Stars Have Dreams and Issues Just Like Us!

I was watching Salt & Pepa on Oprah and couldn’t help see how amazing. They looked. They were interviewed afterward and said they were in shock because being on Oprah was one of their dreams.

My agent sent me this photo that showcases Salt & Pepa & Fashion & The Power of Dreams!

Then He reminded me that my Nike Side One Endorsement Deal brought me the same type of leather jacket as a birthday present!! Check it out!  Can you believe a poor little fat girl who knew there was something greater for her would have a custom made symbol just like one of the hottest Hip Hop Female Groups ever!

Kindred Spirits..Even Pepa  Has to Deal With Yo-Yo Dieting

I know that Pepa has struggled with her weight just as I did.  She is on a never ending journey just like us!

Never Trust A Poor Person To Help You Get Rich!

Are you fed up with all the ‘overweight so called experts’ telling you what is not possible when it comes to losing weight and having the body of your dreams?

What about all the overweight experts telling you that you should be happy with your body and love yourself regardless of your size. Or how about them telling you that you should love who you are even if you are hiding under your baggy over-sized clothes and spend the weekend renting sappy movies and eating ice cream and drinking wine.

Personally, I am so tired of all the negative special news reports telling us how dangerous every diet in the world is or how we have to go to some over worked and stressed out physician who is overweight and on drugs just to get through their day just like you.

The majority of the reports fill us with fear, doubt and worry, and they offer NO solutions.  Yet they make sure all of their prime time TV shows have perfectly sculpted actresses who have perfect bodies with no cellulite, dimples or wrinkles.  And to top it all off, they run stories about how the diet industry is a rip off and leave you hanging on a cliff without offering you a rope to pull yourself up with.

AREN’T YOU TIRED OF HEARING THAT TRASH TOO??
NO MORE LIES!!!

It’s not the whole thing, but it is the catalyst to help us understand scientifically how to shed fat fast!

Metabolic Truth

There are great metabolic solutions and truths which I have witnessed with my own eyes and experienced in my own body. You can lose weight, increase your energy and have the body of your dreams.  I am going to share with you real science about your body and the truth about how to really burn fat, reduce cellulite and drop as many pant sizes as you desire.

You don’t have to be a slave any longer to the media of scare tactics.  You have just entered into the possibility and potential zone.  Pull up a chair, take out a highlighter and open yourself up to be informed, educated and transformed.

Are you ready? Let’s do it!

I am so glad you are taking a stand to join me and the hundreds of thousands of others who have used scientific formulas, my digital workouts and eating programs to change their bodies and their lives.

I am not a novice self certified fitness chick who took some great photos and built a web site to sell photos of myself and dole out canned fitness material. I am a living professional testimony and a highly educated person as well. I have been where you are and I have lived to tell you about how I lost over seventy pounds, kicked diabetes, high blood pressure, depression and cellulite out of and off of my body.

I have personally worked with thousands of people over the course of my career in professional athletics, dance/fitness endorsement contracts, in nutrition and health.

Over the years I have been asked a myriad of outrageous questions. There are certain ones that always come up over and over again.  “Have you ever had a personal struggle with yo-yo dieting?”

My answer is “Yes, most of my life, before I discovered a permanent solution to being fit, lean, tight and energy filled”.

How about you?

Have you been on the dieting rollercoaster? Up and down..round and round, only to end up ROUNDER!!

If you are like most of my clients, you have been looking for some definitive answers about what really works and what can you do to finally lose lumpy fat and live in the body you desire.  If you are happy with your body because you think you are going to get another one when you go to heaven, that’s great.  This rant is not for you.  I understand that some people want to pray for a new body while they continue to eat wings (fried chicken skin) dipped in mayonnaise ranch!

I am offering up real information and suggestions to people who are ready for a physical change NOW!

I totally understand all the confusion and uncertainty surrounding losing weight, dieting and nutrition. I know I was confused in college when I was obese, type 2 diabetic, had hypertension and high blood pressure at such a young age. Everyone in school I hung out with were overweight and no one told us we were going to have a life of medical bills, preventable diseases and saggy skin and giant rod map stretch marks.

