Everyday I read something different. One person says you should do weight bearing exercise and the other says you should stay away from the weights because you will injure yourself and do damage to your body, you should only do body weight exercises.

Now, have you ever noticed that you might be really in shape and fit for one thing – one activity, but then not for the other?  For instance… you might be able to play a whole game of football or rugby because you conditioned your body to do so, but then your try to swim ten laps and you can barely do it?

My point is that of course being fit and in shape doing one activity is going to help you do another with more ease, but if you want your body to be in the best condition ever, I say you need to do as many different kinds of exercise as possible.

Each kind of exercise has a place in the world of fitness and weight-loss and the more you can mix it up the better.

Besides, one of the main reasons people do not continue working out is because they get bored.  I can’t tell you how many of my clients come to me saying: “I stopped working out because I got so bored I just could not motivate myself to get to the gym anymore”

When you mix it up and you try different kinds of exercise, not only is it more interesting and exciting, but you challenge your body and your mind on so many different levels that you will see incredible results. The results alone is the best motivation.  When I see results, that is when I want to do even more!

For those of you who do not know, I am a dancer who is passionate about Pilates and yoga, but at the same time I also do weight training and Kettlebell training.  That way – I keep my workouts interesting and fun and I am constantly challenging my body on different levels.

So why in the world stick to only one method of training? The more you can mix it up the better. Therefore I have two amazing workout series available for you… (And a third on the way) By all means start with the one first and then maybe add the other later.

My Hot Burning Body workouts give you everything you need – variety, excitement and constant challenge so there is not time to get bored.  You will be looking forward to your workout every day because you can mix it up – Every day something different to give you maximum benefits!

I provide you with an array of body weight exercises that have been put together in the most unique way… not the same boring old “let’s do ten of this and ten of that”.

My Kettlebell workout is great for anyone who has not done kettlebells before. But this workout will give you unbelievable cardio vascular endurance, functional strength and is a full body workout like none other. The advanced Kettlebell workout will be coming your way very soon.

Burn Maximum calories in minimum time as well as getting all the benefits of a healthy, strong and toned body!

To your health and strength

P.S. So, the final answer to the question?  I say – Mix it up! No need to just stick to bodyweight exercises or only do weight bearing exercises, I say – do it all!

I want you to understand that it is very good to have a role model – maybe you have a picture of Brad Pitt or Brooke Burke up on your fridge.  But no matter whose body you admire, you have to remember that you are unique.  We are all different and your goal should be to get YOUR body to look the best that it possibly can.

Besides, let’s get real – remember that the picture you cut from that magazine has more than likely been digitally enhanced… and chances are that the person who you have singled out as your “ultimate inspiration” might have even had some cosmetic surgery.

Now I am not trying to tell you that you can not have the body you want or a close to perfect body, because you absolutely can – but you need to have a realistic goal.

Have a realistic body-image, a realistic goal

First we have to familiarize ourselves with the different body types and you want to try and figure out which category you belong to.  It is important to understand your shape and what you can expect from it.

The APPLE SHAPE:

The apple shape tends to store extra weight in his or her upper body.  This fat usually gets stored around the belly area.  It is important for Apples to be health conscious as fat stored in the upper body can lead to cardiac disease.

The PEAR SHAPE (that’s me… mmm)

Pears are mostly women.  They tend to store any excess fat in the lower body: Hips, Thighs and Buttocks, and of course those good old saddle bags we hate so much. This type of fat is not as much of a health risk as abdominal fat but it is harder to lose.

The PROPORTIONATE SHAPE:

You are the lucky ones!  Proportionates have fat cells distributed equally throughout their entire body.  They gain weight everywhere, evenly distributed amongst all the different body parts. When they lose weight, it also comes off evenly.

With the proper diet and the correct exercises you can do a lot to alter your shape, but you must remember and understand that you can only win against genetics up to a certain point.

Once you understand this, you can let go of those unreachable goals and replace them with real ones.

With the Hot Burning Body System I give you all the tools you need to achieve your ultimate goal – the realistic goal that you have set for yourself.  You can reach your ultimate potential with this system.

I give you a six day meal plan that you can use as a guideline to plan your meals in the future.  The Hot Burning Body Workout is a compilation of the best of the best.  I have compiled the best body weight exercises to give you the fastest and most effective results.

I have been engulfed in the fitness world ever since I can remember.  I have taken my extensive knowledge of Dance, Pilates, Yoga, Weight training and Body Conditioning and advanced stretching techniques to bring you a workout that gets right to the nitty-gritty of it!

You can be the Ultimate You with the Hot Burning Body System…
To your Health and Strength!
