It is the “All-or-Nothing” attitude!

It is very important to remember that nobody is perfect.  We all have goals and sometimes we don’t reach them in the time frame we set out to and that is perfectly OK!

Repeat after me – I Do Not Have To Be Perfect!

I see people put themselves on these very rigorous workout and diet plans… they start out very strong and all goes well for a while.  But then it becomes really hard to keep it up and one day they might just eat a little something they are “not suppose to” eat,
or they miss one workout and then they think it is the end.

They throw in the towel right there and then thinking that this is the end of all their hard work and oh well, now I have ruined everything so I will just go back to my old habits because I don’t have what it takes to do this anyway!

This is the WRONG Attitude!

This way of thinking makes it almost impossible to overcome a setback.  These kind of negative thoughts and behavior spins around in your head and leads to poor self-image, stress and destructive behavior.

This is why healthy lifestyle is the word – but so is balance and enjoyment of life.

It is totally OK if once in a while you have a piece of cake or you drink a Coke… or maybe you didn’t make it to your workout that day because you had to work late – So What?

If you are going to eat something sugary and sweet or fatty and decadent, or if you are going to take a day off from your workout, well then you might as well enjoy it! Consciously enjoy it – make it worthwhile – savor it!

Enjoy the piece of cake, or the hamburger – and then you get back on the wagon.  Don’t beat yourself up about it and give up everything you have worked so hard for because you encountered one little hurdle or you stepped out of bounds for a moment… this is really important.

When it comes to diet and exercise – you have to find a healthy balance… if you don’t it can most certainly mess with your head and you will never get to where you want to be – you will never reach your goal.

Enjoy – and move on!

But now, once again – remember the word balance. I am not giving you a license now to do this every hour or every day…

If you have a sweet tooth or there is something specific you really enjoy and you know it is not totally in line with your “healthy lifestyle”, then here is what I do…

See, I LOVE Ice cream… If I could, I would eat ice cream every day – but now to satisfy my cravings and at the same time to enjoy myself and life – I allow myself two (small) scoops of ice-cream a week.

I can either have half a scoop, four days a week, or one scoop twice a week or both scoops all on one day… it is my choice.  And some weeks I might not have any, or I might have one scoop all week – but I still have the free will to choose!

This is a very important statement I just made… As human beings we do not respond well to anything if it takes away our free will – our privilege to make choices for ourselves. So no matter what it is – try to always find a way to give yourself different options.

So forget about the “All or Nothing” attitude and simply set out to do your best.  There is no such thing as failing… it is all about picking up where you left off!

To your Health and Success!

P.S. In the Quick Start Guide that I give you with your Hot Burning Body Workout, I give you great ideas on how to make your meals fun and healthy as well as tasty, and I give you many options and different workouts so you can always have the choice as to what it is you feel you want to do that day.

When it comes to home workout DVD’s I do believer there is a lot of good stuff out there, but I also know that there is a lot of crap.  So how do you know what to pick up? How do you know that the workout DVD you pick up off the shelf is the one that is going to give you the workout and the weight-loss results that you so badly want?

I believe that my Kettlebell Extreme workout is one you really want to pick up… and I give you permission to correct me if I am wrong!  Try it… if you don’t like it, you can send it right back – no questions asked.

That is how confident I feel that this is a DVD that you want to add to your collection and most probably keep right on top where you can grab it first. This workout is high octane action, and tons
of fun and requires less than 25 minutes to complete!

Why would you possibly want to attempt working out with kettlebells?

For starters…
- Kettlebell training gives you functional strength

Kettlebell Extreme

In other words, it prepares your body so that it can be strong and resilient for everyday tasks. The exercises are explosive and dynamic and very three dimensional and these exercises work your body as a whole. All the muscles are working in conjunction with each other.

Whereas with regular weight training you tend to isolate muscles and mostly work very two dimensionally. Barely any of the movements you perform during regular weight training will be applicable to everyday regular tasks.

The localized weight of the Kettlebell very closely simulates moving around regular everyday objects like shopping bags for instance. Not only that, but the way kettlebell exercises are performed ensures that you get your cardio exercise at the same time as your resistance training… so no more long, boring cardio workouts!

Those are only a couple of unique advantages of kettlebell training…
Here is some more 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.

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!

I am having a magnificent time – I miss my family so much as the opportunity so come home does not present itself as often as I would like it to.

On a trip like this one, where I have the chance to indulge in all the goodies that I miss from home, as well as mom’s good cooking – I have to make sure that I get my workouts in regularly and I have to make sure they count big-time.

The perfect recipe to maintain healthy body weight is a combination of healthy eating and regular exercise… but sometimes when your calorie intake increases, you have to make sure that you get the most out of your exercise routine in order to keep the weight off.

Being home and visiting with my family means that I want to spend the most time possible with them and the least time possible in the gym.

So how do you get the best calorie burning and toning results without spending hours on end in a gym?  The answer consists of two words –

1) INTENSITY and

Intensity and Focus

2) FOCUS

No matter what method of exercise you pick – if you want to get the greatest results, you have to exercise intensely.  You might be asking right now, how do I know that I am working out intensely?

Well, if you are not breathing heavily and you are not sweating profusely after the first fifteen minutes, then your workout is not intense enough.  Give yourself a good ten minutes to warm up your body and your heart, and then hit it hard.

By working with higher intensity, you are causing your whole body to burn hotter and faster.

The cool thing about a real intense workout is that firstly you can burn as many calories in thirty minutes as you would in an hour with moderate exercise.

Secondly, because your body takes longer to cool down you will still be burning calories for about an hour after your workout.  Double the benefit!

By “Focus” I mean that you should be mentally engaged in the activity you are doing and you need to consciously activate the muscles needed to do the specific exercise – that way the body not only works more efficiently and more intensely, but the mind is fully engaged for optimal results.

