Fine Tune Target Areas in 10 Minutes!
April 12, 1999
Well, spring is finally here and before you know it bathing suit season will arrive. Since most of you receiving the “Tip of the Week” are already doing the T-Tapp workout you’ll be ready. A 10-minute variation of the workout will fine-tune your target areas (i.e.: hips, thighs, tummy and buns).
Do the exercises Hoe Downs and Thread the Needle back to back with the following variations:
Hoe Downs – do first set SLOW aiming waist-high or higher. On side lifts, get knee as far out to side as you can. Then repeat second set at normal speed.
Thread the Needle – do first set SLOW and separate the “U-Swings” from the “Cross Cross Back Lifts”. Really concentrate on form (knee over to the right and left as far as you can). So after you do “U-Swings” on the right, do “U-Swings” on the left, and then do “Cross Cross Back Lifts” right then left. Repeat entire sequence at normal speed and without separating the two movements. Feel the difference!
If you finish faster than 10 minutes, you are not doing it SLOW enough. You can use this variation in addition to your workout or alone on off-days. I would have the models do this variation every day for a week prior to a swimsuit job. If your buns need a “lift”, just add the Bun Blaster exercise right after Thread the Needle. This little 3-movement sequence became know as the “Mini-Max 15” in Europe because it gives maximum results with minimal movement in 15 minutes. Want fast results? Do the “Mini-Max 15” for 7 days in a row… you will see a difference!
Another tip to enhance your body’s ability to maintain weight control and better digestion is to start each day with grapefruit. The fruit, not the juice! Do not use any sugar or artificial sweeteners because they will alter its important enzymes. I peel mine like an orange and eat half of the sections first thing in the morning. Then I eat the remaining in the afternoon usually between 3-4:00pm. Try to have some sections in the refrigerator at all times for “snack attacks”. They are a great way to curb a sweet craving because basic biology teaches when the sour taste buds are stimulated, the sweet are satisfied as well. Furthermore, grapefruits are nutritious, but the main reason I always include them in my eating plan is for their enzymes. They help you digest everything better – including fat. Your body needs enzymes to make sure the nutrients in your food get assimilated/absorbed. Last of all, whenever constipated, eat grapefruit – you’ll get relief naturally. I consider grapefruit as one of my basics for a better body.
Until next week…
