Big Brother Africa Countdown...

Ssoooooooooo,the countdown to Biggie begins. I must say its been a helluva journey doing soul searching and also over-training so that I look good for the cameras. I have cut down on a lot of junk(including tennis biscuits that I love soo)

I must say I miss them so,hopefully will see them after 3 months. So blogafab people,I will be on the show every Monday,Thursday and Friday @ 7:30-8:30. This is the deal: I get into the house,have to wake the people up,but shhh dont tell cos they are not allowed to know that someone is coming in,its meant to be a surprise.I cant disclose what is going to happen as yet,but will keep you posted. So subscribe to the blog and u can get immediate news on what happens,and hopefully clips for what happened in the house.

So I have asked for sponsorships from the biggest brands in the industry. So far Vitamin Water has approved. The big dogs are still in their kennels. But on the real thothough Im a true Nike fan,for years. They have the best dance gear ever,and that is my dream. To be clothed by the best for the hecticness that I represent.

The possibilities are endless,the dance moves are getting over the top,the boep is dissapearing as I embark on a dream come true. I will be blogging on this spot with a link to vitamin water,nike,big brother so do subscribe and post as many comments as you can.

If this is a dream come true for any one, what more can you ask for..

Age and Training

Ever wondered why it took you so long to get the body that you want after you have jumped the bridge?? I mean when you over 30 or even older huh. For mommies its even worse bacause if one doesn't keep a fit lifestyle while pregnant for sure it will take forever to minimize the extra weight. As we get older we get tired fast,we lose patience sitting on the bike for more than 20 mins,our minds always wander to other things to a point where you'll just stop the treadmill,utter "I'm sick of this and head home". Has that never happened to you guys? I have done that a dozen times.



My Richard Branson moment




Memory lane-When I was 23 until 25, I used to train like a mad thing. I would run for hours, sit in the gym like imma sleep there. Thing is I was young enough to do it. I did a few fitness competitions in my early 20's,I would be excited to train for a goal,was soo aware of my body and knew exactly what to do,what to eat and alla that. But now I sometimes feel poofed. Truth is if I wasn't a gym instructor I dont know what will motivate me to go train.

Just so by the way all is not lost-When you jump over the bridge it gets more important to watch what you eat,this is imperative guys. The junk clogs more on older people because of minimal training movement than it does for a 20 year old. Often hear people say I can eat what I like and I will still look the same,please dont get angry at such,check the age first. Worse thing is like I said in the past, you can be as skinny as a needle,but with body fat over 200(lol),and be very scared-I would rather see live fat than hidden fat(A big person knows the need for a workout,while a skinny one will be nonchalant about their gym and eating lifestyle and you will be shocked,you can get a heart attack even when you are skinny.

So whether big or small-train,train,train-eat as healthily as possible. Make a smiley face with your cottage cheese on your rice cakes and your provitas.

PS: I had a guy in my class this morning,1st time in 2 months,the girls were huffing and puffing and complaining about hecticness, they didnt realise that when a dude pitches in your class the calender changes(Tuesday becomes Friday)-(Intensity,weight training,speed cos thats the only way you get a guy to respect you as a chick instructor/Make them remember that its not that farting moment by the weights training section when men fart and scream to carry a 100kgs weight to show off to their friends,sometimes even to us chicks that can only carry 10kg. Mxmm I get soo irritated by that howling,they need a PROP. LOLMENTATION..

The Aftermath-Easter and its behind the scenes

Hey guys,back to fabolousity. Hope yall had a fab Easter. Did yall read the last post. So I am still on leave and only getting back to work tomorrow. Had my fun and fab class this morning at 5H30 am with only 6 people,not sulking though. Took the members by surprise this morning when I asked about what they indulged in during the Easter weekend,and ya well confessions,confessions. 

The one lady told me she had to visit her mom so obviously she couldn't resist the fried whatevers that her mom cooked.Hectic menus from Easter eggs,chocolates,sweets,hot cross buns,the braais you know how Mzanzi people do. So I decide to give a total full out cardio class to try shed plenteous calories. Went well-and ya well with a warning though: cardio, boot camp for the next 4 classes until I see results. Now we all wish we were in this class right. What did you have during the Easter weekend..Don't worry post a comment and I will be glad to take you through what exercises to do during this hectic winter season.

PS: The blog is doing great thanks to the haters. People can just up your readership stats without realising it. Blog fabolous...

Low Fat Easter Eggs

Recipe:

2 eggs
3 different colourants(u pick)
Dairy Milk chocolate
Marshmallows


How to make low fat easter eggs..

Fill the pot with cold water and place the eggs.Bring to boil
Mix your colourants into a jug
Leave the marshmallows and the chocolate wrapped.

                         NOWWWWWWWWWWW,DRUM ROLL

Peel the egg shells and take out the egg yellow. Dont let the shells get into your gel nails they will never get out in between the gel and the nail((hehehehe)
Eat your egg white and throw everything away,(I said everything) you have had your protein for the day and because you are eating these eggs during Easter(they are Easter eggs))))Haebo


Whatttttt???????? You guys are kidding right????

