A mirror to watch yourself work out
Burn the fat!
To burn off the excess fat or even small amounts of flab you need to perform cardiovascular exercises five to six days of the week for a 30-minute duration minimum, working at brisk intensity. Pick an exercise of your choice like walking, swimming, cycling, aerobics, or kickboxing (aerobics style). Please note: Dance classes are not equivalent to a workout. You can also do a combination of these to keep your body challenged and prevent boredom. Remember to always start with a 5-6 minute warm-up and finish your session with cooling down for another 5-6 minutes, followed with a few stretches. This is very important for the body, so don't skip it!
Benefits: Fat loss, improved stamina, lowered stress levels, glowing skin, strong lustrous hair and beautiful nails!
Tighten and tone!
While the cardio workouts are burning off the fat layer, exercising with weights will firm up your muscles, giving your body great shape and posture. All these boot camp exercises require no fancy equipment, are easy to do at home and take no more than 20 minutes!
The workout regimen elaborated upon in the following pages is to be performed on alternate days.
