PerfectLeanBody is focusing on exercises that make your body perfect, lean, fit, strong and healthy. Simple, intense, effective home fitness videos and diet tips.
we train together every day. But honestly do you also stretch after each workout?
Stretching is very important and as long as you are flexible you stay young.
I stretch every day after workout and I can proudly say - I can touch my toes. Can you touch your toes? Do you think stretching is only for women? Stretching is for everyone, young, older, man or woman, beginner or advanced.
Let`s try this simple stretching routine after your training.
thank you guys for your support, comments and questions. It all makes our website better.
Training today is excellent for your back. Years ago I suffered a lot from low back pain. After some time I realized that no pain killers, but strengthening exercises for back and abdominals help.
Strengthen your back with Strong back workout and lose fat with cardio.
Have a great workout!

As I was driving from the gym, I heard the song from Rihanna - Diamonds. I realized we all are diamonds. If you want to shine like a diamond, you need to get out of the box.
Let`s shine all of us like a diamonds and do great workout for your lower body. Then finish with cardio.
I did yesterday 30min step master, 20min elliptical and 20min kickbox and tell you - the feeling I had was amazing. My glutes were so sore and cardio made me feel like a shining diamond!:-)

I am busy a lot with the new project. Recently a lot of things happened in my life and I am dealing with my own life. I love challenges and I have to say, what I am going through right now is a big challenge for me. That means that I will be stronger and better after it all. I try to stay always positive and turn everything negative to a positive one.
Sometimes we have to close one door to open the other door. We all, who are involved in fitness are so lucky, because fitness makes our lives much better and happier. In rainy days I go to the gym, I do the workout and I am so happy afterwards. It is all so worthed.
Today`s training is great! I did this training at least 3 times, once while I was in the Czech republic and twice in USA with my friends. My friends were "dead" after the workout and feeling great, energized and happy.

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

for beginners do as many reps as you can (it can be 10, 15 or 30..we are all different fitness level)
track your results, when you do this routine next time, you can compare your old results with new ones and see improvement

can you imagine wake up in the morning and have the body you always wanted?
It would be great, right?! But in reality, it is not like that. Losing fat takes time. Slowly fat loss is better than fast weight loss with "yoyo" effect. Step by step, day by day to reach your fitness goal.
I am with you and we both are training together.
Have a great day!

Soon I will have a surprise for you and we move to different level. We will have a chance to spend more time together.
Yesterday as I did grocery in Walmart, I wanted to make a video of my grocery cart. You ask me many times what to eat, how often to eat, how much to eat, when to eat. Healthy diet is something very "normal" to me, but for others it can be very unusual. Unfortunately my battery was low and I was not able to make a video for you. Next time!:-)
Training today is great for strengthening your lower body, especially glutes and thighs, but also incorporate abdominals. After that you can go for at least 30min walk or jog or any other type of cardio.
Let`s do the workout!

It is all up to you, how fast/quickly you get in great shape. With my workouts you get excellent results. But you need to watch your diet, make healthy choices.
Try to stay away from fried food, junk food, soda. Drink plenty of water, eat lots of fruit and vegetable.

Today is your REST day. You should relax and enjoy the day.
What do I do in that day? Usually go for a massage, shopping, playing with Sophia, go for a walk, simply I enjoy the day and do whatever makes me happy and feel good.
If you like shopping, then "rest" day is a good day for buying fitness apparel. I am posting a picture of what I tried on, what do you think?
I love parfumes and bought one nice one, so if you want to smell incredibly sexy try this one (Viva la juicy La Fleur).
I got also a beautiful flower from a client who lost over 30lbs in about 6 weeks.
I have to share with you one inspiring story that happened to me yesterday. My car was broken and I had to take the car to the dealership for repair. As I walked in the building and sat by the table, servise advisor was eating his snack - rasperry and almonds. It is very rare to see people eating very healthy. Mostly I see people eating "junk food". And as I was sitting with him consulting the problem, he started to talk about healthy eating and how great it feels to eat heatlhy and that he wish other people would know the feeling. It surprise me a lot that he started to talk about healthy diet without me saying anything. I felt like I am in this heatlhy eating with this guy too.
Whenever you are hungry, try to make good healthy choices. You will feel great, light, energized, stronger, not as tired.
Training today is excellent for your lower body. First part is interval training focusing on your glutes, inner thighs, quads, hamstrings. Because it is interval training, it is not only fat burning, but also toning. Ladies, you asked me so many times, how to lose fat around your innerthighs, hips...this is the right one for you. Second part of the training is a routine for your abdominals. You will love it.
Enjoy the workout and have a wonderful day!

Yesterday I went for a walk on Monon trail as a part of my cardio training.
I was walking for about two hours and it felt absolutely great. "Walking" reminds me my home - the Czech republic, where I used to walk all the time - to the school, to the store, to the park, everywhere. While I live in USA I see one big difference between back home (the Czech republic) and USA, over here you spend so many hours driving to get somewhere.
Cardio vascular activity (aerobic exercise) is very important for your health and weight loss. Every day at least 30min and you change your life to better one, heatlhier, leaner one.
Training today is fun and we use equimplent - BOSU ball and 5lbs dumbbells. If you do not have BOSU ball, it is ok, you can modify and do the same workout without it.
Get in great shape, tone your muscles and lose fat. Start today!

How are you guys? During 60 days you have a chance to train every day with me and get in great shape.
Healthy diet should be a big part of your life. Fitness and diet goes together one in one hand. You can workout like crazy, but if you are overeating with fried food or processed food, then you might not see any changes in your body shape.
Healthy diet does not mean you must be starving. It is all about making healthy choices and eating the right food in moderation. Eat a lot of vegetables and fruit with each meal.
I am posting a picture from one of you, great idea for lunch!
Enjoy your life!
