The Four Week Hot Burning Body Challenge PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 29 November 2007
Hi everyone...

I recently did a one month Hot Burning Body Workshop with a group of six people on board the cruise ship where I was performing.  Being an Aesthetician and Cosmetologist myself as well as a personal trainer and Pilates instructor I spend a lot of time in the gym and spa - I often make friends with the spa and gym people very quickly.  I decided to do a workshop with some of the members of the spa-team because they all expressed to me that they would like to get into healthier habits.  They wanted to get their bodies into shape and learn how to exercise in a way that gives the best results. 

We started the program at the beginning of November and worked out together four to five times a week for four weeks.  I didn't know how many of them would see it through because they all work such long days and most of them didn't like the idea of working out at all. 

To my surprize, they all stuck with it and everybody started noticing positive changes... they had more energy during the day, increased strength and flexibility, endurance and they all lost weight
in just one short month.  Turns out they enjoyed the program so much that they all decided to invest in a copy of the Hot Burning Body Workout and they are all going to continue on with the program.

On the last night of the official "four week proram" - we went out to celebrate...
Here we all are - Celebrating!

Here is what a few of them said about their experience with the Hot Burning Body Workout System:

My name is Almira San Buenoventura from the beautiful Island of the Phillipines.  I am a massage therapist qualified in 17 different kinds of massage techniques....

Change your Attitude towards Yourself PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 29 November 2007
I am doing a Hot Burning Body workshop with some of the staff here on the ship.  They are working out with me three times a week for the next four weeks. I thought it would be great as a lot of them needed some inspiration and guidance as to how to stay in shape here on the ship.

Last night I was having a heart-to-heart with them as we are now in the Caribbean and for quite a few of them it is a challenge to get into a swimsuit without breaking into tears.

Believe me, I understand - I have been there and it is really difficult, specially when you are with people you know and respect.  Not only friends, but also co-workers, employers and a lot of the time guests on the ship.

Here there is no escaping that - a ship is like a small island, you are forced to live, work and socialize with all the same people.

One of the girls expressed to me how completely unhappy she is. She is a really pretty girl who has about fifteen pounds to lose, but her self-image is so shattered that she can not even see how that is ever possible.  She can't begin to for a picture of herself as the beautiful young blonde that she is...

Shades of You PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 26 November 2007
Life isn't one-dimensional and neither are you.

You should embrace your personality... you are three dimensional and like a brilliant painting your personality consists of many different shades of color, light and dark, and various different textures.

It is all the different aspects of you that makes you unique, and your uniqueness is what makes you special. You are like no other. You are colorful just like the painters palette you have many colors and many shades!



You should embrace that and get to know that - get to know you. Get to know all the nuances of who you are and be that person wholeheartedly and proudly. With the self-assuredness that you gain from truly knowing yourself... that is when you can exhibit your Magnetic Charisma and your Powerful Presence - Your Pizzazz Factor.

When you look at a painting - a masterpiece, you will notice that it is the contrast of the dark colors that make the bright and light colors seem so brilliant and like with any masterpiece, every time you look at it you might notice something different about it.

Just like that, different aspects of you are being emphasized every day. You need to embrace all the shades of you and you will see that they are all beautiful. When you walk proud and you feel confident and comfortable with who you are... that is when you radiate.

But remember - every great artist uses great tools to create their paintings. A good canvas, good paint and quality brushes. Some paintings take days, months and even years and evolve as the painter creates it.

The Pizzazz Factor gives you the quality tools to create your painting - except your painting is never complete and ever changing and growing... but that is what makes it so exciting.

Don't be afraid to be who you are and to be proud of that. Yes, we all are constantly evolving and that is why it is such an exciting ride that reveals different shades of you. Set the self-confident you free - Remember - you are a painting that is evolving into a masterpiece.

Let the Pizzazz Factor help you shine and stand out just like the vivid and bright colors of a painting. Discover the masterpiece that is you!

You have the Power!

Kind Regards

Exercise of the Month - November '07 PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 19 November 2007
Vanessa demonstrating Turned Out Squats in Second

This Exercise is excellent to strengthen all the muscles of the legs, the buttock, the core and even the arms. This one is specially good for the girls who are struggling with those saddle bags. But this exercise is probably one of the most valuable exercises you'll ever do - I do this one almost every day.



- Start by standing tall, feet wider than hip width apart
- Legs are turned out from the hip through the knee all the way to
the toes. In other words, toes facing out to a 45 degree angle.
- Belly button lifted, arms exended out to the side, shoulders into
the back, long neck - don't look at the floor, look straight ahead.
- Make sure your pelvis isn't tilted forward or backwards so your
sitting bones are facing the floor, hip flexors extended.


- Breathe in as you...
- Keep the upper body very still, you are going to slowly bend
your knees until they are at a ninety degree angle with your
hips. (If you can't go that far, start with a smaller bend and work
your way up to a full squat)
- Make sure your knees are turned out so they are directly over
your middle toes and you are keeping the feet from rolling
inwards. Keep the insteps lifted.
- Feel like you are resisting against thick air as you go down and
make sure you don't stick your butt out as illustrated below.
- The shoulders have to remain over the hips and the tailbone
facing the floor not the back wall.

- Now hold it at the lowest point for a count of three and then
slowly stretch your legs and squeeze your butt and inner thighs.
- exhale as you grow tall through the top of the head.
- Repeat 10 to 20 times

Correct                                   Incorrect

             

Note: Keep the arms lengthened and the elbows slightly lifted, don't let the elbows drop and get that look like a chicken wing...

Keep the arms and back strong and the chin lifted.
Push the knees out to the side and squeeze your tush!

Brilliant... you're on your way to a tight and toned body!

