Fat Burning Foods


For your Target Dieting Needs..

i just thought you'd find it interesting.. That so much food that we eat every day is awesome for burning fat. Many people think that you have to down those weight loss drinks, or protein shakes and pills and stuff. 
Though these are awesome help to burning fat and gaining muscle, here are a few options you can explore to find what works best for YOU.

Body Shaping Foods
Fiber-rich Foods (whole grains, fruits, and vegetables) :Fiber helps reduce thigh fat when daily fiver levels average 26 grams. Scientists speculate that ample fiber helps escort excess estrogen from the body. Estrogen is partly responsible for laying down fat on the lower body, particularly in women.

Fish: Omega-2 fats in fish help reduce the size of fat cells in the body.

"Resistant Starches" (beans, legumes, barley, etc.): These special carbohydrates contain a unique type of dietary fiber that resists digestion. By replacing some of the normal starch with resistant starch, you burn up to 25% more fat every day.


Pretty cool hey? Try to use some of these in your regular meals and see what they do to help!
Make Dieting FUN.. Just because you're on a diet doesn't mean you can only eat rabbit food. Try different things to keep your diet interesting.

Zumba Tip.

First off, can I just say how much I just LOVE my class!?
I announced the new diet and work out plan tonight and began weighing and measuring my students for our new goal to LOOSE WEIGHT and LOOSE INCHES and we're all going to do it TOGETHER.

So, I'm now going to start adding work out suggestions for your at home fitness training! If you have any suggestions of what you wanna hear, or learn that I can add to my blog, PLEASE let me know! I wanna help you, help yourself!

Zumba Tip #1
CLEAR YOUR MIND
Beto Perez, the Zumba Papi Himself, says, 'Before you start [your Zumba work out], mentally put aside any concerns, worries or issues. Most people find Zumba to be a stress reliever. Use your workout to relax, clear your mind, and concentrate on your dancing.

That's tonight's tip!


ALSO
DIET TIME
If you're doing the ZUMBA DIET, make sure to start THIS WEEK, by starting a cleanse of the body! These feel AWESOME.
 Strictly GREEN VEGGIES. No starchy Veggies or fruits such as, potatoes, peas, carrots or oranges.
EAT PROTEIN aim for 25-30 grams of protein fer meal and in snacks. Expand your horizons and try different kinds of meat and nuts. 
This cleanse should last 5-7 days. You can do it as long as you want though! that's just up to you!
Contact me for any questions or concerns!

KEEP DANCING!
i love you all!

Time for Results!

It's time we add something new..

We've already experienced and loved the Zumba way of life, and look forward to class every week. But now it's time to add more reason to love my Zumba classes.
I'm now going to be doing personalized diets for loosing weight and gaining muscle and using the ZUMBA DIET that's set up for us by Beto Perez.
This diet is not restricting! It's different and it's effective! 
So, with this diet, I'll be setting up personalized menu's and daily work outs that will get you looking great in a faster, healthier and LASTING way; unlike those quick weight loss scams we're all trying to avoid! 
Here's now it works.
Every week, we'll measure and calculate how much you're loosing and figure out what else we can do to improve according to YOUR body type and health habits.
You'll have weekly assignment's and daily work outs to accomplish as well as comig to Zumba.
You'll be given a weekly menu of things to try and make work for YOU!

This is going to be unlike ANY Zumba class you'll find, because along with being FUN, you'll look better and feel better and get help on how to improve.
i love you! 
Get healthy, and Get HAPPY!
We start a new life THIS WEEK!

What a week

With Zumba kicking off better than hoped, I have been way to busy to blog! I look at peeps like my older sister who manages 2 blogs and I'm just in awe at her dedication. I'm not going to lie. I love reading and following blogs, but I'm terrible at keeping my own up!

So, in Zumba last week we had a ton if people! This business is growing despite my fear with TONS of Zumba competition building up all around me! Just driving down the street, you pass a million signs advertising a new Zumba class and it's scaring me to death! I've been advertising even harder and sending messages and invitations and really committing people to come, and it's paying off! Word of mouth has also been a huge help! Everyone that comes to my class spreads the word about Zumba and more and more are joining and coming and falling in love with Zumba.

Anyway, even though this is supposed to be an all Zumba blog, I just decided today that I'm going to just combine it with a real life blog kinda thing. I want to introduce you to some of my favorite people in my life.
Above is my favorite nefew Calving Alejandro and my puppy Dozer. They're a team now. Calvin's first word wasnt "mom" or "dad" - it was "Du!" (or Dozer). He's just learning how to walk and he turns a year old in a few weeks!
These kids are, my older sister, Angie, her husband D, or David, my baby sister Ami in the brown, and Ali in the white shirt holding baby Cal. David is a pro photographer, so if you ever need wedding pics or anything done, let me know and I'll give you his info! He's amazing!  My hermana Ange, or Chonch, is a florist and makes the prettiest arrangements ever! She and her friends are currently running a flower business, so if you have a wedding coming up, you get a double deal. Ange will do your flowers and Dave can do your pics! (My family's so talented!) Ali it's a left handed math brain. She's really smart and way funny and has the best attitude about everything! she's fun to joke with and knows how to have fun! Ami is the baby. She get everything she wants, and though she can be a poop when it comes to chores, she's fun and she's a loving little girl! She's determined to buy herself a horse soon and she is running her own business to earn money for that goal, selling rocks and feathers. haha
This handsome young man is my little brother Erik. He's a cutie. He can make any bad situation a joke! He's so witty and so quick to snap at you with a joke or a diss! haha! He wants to go into psychology or something like unto it. He's a brilliant boy, a great listener, and a talented musician. :)

 This is my Ami, Mom and me! My mom is hilarious. She's so sarcastic! She's money smart and she's always had my back through every stupid move. She's a great listener and she gives great advice. Though I've had my times that I dont feel like listening or times where I giver her attitude, she's still loving and still supportive of me in everything I do! She's always at my Zumba classes and she's been so good to me and my siblings!
This is my dad and his collection of bibles. He LOVES his scriptures. My dad is the most talented man I know. He's smart, he's cute and bald. He has a testimony of the LDS church and will never deny it. He has a million stories! He know's so so much about everything and he's always around to be a dad. If you ask, I'm bot my parents favorite of course. hahaha ;)

Last! My cute boyfriend, Scott! He's the sweetest boy in the world! He has always been super kind to me and makes me the happiest I've ever been! My family loves him and so do I. He's always around to give a good hug or to talk. He's a great listener! (even when i tell the same story over and over.. which i kind of do .. a lot...) He's FUN! He's a dare devil! Scott loves snowmobiling and he's not afraid to push the limits when it comes to motorsports. Scott is smart! He's a good student, and he's a handiman! He can fix anything!

Anyway, that's my family! It's about time you finally meet all of them! I hope you liked todays blog even though it wasnt all ZUMBA!

Keep dancing!
i love you all!
