Motivational Monday - Nutrition Cont.

Nutrition is essential for good health. Those that recognise & understand the importance of nutrition will excel at their exercise regimes as the two components go hand in hand.
 

©      You need to ensure that you start your day with a healthy breakfast; it is the most important meal of the day. It strengthens the brain, helps establish healthy eating habits & it improves our mood & behaviour. 

 

©      Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. Include plenty of high quality proteins, complex carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, vitamins & minerals (follow a healthy & balanced diet). A balanced diet is usually expressed in one of two ways: as a ratio of the carbohydrate, protein, & fat food groups, or as a food pyramid, where the recommended daily consumption of different kinds of food within the three food groups is defined by portions or quantities.

 

 

Getting the right amount of energy to stay healthy & to perform well is KEY. Consuming too much energy increases body fat; too little, & performance falls, injuries are more likely to occur, & illness results. 

©      Control your meal portions. To ensure the correct portion sizes you can use a food scale. 

©      Make sure you drink at least 3 liters of water throughout the day. When your body is properly hydrated, you will look & feel better. Adequate water rewards you with enhanced health, increased energy, bright, clear eyes & a radiant complexion. Water carries nutrients to every cell in your body, it flushes out toxins, it improves circulation & blood flow & it lubricates your joints. Make water a habit & a priority in your life.

 

Small daily improvements are the key to staggering long-term results.

Next week I will be talking about the importance of exercise & the benefits thereof.

 

Have a GORGEOUS week Ladies!

High neck bikinis

 

 

 

High neck bikinis are very big this season and we cant say we like them very much!

For us, bikinis need to be gorgeous as well as functional. All we're picturing is that horrendous tan you will get when wearing one of these styles. Definite no no.

What do you think? Would you wear this style?

Blink Mints

 

We are very excited to announce that we have partnered up with Blink Mints which are these amazing little taste explosions that come in these super cool little tins.

 

Everyone who orders bikinis through our website will receive one of these great mints with their order.

And best of all is that they are sugarfree so you don't have to feel guilty eat them and then getting into that bikini :)
 

Try them out and Blink Mints would love to hear your feedback.

Motivational Monday

With summer just around the corner, you may be wondering what you can do to start getting your body ready for that Roxstar beach bikini.

Well ladies, I think it’s time to make a few lifestyle changes, to a well deserved & FABULOUS new you! In doing so, you do not only get that GORGEOUS beach body that you have always been dreaming about but you will also get to enjoy the benefits of being healthier.

Let’s get right to it…

For starters, NUTRITION is ESSENTIAL for good health, so here are 4 very important steps to take note of:

 

©     You need to ensure that you start your day with a healthy breakfast; it is the most important meal of the day.

©       Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day.

©       Control your meal portions. To ensure the correct portion sizes you can use a food scale.

©      Make sure you drink at least 3 liters of water throughout the day.

 

The first thing I always advise my clients on is to start a FOOD DIARY & to WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING.  

Food diaries help you become more aware of your eating & activity habits & problem areas. They give you a basis from which to plan changes & set goals, & allow you to look back & see what you have changed over time. This can be very motivating. A food & activity diary will also encourage you to make conscious choices about what you eat & do, writing it down gives you the chance to think twice before you act.

This is one of the most useful things you can do to help you gain control of your weight. Write down everything you eat & drink over the day. It’s hard to remember what you have eaten at the end of the day, so try to record things as you go. It can also help to make a note of any thoughts or feelings linked to eating. Writing down everything you eat & drink can be difficult. The more honest you are, the more it will help you.

It can take a little while to get used to & sometimes it may seem like a waste of time, but it’s worth the effort.

 

 

Next week I will be talking about the importance of a nutritious diet & the benefits thereof, as this is the KEY to creating & maintaining a body that your best critics would kill for.

 

Have a GORGEOUS week Ladies!

 How fabulous would it be to start Summer looking as slim and trim and toned as the stunning lady above? Well we most certainly would kill to look like her!

 

We have been trying to motivate you lovely ladies into getting into shape for Summer but atlas we are only novices in this field and don't think we are doing a very good job at that. So we have enlisted some help from someone who CLEARLY knows what she is doing. We introduce to you the amazing Angie Snyman featured on the above Fitness magazine cover.

 

Angie is going to be sharing her tips and tricks of the trade to ensure we are all looking beach ready in no time. Angie will take over our 'Motivational Monday' posts so be sure to follow closely.

 

We caught up with Angie to find out a little more about her and how she became so passionate about fitness.  

 

 

Tell us a little bit about yourself, your background and how you got into fitness?

I was born in Pietermaritzburg, I grew up in Durban & for the past 4 years I have been living in Richards Bay (moving back to Durban again soon). I have always been a very active individual who loves stepping out of my comfort zone. I needed a change of scenery though & therefore decided to start competing. It is one of the most challenging things I ever done as it takes 100% heart, dedication & discipline. I absolutely love it though. I have such a passion for health & fitness.

 

What motivated you to start training?

I wanted to try something new, I have always been very skinny (I use to weigh a whole 10KG's lighter then I do now). So ultimately I wanted to get into shape & start focusing more on my health.

 

How often do you train and where?

6 times a week at Virgin Active.

What sort of exercises do you do?

I do weight training, which consists of high repititions.

How long have you been competing for?  

1 year, I competed at my very first competition in August 2012.

We see you were recently on the cover of Fitness magazine, WOW! What did you enjoy most about the shoot?

ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, having my hair & make-up done,& dressing up into the most gorgeous Brasilfit active wear, it was a great morning, filled with fun & Laughter.

What did it mean to you being on the cover of a magazine like Fitness?

It has always been a dream & it honestly still feels Like one...one of my personal goals are to inspire as many women (of all ages) as possible& in becoming the Fitness Magazine Cover Girl I hope to have shown each& everyone that DREAMS DO COME TRUE...it does not matter where you come from...you have what it takes, you just need to work towards your goals...! I hope to inspire many more along the way.

If you had to give ladies one tip on getting bikini ready what would it be?

Put your health first, it's all about making a LIFESTYLE change, in doing so you do not only get that gorgeous beach body but you also enjoy the benefits of being healthier. Get out more, have fun, be active & Live Life...!
