Core Concentration 
RJV Body Sculpt
Are you looking for
a tighter mid-section, leaner muscles, and
a healthier back? 
Then, GO DEEP!  Core training, especially traditional Pilates moves, allow you to work your abdominals on a very deep level - and while some of the moves can look  deceptively simple, when they are performed properly, they deliver amazing results.  
 
The key is to think of your abs as your stabilizer - so, as you're moving your arms and legs like levers, your core is deeply engaged.  Imagine lying on a beautiful new rug, with a glass of red wine balanced on your stomach - in order not to spill that glass, you have to keep those abs as tight and still as possible.  Want to put it to the test?  Here are a couple of my favorite summer slimdown moves that get to the "core" of the matter:
 
1) Double Leg Ab Lift with Ball:   Place the core ball between ankles, lie on your back, arms stretched above your head, and legs pointed up toward the ceiling.  RJV Roll Up Squeeze the ball between your ankles, keeping your back flat on the floor and slowly lower your legs down toward the floor a few inches.  As you get stronger, take them down to a 45-degree angle.     (If you're super-advanced, you can try lowering to the floor.) The key is to never sacrifice form, this will prevent the  back from arching. Return to the start position and repeat.
 
2) Cancan with Ball:  Lie on back holding core ball overhead, legs straight and feet together.  Engage abdominal RJV CanCan2muscles as you lift your upper body, reaching upward and  kick one leg up, meeting the ball. Hold for 2 seconds, then lower the leg, torso, shoulders, head and arms and alternate legs. (For an easy, gentler move, you can modify by bending the knees.)

Bloat Busters
Green Tea
 
We all know that when it comes to slimming down for summer, we are what we eat.  And getting a sleek look isn't just fat-loss; sometimes it's about beating the bloat:


1) Find your Favorite Bloat-Buster: Certain foods and beverages may help cut back on bloating without the dangerous side effects of some laxatives or water pills.  Fresh-brewed tea with peppermint or ginger is my bloat-buster of choice.
2) Follow the "More & Less" Rule:  Eating smaller portions more frequently throughout the day is a great way to keep your metabolism humming.
3) Say no to Sodium:  While a little salt here and there is hard to avoid (and hard to resist), keep
NO Saltin mind that sodium can cause water retention.  Check your labels, and here's a quick tip to determine if something is considered high sodium:  If the grams of sodium outweigh the calorie count, put it back on the shelf.
4) Sugar is a Sure Thing: Anytime we're discussing weight loss, the topic of sugar is inevitable.  Sweet stuff can cause spikes in blood sugar, leading to unwanted weight gain.  But before you overdose on artificially sweetened goodies, remember that sugar alcohol (found in a lot of "sugar-free" products) can also cause unnecessary bloating.  Unfortunately, the only solution here is good old-fashioned moderation!
5) Cut out the Cans:  In general, anything you can drink out of a can (carbonated drinks) can cause bloating - even diet sodas.  Try jazzing up your water with fresh lemon or "Emergen-C" packets.
