can do it as fast as kettlebell training does. Believe me - I've tried them all!

Guys - don't be thinking that this is a girlie workout! Remember all the chiseled hot bodies of the Spartan warriors in the movie "300"? Kettlebell training was an integral part of their conditioning.

In addition to that there's a reason UFC, MMA, and Pride fighters look like they are in unstoppable condition. They need ultimate strength in extreme power as well as flexibility. That's why some of the best fighters and athletes train with kettlebells.

Enough said?

Now I have created and made available for you the Hot Burning Body Kettlebell workshop for beginners!

In my Kettlebell Workshop for Beginners, I have selected all the fundamental kettlebell exercises and have broken them down into easy to follow steps, together with clear explanations to guide you. I go about teaching you the proper mechanics and form for each exercise. Many other similar courses on the market completely ignore these aspects, whilst expecting you to watch their models demonstrate the exercises and figure things out for yourself.

Here are some of the advantages of kettlebells:

1) Convenient – you only need one to get a great workout.

2) Portable – easy to pop in the trunk of your car and take wherever you go.

3) Relatively inexpensive – much cheaper than most workout equipment or aids.

4) This training vastly improves your cardiovascular endurance

5) You will burn maximum calories in the shortest amount of time because this training raises your body metabolism fast.

6) Get a full body workout in half the time – no more isolating small muscle groups and wasting precious time.

7) Training this way gives you Real Total Functional Strength.

8) It mobilizes all the joints of your body - especially the knees, hips and shoulders.

9) These exercises increase flexibility, because of the full range of motion utilized in a kettlebell workout.

10) It is the most effective way to condition your body and how to lose excess fat Fast!

Why Exercise? PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 03 September 2008
Today I want to tell you more about why I think being physically active should be such and important part of your lifestyle.



Everybody is always putting so much emphasis on how important it is to lose weight... to look lean and ripped... and yes,it does feel good to look good, but there is so much more to it than meets the eye.

Let me share with you the main reason I religiously work out...

Don't get me wrong... I do enjoy it when I am in great shape and I get compliments and comments from friends, family and even sometimes strangers :) but the main reason I keep up my workouts regularly and on a consistent basis is because I "feel" so much better when I work out.

When I go on vacation and I "make excuses" like: "Oh, I am on vacation and everyone needs a break." I can tell you that after only 2 or 3 days of not working out I feel like crap!

I feel lack luster, and tired, and I literally feel ill... of course when I take a break from my exercise routine, I also tend to eat more junk, so that probably has something to do with it as well - hahaha!

You might find that strange. But I think anybody who knows how good it feels to be fit and healthy can identify with that. This is the one reason I find why exercise - once you get into it, can be so addictive, because you get hooked on that feeling of feeling great!

I know... it is all about getting started and about getting to that point where you feel Fantastic!  But if you just take a moment and think back at a time when you committed to some kind of physical activity... did you not immediately afterwards feel more energetic and happy?

Would you not like to feel like that most of the time?

Exercising regularly does not only help you look physically better and fitter, but to me - the most important part of regular exercise is the fact that it makes me look more radiant and feel more energetic and healthy!

Now there is a REAL reason to get back into the swing of things!  The Hot Burning Body workout is so much fun because I have made the exercises interesting and used really awesome music that will keep you wanting to move your body! You will actually enjoy your workout!

Workout Partner - Blessing or Curse? PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 20 August 2008
Personally, I prefer to work out on my own. Most probably because I have not had much luck when it comes to training partners, and usually I don't have a lot of time, so I cram in as much as I can in a short amount of time.  A training partner seemed like more of a distraction to me than anything else.

But yesterday I had a great experience - Yesterday on my way to the gym I ran into one of the dancers here on the ship and she was on her way to the gym as well.

My workout partner is usually my iPod, but she volunteered to work out with me. I only had an hour available but I agreed.  I figured I would give it a go!

We had the best time!  She kicked my 'bee-hind'! We had a great time challenging each other with different exercises and the hour went by so quickly, but Boy, did I ever get a great workout in...

Now you see, the thing is, there are two types of training partners.  The first kind is the great kind. That would be someone who inspires you to do better than your best, a person who likes to work hard and who knows how to influence you and encourage you in a very positive way.



Then there is the kind who I unfortunately had to deal with in the past.  They seem real eager in the beginning, but then when it comes down to it, you have to practically beg them and drag them by the hair to get them to the gym.

Then once you get them there they try to talk you into going for coffee instead of working out... Now this is not the kind of training partner you want to be hanging out with, nor is it the kind of training partner you should be.