Regards
Vanessa Bader

Your Handshake is Revealing PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 10 November 2007
A handshake is the most common way of greeting for majority of people. You might not realize it but your handshake reveals a lot about you even though you may never even give it any thought. Your handshake is part of your personal Body Language.

For instance - have you ever shaken hands and you feel all the bones in your hand being crushed by some rambunctious egotistical male... or woman? How about the time when you reach for someone's hand and there is no life... just a limp, lifeless wrist - no energy - nothing.

A lot of the time both these kinds of handshakes are totally unintentional... these people are quite often not aware of the kind of energy they are projecting.



After our show last night, Garin and I went to stand outside the theatre door once more like we always do to greet the audience members as they leave the showroom.

Every week we shake hands with hundreds of people as they stream out of the theatre, anxious to touch the hands of the virtuoso pianist and master magician. (That is my husband, Garin for those of you who don't know yet). When you shake so many people's hands all in a row it is amazing how aware you become of the different kinds of handshakes.

Feel Energetic, Healthy and Happy! PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 09 November 2007
Aaaah!  I feel great!  This morning I was reminded how big a part exercise plays in my Pizzazz Factor.

We have been traveling for three days.  Three full days without exercise and healthy food and my body feels tired, dragged down and filled with toxins.  I feel sluggish and heavy.  It is amazing what a few days without exercise can do.

This morning I woke up and decided to start my day with some cardio before breakfast.  Here on the ship they have a beautiful, big gym with ample cardio equipment.  But I get really bored, really quickly, no matter how much I change it up on the cardio equipment.

Eleven minutes on the stair-climber, thirteen on the elliptical and eight minutes on the treadmill... even that ends up boring me. That is why I opt to do my HOT BURNING BODY workout because I know it is going to get my heart rate pumping, my muscles burning and it will keep my brain stimulated.

Exercise makes me feel energetic, vibrant, healthy and happy - all ingredients of having the Pizzazz Factor. So to me, exercise definitely enhances my magnetic presence, my self-confidence, all a big part of my Pizzazz Factor.



Even though the Pizzazz Factor is not about how skinny you are, or what the shape of your body is, but it is definitely about feeling great about your self.  About feeling energetic, healthy and happy.

I feel my best when I am exercising, and only when you feel your best, can you fully express your Pizzazz!

If you are living a sedentary lifestyle, you might not even realize how great it feels to be active.  I promise you that a little bit of exercise can change your life! You will feel more alive, more energetic and more vibrant than ever.

So, give it a try - see what it can do for you and your Pizzazz! You will love the Hot Burning Body Workout System, no matter if you are a beginner or a seasoned athlete, I have included a level for everyone!

Kind Regards

Vanessa Bader

P.S.  The Hot Burning Body Workout is now available to you - this system makes exercising fun.  You will enjoy it so much that you will be looking forward to your workout every day.

Donald Trump has Pizzazz PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 07 November 2007
Yesterday I watched an interview with Donald Trump and it confirmed again something I already know. This man is as successful as he is because he definitely has “It” – that special something.

It also once again reiterated the fact that Pizzazz is not about looks, it is not about being as gorgeous as a model or a superstar – you don’t have to be flawless or perfect to have what it takes to be successful and charismatic.

Donald Trump has been taking a lot of heat about his “funny” hairstyle for many years, yet he never bothered to change it because that is how he likes it and his hair is now one of his most well-known trademarks!

Don’t be scared to be different – Don’t be scared to be “You”.



During this interview he was completely comfortable yet he had a strong presence, powerful posture and undeniable charisma. He admitted that even when times were bad and he thought he might be going completely bankrupt – he always kept up appearances, he kept his chin high and he never gave up.

Sounds like Bogus PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 05 November 2007
Great posture is important for so many reasons and it can literally change your life!  You might think I am over exaggerating, but just take a moment and hear me out.

A beautiful upright posture immediately separates you from the rest.  It gives you that look of pure confidence and poise and if you add a smile to that, your radiance will be undeniably noticeable.

But the awesome thing is that not only will you look phenomenal, you will also feel more energetic and completely self-confident.  Good posture can effect the way you look as well as the way you feel.

I haven't even mentioned all the physiological advantages of improving your posture yet...

Are you experiencing chronic lower backache? Do you walk around with a constant headache because you have so much tension in your neck and shoulders? Do you have a knee that is giving you trouble?

It might just be that you are experiencing all these inexplicable aches and pains due to the fact that your body is so out of alignment because of the way you let your posture deteriorate.

When your posture becomes misaligned with gravity, the balance between muscles are disturbed and certain muscle groups have to work overtime to keep you upright.  That is why you might start experiencing excessive muscle tension and even pains in the joints.

It is never too late to start improving your posture, but the older you get the harder it becomes, so don't delay another moment.  This is something you can do right now by simply becoming aware of it!

In the Pizzazz Factor I explain and demonstrate step by step how you can improve your posture and by doing that get rid of aches and pains and at the same time give yourself a positive, poised and radiant image that will stand out in any crowd instantly. 

You will gain respect from everyone you come in contact with and you will be amazed at how suddenly you will be receiving compliments left, right and center.  You will immediately look completely different - more attractive and more radiant, and more in control without changing your wardrobe, without plastic surgery or any other drastic measures.

Posture can do wonders for you, your relationships and your career.  I know it sounds like bogus - too good to be true!  But take my advice and become more aware of your posture right now and just see what happens!

You have the Power!

Kind regards

Vanessa Bader

P.S.  I am actually filming a new program tomorrow... It is the latest craze with the celebrities and rightly so. It is the most amazingly empowering workout that can also do a whole lot for your self-image, self-confidence and Posture! I'll be telling you more about that in the near future!
