5 Ways to Trim Belly Fat 500 281 Facercise

5 Ways to Trim Belly Fat

body sculptingOne of the biggest concerns our body sculpting clients have is belly fat. The tummy is an area where stubborn fat can persist, even when we’re at an ideal weight. Stress causes overproduction of cortisol, which can increase hunger and contribute to unsightly weight gain—and even rolls—in the midsection. If you want to target that area specifically, the tips below will help make a real difference. Keep in mind that consistency is key!

1. Load Up on Lean Protein

Lean protein is essential for shedding belly fat and losing weight. It helps builds lean muscle mass, which causes you to burn more calories on a daily basis. It will also fill you up so you eat less overall. Some excellent sources include poultry, salmon, tuna, mackerel, eggs, quinoa and lentils.

2. Cut Back on Sugar

Refined sugar causes weight gain, belly fat and wreaks havoc on your blood sugar levels. Cut out sugars as much as possible.  Saved those baked goods for a treat once in a great while and cut out the sugar-laden juices and soda. Reduce your intake of simple carbs like white bread and pasta since they convert to sugar in your system.

3. Dry Brush Daily

Dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system, which flushes the toxins from your body. This assists with weight loss and breaking down fat in the connective tissue. Our new Louffa Bundle for Face & Body contains all you need for both body sculpting and facial benefits.

4. Do No Lipo Lipo for Body Sculpting

No Lipo Lipo is a revolutionary body sculpting method that targets your trouble areas and breaks down fatty deposits. You can do sessions at our spa in Redondo Beach or any of our licensed locations. If you prefer to do it in the privacy and comfort of your own home, you can use the No Lipo Lipo DVD. It provides comprehensive instructions so that you can quickly and easily master your technique.

5. Exercise Regularly

Regular workouts are essential for losing belly fat and toning muscles. Consistency is key—strive to exercise several days a week for a solid duration. For best results, incorporate all three pillars of training: cardio, flexibility and strength/resistance. Find something that works for you and do it four to five days week. Increase the duration and intensity of your workouts over time.

5 Reasons to Start Dry Brushing 500 333 Facercise

5 Reasons to Start Dry Brushing

body sculptingWith the New Year around the corner, there is no better time to kick start your body sculpting routine. One of the best ways to achieve a more toned, smooth appearance is with a daily dry brushing regimen. It’s the perfect complement to exercise and the No Lipo Lipo program. It’s safe, natural and effective—so forget the idea of risky surgical procedures like liposuction.

This body sculpting practice takes only a few minutes a day but the results are incredible. Read on to learn about some of the awesome benefits!

1. A Rosy, Youthful Glow

Dry brushing exfoliates so that you shed dead skin cells like crazy. It also improves circulation and the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your skin cells. This imparts radiance to the skin, a brighter complexion and a rosy, youthful glow. You can also dry brush your face! It’s a wonderful adjunct to the Facercise program of revolutionary facial exercises. If used regularly, dry brushing exfoliates, tones, tightens and actually lifts the skin of the face and neck. The exfoliation process initiates strong blood supply to the skin, sheds dead skin cells and allows the skin to breathe and function better. Shedding old dead skin cells effectively accelerates the turnover process, making way for new fresh cells. This exfoliation unclogs the pores and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Your skin will actually begin to glow! Exfoliating the skin also allows the skin to better absorb your skincare products.

2. Detox

Dry brushing boosts the lymphatic system, which is responsible for eliminating toxins from your body. This helps you eliminate waste faster and is what contributes to the body sculpting and weight loss effects of this technique. When toxins build up, we gain weight and can develop illnesses.

3. Smoother Skin

The level of exfoliation achieved with dry brushing diminished the dead skin cells that makes skin appear dull and feel rough. It unclogs pores and expedites cell turnover so that your skin is softer and smoother. Your skin will also be less prone to breakouts.

4. Diminished Cellulite

The stimulation of both circulation and the lymphatic system leads to firmer, smoother skin. This helps diminish the appearance of cottage-cheese like bumps under the skin aka cellulite.

5. Better Health

Dry brushing has been shown to release endorphins, which promotes a better mood. It also stimulates digestion and healthy kidney function. A regular routine will help you be a better, healthier version of yourself!

5 Benefits of Dry Brushing 500 750 Facercise

5 Benefits of Dry Brushing

dry brushingDry brushing is an age old body sculpting technique that’s enjoying a new wave of popularity thanks to celebrity endorsements and social media. It’s an excellent way to improve your appearance and overall well-being—and it only takes a few minutes per day.

Your skin is your largest organ and should be given the same amount of care that you give the rest of your body.

Read on to discover five benefits of dry brushing that go more than just skin deep.

1. Dry Brushing Boosts Circulation

Dry brushing improves circulation and blood flow, which helps deliver more oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells. Improved blood flow leads to a healthy, youthful glow and promotes the elimination of metabolic waste.