A lot of people like to work out with a friend or a partner and I say, Go for it... but make sure you choose a partner who will help you, encourage you and inspire you, and not someone who is going to drag you down and make you lazy.

At the same time - you need to assess what kind of workout partner you are, and if it is the latter then you better pull up your socks and make some big changes... because you don't want to be that loser partner that drags your partner down.

It can be really fun when both of you work together, and when you start seeing the results - and you WILL see them, that is the biggest pay-off!

So if you like to train with a partner, make sure you choose him or her right and make sure you support your partner fully and wholeheartedly.  If you do that, having a training partner can be a blessing.

In the Hot Burning Body Workout DVD's I am right there with you as a training partner to inspire you and encourage you to do your very best, so you can get the greatest results!

Not for a lack of trying, but a lack of knowing PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 13 August 2008
I had a conversation with one of the dancers on the ship yesterday that reminded me that now here in my mid thirties my physique is way better than it was in my twenties. Yet, as a twenty-something performer I was dancing way more than I am now and on top of that I use to spend just about the same amount of time in the gym as I do now...

So how come I can spend less time working out now and look better than I did 10 years ago?

Back then I was certainly working hard - or so I thought.

I was working hard and long but not clever... it was not for a lack of trying, but rather a lack of knowing...

See, it is not so much about the amount of time you spend working out but rather the intensity with which you work. Not only that, but we often underestimate ourselves and how far we can push our bodies so we do the same amount of repetitions week after week and we hardly ever increase the difficulty of what we are doing.

You won't know how much you are capable of doing until you have tried to push yourself to your limits.  The other thing is... as a woman and a dancer I was terribly scared of "building muscles"... but girls, it is a total misconception that if you work with heavy weights you are going to end up looking like a body builder.

The real truth is that by increasing the weight you work with or the repetitions that you do even just a little, it will tone your muscles just that much more. And don't forget that the more muscle you have, the more fat you will burn, and the more fat you burn the leaner you look.

Lean and toned... does that not sound great? Is that not what we all want? I know that is what I want. Lean and toned is so much better than skinny and flabby - right?

But now... you do not necessarily need weights to tone and shape your muscles... I am absolutely not against weight training as I do some of it myself, but I combine that with some very powerful body weight exercises that give me the cardiovascular benefits as well as the toning and firming of my muscles.

That is exactly what I show you in the Hot Burning Body workout... how you can get a toned, lean and seksy body in the shortest amount of time. And these exercises are put together in a very unique way and with great music. I give you everything you need to keep your workout interesting and challenging.

Don't think you need to work out two hours a day to get that movie star physique you have always wanted...

If you work with more intensity for a shorter amount of time - you will definitely reap the benefits.  In the Hot Burning Body workout I guide you through an invigorating series of exercises - once you know those, you will know what I know now and did not know then...

Higher intensity, less time - voila... the body you have always wanted no matter what your age...

The Power of Breath PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 09 August 2008
Earlier today I was talking to my Pizzazz Factor clients about the importance of breathing to enhance your presence... but how important is breathing when it comes to exercise?

Well... you might realize the importance or even think it is a no brainer - but I promise you there is more to it than you might think.

There is a reason why Yoga and Pilates instructors put so much emphasis on breath... and not just any breath - but breathing deeply and fully. Your whole body relies on oxygen to function, but once you learn to breathe properly the benefits are endless.

In the gym I often see the weight lifters hold their breaths or push real hard when they lift heavy weights... I cringe when I think what damage they might be doing by depriving their bodies of oxygen while they work out... not to mention that they can burst an artery with the amount of stress they put on their blood vessels by cutting off the oxygen flow... you can be so much stronger when you use your breath to your advantage.

Breath energizes, it revitalizes and it calms. By breathing deeply and fully you will get so much more out of your workouts. You will have more energy, you will feel stronger and you will have more control over your heart rate and your whole body in general. It centers you... helps with balance and concentration...

Some even say that the simple act of deep breathing can also assist with weight loss because the intake of sufficient oxygen also helps your body metabolize better and faster. Your body needs oxygen to function... and the more oxygen it gets, the better it functions. It makes total sense...

So when you do your ... Be mindful of your breathing. I pay a lot of attention to your breath when I teach and I sporadically remind you to inhale and exhale with deep, full breaths.



The same for when you are doing your HBB stretches... breathe air into your muscles... feel the muscle fibres opening up and lengthen. Breath is so very important when you are stretching. By breathing deeply and correctly you will find that the muscles will be much more likely to lengthen.

When you inhale... really think of filling your lungs from bottom to top, like filling a bucket with water... and when you exhale, empty your lungs out to make space for the brand new oxygen rich air. Whatever you do, don't hold your breath! Breathe!

