Secrets That Will Help You Attain the Figure of Your Dreams





New Year brings new years resolutions to achieve something you haven't yet managed or had enough motivation for in the past year. So why not to start now when you are full of energy and positive mind set? If you would like to get your body in shape as soon as possible and enjoy great results for a long time, here are a few important tips.



1. Set your goals correctly



To keep your body in good shape you need to eat less and move more. Even children know that. But there are other techniques that can help you become slimmer.

Losing a certain number of kilograms is a decidedly wrong direction for your great look and heath. Your correct goal should not be to lose weight but to reduce the percentage of fat and increase the percentage of muscle. Proper nutrition and regular exercise will help you achieve this.








2. Keep to the "1/ 1/ 4″ rule



In the most general terms, the ratio of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in the human diet should fit into the "1/ 1/ 4″ formula: 1 g of protein, 1 g of fat, and 4 g of carbohydrates per 1 kg of body weight. This ratio may vary depending on lifestyle and stress. The main thing is to ensure that your body is supplied with the full range of necessary nutrients. So forget about all those mono diets.






3. Dim the lights low at the diner table



Afraid of overeating? Try dimming the lights and turning on soft relaxing music before sitting down at the table. Soft lighting is known to decrease appetite.








4. Take photos in full height of yourself regularly.



If you have seriously decided to reconsider your habits and get a new body in time for the summer season, take pictures of yourself! Do this every week. A recent study has shown that people who adhere to proper nutrition programs and regularly photograph the changes in their bodies usually reach their healthy lifestyle goals. According to scientists, such photographic evidence of how your waist decreases serves as a primary motivator for you not to give up halfway.








5. Take fish oil supplements


Fish oil is very beneficial for the body. A study conducted in Japan has shown that this product not only reduces inflammation and prevents cardiovascular diseases but also acts as a catalyst for the process of the breakdown of fats. When it comes to weight loss, fish oil is particularly effective in combination with exercise. Well, now — shall we give it a try?!







6. Exercise using high intensity workouts regularly!



Most people think that exercising once or twice a week, like going for a run or cycling in the gym will make you slimmer. I'm afraid it will not make much difference for your figure. To make a real change you need to start exercising every day, at least 10-20 min for 30 days to achieve the desired result, then continue on 3 times a week basis to maintain the gains. If you don't have time to go to the classes every day, try online workouts. Remember, it's not about the length of time, but about the intensity and regularity. Studio classes will certainly give you more results from the workout, but at home plus studio exercise combinations every so often will set a new lifestyle for your body.





See you in our classes!

A Few Simple Steps To An Elegant Posture



Your posture is the key to looking and feeling healthy, attractive and young. Whatever your age or physical structure, our modern lifestyle of sitting in cars, behind desks, and on sofas, takes it's toll on our backs, shoulders, bellies and chests, not to mention the legs. Our muscles adopt the laziest way to hold our bodies over time, and without proper exercise, causes us to look tired, out of condition, and certainly not at our best.


Here a few of my tips to bring your posture to a better shape. Try each of the exercises daily, about 15-20 repetitions and you will notice a significant difference in a couple of weeks.



1. Swan port-de-bras



This exercise you can do either sitting or standing. If you are sitting, you will also get a benefit from working your abdominal muscles.



Open your arms to the sides extending them in full length. Lift the arms up dropping your fingers down. Then reach up with with the fingers and push both arms down bending through the your wrists and elbows.









Make sure that your back is held straight and shoulders pushed down, shoulder plates should be tight so your shoulders don't move as you lift your arms up. Apply some resistance as you move your arms to gain better results.




2. Back Twist



Open your arms to the sides extending them in full length. Twist your body and arms to one side without slouching in your back. Come back straight and repeat a twist to your other side. Always reach to your maximum extension and don't lift the shoulders. Concentrate in moving from your waist not from the arms or shoulders.










3. Twist with the legs



If you are doing the above exercise sitting, try also adding the knee. Bend your opposite leg as you twist, slowly drawing the knee close towards the chest, keeping lower back straight.









4. Back Twist with port-de-bras



In the next exercise is important to keep the resistance in your pelvis, especially if you are trying the exercise standing up. Hips should stay still as you will move your upper body and shoulders around. Bring both arms in the rounded position up in front of your head, shoulders should be pushed down and back kept straight. ( 3rd arm position in ballet, in some schools also call it 5th). Twist your shoulders keeping the hips straight and open both arms to the horizontal position, palms are facing down. Bring arms back up to initial position, straighten up and repeat the twist with opening the arms to the other side.










