Asparagus is the best at de-bloating, since it helps flush out the bad stuff.
Eating foods like asparagus and celery will help keep you full and debloat you.
I befriend most of my clients, and I like to go out with them. I like to socialize with them: They're interesting.
Movement is exercise. Seemingly simple things - taking a walk, for example - can be just the spark your body needs to get back on a healthy track.
I like quick and efficient circuit training.
Lie and tell the waiter that you're deathly allergic to butter. This way you can enjoy the steak without all the excess fat.
Slow-twitch muscle fibers are mostly used for long endurance exercises like aerobics, swimming, and distance running. Fast-twitch muscle fibers are generally more powerful and are activated during maximum exertion exercises like heavy weightlifting and intensive, short bursts of sprints.
A combination of cardio exercises on the rowing machine, treadmill, elliptical, or The Gauntlet will help blast fat in the lower half of the body.
It's impractical to assume people aren't going to eat out or eat late or even have pizza occasionally. And all that's fine as long as you work out, even just for 10 minutes a day.
For me, the way I go about training all of my clients is by using short bursts of interval training - it's the most effective for burning calories as well as for cardiovascular health and making you stronger.
I find often people wait to order until I order. And then I love upsetting them. Sometimes I'll order a cheeseburger and macaroni and cheese.
Women can overdo it in their commitment to muscle development.
One of the easiest things to incorporate into your everyday life is plank exercises: great for your core, great for your lower back.
I always do some sort of plank exercise - whether it's a regular plank or a side plank, I always incorporate it into my workout.
I think that we all plateau, from fitness experts to regular folks at every fitness level. What that means is we need to change our exercise routine, food, and attitude.
If you go on a calorie-reduced diet without increasing your level of exercise, at a certain point, your body will lose a little weight and then plateau. You need to trick your body to burn more fuel than you're ingesting so you can continue to lose weight.
Working out is for both the mind and body, and being in a beautiful setting is conducive to a more pleasant experience. The more you enjoy your surroundings, the more likely you are to work out longer and harder.
If you do the treadmill or elliptical all the time, try adding the rowing machine or stair climber, maybe get a new bicycle. You want to keep it fresh.
I had a client who was getting ready for the Oscars, and all she ate was one meal a day - of two boiled eggs! I was able to persuade her to add some almonds and a protein shake and some vitamin supplements. It's a self-defeating strategy. You need to eat enough, particularly protein, to build lean and toned muscle in the first place.
If someone is worried about bulking up their quads, they're not going to do a traditional squat. They're going to do a wide-stance squat or a plie squat, which is second position dance, opening up your legs and bringing the focus to the inner thighs and not to the quads.
