A lot of times, people have already answered their own problems when they are looking for help. A lot of them would say, “I am jogging everyday for 30 minutes, I am eating about 1500 calories per day. Why can’t I lose anymore weight?” Do you know what they are saying? They are doing the same things over and over again. When you repeat everything the same way, then you will see the same results.

How to lose weight faster naturally:

A simple solution to that is to increase the intensity of cardio. If you are jogging, then try doing it faster the next time you go. Try to go further within the same amount of time. The higher the intensity, then the more calories you will burn, and that will also speed up your metabolism.

When you speed up your metabolism, you will burn a lot more calories throughout the day. After you get comfortable with jogging, then you will start running. Never get comfortable with cardio otherwise you will hit a plateau of not seeing results. Always increase the intensity to make things more difficult.

Finally, you get to the point when you will sprint. When you sprint, you would do it by intervals. That means you sprint as fast as you can for a good few seconds, then you will do a slow jog to recover. Then you rinse and repeat for a few more sets. Sprinting is the best way to speed up your metabolism. Just look at the physique on Olympic sprinters. Sprinting is one of the best ways to get rid of the last few pounds of stubborn fat.

Workout: Reconnect With Your Body

February 18, 2015February 18, 2015 doakouBody, Reconnect, With, workout, YourLeave a comment

Instructor: Sarah Leversee, of Louisville, the artistic director of Boulder-based Art as Action, a nonprofit that aims to use art for social change and to unite and inspire the community. Reconnect With Your Body is one of the programs through Art as Action.

Leversee has been a dancer all her life, and she minored in dance at the University of Colorado. She was a professional dancer in Seattle and taught dance at a community college and through the city of Boulder’s parks and rec department. Then she got injured — about the same time that her uncle was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

“I was told my career was over,” she says.

Instead, she and her uncle both began rediscovering their bodies. She was trained to teach dancers with Parkinson’s in 2011.

What is the workout?Reconnect With Your Body brings dance to people with Parkinson’s. The goal is to have fun, teach participants to listen to their bodies, discover new things about their movement and also get some exercise in an environment where other people understand what they’re going through, says Leversee.

The class is creative but also more technical than something such as Zumba. Leversee teaches basic choreography to songs, using a variety of dance styles (jazz, modern, hip-hop, contemporary, ballet), as well as stretching and strengthening moves.

My class started seated in chairs. Leversee guided us through a meditation and checking in with our bodies, a slow easing in. Then we stretched slowly to music in the chairs. We then stood up and danced in a circle and across the floor. Class ended with a thorough cool-down.

What’s different? Some participants do yoga, Tai Chi and other classes, but dance is different, Leversee says.

“You kind of forget all of the things you can’t do. You can get lost in the music. It can be what motivates you to move,” says Leversee. “For a lot of people with Parkinson’s, starting to move can be really hard. They can get frozen. But when you’re dancing, you hear the music and you can move. It taps into a different part of their brain.”

Students told me they learn new things that their bodies can do every class, which is liberating and exciting.

“It’s about creativity, joy and community, so it has a different layer of meaning,” Leversee says.

Classes repeat some familiar routines but also always mix it up and offer different moves.

Cost: $12 for a drop-in. First five classes are $25. You can get other punch passes to reduce the price.

Level: All levels. No dance background needed. None of the people in my class had ever danced before. About two-thirds of the participants have Parkinson’s. Other people just come to dance.

“It’s also powerful for people who are aging, in their 40s through 60s, and their body is changing. The challenge is to stay open to what’s possible,” Leversee says.

Class also is beneficial to people with multiple sclerosis, Leversee says.

My class had both men and women of a variety of ages. I took the class (and don’t have Parkinson’s) and got my heart rate up, felt dramatically more mobile and flexible after class (especially in my shoulders and joints) and had a lot of fun.

Participants come from Boulder County to Lakewood to Arvada.

I found the class a four on a 10-point scale of intensity. Some of the faster classes reached closer to a five.

Leversee says she aims to open a lower-intensity dance class in Boulder later this year.

When: 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.

What to prepare:A water bottle and open mind, Leversee says.

Muscles worked: Full body and cardio. Class can be adjusted to accommodate the participants’ needs.

