Body by Vi - After workout shake!

Really important that you feel the body before and after your workout.

Before a workout you can have a carb shake, just mix your visalus shake mix with fruit juice instead of milk, other milk alternatives. This will give you energy that you need to carry out your workout. 

Make sure you hydrate properly during your workout and drink lots of water, small sips. 

Once your workout is complete, you should have a protein based meal within 30 minutes.  Why 30 minutes, well your muscles that you have been working out need protein to regenerate and guess what, if you don't get protein in your body quickly then your muscles begin to eat themselves, which really does defeat the purpose of you going to the gym and working out in the first place.

Remember muscle burns fat effectively, so if you do not build lean muscle, then your body will find it difficult to burn fat.

Muscle is also heavier, so when you weigh yourself, don't be alarmed if you actually do not see to be losing weight, if you are losing inches, then your programme is working fine, it just means you are gaining lean muscle.

Gaining lean muscle is important as we get older.  When our bodies age, our muscles tend to 'waste' away, and this can again cause man health issues, so ensuring that you tone and build lean muscles is equally as important as losing weight. 

For some great recipes visit www.recipes.vi.com or http://thinkoutsidetheblender.com/ 






Good luck on entering project 10 and wishing you success on the challenge!

Feeding Season Has Arrived!

Lol!
November is that time of year when many festivities are about to being.  SOme of my friends have just celebrated Eid, and Diwali where lots of lovely rich foods are prepared for the celebrations.

Soon we will be coming up to Thanksgiving for those of you in the USA, and then Christmas parties and the big event itself in December.

So, it's right about this time, that I go on a quick diet to lose a few pounds in preparation of gaining them back over the celebration season.

If you keep it simple and watch your portion sizes, go for walks then the pounds will stay off.

Walking in the cold is a great way to lose pounds.  Your body has to burn up more energy to keep you warm, therefore more of your stored body fat is used!

Do I hear light bulbs going on... lol!

Make it fun, join in with the dancing and games, this will get the pounds shifting in a fun way.

Enjoy the partying season and watch our for more on our blog...

5 Reasons You Need to Cross-Train

Maybe you've just started out on your fitness journey, or maybe you've been working out for years. 

You've either just started to figure out what works well for your body, or you're still rocking that tried and true routine that has kept your body fit for some time now. You've gotten into a nice groove with your workouts. 

You get in and you get out quickly, putting in your sweat equity and checking off another task on the old to-do list for the day.


Here's the trouble: You're in a rut. Maybe you don't even know it. Even if you're not mentally tired of the routine you've created, your body is almost certainly physically tired of it. 
You just may have missed the signs: You're not losing weight any more. You're not building muscle mass. You're not improving on your speed or your distance when you work out.

It's time to add some cross-training into your routine. Here's what cross-training can do for you:


Challenge Your Body


When you keep doing the same old exercises day in and day out, your body starts to adapt. Your muscles learn the routine relatively quickly. They stop being challenged by it, and that means that they stop developing.
In order to make your body stronger, more flexible, and better able to endure long periods of hard work, you have to constantly challenge your muscles. Doing different exercises helps to challenge your muscles by subjecting them to different movements or to variations in intensity. 


Works Out New Muscles


It's a no-brainer : Different exercises work out different parts of your body. You can't do bicep curls everyday and then wonder why your hamstrings are weak. Cross-training allows you to work out different muscles so that you can develop your whole body and create muscle balance.
Trying new exercises can help you to work out muscles you didn't even know were there. One reason is that new exercises activate stabilizing muscles, helping you to get a total body workout.


Lowers Risk of Injury


When you strengthen more muscles throughout your body and improve your flexibility through cross-training, you also lower your risk of injury. Your body is used to performing a variety of movements, helping it to adapt to a diverse range of experiences. Cross-training allows your body to become stronger and better capable of handling change -- thereby reducing your risk of injury.


