David Kirsch answers my questions!
After my recent review of his book, The Ultimate Total Body Makeover, I was left with lots of questions on how to use his plan in a more reasonable way- I’m not one to promote a 2 week fat loss program ever- however, his workout plan is really creative. We all know I like to have strong muscles and will lift as heavy as I have in my garage (at the moment that means a 35 pound k-bell or 20 pound hand weights). But, I know some of you don’t want to lift heavy- you’d rather have a toned, yoga like body and his plans are more designed for you. So, here are his answers.
Q Which celebrity do you think really works their butts off and wants a lean body for themselves and not for the media?
A While the initial motivation may be media-driven, I truly believe that all of the celebrity clients that I have worked with consider their transformation an honoring process. We focus on achieving their wellness from the inside out. And in turn, they have strength, confidence and beauty that they never had before.
Q Do you train with kettlebells and if so what’s your favorite exercise to do with them?
A I love doing Plie Toe Squats and Assymetric Lunges with Kettle Bells
Q l love all your stability ball exercises that I have posted in my garage-
but I don’t have time to do them all in one session and I don’t think most
moms do either. What do you think is the best way to burn fat for those of
us who have a GRAND total of 45 minutes to exercise?
A You need to engage in intense and continuous movement. A combination of cardio with light weights is best. Attached is an example of a 20-minute fat-burning cardio + cardiosculpting workout from my book, The Ultimate New York Body Plan. This would be a great circuit to do twice leaving you a few minutes to stretch. All you need is a pair of dumbbells, a medicine ball and a jump rope (optional).
And, do you have any questions for David? Also, he sent me a workout that I’d be happy to email to any of you. Please email me at fitnessformommies (at) gmail (dot) com.