Diet Diva
I tried every diet on the planet trying to lose weight and get rid of unsightly belly fat.  I suffered from chronic water retention, migraine headaches and I was on the verge of early arthritis.  I lived in a constant state of stress and was diagnosed twice with clinical depression. I was a big hot mess.

It was hard to believe I once was the captain of a dance team, cheerleader and an avid runner.

Before I got obese, I was into performing arts and lived in skimpy performance gear. I was thinner then, but I was not healthy. I was binging and purging and I would go for days without eating anything but apples because someone told me that just eating fruit was a great way to lose weight.  OMG!! I’m surprised I  am still alive.

When I was in high school I would diet all during the school year to fit in my costumes and then I would binge all summer because I had starved myself for nine months. One summer I gained thirty pounds during the summer and in order to get the weight off before dance team practice, I binged on fruit again only this time I decided to add starvation and laxatives and became anorexic.

The concerns I had then are the same now.  I listened to friends instead of finding a healthy role model to help me.   When you are desperate, it’s hard to know who and what to believe.  I know that as a “diet diva” most of my life, I tried it ALL.  Since I was a true experimenter of everything on the market in regards to health, fitness, and diet, I know what is fraudulent, and what is truly real and what really works for us who have struggled!

The strategies, exercises, fitness and health suggestions I give in all of my DVD’S, programs, books and articles have tested true for my readers and clients who follow the directions.

Science and Technology
Science and technology have improved and what we know now about the weight loss industry is vast.  Access to resources for the purpose of improved health has grown tremendously, yet I know that despite the amount of information available, we still want answers that give maximum and permanent results.

In the course of weight loss coaching and fitness training, I have come across many common concerns and I thought I would address them. If at any point in your weight loss and fitness journey, you have questions, feel free to contact me on my website.  The following questions are the most commonly asked and how I addressed them.

I have been on so many diets that I lost count. Here’s one of the most often asked:

Question:
Everyone is trying to convince me to give up and accept the body I have.  They say dieters regain weight because of genes, hormones, and no self-control.  What is your opinion? What should I do?

Answer:
Dieters regain weight because they are not consistent with the right diet and exercise program. Research now shows that your habits, environment and lifestyle are a great indicator of your success or failure when it comes to building the body you love.

One of the ladies I worked during the course of her weight loss journey began to feel afraid of the possibility of reaching her weight loss goal.  I asked her why she was afraid and basically, the fear arose because of the belief that she would regain the weight. I told her she would not regain the weight back if she has successfully incorporated the concept that weight loss is a mind, body, and spirit application.  When your mind is transformed to new thinking, you have experienced the freedom of weight loss and all the benefits, and when you are living your purpose, there is no way you will EVER GO BACK!

Realistically, I think this was a true concern of hers, and one many of us have had at one time or another.  Some times what we are really afraid of the is the “new person” we will become especially when we keep seeing our relatives and thinking we are doomed forever to carrying excessive belly fat or saddle bags on our hips or cellulite on our body lurking out in every crease and crevice.

Change is scary; your non-conscious mind will have you questioning yourself constantly.
Will people still love? Will I still love the same people? Will my friends get jealous? Will they support me or sabotage?  What about my job or career?  Will I be satisfied living where I live?  Those are only a few of the heavy questions that come up to squelch the thin person trying to squeeze their way out of the pounds of covering.  I know. I experienced it.

Even today, as I change, grow, evolve and move forward, people drop off, fall away, run away and even flat out criticize my journey.  It has nothing to do with anyone but me, yet they feel it is their place to “talk” instead of working on themselves.

Become A Winner

You are definitely going to have to change your lifestyle. Does that mean we change everything you eat at once?  Truthfully, for some people, the answer is yes, especially if your health depends on it.  For others, it may be a few simple adjustments.  It’s going to be so much easier when you let me help you.  I want you to have fun adjusting and to laugh and giggle at the crazy comments of others and begin to make this weight loss dream a game.  A game where you win, you get the prize and your become the trophy.

But what about genetics you ask.  

