Hi, I've been "following" you for a while now (what a weird sentence in any other context!! ;))and first let me tell you that you look amazing so keep doing what you're doing. If you want that lean look most of us are looking for, you need to include some stretching moves like Zuzka had done...At first, as beautiful as she was/is, she did look slightly stompy (I'm not sure that's the right word...calf-heavy if that's a word!?) but since she's included ballet moves, she's gotten much much leaner (like dancers are as opposed to athlètes I guess!!). I suppose strength training and cardio work your muscles in width whereas ballet works them in length. Any pilates or yoga session would probably work in the same way. It's just food for thoughts, if it's not welcome, please ignore it. I just wanted to share something that has made a huge difference in my training, adding a pilates or stretching session right after a Zworkout to lengthen the muscles. Good luck, I really enjoy your straight-to-the-point blog.
ReplyDeleteTHank you for your suggestion! And thanks for following:) I do 1-2 of Z's power yoga sessions per week. As a rock climber, I have stay limber (and injury free!) The real obstacle for me is food. I'm going through a really stressful time raising my young kids right now so I tend to start eating something I know I shouldn't whenever i feel stressed. I wish there was a solution for that but as they get older and more self sufficient, the stress is slowly easing up:)
