Cynthia Vader Superfitness. The best programs in the world

From callanetics and pilates to strip aerobics and belly dancing

Introduction

In ancient times, a beautiful body was considered the main wealth of a woman and the greatest aesthetic value. Our time is no exception.
The components of the modern ideal of beauty are harmony, grace and ease of movement, a free, confident and graceful manner of holding, energy and sportiness, well-groomed appearance. It is no secret that in our dynamic time it is difficult to make a career and achieve success in life without a good figure, that health and energy are valued as well as intelligence and professionalism.
And if you consider that the fashion for everything sports has swept over a large half of humanity, then it is no longer enough to pay attention only to makeup and toilets.
Even fashion is ruthless to women with its tight trousers on the hips, short skirts or sexy tops. Not to mention the zombification of us (by the media) with numerous types of successful, but slender blondes.
It is very difficult to survive in such a competitive environment, but it is quite within the power of each of us. How? Read on.
Since time immemorial, women have sought to be the object of adoration and admiration. And this is quite natural, because beauty is our strongest weapon. Few are able to resist the feminine charm. And if someone believes that beauty is a natural gift that cannot be acquired, then they are very deeply mistaken.
Firstly, every woman is beautiful in her own way, especially if she lives in harmony with herself and is self-confident. Because the surrounding men will not miss such confidence in any way and will definitely notice it.
Secondly, the ability to be beautiful is inherent in a woman since birth, it is only necessary to awaken this ability, develop and improve it.
Each of the women carries in herself a mysterious key to her own beauty, and therefore it is not difficult for her to be beautiful! Yes Yes! For example, upbringing forms character, teaching - intelligence, and the natural need of a woman to please and be attractive can be developed, developed, created, piled - call it what you want.
Beauty is in your hands, women, if you are armed with the knowledge and desire to become beautiful! Looking pretty means more than just being endowed with this quality by nature.
But again, everything needs harmony. Sometimes an excessive desire to achieve beauty causes only bewilderment. As the famous fashion designer Anne Burda said in response to the rapidly developing cosmetic surgery: “Any woman is good because she is a woman. You just need to skillfully emphasize your merits. By the way, she did not mean surgical intervention at all, but makeup and clothing style.
If with the help of cosmetics you can change the face beyond recognition, then this does not work with the figure. It is not for nothing that French fashion designers do not get tired of repeating: "If there was a figure, we would draw a face." And so Enne Burda advised not to rely on clothes, but to take care of your body seriously, because any clothes fit perfectly on a graceful figure.
Now stop reading and think about how you feel about your body. Why am I asking this? Because many women are accustomed to treating the body as a sentence, lamenting: "Well, what can you do if we were born like that." In response to a request to describe their appearance, they always begin with a list of shortcomings: the hips are full, the folds on the stomach, the back is not as straight as that of a ballerina. Answers like these make me want to say, “Stop! After all, this is the philosophy of defeatists, and only it prevents you from becoming the owner of a magnificent figure.
But if you are holding this book in your hands, then the thoughts of the vanquished are alien to you, then you are a winner who believes that you can radically change your appearance. And this is already the first step on the path to success, because everything starts with self-awareness and faith in one's own strengths.
Your body should be treated like a precious chest that keeps your soul and that you need to love, care for and cherish. Moreover, this means - not to feel sorry for him, but, on the contrary, to load him with training. Well, here we come to the most important thing that I would like to share with you on the pages of this book - the all-conquering power of fitness.
There is one interesting theory that psychologists confirm with numerous studies: fitness helps women not only improve their figure, but also gain self-confidence, turn from a Cinderella into a dazzling beauty who managed to win the heart of a handsome prince.
So, having learned to feel our body and its capabilities, we begin to love it and perceive it as powerful ally, not as an enemy. It is fitness that can do with our body, and therefore with the soul, consciousness, and so on, whatever we want.
And believe me, “being” in a beautiful body and enjoying the movement is the first step to gaining freedom and self-confidence. And let fashion require a good figure. I offer you a path to the top called "Super Fitness" that you can do without even leaving your home.
Yes, sometimes this path will not be easy, but staying ugly for life is even harder.
In our turbulent 21st century, technological progress with its scientific developments, developing at an accelerated pace, allows us to save time, making our daily life easier. And this is true not only in science or technology. Many scientific developments have also touched the fitness industry.
Have you ever wondered why humanity struggles with a sedentary lifestyle or physical inactivity with fitness, and not gymnastics or tennis, for example? Yes, because fitness saves time. In one hour of fitness training, your body receives a load equal to almost sixteen hours of playing tennis. And this is not the limit. Today, the fitness industry is busy looking for even more time-saving types of workouts. In just half an hour, you can get a load that has a more effective fat-burning effect and, of course, significant time savings. Moreover, many modern fitness programs can be successfully practiced at home. In the pages of this book you will find the best of such effective programs.

Pilates - a slender silhouette, perfect posture, the ability to control your body

What is Pilates

In a poll conducted in late twenty05 by Shape, one of the most popular fitness magazines (if not the only one), Pilates is one of the top five wellness destinations in the so-called "fitness hit parade". I think this is due to the fact that Pilates refers to the systems united by the general name "mind body", or "body and spirit", "reasonable body".
A thoughtful attitude to your body, attention to every movement, quiet music and a calm environment, well-chosen exercises, a certain training philosophy have a beneficial effect not only on our body, but also on our psyche, weakened by stress, work and many others. social factors. In addition, this unique type of fitness is ideal for those who are overweight, do not like to run and jump, who have recently suffered an injury, even the elderly. It's no secret that many women are oppressed by going to a fitness club: it is necessary to demonstrate to others their not always perfect body, to purchase a subscription and special clothes for training. And what about simulators that terrify with their devices (many do not know how to approach them)?! And Pilates is the perfect option for training at home. It does not require any special equipment or any specific clothing. Yes, and the new fashion dictates individuality, that is, fitness from a group becomes more individualized. For example, in the United States, such a service has appeared as a coach's home visit. And professionals call fitness on the phone the latest fashion. There is a huge meaning in all this: group training cannot individualize the load (for example, it’s too hard for someone, and someone asks to speed up the pace).
From all of the above, we can conclude that in addition to the ideal figure, we are more and more interested in health, emotions, soul, psychology ... You will find all this in Pilates, it is not for nothing that it is called a system that helps control your body. Pilates is a diversity of emotions, plasticity of the body, physical and mental relaxation, relaxation and positive emotions.
The world of fitness is unique, it does not stand still. If you belong to the category of women who want to get sustainable results without overexertion, pain and risk of injury, I suggest joining Pilates supporters.
Not so long ago, the method created by Joseph Pilates was considered an elite type of training, a closed school, accessible to a few. But he could not stay in the shadows for long, because this system, at its core, is the most effective exercise program suitable for most people. Currently, many international sports stars, show business elite, singers and actors are fond of Pilates. The list of supporters of the method is steadily growing and impressive: Madonna, Jessica Lange, Glenn Close, Jodie Foster, Patrick Swayze, Sigourney Weaver, Bill Murray and so on. It is at least unique that, created in the 19th century, Pilates remains popular in the 21st, and its popularity does not subside at all.
Josef method Pilates, like no other, will help you globally change yourself and your body. By regularly