“It’s really not about therapy. It’s just about experiencing the joy of dance and coming together as a group,” Leversee says. “And all of those benefits people with Parkinson’s get from dance, anybody could get from dance.”

What I loved: This is far from a typical easy-moving class you might see at the senior center. The music was diverse and cool (The Black Keys, Florence and the Machine) and the choreography was exciting and very well done.

But best of all, I loved seeing the change in energy and excitement. At first, many of the participants moved slowly. By the end, one woman said she was feeling so good she skipped out of class. And you know what? Parkinson’s or not, I felt like skipping out, too.

I have no doubt if I returned to this class, the participants would overwhelmingly and probably literally embrace me.

What I didn’t like: Leversee says she offers this class in Arvada so it can accommodate people from across the metro area, but I wish there were a class in Boulder County. Although it was only a few minutes south of Broomfield, the nonprofit is based in Boulder and the classes would be more convenient for local residents if it were in town. (Do I sound like a typical Boulder resident stuck in “the bubble” or what?)

How I felt after the class:Joyful and mobile. My spine and joints felt warm. I never felt sore.

Fit And fabulous

February 17, 2015February 17, 2015 doakouamateur, benefits, home, rountines, workout3 Comments

BEING fit is a lot more than just losing weight because truth to be told, the numbers on the weighing scale is meaningless in terms of telling how fat you actually are.

Two years ago, Nana Al Haleq weighed 44kg but with a body fat percentage of 20%. Yet, she was slim and slender, skinny even. But it wasn’t her ideal figure. Then, after just two months of intense training and a strict diet regimen, her body fat percentage dropped 5% but the weighing scale beeped 53kg. The numbers went up but Nana had never looked fitter and toner; her glutes went from 32-inch to a voluptuous 36-inch.

The change reared Nana full on onto a new career path. She dropped her role as a media practitioner and started training full time as a fitness model, sharing her workout routines with her fans and followers through social media. Today, she carries a personal record of five reps of 100kg squat and 90-100kg dead lifts.

The 28-year-old today is also working on a range of workout accessories to make training at home or on-the-go easier for women that will likely be launched by middle of the year. Nana, who is also a PharmaFreak athlete, BeFit Malaysia athlete, Australian Strength Performance athlete, Under Armour MY athlete and Fit Malaysia ambassador, will also be galvanising a community through her website which she intends to put up and running this year as well.

But what does a fitness model do? Fitness models basically just need to look good and lean.

Fitness modelling comes in three categories – Olympia, Bikini, and Physique. I’m between Bikini and Physique. If I want to compete in the Physique category, I would need to put on more mass and more definition on my back. But if I were to join the Bikini division, I need tighter and softer abs. The six pack nugget abs are for Olympia and Physique.

Who inspires you?

Fitness model and IFBB (International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness) Pro Ana Delia De Iturrondo. We are of same height, same weight so if she can look this good, I can too. And she’s 35 years old this year … She’s what I’m trying to go for.

When it comes to Physique and Bikini, it isn’t about how good your body looks, it’s all about appreciating the hard work, dedication, the time, mental strength and discipline that went in because without these you won’t be able to achieve where they are now.

I envy that and I think that is beauty.

How do you do it as a Malay woman?

It’s hard. The first year I received a lot of hate mails especially during bulan puasa. It’s not that I deliberately dress little but these sports attire, they are practical. [When it comes to competition] I will only compete outside of Malaysia.

Those who do fitness and who are into body-building, they will understand the dedication and hard work behind it. So when you go on stage and compete, even if it’s in a two-piece, it’s not about how sexy you look. It’s about showcasing your hard work and your dedication. It’s a different mentality we are looking at.

But [not having the understanding here in Malaysia] does not discourage me. I’ve fully accepted the terms and conditions of being a fitness model in Malaysia.

What do you think about Malaysia being the fattest country in South East Asia?

It’s very shameful I’d say because we can make changes and efforts, no matter how small they are, to change the situation. Look at the food that we are providing to our kids in schools. Look how fast fast food chains grow here.

You can eat healthy at home. I get comments like “oh makanan mahal” when I post picture of my meal of salmon but if you actually put the effort and time to find places, you can find them at cheaper price. Plus, cooking healthy is not as complex as cooking rendang or nasi lemak. Take the fish, a pan, slap it there, put your spices, cover it and it’s done in five minutes.