Improves Performance


When your body is stronger and better capable of adapting to new situations, it performs better in a variety of exercises. Cycling improves your endurance for running. Strength training improves your stroke in swimming. Yoga improves your flexibility for cycling. Cross-training has a cyclical nature that helps your body to become stronger, faster, and more efficient no matter the workout you choose.


Breaks Up the Monotony


Let's face it: Working out can be plain out tedious sometimes. It can be hard to face another three miles on the treadmill -- staring ahead at the wall or watching reruns on the TV. Even a heart-pounding zumba class can start to seem old-hat when you know all the steps already. 

Cross-training provides you with a variety of exercises so that you don't become bored with doing the same thing all the time. 

When you aren't excited by exercise, it can make it harder (if not impossible) to get to the gym. Finding ways to make exercise fresh and fun is vital to your long-term fitness success.

Cross-training isn't just for elite athletes. Everyone should incorporate it into their workouts to help keep their body in top shape, reduce the risk of injury, and keep exercise interesting.

*** GUEST POST *** Aerial circus – What’s all the hype about?


Aerial circus is taking the nation by storm at the moment as the latest way to get fit, tone up, and have a really fantastic time while you’re at it! If you’ve been looking to add a little spice to your workout regime but are lacking inspiration. 

The team at Poleista a new aerial circus and pole blog have put together a raft of info to help you decide whether aerial circus might be something that will help you to achieve the results that you’ve been dreaming of.


What are the benefits?

We all lead busy lifestyles, so it’s important that we choose a type of exercise that will reap the rewards. Thankfully, aerial circus really delivers. It provides a full body workout that can improve core strength and flexibility while also burning calories. Aerial circus is a great confidence booster too, and beginners often find that their newfound skills translate into all areas of their lives. Of course, part of this is probably due to their sexy new figures!

So what exactly is aerial circus?

In the most basic of terms, aerial arts involve performing aerobic style moves while suspended in mid-air. Cirque du Soleil are famous for their dazzling aerial circus performances the world over. There are several different types that all involve the use of different apparatus. They’re a true art form that requires grace, skill and dedication, though even the most unfit of beginners are welcome at classes. Even if you doubt your credentials in these areas, a class will soon make you change your mind!


What are the different types of aerial art?
Here, we'll take a look at a few of the various types of aerial art that you can choose from.

Aerial hoop

Aerial hoop is probably the most well-known of all the aerial arts, and involves using a large metal hoop which is suspended from the ceiling. A beginners’ class will cover the basics of getting up and down from the hoop and then how to spin. Once this has been mastered, the class will move onto more advanced manoeuvres involving performance skills and technique. Aerial hoop is also often called lyra or cerceau.

Static trapeze

A suspended metal bar is the equipment of choice for those practising static trapeze. The equipment stays completely still while the artist performs tricks and moves. Beginners will start by learning how to get on and off the trapeze, and then progress to more advanced movements and techniques.


Spanish web

Spanish web involves the artists climbing a rope which they can then use to perform a range of tricks and moves. The apparatus includes a loop at the very top of the rope, which students can use to lock their wrists into to allow a wider range of positions to be achieved. A class will involve learning very basic poses and some climbing techniques.

Aerial tissu

Tissu, also known as silk, is a fabric apparatus that performers use to climb and wrap their bodies around. Beginners will start by learning how to climb the silks and carry out basic poses. Eventually, the moves will require greater strength and skill.
 

How can I get started?

The best way to get started with your chosen aerial art is to sign up for a beginners’ class in your local area. Pick one that is appropriate to your current skill level and just turn up!

What can I expect from my first class?

Aerial arts classes start with a warm-up that incorporates your chosen apparatus to get your body ready for the session. You will then be introduced to some basic moves before slowly moving on to more advanced techniques. Classes tend be very friendly and supportive places, so you’re likely to even make a few new friends while you’re there.

Aerial arts provide a great workout opportunity for anyone who’s looking for something a little bit out of the ordinary. It might just take one class for you to be hooked!