2. Lymphatic Drainage

The lymphatic system is a major part of the immune system that eliminates cellular waste from the body. When it’s not functioning right, toxins can build up and cause inflammation. This can result in bloating, weight gain and illness. Dry brushing stimulates lymphatic drainage to boost the body’s detoxification process.

3. Exfoliation

Dry brushing sweeps away dead skin cells to reveal softer, smoother skin. Unlike some of the harsh exfoliating products on the market, this is one of the safest, most natural ways to exfoliate and unclog pores. With regular practice, you’ll experience less breakouts and your pores will appear more refined. The natural exfoliation also improves skin texture, prevents ingrown hairs and allows your skin to “breathe.”

4. Reduced Appearance of Cellulite

Many clients report that dry brushing helps reduce the appearance of cellulite. This is because it breaks down the fatty deposits in the connective tissue. Smooth skin looks firmer and tighter, making cellulite less apparent. When performed in conjunction with our No Lipo Lipo body sculpting technique, the results are stellar.

5. Increased Energy and Stress Relief

Our clients feel invigorated and report a boost in energy after dry brushing. This may be due to increased circulation or detoxification. Many also describe the practice as meditative—the simple act can reduce muscle tension, promote relaxation and relieve stress.

It boosts circulation and blood flow, which feeds more oxygen to the skin. The result is a brighter complexion and healthy, natural glow.

2. Smoother, Softer Skin

This technique is one of the best ways to exfoliate, which detoxifies the skin, unclogs pores and expedites cell turnover. You’ll experience less breakouts and softer, smoother skin.

3. It Stimulates the Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system helps flush toxins from your body. When it’s not working properly, these toxins build up and lead to weight gain and illness. Dry brushing stimulates this process so that cellular waste is eliminated faster.

4. Reduced the Appearance of Cellulite

With improved circulation and detoxification, skin becomes firmer. This helps reduce the appearance of unsightly cellulite.

4 Tips for Body Sculpting 500 333 Facercise

4 Tips for Body Sculpting

body sculptingMaking small changes and adopting healthy habits will help transform your body and entire lifestyle. Here are some great diet and body sculpting tips to implement—pick one and start this week!

1. Be Consistent

Set up consistent exercise regimens, meal plans and sleep schedules. This will help you make healthy choices every day, since you already have a plan established in advance. Whether it’s working out four days a week, eating salads and lean protein daily or sleeping a certain number of hours every night, each healthy habit will add to your improved health and beauty.

2. Body Sculpt With No Lipo Lipo

My amazing proprietary body sculpting technique breaks up fat deposits in your body and boosts weight loss efforts. You’ll lose inches and your body will appear firmer and more toned.

3. Ditch Carbs After 5 pm

I recommend this to all my clients, especially if you’re doing No Lipo Lipo, either in-spa or at home. This will help regulate your blood sugar levels, boost the weight loss process and optimize the results you achieve from No Lipo Lipo.

4. Prepare in Advance

When our schedules are jam packed, it’s easy to sabotage our diets. You may end up skipping meals and overeating later, or hit the vending machines and fast food restaurants for a calorie overload with few nutrients involved. Instead, prepare snacks in advance so that you won’t make unhealthy choices. Have fruit and veggies at your desk at work, stash bags of nuts like cashews, walnuts or almonds in your purse. For those days when time is scarce, have a low sugar protein bar on hand to stave off cravings.

Remember, it takes 21 days to form a healthy habit so get started now! Click through for more information about No Lipo Lipo, our incredible body sculpting technique.

5 Tips for Sculpting Your Summer Body 500 334 Facercise

5 Tips for Sculpting Your Summer Body

body sculptingSummer is around the corner—and there’s no better time to focus on body sculpting. While there are no overnight fixes, you can make a difference quickly—for example, No Lipo Lipo results can occur in a matter of weeks. If you follow some or all of the tips below on a consistent basis, you can build lean muscle, burn fat and appear sleeker and more toned. Your confidence will soar and you’ll feel summer ready. What are you waiting for?

1. Lean Out

Lean protein is key to sculpting your body and losing inches. It helps you build lean muscle mass, which makes you appear more toned and increases the number of calories burned every day. Load up on lean protein sources such as eggs, quinoa, chicken, turkey, beans, lentils, peas, salmon, tuna, mackerel and shrimp.

2. Build Muscle

Strength and resistance training are the best ways to build muscle. Many women are afraid to use weights and resistance because they think they will “bulk up.” Your goal is simply to use resistance and weights to tone and build lean muscle; doing some body weight and dumbbell exercises will not make you get too big. Try moves like lunges, squats, dead lifts, bench press and dumbbell curls and rows. For abs, try planks and hanging leg raises.

3. Burn Fat

Two of my favorite ways to burn fat are to drink green tea and do cardio. Green tea contains EGCG, a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to help burn fat. It also helps hydrate and flush the toxins from your system, which aids weight loss. Cardio exercise helps you burn fat and calories, while building a healthy heart and lungs. It also gives you energy, improves sleep, increases bone density and bolsters your mood.

