FITNESS (MODELING) TIPS THAT WORK!

When I have a modeling photo shoot coming up this is what I do to cut my body fat down to achieve me ripped physique.

·         CARDIO:  Do an hour of cardio each morning with HITT for the first 20 to 30 minutes.

CARDIO AM: 60 minutes cardio 10 at a pace of 3.2 to 3.5, also do intervals with running and walking.

CARDIO PM: 35 minutes of stair stepper set at a 6 to 7.

·         WATER INTAKE:  

      Water increases the metabolism and removes toxins from the body. Increase water intake up to 2 gallons daily until Friday at 3:00 pm. After that the remainder of Friday and Saturday just sip water to quench your thirst.

Your body will continue to releasing water because it is used to the highly supply which you have been drinking throughout the week. Drink about ½ gallon on Friday and Saturday – do not cut water out completely!  Water under the skin will be drawn into muscle cells creating a tighter drier look.

·         SEA SALT:  Use sea salt (sparingly) to every meal up until the Wednesday evening the week of your photo shoot then stop adding salt to your food on Thursday and Friday.  No sodium Thur/Fri, keep water intake high up 2 gals until Friday at 6pm, then cut to a small amount. 

·         CUT FIBROUS VEGGIES:  Cut out all fibrous vegetables Thursday and Friday because they can cause bloating.

·         FAT:  Only use Fish oil, Omega's & CLA for fat.

·         SLEEP:  Sleep is imperative for weight loss and it keeps our mind and emotions in check as well.  So get to bed by 10:30 pm each evening.
