PerfectLeanBody is focusing on exercises that make your body perfect, lean, fit, strong and healthy. Simple, intense, effective home fitness videos and diet tips.
recently I started to train Fat Burn Workout + Abs. Honestly I love those workouts!
Short of time, intense, effective, challenging. Not everybody has 2 hours every day to workout. Fat Burn workouts are great for you if you are short of time and need to lose weight or get in great shape fast.
Improve your endurance, build the strength, boost metabolism, burn fat and hundreds of calories in 30 minutes.
Enjoy the workout!

Fat burn workout + Abs (30min), #6
Recommendations:
do as many reps as you can in each minute
do two rounds
track your results
have a quick rest between each exercise (10-15sec)
enjoy it!
I. One round (10min) - do it twice (20min total)
jump rope, 5min
squat x leg lift x squat x leg lift, 1min
in plie keep your hips low and jump knees in x out, 1min
squat down x alternate leg lift x squat up and jump, 1min
kicks, 1min
plank: one leg: knee in x out x leg lift, then switch the leg, 1min
time is running so fast and we have ten more days to reach our fitness goal.
Do you feel the difference? I do for sure. I am stronger, my abs are more defined, my legs are more toned and I can do more push ups! One more thing I notice, my cellulite on my glutes is disappearing. I feel great. I try to eat clean and so far I am doing great.
What about you and your diet? It is really hard to maintain healthy lifestyle, but once you get used to it, it is much easier. Diet is about making healthy choices, it should not be about starving or giving up all the food you like.
Training today is fat burn workout and cardio. If you have time, the best is to do workout in the morning and cardio in the evening.
Enjoy your day, hugs!

Training:
Fat burn Workout + Abs, #1
cardio - stair master, 30min, mode: fat burn, level: 11 (depends on your fitness level)
modification instead stair master: jogging 20min or brisk walking 30min or swimming 20min

Recommendation:
do each exercise (except for jump rope / high
knees) up to 1min, do not exceed 1min
have a quick rest between exercises
(10-15sec)
my recommendation is to do 50reps in each
exercise. That might be too many for someone, so set your goal and do less. (For
example 50 push ups are too many for me, so my goal is 30. But 30 lunges is not
challenging for me, so I do 50)
at the end of this routine there are 3
exercises focusing on your abdominals
finish the workout with jump rope or high
knees

warm up with jump rope or high knees,
5min

Ladies in the gym come to me and they say: "I will never have body like yours".
I want to assure you, that my body looks much better now then when I was 20. It is because I take care of my body, I do exercise every day, I eat healthy (I try). I maintain healthy lifestyle, I do not smoke, do not drink (occasionally). I wish I could sleep longer, because I love to sleep, but have many things to do and can not sleep as long as I would like to. It all reflects on your body and your soul.
We all deserve to have perfect lean body and look great, feel great, no matter what gender, age.
Today training is intense as usually, but I compound into it also dumbbells. You can use 5lbs, 8lbs dumbbell or whatever you have at home. If you do not have any dumbbells, find something heavy.
Have a great workout!

snack 9.30am: grapefruit, 1 cup of berries
lunch 12: grilled salmon with vegetable salad

dinner 6.00pm: grilled chicken breasts with 1 cup of broccoli
snack 9.00pm: fresh vegetable (carrots, cucumber, radish), one glass of low fat milk
for this day I prepared training that is really challenging, powerful. We are getting closer and closer to reach our fitness goal, that means we need to workout harder without no excuses.
To get a perfect lean body is possible if you are disciplined and follow my diet tips. I know, sometimes it is hard to stay motivated.
What helps me to stay motivated? Music helps me a lot, listen to the music with the fast beat, that would push you through the workout. Also I like to workout with gym buddy (who is fit), it is always good to have healthy competition and compete with someone.
Enjoy the workout and this one is really fun and hard!
do 2 rounds, one round is 20min, so two round is 40min
do maximum reps in each minute, try to do between 30-50reps in each minute
have very short rest (10sec) between each exercise
Fit tip: within 30min immediately after workout you burn all food you eat, so if you want to cheat little bit (candy or something you like and you know you should not have it), you do it immediately after the workout (without guiltiness:-))
One round:
jump rope, 5min
push ups, 1min
jump rope, 1min
alternate lunge back, 1min
alternate lunge forward, 1min
squat x jump, 1min
squat, 1min
tricep dips, 1min
cross lunges, 1min
mountain sky climber, 1min
burpees, 1min
Abs:
a) center crunches, 1min,
b) one side - elbow x opposite knee touch and reach, 1min
c) switch arm and leg and elbow x knee touch and reach, 1min
d) plank - touch your foot (one side - arm x opposite leg), 1min
e) plank - switch leg and touch your foot, 1min
Honestly, two rounds of this fat burn workout is so challenging and hard! I loved the challenge and muscle soreness afterwards. It takes 40min, so it is longer then 30min, BUT the benefit of this training is huge. Great workout! Prepare post workout meal, because you will be so hungry as you speed up your metabolism!
Surprisely the harderst for me were last two abs exercises - plank and touch the foot. My chest was burning as I was holding plank and I had few times quick rest in this interval.