5. Boat



The next exercise is also great if you want to strengthen your back. Laying on the front, keep you legs apart and arms in from of you. Lift your arms and legs at the same time, keeping the legs straight and arms rounded in front of you. Hold the legs up and open the arms to the sides, keep lifting the chest of the ground and bring the arms back in front of you. Lower it down.










Keep practicing and you will notice the results coming quickly. If you would like some guidance, try our online classes:

How Does Ballet Help Develop your Fitness Level?

If you're excited by the prospect of longer, leaner muscles and a more graceful appearance, Ballet Body Sculpture class might have more appeal than the local gym. It takes time to learn ballet's unique vocabulary, master even basic steps and movement combinations, but as you exercise in class, keep your eye on the prize. Over time, ballet would help to develop an elegant posture, flexibility as well as considerably improve your fitness profile, working a deep tissue muscles and bringing a longer term results than regular sport activities.




Understanding Fitness


Ballet training involves, to a greater or lesser degree, all the components of physical fitness - healthy body composition, cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and of motor fitness: power, speed, agility, balance and coordination. Improving your motor fitness with ballet training will enhance your performance on the soccer field, running track, hockey rink and racquetball court.




The Strength Story


Ballet exercises boost strength throughout your body, from the small intrinsic muscles of your feet to the larger muscles of your back, glutes and calves. Classical ballet technique involves rising onto the balls of the feet or toes, turning out the leg at the hip socket and sustaining high leg extensions to the front, side and back. Constant repetition of these exercises builds considerable strength in all areas of your body: abdominal muscles, lower & upper back, arms, hips, upper tights, calfs & feet. Pilates & stretching techniques that we use in Ballet Body Sculpture classes will help to balance the body tone, improving flexibility and developing an effective protection from any injuries.  NLP - neurolinguistic programming will engage your mind, helping to secure long term results.


Getting More Bang


Taking one 60-minute class a week might be great for de-stressing after work, but once-a-week dabbling with degages probably won't bring the hardcore fitness results you want. Improvements in alignment, strength, flexibility and speed take time and consistency. For measurable fitness gains, you'll need to take two or three classes a week over a period of a few months to notice considerable gains. When you're in class, maximize your time there by staying focused and paying close attention to the corrections. Try combining some of our online exercises, practise at home to help boosting your fitness level and speed up your progress. Or, if you are interested in your best progress and want to focus on your personal desires as well as gaining the results considerably faster, enquire to try our the bespoke training developed specially for you - Ballet Body Sculpture private training classes.

3 Reasons Why Everyone Should Try A Ballet Workout



Ballet is a fitness trend you won’t want to miss! Yet many people feel intimidated about trying real ballet. Here are some myths and what you need to know to let your inner ballerina shine.


1. You don’t have to be thin, leggy, flexible, or coordinated to do ballet.

We’ve all seen images of petite dancers performing athletic feats of startling beauty and skill. And who can forget the perfectionism and cutthroat competitiveness that tormented Natalie Portman in Black Swan? It’s no wonder many people feel intimidated about trying a plié!

Whether you’re 20 or 70, ballet is just good fitness.

The simple truth, however, is that ballet is an AMAZING workout that will put you in the best shape of your life. Ballet develops strength, tone, flexibility, balance, and grace — even if you don’t start out with any!

That unmistakably elegant ballet physique — shapely legs, trim waist, toned back and arms — comes from a formula of barre, stretching, and freestanding exercises that make up a typical ballet class. Whether you’re 20 or 70, ballet is just good fitness.

The Key to Weight Loss That Most of Us Overlook


What's the biggest barrier to weight loss? If you cited a lack of exercise or an unhealthy diet, you're not alone. You're also wrong. 

Psychological factors are the key when it comes to dropping pounds. Experts say we've got it all backward and without working out our emotional relationship with food and fitness, we'll never see results.

Most people focus almost entirely on the physical aspects of weight loss, like diet and exercise. But there is an emotional component to food that the vast majority of people simply overlook, and it can quickly sabotage their efforts.





The key is figuring out when we eat to regulate emotions, so we can consciously uncouple from our go-to comfort foods. If we're aware of it or not, we are conditioned to use food not only for nourishment, but for comfort. In order to lose weight and keep it off long term, we need to do more than just think about what we eat; we also need to understand why we're eating.

Keeping a food diary where you also jot down your emotions can help. But you don't even have to be that intense: just focus on the healthy food you actually enjoy and cut down the carbs as well as sugars. 


Also, try Ballet Body Sculpture class that will make your body to change very rapidly, having fun with our unique exercises, so you can forget to focus on your weight but enjoy the tighter shapes, more elegant posture and most importantly gain confidence that will allow you to look great at all times!

