To become a truly POWERFUL WOMAN, you have to be FIT in more than just your PHYSICAL body. You need to know how to sit "STILL" and FEEL your EMOTIONS and connect to something GREATER than yourself. When you learn to ACCEPT absolutely EVERYTHING about yourself you realize that happiness doesn't mean being perfect, it just means looking BEYOND your imperfections. You will rejoice in your FEMININE POWER when you CREATE harmony & balance between your mind, feelings, body and in your relationship to yourself, to others and to all of life.

By REAWAKENING the power of your FEMININE ENERGY, you'll enact deep CHANGES that can have a big IMPACT on the rest of your life.

Question #8: I’m trying really hard to exercise a few days a week. Why am I not losing weight?

Loosing weight isn’t easy. Here are some basic steps we all must adhere to when we want to lose fat.

1. Try is a lie. Make the decision. I will lose weight.
2. Schedule your daily exercise. This means six days per week, written down on your calendar.
3. Mix things up. Cardio, resistance and flexibility training are all important components of reshaping your body composition.
4. Write down everything you eat and drink throughout your day.
5. Calories Count! It takes 3,500 calories to lose a pound of fat. A quick walk or moderate jog of 2 miles burns approx 300 calories. Cut 200 calories from your diet (a glass of wine and a slice of bread), and you’ll hid a 500 calorie per day reduction.
6. No excuses! Take responsibility for your success or failure. Own this process. Make time. It’s your life.
7. Get Excited! You can do this!

Question #7 Do Women Get Bulky Lifting Weights?

 

Women do not produce as much testosterone (the hormone responsible for increasing muscle size) as men do, it is impossible for woman to gain huge amounts of muscle mass. Professional female body builders unfortunately use anabolic steroids (synthetic testosterone) along with other drugs in order to achieve that high degree of muscularity. In addition, most also have good genetics that enable them to gain muscle quickly when they spend "hours" the gym lifting very heavy weights. Women who perform weight training without the use of steroids get firm and fit cellulite-free looking bodies. Weight training changes body composition, so that you lose fat, increase muscle and become leaner and lighter. Nothing else puts shape into a body if it is not assisted by the benefits of weight training and cardiovasular exercise. Lifting weights will make the difference by turning your body from the ordinary into the extraordinary!

Question #6: If I exercise can I eat anything I want?

Answer: How I wish this were true! However, this could not be further from the truth. Our individual metabolism determines how many calories we burn at rest and while we exercise. If we eat more calories than we burn on a consistent basis, our bodies will accumulate these extra calories as fat regardless of the amount of exercise that we do. This myth may have been created by people with such high metabolic rates (lucky them) that no matter how much they eat or what they eat, they never meet or exceed the amount of calories that they burn in one day. Therefore, their weight either remains stable or goes down.
