Why working out?

Today while walking into my gym, I was asking myself: "Why am I going to the gym?" "w
Why do I work out?"
Then being on the Treadmill, feeling my heart rate is getting up, breaking a sweat, I
kind of felt better and better. That boost from a workout helps me to go through my day
so much better. I feel stronger, I feel good and I feel like I can conquer the world.
If that is not a good reason to workout!

Enjoy your workout guys, and keep reminding yourself: You do something great for
your body and soul!!!!!!!!

Feel the burn!!!!!!!!!!

hi guys,

had an awesome workout this morning in my gym.
I took some dumbbells and did upper body workout before I did any cardio.
Usually I do my cardio before weigth training, but I love to change things up.
This time weight training was my warm up, I used light weight to avoid injury.
I felt the burn and then, I went on a treadmill and did run and walk for 20 minutes.
That felt good too. Afterwards I did some jumping jacks, jump squats, push ups and abs.
Then after that, I went to stepper and did 10 minutes on the stepper.
After that I did some more push ups and finished my workout with a great ab workout routine.
I felt the burn and that is what makes me happy. I am not leaving the gym without the burn!!!!!!!!!!

Love it!

Listen to your body

Listen do your body!
There are days you are more tired than other days, there are days you have lots of energy.
do not beat yourself up on days you are tired and feel sluggish. give yourself the rest you need, your body will love you for that. Accept what you feel and do not push yourself too far. Listen to your body!
What is it my body needs? What would it make feel good?
when you body is healthy, your mind is happy, when your mind is happy, you are more open to listening to your body.

Stretching before or after workout?

People ask me, Silvia, when is the best time to stretch? My answer:

Anytime is the best time! After a warm up, you can strecht the muscle your are going to work on, you can also stretch time while training, and please do not forget to stretch them after your workout. Stretching is very important! your muscles will thank you for that!

Eat to slim and tone

To shred more fat, stick for a 1500 calorie a day diet. Make sure you include plenty of lean protein and foods with calcium, vitamin D and magnesium, they will help you with weight loss, build muscle and gives you energy.

DIET DIET DIET - WHAT DO YOU EAT?-be good to your body

I am curious about your diet, about what kind of food you take in and how much, how often.
You can workout but you cannot outtrain your diet. and also, be careful, if you train like a football player, you will eat like a football player and of course look like a football player. do you want that? if yes, then congratulation, if no is the answer, then think about your training and diet. as I have often said it in the past:
diet 80%, workout 20%.
eat healthier, then you do not have to burn all those calories at the gym, also if you want to burn fat, you cannot stressing out your body too much. it will hold on to the fat. give your body some break and relaxing timne.

LAST MINUTE WORKOUT

This is my latest last minute workout:

Run on place for 2 minutes, then 20 jumping jacks, 20 jump squats, 20 push ups and then 20 crunches.
I am repeating this 3 times.
Have fun and burn some calories and build some muscles!

CHANGE UP YOUR WORKOUTS - THEN YOU GET THE RESULTS

people are often wondering, why they do not see results in the gym. they are working out 3-5 times a week, even more often, do the same routine and expecting the body will change. If you want to see changes, then you have to make a change. If you usually start your workout with cardio, then do the opposite, start with your weightlifting routine and finish your workout with 30 minutes of cardio.
If you usually run on treadmill, use the stairmaster instead, if you use dumbbells for sculpting body, then use machines instead.
try it out, your muscles will love it

GET MUSIC FOR YOUR WORKOUT

ONE OF THE BEST MOTIVATOR FOR WORKING OUT IS MUSIC!
GET MUSIC WHICH KEEPS YOU RUNNING; WORKING OUT WITH HIGH ENERGY:

CREATE GOOD HABITS

As a personal trainer I am helping my clients to create good habits and stick to them. If you are serious about changing an unhealthy lifestyle, you have to develop good habits, like brushing your teeth in the morning. For me fitness is a lifestyle and it does not end in the gym. I breath fitness and I live it everyday. I am not giving it up for anything! Be happy, be healthy, be fit!!!! Start today,  do something, get off the coach, take a stroll around your neighborhood, buy a mat, do yoga, get your bike and ride to the beach. start today developing good habits.

DIET 80% EXERCISE 20%

When you see all those fit people you think, wow they must be working out all the time.
Well I am pretty sure they do workout out on a regular basis, no pain no gain. But here it comes when you want to know the secret of their fitness success?!!: It is their diet,, well better called their nutrition. When you eat well, you already win the more than the half battle. You cannot workout and have a bad diet and expect to see results unless you belong to those people with the desired DNA, but that will backfire them sooner or later too. So stick to a healthy diet and workout at least 3 times a week, bikini body here I come!

TIRED OF RUNNING ON TREADMILL? DO THIS!

you are tired of the same old "running on the treadmill workout"?
Try this out, next time you are jumping on it: walk 2 minutes, get off and do some push up, go back on , run for 2 minutes, walk 2 minutes, get off, do some push ups, run 2 minutes etc...do this for 15 minutes and you have an awesome treadmill workout with upper body workout.

Weight Training or Cardio?????

This is a question people ask me often. I like to say that this cannot be answered that easy. why?
Because everybody is different, everybody has different body, different shapes, different type.
therefore it is depends on many things. for a person who is obese, overweight, out of shape, I would recommend to lose weight first with big amount of cardio, but do not neglect the weight training part. but at first focus on cardio to lose weight, then slowly start with weight training in order to get toned and get lean muscle mass. People who are not that overweight, who just want to get rid of some fat on certain body parts, I would recommend to focus on more weight training, but still do cardio but not too much!

SUNDAY WORKOUT

Hello everybody,

Today is Sunday and you just want to relax and do nothing. That is fine. I just want to tell you how you can still get some movements through out the day. So, when you are not in the mood to hit the gym etc...I would suggest, to do at least 20 squats in the morning while brushing your teeth or something. then later while you are waiting for your coffee or breakfast, you can do some lunges or at least while you are in line at starbucks coffee, you can squeeze your glutes 20 times. better than nothing, you do some workout!

workout smarter not harder

today I would like to talk about the quantity and quality of workouts.
people think if you workout for 3 hours a day you will achieve your fitness goals faster.
well I have to say, rest is part of fitness and building lean strong muscles.
keep that in mind. I would recommend to do an interval training for 45 minutes which includes cardio and strength training, do not forget stretching!!!!!

EAT HEALTHY - BE HAPPY

If your diet consists of veggies, fruits and whole grains, you have more energy throughout the day and you are also happier. Those foods are rich in fiber which helps your digestion.
Happy meals, happy you! try you snack on carrots and apples instead of chips or ice cream.
you will see, your body will thank you for that and you can smile and be happy!

No time for workout?

The other day, I was pressed with time and did not have enough time going to the gym. That is no problem if you are creative enough. In my own living I did have an amazing and sweaty workout! I did jumping jacks, followed by squats, then push up, high knees. this routine I did 3 times. then I did crunches on the floor and hip extensions. 15 minutes and done. I felt great and got a sweat in before a busy day at work. Love it!

Working out on an empty stomach

If you can make it happen and getting up early before work, hit the gym, go outside running or do some kind of exercise, on an empty stomach. that will help you to lose weight faster!!!!but  make sure to drink enough water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get enough rest! Lose weight while sleeping

Today I did it again! I slept for 8 hours and it feels good. Make sure to get enough sleep, that helps your body to recover. too much stress and not enough sleep is toxic for your body and it will hold on fat.

love your body

We all come in different shape, have different bodies.
Women out there, accept and love your bodies,
it is the only body you have!!!!!!!!!!

Achieve your fitness goals!