3 Ballet Exercises To Help You Shape Up This Autumn



Autumn is here, and ballet can help you stay in shape. If you’re desperate to flaunt your new outfits but you want to trim up, these three exercises will help you reach your goals.

1. Pliés


Got saddlebags? Pliés are a foolproof way to stronger, leaner, butt and legs. Like fancy lunges, they work your gluteals and quadriceps, helping to tighten your thighs and those stubborn areas around your backside. Not a Tchaikovsky fan? Blast some Beyoncé while you tone your tush. Practice 8 sets of 8 in first position, and take it slow. The slower you go, the more you engage and strengthen your muscles. Want more of a challenge? Practice 8 sets of 8, in all positions, first through fifth. The summer sun won’t be the only thing burning!

2. Relevés

If you would like more defined calves, practice heel raises, or relevés. Standing with feet parallel, or in first position, lift your heels off the floor, rise to the balls of your feet, and hold for one count. Lower your heels down to the floor. Again, repeat 8 sets of 8. If your legs start to cramp, shake them out and take a minute to stretch your calves and achilles tendons. Want more of a challenge? Place one foot behind the other in coupé, and rise up on one foot! When practicing relevés, maintain good posture by staying on top of your hips, and keeping your knees straight. This will encourage proper alignment and decrease risk of injury.

3. Port-de-bras


So, you say the only muffin top you want has blueberries? Practice some crunches, ballerina-style: Sit on the floor in straddle. This means your legs are open in the letter V. Lean your body to each side, reaching for your foot. Want more of a challenge? With your hands behind your ears and your elbows outstretched, lower your upper body until your right elbow touches your right knee. Don’t allow your spine to twist and your midsection to fold inward. Activating your core, lift your body upright and repeat to the left. This exercise targets your oblique abdominals, slimming your waistline and helping you firm up. Practice 8 sets of 8.

If used correctly and consistently, ballet technique, in combination with a healthy diet, can help you create a leaner, stronger body.


But most importantly, if you want to see good results, exercise needs to be persistent! 2-3 times a week for about 60-90min or 15-30min daily. 

See you in our studios! Or online! :)




You gain confidence and grow stronger by every experience in which you really push yourself to do something you didn't think you could do. - See you by the barre!www.balletbodysculpture.com

8 HEALTHY SNACKS FOR YOUR HEALTHY DIET

Swap sweets and biscuits for some healthy snacks this summer!





If like us, you tend to suffer from the 3pm energy slump, here are some healthy snack ideas to help satisfy your cravings…


Blueberries
Blueberries have the highest antioxidant capacity of all fresh fruit - making them a great snack to help boost your immune system. Also, their sweet flavour promises to satisfy your sugar cravings.

Seaweed thins
What we love most about seaweed is that it can do wonders for hair and skin, with vitamins, fats and minerals from the sea that can help strengthen, revitalise and moisturise. Dried seaweed thins are a great alternative to crisps and crackers.

Apple slices with peanut butter
The benefits of eating apples are endless – from teeth whitening and immune-system boosting, to aiding digestion and detoxifying your liver. Try cutting one into slices or wedges and spreading on a light layer of organic peanut butter.

Almonds
Almonds not only satisfy hunger but also regulate cholesterol, strengthen bones, improve complexion and contain nutrients that help boost brain power – among many other things. Try roasting a batch with lemon, salt, Worcestershire sauce and honey to give them an extra kick.

Dark chocolate rice cakes
Rice cakes are low in calories, provide an instant energy boost, aid digestion and are an essential source of vitamin B1. Top them with a layer of rich dark chocolate and you've got a tasty and healthy treat. 

Miso soup
Miso soup is a fantastic afternoon snack if you're trying to lose weight – it's filling, comforting and full of beneficial nutrients. 

Raw energy bars
There's a huge range of raw energy bars out there that are perfect for a pre-workout snack, or simply to give you that mid-afternoon boost. We love Bounce Balls (available at Holland & Barrett) in every flavour, and snack bars from Purple Balance (available at purplebalance.co.uk) and Aduna Baobab (available at aduna.com).

Dark chocolate pumpkin seeds
Dark chocolate covered pumpkin seeds may be a fattier snack option, but they're a great source of iron, magnesium and zinc, and are sure to satisfy your cocoa craving.

All those lovely snacks are great energy source to keep you going and achieve great results at Ballet Body Sculpture class!

