Simple Steps To Weight Loss
Need to shift the pounds? Here are the smart ways to torch fat:
If you're looking for lasting weight loss, then it's best achieved over a lengthy amount of time. But if a special occasion is calling for some fast fat loss, then make sure you're doing it safely and as effectively as possible with our top tips:
Exercise at low & high intensity
Periods during exercise should be short, keeping your heart rhythm going, so it never slows down neither becomes too fast, upping strength & weight loss. This a reason why ballet based workout became so popular helping to shape your body lines and creating that grace as well feeling of an uplift within. It recruits deep more muscle tissue, boosting the body's metabolism, builds for strength, flexibility as well as posture. So you start to look and feel better almost straight away.
Cut out refined carbs
Carbohydrates and starchy foods that have little to no fibre - such as pasta, rice and potatoes - will do nothing but sabotage your weight loss goals, not to mention your health. They create a massive spike in your blood sugar levels, causing the body to release insulin - a hormone that shuts off fat burn and encourages fat storage.
Get enough sleep
Sleep is important for a number of reasons, but especially when it comes to staying in shape. A lack of it will put your body under serious stress, and unfortunately, the stress hormone cortisol is also bad news for fat loss. It could also be the reason why you find it particularly tough to shift belly fat - it promotes the storage of fat in this pesky area especially.

Embrace Your Inner Ballerina – Ballet Workout For All Women
With devotees like Madonna, Kelly Ripa, and Natalie Portman, it's not surprising ballet workout classes becoming increasingly popular. But it's not just Hollywood hype! Ballet-inspired workouts are a great way to develop lean muscle mass while improving your balance, flexibility, and range of motion.
Should I try it?
That
depends. Are you looking for a fun and unique total-body workout? If so, then
yes! Ballet workouts are suited to all fitness levels and – in spite of what
you might think – no previous dance experience is required. Tutors provide
exercises for everyone to help and get the most out of their workout.
What should I expect?
A
lot of people think you need to be coordinated or that you need to be a dancer,
but you really don't. Go in with an open mind, listen to the instructor, listen
to your body and enjoy yourself.
What's in it for me?
Yes,
if you are keen on having a read carpet ready body like Natalie
Portman and Zooey Deschanel, who are both fans of the ballet based fitness
method. You would be burning anywhere from 400 to 600 calories in an hour-long
class (depending on your weight and height), so you're bound to see changes sooner rather
than later. Long lean muscles, sculpted abs, toned thighs and calves, and
improved posture and flexibility are often reported. And don't forget all of
the other benefits that come with regular exercise: a decrease in stress
levels, better sleep and improved cardiovascular health to help ward off heart
disease and diabetes.
What should I wear?
Wear
comfortable, breathable workout clothing that's easy to move around
in, but not so loose that it's impossible for the tutor to see your form in
class. As for your feet, leave the cutting-edge cross-trainers at home. Soft
ballet shoes are the best option, they can be purchased in all ballet shops.
Alternatively, to begin, simple socks will do the job.
How often should I go?
Regular
ballet workout class, three or four times a week will deliver dramatic results
in the form of a slimmer, more toned physique.
Where can I try it?
We have a range of group& private classes available,
as well as lessons for absolute beginners in various locations. Attendance is
flexible, you are not stuck with specific course, certain start dates, or even week
day. However regular exercise is always advisable to gain maximum benefits.
Start with attending a Taster class and start gaining progressive results
directly.
For those that live further away and are not able to attend our classes in available locations, we created a great resource library with online ballet workout classes, that will be available to enjoy in the very near future.

Speed Up Your Metabolism
The poor metabolism gets blamed for everything these days. Weight gain,
lack of energy, even our day-to-day health. But what actually is it and is
there any truth to the rumours we constantly hear?
The Metabolism is the sum of the physical and chemical processes in an
organism by which its material substance is produced, maintained, and
destroyed, and by which energy is made available. Basically, its the entire
chemical processes going on continuously inside your body to allow life and
normal functioning.
All metabolism processes are controlled by hormones and the nervous system
and influenced by your age, gender, muscle-to-fat ratio, eating, physical
activity and overall lifestyle.
The total amount of calories we spend every day to run all these processes
is called total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), and it’s spent as follows:
• 60-70% just to maintain vital
functions such as breathing, regulating the temperature and the heart beating -
this is the BMR (basal metabolic rate).
• 15-30% to do our daily activities
(working, training, commuting, etc.)
• 10-15% to break down the food and
assimilate it.
Basal metabolic rate, daily activities and food eaten are the key factors that
affect our total daily energy expenditure (daily metabolism).
The primary reason the metabolism slows down as you grow older is because
your hormone levels drop down and you lose muscles.
If you keep up with your training, get good sleep and eat adequate levels
of lean protein, vegetables and fruit, you should prevent hormones from falling
down and muscle mass being lost.
Don't use your age as an excuse - it's not uncommon to see 50-year-old
people being fitter than someone half their age and you can bet their
metabolism is faster as well.
You have full control over your metabolism. There is no proof or scientific
indication to state that we inherit our metabolisms or the speed at which they
work.
Quite simply, you can't blame weight gain or energy loss on the speed of
you metabolism. You control it and can make the difference with a few simple
steps.
Join our Ballet Body Sculpture programs to choose a unique way to
keep your metabolism going, speed it up with some more intense #ballet based workouts,
balance your body with more therapeutic routines, using NLP #exercises, and experience fast results giving you confidence and a great sense of #wellbeing.
