09/12/2017

In today’s episode we are thrilled to be taking to two of our favorite fitness experts, Sexy Fit Vegan Ella Magers and Fit2Love’s JJ Flizanes. Listen now!

Voted one of the 50 hottest trainers of American by Shape Magazine, and motivated by her love of animals to make a positive difference in the world, Ella Magers is dedicated to helping people reach their health goals. You might have heard that crunches and sit ups are the best thing for your abs, but these are only a small part of the equation. In fact, in some cases, those exercises might even be damaging your spine. Ella says, the secret to sexy abs is truly all about strengthening your core, cleaning up your diet and filling your plate with nutrient dense plant foods. You don’t need to give up your social life to get abs, you can do it with a balanced lifestyle; you simply need to find what works for you.

Many factors affect our fitness and weight-loss efforts. JJ Flizanes is back on the show to debunk some of the myths surrounding exercise. One myth everyone seems to agree on is that if you simply move or exercise more, you’ll lose weight. But the truth is without a defined strategy and specific goals in mind, the results won’t be all that impressive. You need to challenge your body each time you exercise. What you eat will also affect how your body uses and burns fat. Not all calories are equal, and your body will react to an empty calorie completely differently to a calorie from whole plant food. Listen now.

 

And beyond diet, your Astrological sign could also affect your fitness—if you’re a water sign and wondering why you’ve always struggled to follow programs that are too structured, it could be because of your creative energy. If you’re an Earth sign you do well with routines, and if you’re a Fire sign you really need to move your body and release that fiery energy.
