Modalitati Fun de tonifiere a corpului

Pt ca am facut deja un top al vedetelor care ma impresioneaza cu tinuta lor pe plaja, si pt ca toate revistele ne bombardeaza cu poze ale vedetelor in costume de baie, diete care de mai care, m-am gandit sa fac o scurta prezentare a diverselor forme de exercitii fizice care mie personal mi se par practice insa si FUN. Si daca eu am reusit sa iubesc miscarea, sincer oricine poate...
Zumba Dance - Zumba combina energia si muzica ritmata, motivanta, cu miscari unice de dans care faciliteaza invatarea rapida si asigura buna dispozitie. Zumba foloseste o fuziune de dansuri latino si internationale (de la cumbia columbiana la merengue, salsa si calypso, hip hop si reggaeton) creand astfel un antrenament eficient, dinamic si captivant. Programul este conceput ca un mix de aerobic si fitness, cu miscari in ritmuri rapide care tonifica si sculpteaza corpul. (In timisoara la Alana's Fitness se tin cursuri de zumba dance)
In timpul unei sedinte, se ard intre 700 si 1000 de calorii. Partea cardio este una intensa si, in plus, zumba mareste si capacitatile de coordonare si echilibru. De asemenea, duce la imbunatatirea functionarii sistemului cardio-vascular si a capacitatii pulmonare. La Zumba, transpiri, e adevarat, dar razi in timp ce o faci.
Efectele Zumba Fitness asupra corpului se obtin datorita utilizarii unor principii din fitness care determina arderea caloriilor, diminuarea tesutului adipos si tonifierea completa a corpului. Ritmurile latino care asigura fundalul sonor pentru antrenament fac ca miscarile sa nu mai para dificile pentru cursanti, ci sa se transforme intr-o placere. Sau intr-o dependenta de miscare.



Bellydance Fitness - "Dansul din buric" (bellydance) este una dintre cele mai vechi arte orientale. O sedinta zilnica de 30 de minute bellydance fitness este recomandata pentru cele care au o munca sedentara, care stau 8-9 ore pe scaun si isi solicita astfel foarte mult coloana vertebrala.
Exercitiile de gen FITBALL - pe care le putem face acasa sau in cadrul cursurilor speciale de la salile de aerobic (in Timisoara la Alana's Fitness). Fitball este un tip de exercitiu fizic in care rolul principal il are mingea. Lucrezi exclusiv cu o minge speciala, de mai mari dimensiuni, executand numeroase si complexe exercitii, de cele mai multe ori acompaniata de muzica. Insa mare atentie, mingea se alege dupa statura astfel: la 1.50 m: 45 cm; la 1.60 m: 55 cm; pt o inaltime de 1.70m: 65 cm, iar la peste 1.80m: 75cm, si dupa greutate in asa fel incat unghiul lateral dintre picioare si bazin, genunchi si glezna sa fie de 90 de grade. Astfel, exercitiile pentru tonifierea abdomenului efectuate cu ajutorul fitball-ului fac parte din programe de intretinere corporala, de tonifiere si de slabit.
Efectele pozitive ale fitball-ului:
- Tonifiere abdominala
- Tonifiere a muschilor spatelui
- Imbunatatirea echilibrului
- Flexibilitate
- Relaxarea muschilor incordati
- Arderea accelerata a grasimilor

Lady Gaga Sans MAKE-UP

Puţini au văzut-o pe Lady Gaga, de cand s-a lansat in domeniul entertaiment exact asa cum a lăsat-o Mama Natura, pt ca ea îşi păstreaza imaginea si costumatiile extravagante chiar si în timpul liber, incercand sa fie mereu cu masca pusa. Insă recent au apărut pe internet poze cu Lady Gaga la piscină alaturi de nişte prieteni si cel mai recent iubit, unde putem sa o admirăm în "toata splendoarea" ei... Ce părere aveţi?!

Tin sa mentionez ca ordinea este una aleatorie, adica nu o consider pe alessandra ambrosio mai nasoala decat oricare alta... Mi-a placut toate fetele, pt ca se vede ca depun efort sa arate asa, si cu siguranta asculta de sfaturile celor care le consiliaza in acest sens si nu fac parte din categoria faimoasa de la noi de pe hotare, care declara ca manaca de toate la orice ora si nu merg la sala.

Fashion Watch: The Romper

The one-piece fashion statement has gotten a womanly update. Meet the new and improved romper--a one-piece short and top comb that's been all the rage. So i have listed the romper as one of my summer must haves, so here are a few celebs who have been rocking the romper!!










The Right Fit: The right romper fit should not be skin tight.  The short part of the romper looks best when it hangs loose around the thigh area. If you're a woman with hips, avoid rompers with short pockets which have a tendency to make you look wider. Don't choose a romper that falls too short unless your legs are tight and toned (such as the lovely ladies above). The most appropriate romper fit should fall in the half way point between your hip and knee. To accentuate your shape add a belt to the look to help cinch your waist.

Footwear: Wear sandals during the day for a comfy and relaxed romp around the town. At night, dress this look up with a sky-high pair of pumps or booties to elongate your legs.



Accessorize:
 Be as bad and bold as you want to be with your accessories when wearing your romper. Bib necklaces, piled up bangles, oversized earrings, glam cocktail rings and belts all will work in your favor to create a one-of-kind style statement.