Breathe to energize
Breathe to restore
Breathe to calm
Breathe to balance
Breathe for optimal strength and power
Breathe for flexibility
Breathe for better concentration and focus
Breathe to get the most out of your workouts!

How to Reach your Fitness and Weight-Loss Goals PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 18 July 2008

I have always believed that the easiest way to be successful in reaching my goals is in finding those people with similar goals and who have already succeeded in reaching those goals and then learning as much as I can about them and their methods of reaching these goals.

That way I have a recipe that already worked for someone else and I will then follow it closely. Nine out of ten times, that will lead to the success of me reaching that similar goal successfully!

I have had some requests from some of you about my own weight loss and fitness goals and my own workout program. I had a goal and I reached it, and by sharing my recipe with you I hope that I can help some of you lose those stubborn pounds and tone your body so you can have that Hot Burning Body you have wanted and deserve!

I recently followed a specific program to get myself ready for a photo shoot for my upcoming Workout DVD's...

      

To me, as most of you know, weight loss is a big deal, but even more than that I am concerned about being fit and healthy so I can live a long and energetic life. The best way to do that is through healthy nutrition and exercise.

Today I will share the exercise portion of this with you.

I believe in changing it up... I do as many different kinds of exercise as I can... but obviously you need to follow a program, your body needs a routine. In the past couple of months I have been preparing for some specific photo sessions and had really wonderful results with the following workout routine to get into tip top shape.

I have been concentrating mainly on weight training, Hot Buring Body Bodyweight exercises and Cardio. Keep in mind that I work with fairly heavy weights to push my muscles to their limits.

Are you in a Downward Spiral? PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 15 July 2008
You are the only person that can take care of yourself.  No one else can do it for you.

If you look at yourself and you find that you are in a downward spiral... if your body is constantly aching, you have neck and back pain from the stress you have to deal with every day.  You feel like you keep gaining weight no matter what you do and that makes you feel miserable and depressed... and the more miserable and depressed you feel, the more your body aches and the more you eat and the more tired you feel...



Does any of this sound familiar?

See, the thing is, it is very difficult to distinguish between the cause and the symptoms...

A lack of exercise and sleep as well as bad eating habit can cause stress and muscular tension... it can cause you pain. And physical pain and depression can cause lack of sleep and bad eating habits.

If you are feeling physical pain all day, that in itself can make you feel miserable and depressed... and of course depression or anxiety can make you feel physical pain...

So the question is - where do you start in order to get yourself out of this state of mind - this downward spiral?  Because with the way you feel now, you don't have energy for anything!

OK, I know, I have been in that place not once, not twice but many times, so I feel your pain.  The fact is, that you have to start somewhere... and I'll tell you exactly where that is...

You need to make the conscious decision that you want to live a better, longer and healthier life than this and then you have to commit to it by doing two things:

1.  You have to change your eating habits

2. You have to start doing regular exercise

Oh, I know it is hard and there are always excuses... the most popular one is:  I do not have time, and the second is: I am too tired.

The point is, if you can get past only a week of adjusting your diet and doing exercise, you will start feeling more energetic and less tired, and you will see that you can find the time to exercise and prepare food that is nutritious.

The Hot Burning Body Workout System was created for you so you can get all the exercise you need in the shortest amount of time.  Time is no longer an excuse, and I have included a Quick start guide with a meal plan and recipes so I have taken all the mystery out of eating healthy.  And the meals I have outlined for you takes no longer than 10 to 15 minutes to prepare.

I know right now this is the last thing you want to hear - but you have to get the sleep, exercise and nutrition your body needs to get yourself out of this downward spiral. Do it for yourself, because no one else can do it for you!

The Hot Burning Body Workout system was designed to help you!

To your health and success

Vanessa Bader

P.S.  In the Quick start guide I show you how you can motivate yourself and stay motivated.  It is important that you start now!

Independence from the hold all that junk food has over you. Don't let food rule your life... use your self-determination to let go of all those bad habits and start living all the good habits today. All it takes is for you to make the decision and then be committed to it!



With the Hot Burning Body Workout, firstly I give you a workout that is fun to do and helps free your body of aches, pains, stiffness and excess fat:) And I also provide you with a quick start guide that shows you how to manage your weight and your well-being through healthy nutrition.

Remember - if it is there in your fridge and your cupboard, well, then you are going to eat it... so start by clearing away all the temptations and you are well on your way to claiming your independence and freedom!

Exercise can be fun and should be a part of your daily routine, even if it is only 20 to 30 minutes a day.

You have the capacity to manage your own life and make your own judgments. Take charge of your body... and you take charge of your life!

Kind regards

Vanessa Bader
