Hello Everyone!
This new forum is being set-up specifically to help with those of you out there with fitness, exercising and nutritional questions. As many of you know, I am among other things, a competitive bodybuilder, powerlifter and former collegiate football athelete. I am also a certified personal trainer and nutritionist who has been in this industry for over 15 years. Any and all questions will be answered, so feel free to post!!!

You will also be seeing a new series of articles, on the Transformation of Brittany. Brittany is one of the new faces here on the site, and I will be working with her over the next few months to sculpt her figure in the dream body she hopes to achieve. Keep your eyes open for these, and comment as you see fit!!! I am sure she will be posting here often as well!

I look forward to working with all of you!!

How many days a week should you work out and how many hours a day?

It all depends on the individual and the goals. Beginners should target 3-4 days per week of cardio, 20 mins per. Weights, usually 3-4 days per week, with either a single split or a full body circuit to start with. Quality, not quanitity is the focus. My weight training takes about 45-60 mins per day. More just isnt necessary. Cardio differs by individual and fitness level.

Oh ok! Thank you! :thumbup: I ran in the morning yesterday and worked out a little. I want to work out more! :D

William, will you write in article about her diet? Because I think only these two - exercises and diet - will help. Also especially, for me, tell about pilatess. 20 min. per day is enough? I mean, yes, every day. Or two times per day? Thank you :)

Hi Yana!
The diet article will be coming, and it will include how to do a self evaluation as well. As for pilates, you will need a minimum of 20 mins, and preferrably 30. And, if you can, do it every other day. If you go to twice a day, that will burn more calories, however, based on your figure, you really dont need it.

Congratulations,:muscle: William:)
It's great to have your talent here!:cool:
Whether it be :lips::lips: OR :muscle::muscle:. . ."TRUE BLUE" IS The GENE that fits ALL;)

Thank you, William, I will be looking for your articles with impatience and good luck! :thumbup:

1 gallon of water per day
No sweetened drinks unless sugar free
Tea and coffee are ok

30 mins of cardio minimum 6 days a week. Preferably in the morning before eating.

There will be a more detailed plan when William returns, but for now this is it!

On my profile I have a few of my beginning pictures so if you want check them out!

You want to loose weight? I think you look great now...
Love to Love

well thank you! Not so much as lose weight, just increase my muscle tone.

Hi Brittany, I agree with you that body should always be in muscle tone! :thumbup:

William, again me, I am a first for your consultation. I need to tighten my face muscles... to make face more sculptural... maybe you know some exercises for chin or something else... :)

Hi Yana! Yes it should be, especially for a fitness model.

hello Everyone!! Finally back from a looooong trip!!
Nice to see everyone, and thanks to Britt for posting her info.

By the way Yana, believe it or not, many of the yoga and Tai-Chi work improves facial tone. One of the keys is not to exercise this area, as much as it is to relax it. One you are able to maintain a relaxed face, the rest is water retention. You can tighten the underlying subcutaneous through water manipulation. Things like dandelion root work well.

William thanks! I've heard that lunge is a good exercise for hips and it is very popular in Hollywood. I attach a pic of what I mean :)

Can you write some exercises for home? The most effective ones. Because I know a lot of different exercises for hips and press but which is the best? To reach a good result quickly (1-2 months).

I like to exercise at home and maybe some other people as well, so it will be helpful.

Thanks ahead :thumbup:

Yana,

This is from an earlier post I made, but it is perfect for this question!!


[i]Well, lets see, where to begin. If using no weights, I would look to three exercises, in this order of performance.

Bodyweight lunges. Making sure that you dont let your knee go out past the end of your foot. You can lunge forward and then push back up to an upright position. 10 per leg is a great start, 3- 4 sets each. Work up to 20 per leg. If you need to add weight, hold plastic gallon jugs and add water to them to add weight. You can eventually switch to sand if necessary.

Ply squats - These are done with feet wide and toes pointed out. You simply squat down until your thighs are slightly below parrallel with the floor. Then return to upright. again, same rep and set range as lunges. using the same jugs if the need comes up.

Lastly, I would do step-ups. You can use a chair for this, and basically you just step up one leg at a time, alternating legs. The higher the chair, the greater the load. Same rep and set range as before, as well as the weights.

For the calves, to tone, insure that you hold the contraction at the peak of the exercise for at least a 2 count. [/i]Let me know if this helps!!!
Good luck!