We are in South Africa,I am not sure about the world but tomorrow is a holiday and Monday and 3 days after that cos most people will be on leave. Braais, braais and more braais, pap,pap,pap,gravy,gravy,gravy?????chakalaka phew I almost forgot.Heeeee we don't eat easter eggs a lot but kids do,all over the world as a matter of fact. But whatever you do over this long weekend,indulging or not you will consume more calories than normal.

TIPS:Remember to hit the gym when you get back: Zumba, high impact aerobics class,Taebo,Bootcamp(no weights), spinning no hill. You can never go wrong with these. And always remember that its getting cold so your body takes a while longer to heat up, add more time to your workout or more intensity. So happy Easter bloggers. Dont forget to go to church. Mhwaaaa.

Zumba-A true story

I know my fellow readers from the gym hoped this was going to be my first post,but nah-I actually wanted them to just keep reading to realise there is more to me than zumba. So how did me and zumba meet-2009 when zumba was introduced in South Africa and I was one of the first people who went for the training through Virgin Active. Apparently Virgin Active was the only licenced institution to teach zumba,so I can say I was there when it all began,and i will still be here when the fly by nights have flown away.

Now who are the fly by nights-really,are we asking that question???those that get the certificate even if they can't dance or give a class without knowing what a count of 8 is,or even how to go with the beat,those that think its about showing off how good they are at dancing without caring about their members,zumba is not for people who cant improvise on stage and give the workout a brand which is them,,need I say more.(Zumba wants to make money all across the world and they will not fail you even if you whack,so if you want a qualification that you dont need to be totally legit for, then try get a zumba certificate, its that easy>>>

See Zumba has depth,its has structure and most importantly it zooms with the fitness element and the fun to make it zumba,not domba,not gomba,not ayoba kasi style. Not saying you cant bring your swagg on by localizing,actually that makes you more creative than always copying those dvds and doing exactly what those American chicks do.

Its important to bring your persona and swagg to the floor,but never forget the basics. I have recently moved to JHB and stood in for other instructors at the gym,needless to say it feels like I was under member-jab syndrome cos of the way I teach,I got called names like that crazy chick,or ohh my gosh that new chick is hectic..needless to say after all that the people still liked it and they started following  me around the gyms,this feels good-extremely good but it felt like taking the class to another level is impossible if the person before you is whack,or doesn't know what they are doing.

My motto is-IF YOU DONT SWEAT IN TWO SONGS THEN WALK OUT THAT CLASS,THE INSTUCTOR IS BOGUS.

BENEFITS OF A REAL ZUMBA CLASS:LOOK OUT FOR:

• An unfit person will burn almost a 1000 calories in a well structured class.(YEP did you get that)grab your heart rate monitors/fitness watches>
• A fit person about 500-600 calories.
• If a person is not swagg lookable(shady wobblies,3 sizes more than you)how do you think they can make you drop a dress size or 2 if they still trying to drop 10 dress sizes.RUN A MILE.
• If they always dress in zumba clothes,they trying too hard so use discretion.(show offs trying to cover their 2 left feet,dressing the part,and acting is a different dance movie version(KWAITO,SOKKIE,MAYOBA(AYOBA STYLE),2 STEP e.t.c.
• Dance is a new trend for keeping fit and looking good,if you dont do it daily then at least do 2 classes a week. It will really help you.
• Fun,laughter and a peanut butter smoothie after class if you in my class..(LOL)

Cellulite is everywhere,dont be fooled..its gonna catch you.

Picture perfect celebrities are non-existent,photoshopped celebrities and models are all up in your grill..nature calls and it hits first on the thighs then other parts of the body,no amount of laser can uncelllulite you,its just a fact..LOL

Do you have litlle fat trapped at the back of your thighs as well as your arms and some sitting right on your tummy. Schooling time,this is cellulite and please chicks dont fool yourself and think some cream will sort this out for you. You need to train, not just any training:muscle training,so all those aerobics chicks that can kick their legs very high in a katabox class,when you done the cellulite will still be there.

Let me just give you some 411:
90% of women will have cellulite at some point in their lives oh even men. If you are proud of it then walk on,like a lady I saw on Sunday wearing shorts and her thighs having a jol being exposed to the sun like that cos according to me if you can do something about it then do it,if you dont care and you confortable keep walking your shorts before the shorts walk you. Skinny people also have cellulite and worse body fat as huge as a mountain and they dont even realise it.

Tip of the day: Doing cardio to delete and backspace cellulite will take too long as compared to muscle building or toning. Toning your body using weights will delete(LOL) take out your cellulite completely in a short space of time than cardio. If you hate weights a cardio workout that works well with cellulite is spinning so chickas hit the gym and go straight to a spinning class.

Pssst: I went to measure my body mass and blood pressure and body fat yesterday and I got a shocker,I will post my new results in 3 weeks after I have gotten rid of my thigh wobblies. So enjoy ladies attack that cellulite before it attacks you. Its doable.
