The Art of Sculpting Your BODY!

 WHEN I WAS STRUGGLING MYSELF TO LOOSE WEIGHT AND GET IN SHAPE, I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS ME.

Its just my body type, and I will never look athletic, lean and have great abs. After all, it was easier to accept that change is unnecessary, than it is to work hard and defy all mental blocks.

I laugh at myself now reflecting on those years. As I started my fitness journey, I realized how much science and creativity play equal parts in sculpting and molding your body. Yes, I said sculpting your body. You see, your body is like a mould. What you really need to figure out is, what your mould is made of. Then you need to envision your painting and apply the appropriate steps to create your artistry.

In my case, I was fairly proportioned all over, except with my arms being on the heavier side. Whatever I’d do, I felt my arms just kept getting bigger. It is, or was my weak spot. With time, I learned that I too can have great toned arms as those women in fitness magazines…

 I JUST HAD TO TRAIN THEM, AND TRAIN THEM HARD I DID. & WITH TIME, THEY BECAME MY GREATEST ASSETS.

Many women I encounter complain about their thighs and/or abs. I always tell my clients that what you perceive to be your weakest area can surely become your greatest asset. You see, the more energy you put into something, the more you transform and change it. All you need is the right framework to get you from the first step to the last.

For myself, I realized with time, I needed to work out my arms twice a week. Knowing that the minute I indulge in too many calories will go soaring to my arms, keeps me in check.

Here is a Sample my workout for Arms:

Note: Always warm-up. Please gage the weights for your own fitness level. I had to work up to the weights I use to get stronger, so make sure you increase your weights by 10% every week.