WOOHOO in my programs, genes, hormones, and lack of self-control will not affect your long-term weight loss success and keep you from living in it permanently.

WE DON’T LET FEAR CONTROL US!  WE USE FEAR AS A MOTIVATOR TO DRIVE US!

Take The First Step

Coming up in the next post, I have some great tips that can help you break through weight plateaus and set-points where your scale is stuck! You know,  where you have tried everything to lose weight but it just won’t budge. But first, I have a free gift for you!

This freebie is the WHY you can lose weight fast. It’s the science behind the plan.

If you want to get in better shape faster, then stand up, get off your seat and work on your lower body.

Training your lower body makes your entire body shape up faster. Isn’t that what you want? Faster, quicker fat loss while sculpting and shaping?

If the answer is yes! Then it’s time to Get Your Pump on.

High volume (high reps combined with multiple sets of each exercise) is perfect if you want to lose fat, increase your metabolism and shape up your lower body.

A high volume program works faster and is much more effective in getting cuts without using massive weight.

Use low intensity weights, enough so that you can do 15 to 20 reps easy the first time.

Using volume training you do as many reps as you can, between 15 to 20 reps per set.

Then you do 4 to 5 sets of your chosen exercises.

Move quickly through your routine. Try to work so that you are breathing
at a good pace to pump up the intensity and increase your heart rate.

Try to make it aerobic so that you increase your circulation, increase your stamina and build up more endurance.

Workout sample..

Cover Model Secrets for a Six Pack!Shrink Your Waistline and Get Tight Sexy Abs

Maximum Abs – A Cover Model Secret Weapon for A Six-Pack

As a fitness celebrity who has to be camera ready without a moment’s notice,  I have to say I love my abs.  I am proud of them because they are perfectly balanced for my body!

They are flat, strong, sexy and look fantastic in a bikini.  I NEVER stop doing MY workout and I love the music I use in my workout. I was not always happy with my abs. You should have seen my waistline when I wore a size 16! That’s right.. a round dimply cellulite laden fricking 16~

Along with my balanced fat loss Quick Start Program, (which made me lose over 60 pounds and I still follow today) I researched and found the perfect exercises for shrinking my waistline and giving me the perfect hourglass shape. It’s all in my Maximum Abs DVD that you can download today and start getting your sexy six-pack.

Maximum Ab Training combines the power of bodybuilding, grace and technique of dancers, the strength of an athlete and the stamina of sports.

There is NO One perfect style of movement.  But there are motions that are biomechanically safe and correct and gives YOU maximum results FAST.

What I have done is to take what I consider the best of all worlds and craft a workout and moves that draw elements of each genre of activities. The body is intricately designed ever evolving piece of art, it is a beautiful creation and there are so many wonderful different methods that if combined can make the best body ever! Therefore your workout plan should also involve many different elements form each of the highly respected and challenging fields of movement.

Watching a ballerina in the Nutcracker effortlessly move across a stage is breathtaking as is watching a world-class sprinter fly through the tape at the Olympics.

Growing up I was just as excited to watch an Alvin Ailey Dancer as I was to watch Michael Jordan float toward a basketball hoop. To me they were both beautifully gifted athletes with great strength and a solid core.

Expert Technique is Better Than Wasted Reps

Being a sports professional understanding movement from a trainer’s point of view, I realized Jordan had the same biomechanics the Ailey dancer had.  Both were powerful, strong and the best of the best.

LeBron James A Ballerina?

And being privileged enough to be a professional trainer at the same camp with LeBron James was even more educational.  He is so light on his feet, he is so strong and his abs are powerful.

You Deserve the Best Too!

Can you imagine? I got to dance with an Ailey dancer in Germany and worked with LeBron too?  WOW! How lucky am I and what a blessed career I have.  I totally consider it all a privilege. PLUS to get to work with YOU is even more special. Because YOU are special and deserve the best information just like the professionals to help you reach your goals.

I was a featured speaker and guest for the NBPA rookie training camp. The athleticism and grace was just as remarkable as the dancers in our World Dance Congress Conference in Germany.

