The Hot and Fit Is With Fever

Dear Hots and Fits,

 

I know its been so long.

I have been diagnosed with Pneumonia earlier this week which has made me sleep too many hours and miss too many runs.

I will tell you that my Hot and Fit spirit has been high as always and even my doctor was surprised that I have such a good mood with 39.3C of fever.

My fever is now gone thanks to 2 gram doses of daily drugs (that just sounds so wrong but I love how American English lets me use the word “drugs” instead of “medicinewhat can I say in a different life I would have been an American)

Other than a bunch of yoga moves I haven’t gotten much done. This morning, though, I felt a little better, and did this workout with a 1 minute cardio interval in between each move.

So yes as mentioned above I did two sets of these moves and my-oh-my my quads and hamstrings are still shaking

So Women’s Health is my new favourite magazine and if I can’t run tomorrow then I am bound to try another one of their workouts.

In other news New Moon only premieres in this lovely country on November 26th which means I am going to be obsessing over it for the next 6 days so best of luck to my friends and family….the Edward Cullen talk won’t die soon….

Wow.

I wish I’d look this good when leaving the gym.

She Wolves

Image

Did you see this video? Shakira looked Hot and Fit on Saturday Night Live!

The day after, she was approached by reporters and asked how she got this sexy gorgeous body! The answer?

Training. Dancing for many hours every day!

See? It doesn’t come easy even for the rich and famous! Shakira also said that she loves dance aerobics and abdominal exercises.

There is, however, one thing she doesn’t give up (does any of us??):

chocolate

“I’m a chocolate addict. Oh yeah, so I have to work twice as hard because I can’t quit chocolate. I can’t quit sugar. That’s the one thing I can’t quit.”

The Hot and Fit says:

  • We are actually females with a pastries love – cakes, donuts, muffins, cupcakes – you name it. No, chocolate isn’t really our thing
  • Cardio + core exercises = She Wolf Body

Alessandra Ambrosio Is Oh-So-Hot

From all the Victoria Secret Models, Alessandra is our favourite! People Magazine recently posted an article on how she lost her baby weight after giving birth to her daughter, Anja Louise in August 2008.

Looks like although it has been more than a year, the hard work never ends…

Image

Alessandra says it wasn’t an easy job at all:

“Last year, because I had a baby and I had to lose pounds, I did a lot of cardio. This year is all about weights, squats and lunges.”

Nevertheless, she walked in the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show just four months later, revealing her fabulous post-baby body.

Image

 

But Ambrosio’s having a tougher time with this year’s show.

“After I gave birth, my diet was a very healthy diet, like no sugar, no bread. But now, I am just eating whatever. I’m working out [...] four days a week.”

 

Look at her when pregnant!

Image

 

The Hot and Fit says:

  • It really looks like she has a naturally thin figure – How else would we explain how amazing she looks even when pregnant?
  • Doesn’t that happen to many of us who DIET? You set the goal, try so hard for the time being, and once you get there, it can go all wrong – you start to indulge too much!
  • We’ve reached the conclusion a while ago, after too many years of high-protein/low-fat/low-calorie/5-factor/insert-yours-here diets that the only way to lose and keep looking good is by changing your lifestyle – eat well, respect your body, exercise

Get Hot and Fit: The Reverse Plank

Planks and their variations are by far our favourite moves.

The best thing about them is that you can do them anywhere, anytime, before you go to bed or when you just get up, at home or at the beach like this hottie:

Image

Instructions:

  1. Sit with your legs straight out; hands positioned behind the body, under your shoulders.
  2. Inhale to prepare, exhale as you lift your pelvis up, reaching the soles of your feet towards the floor until only your hands and heels are in contact with the floor.
  3. Inhale in this position, exhale as you push all your weight through your right heel and hands, sending your left leg towards the ceiling.
  4. Inhale in position, exhale as you lower your leg to the floor and repeat with right leg. Continue for 10-12 repetitions.

And just to say that if you are like us and find this extremely challenging we may suggest a couple of things:

  • Do it on your elbows. This way, you won’t be putting so much stress on your palms and wrists
  • Do not lift your legs. Just hold the position for 20-30 seconds.
  • Bridge
