“I am in pretty good shape, but I still have about 8 lbs of fat that
just won’t come off - especially around the waist, unattractive
back-fat and thighs. I do an intense cardio work-out 3 times a week
(usually 40 minutes of swimming, biking or running) and do a weight
workout 2ce a week.

I don’t have that much time to work out, so I was wondering what the
single best thing I can do to get rid of that fat. Is it increasing
the intensity of the cardio, length of it or adding more workouts to
the week? I want my flat bikini tummy back for the summer! Love your
blog and would really like to pick your brain on this one!”

Great question Stefanie.
.

What can you do to get rid of stubborn fat or those last few pounds?

This is often the most frustrating thing for active and fit people, those last few pounds that just won’t come off!!!

I have to say Stefanie, I have struggled with this myself in the past, namely when I was getting ready for competition last year. I myself have had stubborn fat deposits on my upper thighs in the back making my buttocks look saggy. As well I suffered from cellulite in these areas.

I tried everything from changing my workout routine to increasing cardio to using “fat burners” and none of them seemed to work.
.

The absolute best solution I have found…

By far, the absolute best solution that I have found to help shed those stubborn fat deposits is the Isagenix Cleansing Program. I know I have mentioned this program on my blog before, but I am absolutely in love with it and amazed at the profound effects it has had on myself and my clients. It really does work!
.

How do toxins make me fat?

You see our bodies store toxins in our fat as one of the ways that the liver deals with too many toxins in our system. Many people have mentioned to me that they eat well and don’t see how they could have toxins. The reality is that toxins are everywhere. Take the Rapid Toxin Test on my fiance’s blog to see if you’re toxic as he wrote a great post about toxins.

Because our bodies store these toxins in fat it is sometimes hard to shed those last few pounds because we’re using them as protection from the toxins in our systems. By cleansing these toxins it facilitates the loss of that stubborn fat.

Coupled with it’s effectiveness at replacing the nutrients that we are missing from the average diet it makes for an awesome nutritional program.

If you really want to shed those last few pounds I highly recommend the 9 Day Isagenix Program. AND … if you buy it from my link I will give you 4 awesome bonuses for ordering.

NOTE: You’re probably thinking that I just want you to buy the program so that I can make money off of it. I’ll be totally honest with you, I do make money, A WHOLE 10 DOLLARS from every 9 day program sold wholesale. oooooh. I really do believe in this product, I’m NOT just in it for the money

Is It Possible To Combine Both Brains And Braun?

If anyone was able to tune in to CBC’c “Test the Nation” IQ test last night you might find the answer rather intriguing.

.

What Is “Test The Nation”?

Test the Nation is a nationwide (Canada) IQ test that was broadcast live in a gameshow style last night and I was on it!

The show brought together teams from 6 different walks of life or professions to see who was the smartest. The teams were Fitness Instructors, Millionaires, Radio DJ’s, Surgeons, Mayors and Tatoo Artists.

60 Questions were asked of the teams in an IQ test format while individuals could also participate at home. At the end the results were tabulated and we all found out who was the smartest group in the room.
.

So, How Smart ARE Fitness Buffs?

Well, it must be the increased blood flow to our brains but we placed a close 3rd, right behind millionaires and surgeons. Pretty good, eh? I mean, I always knew we were pretty clever, but this just confirms it.

Keep posted on all the intelligent things I have to say by subscribing to my blog posts at the top of the page.

What are the affects of this toxicity in people in North America?

Among many health risks, obesity and being overweight is one of them.

Our bodies tend to accumulate and hold on to a lot of toxins in our system. Our body simply cannot get rid of all of the crap that we are putting into it. As a result our body tends to store these excess toxins in our fat cells.

Because our body locks away these toxins in our fat it is most effective to flush them out before we embark on a weight loss program. If our fat is serving a purpose by holding these toxins our body will be very hesitant to release that fat.

Maralyn starts all of her client programs with a cleanse. She explains that it greatly improves their weight loss success and helps to get them focused on eating healthy and feeling great about themselves and their bodies.

How will a cleanse help me lose weight?

Cleanses work by saturating our bodies with nutrients and water encouraging the release of the toxic substances we are holding on to and the fat that it is attached to. It also helps to curb cravings, increase energy, increase mental clarity and decrease stress.

But cleansing seems like so much work

There are cleanses available that do not require all of the effort and preparation that a whole food cleanse does and Isagenix is one of them. I am enrolled in the 9 day weight loss detox from Isagenix and am really looking forward to seeing the results come in.

Now, I don’t have a tonne of weigh to lose, but in prepping for a competition it’s those last few pounds that are the hardest to get rid of. And they are most likely sticking around because of toxins.

This cleanse is a simple, straightforward and affordable approach to a weight loss detox. All of the shakes, snacks and cleansing products come prepared for you. The only thing you have to do is add water. This can easily and effectively be integrated into any person’s lifestyle. That’s what I like about it.

Okay guys, this one is for you.

Slightly off topic from “personal training”, but it may get all of us some more fitness in the bedroom. Besides I think this one is really important for all of my ladies out there who work hard getting fit and sexy for their husbands and boyfriends to get a little RROI (romance return on investment).

Sad, But True Story

Last night, on Valentine’s Day, my fiance took me out for a romantic dinner at my favorite Italian restaurant here in Toronto “Grazie“, the best fresh made pasta and sauces… great service also.

Seated at the table next to us was an attractive young woman (”poor girl”), her parents and “him” . My heart goes out to this “poor girl” because so many women have to deal with the lack of romance that I am about to describe.

At one point during their meal this guy got up from the table and said “I’m going to the bathroom. ”

About 5 minutes or so later he returns with a card that he had just gone to pick up at the drugstore down the road. He tosses it on the table and says, “Here you go, Happy Valentine’s Day.” He then proceeds to yank the card back and fill it out right in front of her.

Disgusting!!!

I could not believe this guy. How can he possibly think that this is romantic or even okay! I wanted to scream at her “GET OUT!”

What Goes Through Your Heads?

Now I know that all guys are not as bad as this jack-a**, but most can use a bit of a brush up on their romantic techniques (I even sent some tips to my fiance and he’s a charmer).

Some advice from a hopeless romantic that knows what women want.

Be

You need to be sweet and sensitive with your lady to make her feel appreciated, loved and sexy. But since most guys don’t know what “sweet and sensitive” means to us ladies…

Here Are My Top 5 Simple Romantic Gestures

1. While she is taking a shower, throw her towel in the dryer. When she is finished be ready to wrap her in the cozy warm towel and help her to dry off.
2. Buy a box of chocolates and very carefully open one side of the plastic wrap so that you can gently slide the box out. Open the box and put a love note inside. Then slide the box back into it’s plastic wrap and reseal it.
3. Speak to your partner’s family and find out what her favorite book was when she was a little girl. Buy a copy of the book and read it to her in bed.
4. When your partner is sick at home, take a day off to look after her. Rent some videos, make her some soup, wrap her in a blanket and just be with her. Come on guys, you love it when we take care of you so return the favor!
5. Give your partner a magic gift box. Every month place a new small gift in the box for her to discover.

I promise you that your woman will love and appreciate all of these gestures.