today is a REST day! Second week of body transformation is over. I am proud of you!
I received few photos of you and your body changes and I am so happy for you to see it works!
Remember, your rest is just as important as training. You want to avoid overtraining syndrom. If you are overtraining and this has not happened to you yet, trust me, it is only a matter of time.
Why is a rest and recovery so important for you?
lack of rest makes your training less effective
repeatedly failing to recover is going to utterly batter your poor central nervous system, leading to injury, illness and chronic fatigue
What is my plan for today? Because it is so nice and sunny I spend the day with my daughter Sophia by the pool.
Also today is a "cheating" day, so I have something really good, tasty, sweet to eat. I LOVE rest days!
Enjoy your rest day!
Hugs,
Pavla

I want to thank you for your support, comments, tips. Without you it would not be the same. You make a big part of Perfectleanbody`s workout. We are great team and together we are so strong and powerful. Think about it whenever you are lazy or tired to workout.
Give yourself every day 30-60min workout, be healthy, look great and proud of yourself. I am receiving photos of you and your body changes and it makes me so happy!
I know Fat burn workouts really work and I am glad to see that it works for you as well.
Another day of 30 days challenge and new training. Fat burn exercises are excellent for losing fat, speeding your metabolism, improving your endurance, developing your strength.
do you want to get sleek, sexy arms and shoulders?
Your shoulders and upper back tend to carry less fat than the rest of your body, so the right arm exercises can give this area a nearly instant makeover. This training hits every major muscle and will help stabilize your shoulder joints, improve your posture, and build that strong, toned look you are after.
Very common problem is a tricep muscle. If you are looking to tone up your arms, you must lower your total body fat percentage. Consistent arm workouts are great to strengthen the muscles, but will not completely help to make those muscles more evident.
If you want to lose fat, check out Fat Burn Workouts, they are great for fast fat loss.
how are you feeling so far? I hope you are feeling great, motivated and inspired. Results are coming very soon.
Write down your fitness goal you want to reach in Transformation on a piece of paper and hang it on the wall. Whenever your weakness in training or diet comes, look at your fitness goal, how far you are already from the starting point. Do not give up, be strong and positive.
We all are struggling, we all are weak in some point, but with the support of all of us, we can make the "dream" come true.
Training today is total body workout, in which you burn hundreds of calories not only during the workout, but also after the workout.

last workout -"day 8" was challenging with the main focus on your upper body.
Training today is excellent for your lower body, especially calves, hamstring, glutes, thighs and also abs. Abs are not only defined by crunches on the floor, but also lunges, squats and standing crunches. This routine has it all. After this workout you feel your glutes and obliques the most.
Yesterday I met my friend in Walmart as I did grocery and he asked me how many pounds he can lose in Transformation. I told him that it is all up to him, how disciplined and strict he is. You can lose 1-2kg each week, that means 4-8kg during Transformation (30 days).
Let`s take every day seriously and do your best. I know it is not easy to follow the training and diet tips, but it is worthed for sure. I am struggling with diet a lot. Every day I make choices and try to make a good heatlhy choices.
I am disciplined, but very weak sometimes too. As I talk to people in the gym, the biggest problem is not the training, but the diet.
Try to be disciplined, constant and never, never give up.
Words for the day 9: discipline, constancy, patience.
Pavla

Keep taking a photo of you after workout, so you can see your improvement from the DAY 1. You notice visible body changes very soon!
Fat burn workout is the most effective training for fast fat loss and if you add aerobic activity, maintain healthy diet, you will be surprised by your results.

one week is over, congratulation to you! We made it to day 7 - REST day.
Getting enough rest after exercise is essential to reach our fitness goal. I know that many of you still over train and feel guilty when they take a day off. Try to think about this - your body repairs and strengthens itself in the time between workouts, and continuous training can actually weaken the strongest athletes.
Rest days are critical for a virety of reasons, some are physiological and some are psychological. Too few rest and recovery days can lead to overtraining syndrome.
Spend the day with your family, friends, people you like. Take massage, relax, do fun stuff. Spoil yourself with food you like (in moderation!!).
almost one week of body transformation is over. How should you feel? You should be feeling more stronger, healthier, you can better catch your breath as you do cardiovascular activity.
Because you follow also diet tips, your stomach is not as bloated, your body is more hydrated, cleaner. For this great feeling it is definately worthed.
What is important? Do not give up, one week is over, but still three more ahead.

another great workout for you. I get a lot of questions concerning Fat burn workout.
You ask me questions like: does it really work? Is it good if I want to slimmer my legs? How long it takes to have results? Is this type of exercise the right one if I want to lose belly fat?
Fat burn workout is very intense workout, challenging, powerful and effective. You burn hundreds of calories not only during workout, but also after the workout, because you speed up your metabolism.
If you want to lose weight/fat, you should not only perform aerobic exercise (that get your heart pumping harder and help you to burn calories), but you will also need to incorporate other types of exercise and a healthy eating plan.
Fat burn workout includes aerobic, anaerobic activity (cardio) plus strengthening training. In a short time, approximately 30min you get all in one. That is why those exercises are so effective, powerfull and popular.
Enjoy the workout and trust yourself.