Dancers as well as other athletes must keep their entire midsection engaged to perform rigorous moves and execute great balance. The core muscles of the abdominals and upper and lower back, butt, legs and calves have great demands on them during performance. Good balanced training workouts are designed with meets the demands plus develop the perfect shape.

As you sit, look down, how does your abs look, how do they feel? Are they tight and sculpted? Round and soft? Are they sticking out or scooped and hollow?

Tight and Sexy not Skinny and Stringy

10 Jun

Detox Tea

I believe the most important organ in your body to care for is the liver. If you have a toxic liver, you will not burn fat fast. SO here is my favorite Detox Tea for your Liver and Kidneys. They work together in synergy. Peach Detox Tea, Yogi Tea Cleansing Tonic, Certified Organic – 16 Tea Bags to a box. The box sells for about $4.99. You just follow the directions on the box.

Stringy Skinny Celebs…

I have been seeing so many skinny stringy celebs on the tabloid covers and I want to share with you some tips to not let your body get stringy and soft like theirs.
1. You must not skip meals
2. You must eat good quality protein since muscle requires complete protein to build
3. You must stay hydrated
4. You must do some form of weight lifting – prefer light weights plus twice a week you want to go the gym and do a quick
circuit that has these exercises in it. I do every exercise for:

2 sets of 12 repetitions per exercise with weight that gets moderately difficult at the 8th rep

1. Leg Press
2. Leg Extension
3. Leg Abductors
4. Leg Adductor

Lat Pull down
Seated Lat Row

Tricep Pressdown
Bicep Curls

Abdominal Machine 3 sets of 15 Repetitions

TIght and Lean not Skinny and Stringy
If you follow the suggestions above while keeping your cardio going five times per week you will keep your body tight and lean. Those poor skinny celeb party and workaholic girls don’t get to the gym and lift weights on a regular basis. They are dehydrated from partying. Alcohol dehydrates your body. Plus alcohol makes your liver toxic which shuts down your metabolic processes for cleansing and detoxing. They stay up late and do not eat healthy balanced meals on a daily basis. They may be popular here and there on tabloids and in Hollywood, but their bodies are showing their lifestyle and soon if they do not get with the program or get on the program, their internal organs may suffer irreversible damage.

I am not a hater. I don’t hate those hollywood chicks the way the magazines do. It’s their life. They are just living theirs in front of the world. I just can’t believe that the press is so mean to them to sell magazines, yet they give them all types of publicity when they make a movie, release a CD or make a new reality show. They pump them up when they are rising and then drown them when they are sinking!

Do It For Yourself
That’s why YOu can’t live your life for someone else’s approval and acceptance. You should NEVER diet for anyone else. You have to lose weight and get in shape for your own personal reasons. When you are in shape, you feel good, you have energy, you enjoy life and you have more joy to share with others. Others will get a benefit from your new found vitality.

If you lose it for someone else, it will always be conditional to you and that is damaging to your psyche. I will not work with a client unless they want it for themselves. You already have too many demands on us from many different sources and directions. The last thing you need is someone else looking over your shoulder every time you pick up a morsel of food. It’s one thing to have an accountability partner it’s another to have a critical person making a negative comment about your progress or lack thereof.

You can’t please everyone. Most importantly, you shouldn’t even try. DO what you know is right. Take care of yourself and cheer yourself on. Let your bathroom mirror and your new favorite smaller jeans be your cheerleader. Encourage your self, motivate your self. Be the absolute best you can be. Your true friends will be there for you and your user friends will be haters and fade away and try to guilt or talk you out of getting a hot body!

Hey friends, this is tough. I have been in this business enough to know what it takes to succeed and be content with who you are and your body size and shape. You know that deep in your heart there is a desire to live an abundant, joyous exciting and adventurous life. You should. It is your birthright and you can do, be have all that you desire if you are wiling to do whatever it takes. Don’t wait – start today. Do not eat another thing that damages your body. Do not eat another thing that will make your body fat, sick and diseased. Do not engage in conversations that make you feel powerless! it’s better to be silent than feed the negative demons who show up to mess us up!

Reach Higher and Climb Faster!

Love You all!

Victoria
