I am ready to start with you 60 days Workout plan training. We start in September and I will post every day video of the day. Some videos will be new, some will be older ones. You can follow my workouts every day and see your body transformation each week. All you need to do is to get started.
 
It is interesting to see how my strength, endurance and body has changed in one year. All because of  of you, your support, healthy lifestyle. Remember, you inspire and motivate me and I try to motivate and inspire you.
It has been wonderful year of "Perfectleanbody" with you guys. I learnt a lot from you and appreciate each of you.
 
Have a great day and lots of energy to all of you!
 
Pavla




















 
 
P.S.
Last couple days I was training in New York and it was my first time in New York (airport is not counting:-)). I loved it so much.

Fat Burn Workout + Abs, #9

Hello guys,





















new workout for you is here.
I love high intense interval workout (HIIT). If is fun, challenging and not boring at all. Whenever I do steady cardio on cardio machines, I am usually watching tv, listening to the music, watching people, thinking about my life and watching time! In fat burn workout I do not watch the time, because every minute I do different exercise and time is running so fast. After 30min I am sweat like on cardio machine for an hour. Intensity is up to you, always challenge yourself, but go your own pace.
Burn hundreds of calories, boost your metabolism, build strength and improve endurance. All in one workout. Feel great, look great!

Enjoy it!

Pavla

Challenge for the week 1 - Push ups

Hello guys,























your training should be always effective, no matter if you do plyometric exercises, strengthening exercises, intervals - fat burn workouts, steady cardio or stretching.
Simple exercises like squats, lunges, dead lifts, plank, push ups, triceps dip are excellent for strengthening your entire body. But if you do not keep the proper form, you do not get the benefit of it plus you can easily injured yourself.
The push up may just be the perfect total body exercise that builds both upper body and core strength. Done properly, it is a compound exercise that uses muscles in the chest, shoulders, triceps, back, abs and even the legs.

Proper form for push ups:
  • get on the floor, your hands are slightly wider than shoulders
  • place your hands on the floor, your fingers should face forward
  • rise up into your toes, keep the balance on your hands and toes
  • keep your body in a straight line from head to toe without sagging in the middle or arching your back
  • keep your feet close together or a bit wider depending upon what is most comfortable for you
  • contract your abs and tighten your core by pulling your belly button toward your spine
  • keep a tight core throughout the entire push up
  • inhale as you slowly bend your elbows and lower yourself until your elbows are at a 90 degree angle
  • exhale as you begin pushing back up to the start position
  • do not lock out the elbows, keep them slightly bent
  • repeat for as many reps as your workout routine requires

CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK 1:
  • 50 PUSH UPS every day
  • Start with regular push ups, if needed do baby push ups (on knees)

Challenge yourself, do your best, let me know, how you did.

Transformation in 30 days - day 30

Hello guys,






















Body challenge is over.
During 30 days I posted training and diet plan. With my workouts and training you have a chance to get leaner, stronger, healthier, more sexy, fit and happy. You deserve perfect lean body, your body deserve it. It works on me and as I am getting photos of you, I can tell it works on you as well.


My fitness goal in 30 days:

  • increase fitness level
  • do more reps in "fit test" routine
  • decrease body fat
  • eat clean
  • feel more energized
I can proudly say that I reached my fitness goal. I am stronger, and leaner than month ago. That means I lost body fat, but maintain muscle mass.
My chest, abs, legs are more defined, stronger, I can do more reps and that is an excellent sign of improvement. I can also breathe through workouts much easier than before. I feel great, energized and happy. All because of active life and you.
As I compare results from DAY 5 and DAY 30, I improved myself in all exercises, my endurance is much better and I am stronger. I can do more push ups which is awesome. Push ups are my weakness and as you can see, we can fight  against our weakness.

    Transformation in 30 days - DAY 29

    I can`t believe body transformation is almost over!

My fitness goal is to get stronger and in those 29 days I got stronger for sure. How do I know? I track my results of each interval training.

    Transformation in 30 days - DAY 28

    Hello guys,

    last REST day in our body challenge.

    Most of us know that getting enough rest after exercise is essential to high-level performance, but many of us still over train and feel guilty when we take a day off. The body repairs and strengthens itself in the time between workouts, and continuous training can actually weaken the strongest one for a variety of reasons. Some are physiological and some are psychological. Rest is physically necessary so that the muscles can repair, rebuild and strengthen. For recreational athletes, building in rest days can help maintain a better balance between home, work and fitness goals.



    I spent my rest day with my daughter Sophia, friend Eva and her daughter Trinity. We had a great time together. We went downtown in Indianapolis and took a horse coach. Then we went to our favourite sweet factory shop and had an ice-cream and walked through down town.
    What a beautiful rest day!

    I hope you enjoy your rest day!

