Q: What are your diet and fitness tips for getting bikini ready in a short period of time?
A: Commit. Plan Ahead. Eat Clean. Eat Breakfast.
Make your workout routines count. You make them count by strength training your whole body 3 days a week. Focus on the big muscles: legs, chest, back, arms. The other 3 days you do interval training. That's how you're going to burn the most fat. You can run or do intervals on the bike or the elliptical: 2 minutes hard and then ease up for 2 minutes. On the seventh day, you can rest or do an active rest like yoga, Pilates or hiking.
Q: You're also a food coach to your clients. What's your balanced healthy diet philosophy?
A: I abide by the 90/10 rule. That means 90 percent of the time you're going to fill up on healthy foods like lean proteins, low-fat diary, fruits and vegetables, such as Florida grapefruit, spinach and broccoli. A diet with 90 percent of healthy foods leaves room for treats 10 percent of the time. I believe we should have something that satisfies us each day. It may be a piece of dark chocolate or slice of pizza. That will sustain us in the long term. I believe diet is 70 to 80 percent of it, but you need to exercise because exercise changes your shape.
Q: You've worked with Jessica Biel, who is known for her shapely butt. Can you recommend some booty-firming butt workout moves?
A: The Val Slide is the secret weapon for a lot of celebrities because it will change your butt faster than anything you've seen. It's like using a slide board except that's it's smaller. So you can slide into a reverse lunge and because it keeps continuous tension of the muscles, it creates more shape faster. It feels like it's fun and easy, but it kicks your butt. You can do so much of your butt workout with no equipment: squats, lunges, step-ups. My clients don't want big quads, so I don't do a lot of heavy weights or leg presses.