10 Effective Tips to Keep Weight Off For Good



There's no fad diet or miracle pill that will change your body overnight, but losing weight is within your reach—it just might take a little longer than you'd like. Consider this: when you lose weight at a slow and healthy pace, you'll be more likely to keep it off for good. If you're done with the days of yo-yo dieting, these 10 tips are the emotional stepping stones to a healthier lifestyle.

1. Start small: Chances are, if in the past, you’ve tried to change everything all at once, few of your intentions have stuck for good. The answer to staying committed for the long haul is to start small. Make one positive shift every week, instead of overwhelming yourself with a bunch of changes at once.

2. Find healthy foods you love: It’s true! Healthy food that supports weight loss can also be delicious! If you’ve been on a solid sugar- and salt-laden diet for years, it will take a little getting used to. But sooner than you think, those cravings start to dissipate, and clean, natural foods sound much more palatable.

3. Don’t focus on deprivation: According to celebrity trainer Heidi Powell, anytime you deprive yourself of food, or of anything, “all you want is what you can’t have!” Take your mind-set away from sacrifice and start celebrating the fact that you’re cultivating a healthier, happier, more energized life.

4. Find out what fuels you: Whatever your true motivation is, tap into it, and use it. Is it about fitting into a ton of clothes tucked away in the back of your closet? Is it about being lighter and more active, so you can run around outside with your kids? Getting serious about your long-term goals will keep you committed to your lifestyle change.

5. Learn to love consistency: When you have a regular mealtime schedule and fridge full of fresh produce and healthy staples, making choices that support your goals won’t feel like a constant battle. Remember, this isn’t a quick fix — this is a lifestyle change. After a few weeks, these things will feel like second nature.

6. Seek out exercise you enjoy: Heading to the gym shouldn’t feel like pulling teeth. Keep on trying #new group fitness classes, cardio machines, and different styles of #exercise. When you find that one activity that flies by and feels like fun, you’ll know you’ve met your match.

7. Plan ahead for indulgences whenever possible: Occasionally enjoying a sweet treat or special meal out are essential parts of sustainable weight-loss plan. When you know you’re going to want a burger at your BBQ or an ice cream cone when you’re at the beach next weekend, keep your diet extra clean leading up to your special indulgence. It will make the whole experience that much sweeter.

8. Have compassion for yourself: Sometimes, we’re triggered by foods around us, we haven’t planned ahead, and slipups happen. Instead of being hard on yourself after eating a food that’s “off-limits,” forgive yourself, and move on. When you treat yourself with kindness, you’ll be able to bounce back and stay on track. Let’s skip the downward spiral of a whole day (or week) filled with junk food, shall we?

9. Keep setting new goals: As you’re evolving and progressing on your weight-loss journey, your goals have got to keep up! There’s so much to celebrate beyond that number on the scale, and setting specific and personal minigoals like training for a race (or slipping into that pair of old jeans) will help you stay connected.

10. Picture the new you: If you’ve struggled with your weight for a long time, it can be hard to visualize a new, healthier life. You might not be able to find the words right now, but creating a tangible reminder, like a healthy vision board covered in inspirational images, will help you start to recognize what your dreams look like.

And lastly, always choose #true professionals to help you achieving your goals fast and precise:


Enjoy the weekend! And more great, challenging & fun classes!:www.balletbodysculpture.com

7 Great Ways To Improve Your Self Control






While not unattainable, self-control can sometimes be difficult to achieve, since, just like a #muscle, our willpower can become too strained or too “flimsy” when not trained properly. With that in mind, let's take a close look at some of the most efficient methods to improve self-control.



1. RESPECT THE EGO

We have a limited amount of willpower, and when it's close to depletion, it becomes easier to slip into temptation, forgetting about the things we need to do or achieve. Respecting the ego and realizing when willpower levels are low will help prevent loss of control by maintaining inner balance through rest, entertainment and other activities geared to help you disconnect and feel more empowered.



2. TAKE CARE OF YOUR SLEEP HOURS

Sleep deprivation is a significant problem that needs to be avoided at all costs. While you might believe sleep isn't productive, it actually has a strong impact on the brain, allowing it to reduce stress and operate more efficiently. Moreover, sleep deprivation has been found to reduce glucose levels from the pre-frontal cortex, making it difficult to enact self-control. As a result, any decision can be made more easily after a good night's rest, without the danger of losing your self-control.



3. PRE-COMMITTING TO YOUR GOALS

Pre-committing is one of your most effective tools for improved self-control. By enforcing your decision prior to engaging in an activity that could lead to temptation, you will feel more empowered and focused. As long as you commit to relevant goals that your future self can handle, while keeping a balanced schedule, you will be able to maintain and improve your self-control.