4. Dry Brush

Dry brushing exfoliates and boosts lymphatic drainage, which flushes toxins and excess water from the body. This helps eliminate bloat and encourages healthy digestion. Dry brushing also boosts circulation, which promotes the elimination of metabolic waste. This can help prevent and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

5. Do No Lipo Lipo

No Lipo Lipo is a massage technique that you can perform on yourself in the comfort of your own home. It breaks down cellulite and fat in the connective tissue while reversing gravity and tightening the skin. Regular practice promotes weight loss and results in the appearance of a more sculpted, toned body. The No Lipo Lipo DVD shows you how to perform the technique on yourself so you can achieve your best body. No Lipo Lipo results are enhanced when performed in conjunction with dry brushing.

No Lipo Lipo Dry Brushing Technique 633 1024 Facercise

No Lipo Lipo Dry Brushing Technique

body sculptingDry brushing is truly a remarkable body sculpting tool that should be included in everyone’s daily regimen. It’s absolutely step one in obtaining your dream body. When you dry brush using our sisal louffa mitt and strap, you remove the dead skin cells, stimulate circulation, boost detoxification, break down cellulite deposits and improve muscle tone. After a week of daily dry brushing, your skin will actually begin to glow and appear tighter, more toned and lifted!

Dry brushing is actually best performed first thing in the morning, before showering. Our sisal louffa mitt and strap are manufactured in Germany and created specifically for use with No Lipo Lipo. At first, they may seem a little rough on the skin, but this is a good thing! As your skin gradually begins to detox, the sensitivity will lessen.

The Method

Start by sitting on a stool or edge of your bathtub. You will dry brush each section of your body 30 times. If you want to accelerate your results, go for more strokes per area. With the sisal louffa mitt, begin by brushing the bottom of the foot from the toes to the heel, then the top of the foot from the toes to the ankle. Next brush the front and back of the leg from the ankle to the knee using quick back and forth strokes. Proceed to brush from the knee to the top of the front of your thigh and inner and outer thigh areas using quick back and forth strokes, making certain to cover the entire thigh area. Then repeat the same sequence on the opposite side of your body. Brush using upward strokes over the entire buttock and hip areas.

Brush up your waistline from hip bones to your natural waistline, covering the entire front of your body. Brush the palm of your hand from fingers to the wrist and repeat on the back of your hand. Brush upward from wrist to elbow, front and back. Now brush from elbow to shoulder, front and back. Brush under the bust from side to center of body in semi-circular strokes. Brush from the armpit across the top of the bust area to prevent or eliminate a flabby armpit. For the back of the body, you will use the louffa strap. While standing, place the strap at the back of your ankles. While holding the handles, shimmy the strap up the back of your body, working your way up to your neck as if drying yourself with a towel.

Care

To clean your mitts and strap ~ shake them outside. NEVER WASH. Always remember to replace mitts & strap once they become too soft.

6 Ways to Reduce Cellulite 500 333 Facercise

6 Ways to Reduce Cellulite

Cellulite is a stubborn condition that both men and women suffer from—and one that is difficult to improve. It gives the appearance of dimpled skin everywhere from the legs and glutes to the arms and stomach. Many seek surgical treatments out of desperation to try and remove cellulite, but the results are unpredictable and often mediocre. The good news is, you can use a non-surgical body sculpting technique like the ones below to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of cellulite.

1. Flush Away the Toxins

It’s essential to drink lots of water to flush the toxins from your body that dwell under the skin’s fat layers and make skin appear bumpy. Proper hydration also plumps up the cells to make skin look smoother. For maximum benefits, squeeze lemon into your water and add green tea to your hydration plan.

2. Dry Brush

Dry brushing is an excellent technique for detoxifying skin. It stimulates circulation and breaks down fatty connective tissue to help skin glow and appear smoother. Regular dry brushing also helps prevent the formation of cellulite.

3. Apply Retinol

Retinol helps smooth dimpled areas and boosts collagen production. Apply a gentle topical retinoid like our Retinol Skin Conditioner nightly to diminish the appearance of cellulite.

4. Avoid Refined Carbs & Sugars

Refined carbs and sugars cause inflammation that makes fat cells grow and retain fluid. These fluids accumulate, slow down circulation and breakdown collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity.

5. No Lipo Lipo

One of the best ways to eliminate unsightly cellulite is with No Lipo Lipo, a powerful, non-invasive body sculpting technique. It tones, firms and helps break down fatty tissue. Best of all, it can be performed in the comfort of your own home—you can now stream the No Lipo Lipo DVD on Amazon!

6. Infrared Saunas

Sweating in an infrared sauna detoxes pores and boosts circulation to facilitate delivery of oxygen to skin cells. This stimulates collagen production and improves skin tone and elasticity, which reduces the appearance of cellulite.