    Pavla


     


    Diet:
    • drinking: 4liters of water
    • breakfast 7.00am: 2 boiled eggs with whole wheat toast, banana, 1 glass of orange juice
    • snack 9.00am: strawberry x mango shake
    • lunch 12: california rolls (6 pcs), vegetable salad, caffe mocchiato (skinny version)
    • snack 3.00pm: 1/3 cup of raw mixed nuts, ice cream
    • dinner 6.00pm: spinach and mushrooms stuffed chicken breasts, vegetable salad
    • snack 9.00pm: glass of low fat milk, 2 tbsp low fat peanut butter

    Bodysculpt Workout

    Hello guys,






















    I have for you great bodysculpt workout. It is very similar to Fat burn workout (interval training). In interval training you do maximum repetitions in each interval.
    What is the difference between Fat burn workout and Bodysculpt workout?
    In bodysculpt workout you do certain amount of repetitions. It is strength training that combines flexibility and cardiovascular conditioning (cardio). Shape and tone your body without building muscular size or bulk, retain lean muscle tissue while boosting metabolism.
    Why is it important to do strength training?
    Strong, toned muscles increase your metabolism and burn calories far more than cardio only.

    Here is the challenge, so let`s try it!

    Pavla




    Bodysculpt workout



    Recommendations:
    • do 50reps of each exercise
    • if you are not able to do 50reps, do as many up to 50, at least 30reps
    • I did 50reps of each exercise and it is possible, so do not give up
    • go as fast as you can
    • this workout took me 30min
    1. high knees or jump rope, 10min
    2. push ups, 50reps
    3. squat, 50reps
    4. squat x jack, 50reps
    5. push ups - feet in x out, 50 reps (this one is really hard and challenging, you can modify and do baby push ups)
    6. right leg: lunge forward x knee up, 50reps
    7. left leg: lunge forward x knee up, 50reps
    8. center crunch, 50reps
    9. side to side crunch, 50reps
    10. one side crunch, 50reps
    11. other side crunch, 50reps
    12. reverse crunch, 50reps

    Fit tip:
    My weakness are push ups.
    Exercise no 5 was really challenging for me. Do as many reps as you can with feet in x out, then when you think you can not do anymore, go down on your knees and finish with baby push up. Do all 50 reps.

    Transformation in 30 days - DAY 25

    Hello guys,


















    couple more days to the end of body transformation.
    I am thinking, I like connection with you every day! If you have any ideas what to do after this 30 days challenge, let me know. My plan is to post every day workout video according to the workout plan. You can exercise with me every day and stay in great shape.
    One thing I would like to talk about. People around me ask me how to lose weight, what exercises help to lose weight, what kind of diet to eat. It is great and very important if you set your fitness goal, realistic fitness goal (for example 1lbs weight loss in one week or workout at least 3times per week). Your fitness goal can be also to maintain your current weight.
    Sometimes we are so obssesive with the desire of perfect lean body and naively stick to a low calorie diet, exercise like crazy. Yes, it works, but you can go like this only for couple days and then yo-yo effect appears and as a result in stead of losing weight you are couple pounds heavier then before. Focus on your healthy lifestyle and try to keep it, that is the secret.
    Training today is very powerful interval training and I loved this one. Burn hundreds of calories in this workout and also after the workout.
    Let` s make a promise: Do your best in last couple days of our 30 days challenge!

    Have a great training,

    Pavla



    Training:
    • Fat burn workout + Abs (30min), # 3
    • stair master 30min, level 11, mode: Fat burn
    • modification: brisk walking 30min and swimming 15min
    Fat burn workout + Abs (30min), # 3


    Recommendation:
    • it is interval training
    • try to do maximum reps in each minute
    • you can have quick rest between each minute 5-15sec
    • in each minute try to do 30reps and more up to 50reps

    Transformation in 30 days - DAY 24

    Hello guys,

    how are you feeling? Keep sending me photos of your body changes, I love those results.
    As you do fat burn workout every day, you are building your strength. Are you tracking number of reps you do in each minute? It is important, because next time you do this workout you can compare your results and see the difference.
    Do Fat burn workouts really work? Yes, definately! Why it works? This type of workouts are very intesive, focusing on strengthening every single muscle. Because it is interval training with very short period of rest, your body burns more calories compared to steady cardio. Intervals also speed up metabolism, so you burn hundreds of calories within 24 hours after the workout.
    Why does it work for your abs? People think that abs are defined by crunches, sit ups... Yes, it is true, but if you do only strenghtening exercises, you strengthen your core. You need to lose body fat to show your muscles, that are hiding under the layer of fat.
    I would like to mention that your abs are defined not only by "crunches", but also exercises like squats, lunges, cross lunges, bridge and others.
    I did today training with my gym buddy Eva, we used elastic band, but do not worry if you do not have one. Simply do the same exercise without elastic band, you get great workout as well.
    Push yourself, challenge yourself and enjoy it! It is your workout!

    All the best to you,

    Pavla

    • Fat burn workout + Abs (30min), #2 - do two rounds

    I am so happy for you, for those who did not give up, who are satisfied with results, who are motivated and also inspiring me to workout and keep Perfecleanbody page going.

    We all have days when we are up and down, but all together we make our dream come true. We make it happened. Be strong, eat smart and healthy. Your body deserve it, you deserve it.
    Training today is great as usual!:-). I train with my gym buddy Eva, she is very fit. She challenge me and push me a lot, so each time I workout with her, it is like a race for me and I want to win!:-). Great total body workout!