4. MEDITATION & RELAXATION

When self-control levels are low, relaxation is important for replenishing your energy and restoring willpower. Aside from improving attention, memory, sensory response and stress-management abilities, meditation is also known for helping to increase willpower reserves. If you don't like the idea of meditating, a few simple mental and physical relaxation exercises should help you achieve similar results.



5. HAVE POSITIVE REWARDS

Encouragement and positive rewards will often help you stick to your activities and fend off temptation. Instinctively, we always try to achieve what we believe is best for ourselves, so that the perception of a significant future gain – even if self-imposed – can lead to positive results.



6. STICK TO YOUR PLAN THROUGH GRADUAL STEPS

This is one of the most important techniques for improving self-control. While you might have a plan in place, it is crucial to avoid focusing too intensely on the difficulties and challenges of the bigger picture – which could make you end up discouraging yourself due to fear of failure. Breaking down your activities into small, easy to follow steps can help you focus less on the difficulty of achieving the ultimate goal.



7. SEEK ACTIVITIES THAT ENCOURAGE

Choose things that you enjoy but also the ones help you to improve yourself. So you will consistently replenish your willpower reserves and challenge yourself through positive reinforcement.


Although self-control can be difficult to achieve, it's not impossible, see how Ballet Body Sculpture classes can help you to achieve more self-control:

7 Fabulous Post Work Foods Helping Your Lose Weight!

Looking for some good post workout foods for fat loss? If you’re trying to lose weight and fat, it comes down to more than #exercising. Nutritional supplementation, especially after working out, is essential to burning fat and putting on some lean muscle mass. Instead of reaching for an extra-large pizza or giant fudge brownie sundae, remember that working out doesn’t give you license to eat whatever you want. Try these top post workout foods for fat loss that can actually help speed up your metabolism.


1. Eggs



Eggs are by far one of the best post workout foods for fat loss. They’re cheap, readily available, and can be prepared about a million different ways. You can scramble your eggs, poach them, or even fold them into a veggie omelet. Eggs are also packed with loads of protein, which is definitely something you want after a hard session at the gym. If you swear by eating only egg whites, remember that the yolk of the egg contains most of the vitamins, minerals, and protein.


3. Chicken Breast



If you’re trying to lose weight or cut fat, chicken is another lean protein source that should be a staple in your diet. Muscles need protein to fuel your recovery, meaning you’ll get stronger in less time. With 20 grams of protein and practically no fat, chicken breasts are a great post workout food to help you shed excess weight. Like eggs, you can make chicken in a bunch of different ways too. Bake it, braise it, lightly pan fry it in a little coconut oil—the possibilities are endless.


3. Cottage Cheese 





Sometimes, you just don’t feel like cooking after working out. And that’s totally okay! When you’re having a lazy day after working out and just want to hang out, cottage cheese is a great post workout food. A ½ cup serving contains a whopping 13 grams of protein, making it comparable to two eggs. Better yet, cottage cheese doesn’t require any preparation. Just spoon into a dish and eat!



4. Avocados






Who would have thought that fat could #burn fat? When it comes to avocados, this is completely true. We used to think that eating too much fat was the reason for weight gain. But studies actually show that moderate healthy fat consumption can actually boost our body’s ability to burn fat, specifically belly fat! Adding a little avocado to your salad, eggs, or grilled chicken might be just what you need to satisfy your appetite and help you shed fat.



5. Sweet Potatoes 





Most health and fitness gurus shy away from eating loads of carbohydrates. But I think the right combination of protein AND carbs is what actually leads to more fat loss. The key to eating carbs after working out is picking a carb that is loaded with fiber to prevent spikes in blood sugar. Sweet potatoes are a fantastic post workout food. Their high vitamin A content also makes them an excellent part of any healthy diet.



6. Oatmeal 






Sweet potatoes aren’t the only carb that has fiber. Play your cards right and you can find a ton of other healthy carbs to fuel recovery and help nourish your body after working out. If you like to work out in the morning, oatmeal is a fantastic choice. It’s high in fiber and low in refined sugar. Jazz it up with nuts, dried fruit, a drizzle of raw honey, or any other healthy topping that floats your boat.



7. Leafy Greens





Few people talk about eating leafy greens after a #workout. But leafy greens like kale, Swiss chard, and spinach are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to help you recover at a faster pace. Greens aren’t very high in calories, so you’ll most likely need to pair them with some protein for a truly satisfying post workout meal. Otherwise they’re a great post workout food to ease muscle soreness and keep you healthy.

Proper nutrition is one of the most important parts to a consistent exercise regimen, but few people know exactly how to fuel their bodies pre and post workout. What are some of your favorite things to eat after exercising?:)