So by increasing the intensity of my workouts and by making sure I am mentally totally engaged in what I am doing and which muscles are doing the work, I can cut my workouts shorter and still get the amazing results I want.

In the Hot Burning Body Workouts I make sure you are fully focused mentally on every movement you do.  My new Kettlebell workouts are honed towards those two principals – focus and intensity. The exercises are crafted and have been fine tuned to give you the kind of intensity you need in your workout to give you Optimal results in the Minimum time!

So go out there and Push it! You are worth it!

To your health and strength

Once again I am doing a six week Weight Loss Challenge with a very enthusiastic group of people.

None of them were working out when they joined the challenge but they all had a dream of transforming their bodies and their attitudes… and you will be amazed at what we have accomplished in just a few short weeks – they can’t even believe it.

Yesterday I reminded them that this is the last week in this challenge and that this week they need to even push themselves to the next level. The truth is that when we started this, none of them had any idea how strong they actually are – physically and mentally!

Now they don’t want the journey to end, they all expressed to me how upset they are as they don’t want to stop, they all feel so great.  They all feel like winners with more confidence and willpower and much more energy than before.

I assured them that I would be right there to keep encouraging them via email… they now know what to do and they are in a solid routine.  I have also reminded them that they can join me in my “online personal training” doing workouts with them, or they can come back and see me for private sessions or group classes any time – and I know they will continue to attend because – the bug has bitten them all!

They are addicted to this healthy lifestyle purely because they now know how good it feels. Once you start seeing the results and reaping the rewards of your hard work you don’t want to stop.

Just like this group of people, you can get into the habit within three to four weeks if you just see it through!  The Hot Burning Body Workout makes it easy, because it is so much fun to do and it challenges you to a level where you are amazed at the things you are actually able to do!

Don’t underestimate yourself – get the Hot Burning Body Workout System and start getting addicted to a healthier lifestyle and get your Hot looking body in no time!

Kind Regards

I’d like to tell you about one of the most comprehensive and powerful finger exercise and hand grip courses you’ll ever find. If you want to achieve peak performance in any sport or art, at some point, you’ll need to get serious about developing hand strength down to your fingertips, speed, and lightning fast dexterity.

Strong and healthy hands

If that time is now. I’ve got something amazing for you…

My husband, Garin Bader, is the winner of 13 international competitions for both this concert piano playing and magic sleight-of-hand abilities. Only a select few have earned the title of Virtuoso Pianist, even fewer have earned the title of Master Illusionist. He’s an artist that not only holds both titles, but in addition, he’s an extraordinary martial artist and strength trainer.

It’s rare to find anyone in the world who can do two finger push-ups – let alone do them in a complete plank position with both arms locked out overhead. So, not only can he do all of these things, but through a lifetime of experimentation and practice, he’s developed an all-in-one course of finger strength exercises that’ll not only give you unbelievably strong fingers but also suppleness, grace, and fantastic dexterity all the same time.

He tours most of the year around the world performing at the best concert halls in the world and even has performed at Carnegie Hall and the London Palladium, as well as Las Vegas

He’ll show you the exact exercises and secrets he does himself to get extreme finger strength and dexterity. He’s put together unique and powerful hand and finger exercises to give you extraordinary results for any sport, activity, or musical instrument you may play – not to mention that you’ll discover invaluable techniques to prevent carpal tunnel and gain relief from debilitating tension and pain.

There’s a lot of hand exercises out there they can downright injure your hands quickly and even go so far as to give you carpal tunnel. Through years of extensive experimentation, he’s giving you the best of the best exercises he’s found that cover a whole gamut of applications.

These finger and hand exercises will strengthen your fingers in the best, quickest, and injury-free ways.

He gives you some cool bonuses, including finger therapy putty, a whole section on how to use it, and access to bonus videos that is always adding to that are on private webpagse set up especially for you.

Unfortunately I was never naturally flexible like a lot of dancers and gymnasts out there… some people are genetically more flexible than others, but in my quest to be a great dancer I discovered some of the secrets that helped me reached my goal.

Now, you might be thinking, well I am no athlete or dancer or gymnast, why would I be concerned with maintaining my flexibility?  The answer is very simple – for all round better quality of life, youthfulness and energy!

Streth to stay healthy and pain free

In the Hot Burning Body Workout Series I make use mostly of active stretching techniques because that improves the balance between strength and flexibility.  I have also included some static stretches that you can easily do  reading or watching television or even during those pesky commercial breaks.

But no matter which technique you choose there are two very important and simple guidelines you need to follow when you stretch to get the most benefit.

1) Breathe

2) Relax

For many years I couldn’t understand why I was having such a hard time to improve my flexibility while everyone else in class seemed like Gumby.

Then I discovered the secret; I was not relaxing while I was stretching – I was simply trying too hard.

In order for the muscles to be able to lengthen they have to relax, because when a muscle is tense, it is in a shortened state.  So stretching without breathing and relaxing is completely counter productive.

Try this:

Pick a stretch.  It might be a hamstring or groin stretch or even a shoulder or chest stretch – but get into the position of the stretch.   Start at a very comfortable range, then take a really deep breath.

Now, as you exhale – imagine that muscle melting – feel it going completely limp as you take it deeper into the stretch.  Now breathe very relaxed for about ten seconds and then release the stretch to a comfortable range.  Repeat 5 times.

If you are doing it correctly you will notice that every time you repeat the exercise you will be able to increase your range considerably.

Breath and relaxation is the key!

Happy stretching!

Kind regards

Vanessa Bader

P.S.  In the Hot Burning Body Workout I put as much emphasis on flexibility as I do on strength, because when you find the perfect balance between the two is when you are the least likely to ever injure yourself and you can move freely and easily.
