Today is Independence Day here in the United States. So to everyone in America – Happy 4th of July

Now how about claiming independence for yourself? Let us look at what the word independence really means according to the dictionary…

Being independent means freedom from the control, influence, support, aid, or the like, of others. Now how about finding that freedom and independence regarding food, and taking charge of your body, your health and your own life!

Are you being held hostage by your own doubts and thoughts; by your low self-image… constant thoughts of lack of self-worth? Are you being hounded by constant thoughts of food? Do you feel like you have lost control of your body?

By Starting right away with a regular exercise program and by clearing out your pantry and your fridge of all the fatty and sugary foods that you very well know are no good for your health or your figure, you are claiming back your own independence.

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

Do I need to do Cardio? Which Cardio machine is the best, how much cardio should I do? These are some very frequently asked questions and I thought I’d address this matter today.

I will give you my thought on this subject in a nutshell.  And I am not just giving you thoughts but knowledge from personal experience. Experience from years of doing myself and teaching others.

Cardio is important… you want to keep your heart strong and fit. Now I am not against cardio 
equipment but you do not need any machines to get sufficient cardio exercise.  As a matter of fact, the best cardio vascular exercise can be done while doing resistance training.  Body weight exercises are by far the most effective and safest way to get your cardio training in.

In the Hot Burning Body workouts there are quite a number of exercises that demonstrate this fact. Take for instance the lunge combination. If I wear my heart-rate monitor while doing that exercise and I do the exercise up to speed, my heart-rate up to a 174 bpm by the time I start the second set.

Not to mention the lunges with leg lifts and a few others.  By the time I am done with those my heart rate is sometimes sky high – healthily so, and at the same time my legs and my abs and my arms and glutes are getting a great workout. 

When it comes to cardio equipment.  Each machine has its pros and cons of course.  If you have bad knees or ankles, or you suffer from lower back pain or weak back, I would suggest you stay away from the treadmill.  When walking and running on the treadmill there is a lot of joint impact and kneecap stress.  

If you are healthy, then the treadmill is OK but make sure you are wearing proper running shoes, they will
absorb some of the impact.  

As for the other machines, I think it is a good idea to change it up.  Cross training using more than one machine in your exercise program is a good approach because you get each machine’s benefits while minimizing its shortcomings.

The important thing is to exercise consistently.  Your general strategy for all cardio vascular exercise is to train four to six days per week, alternating intense and easy days.

But like I said before, if you do the Hot Burning Body workout four to six times a week, you will have no need for cardio equipment.  And you will quickly see which exercises gives you the most cardio vascular benefits.

On the days that you want to increase your cardio, just to a few extra repetitions of those exercises.

The Hot Burning Body Workout System is all you need to improve your Strength, flexibility, movement quality, coordination and cardio vascular endurance all in one!

Kind Regards

P.S. I will soon have a circuit training Hot Burning Body DVD available for you.  This will give you the extra benefit of cardio vascular training and strength training in one workout.
