2- WHERE DID ALL THIS COME FROM?

SlimBody4Life draws on ancient Eastern breathing and exercise techniques that are evident in Yoga and Qi Gong. These ancient techniques were used to cultivate energy within the body through the breath and direct it through postures and movements. In doing so, ancient practitioners were able to regulate their weight, body fat and general wellbeing. The SlimBody4Life team has synthesised these practices and combined them with Western Fitness and Nutrition Principles to enhance the bodies fat burning properties whilst still incorporating the wellbeing attributes of these ancient practices.

3- IS THIS LIKE YOGA AND PILATES?

The SlimBody4Life Method draws on the same ancient techniques upon which Yoga and Pilates have been based and whilst it incorporates some similar principles it is a completely unique approach to fat burning and wellbeing. The breathing in itself is unique to SlimBody4Life and whilst there are similarities in the exercises the combination of the breathing with these exercises is unique to SlimBody4Life.

Beyond its focus on fat burning SlimBody4Life offers other attributes similar to that offered by yoga and pilates, such as increased flexibility, core stability and wellbeing.

4- HOW DOES BREATHING BURN FAT?

It is not the breathing by itself that burns fat it is the combination of the unique breathing technique with the specially designed exercises that creates this possibility. The SlimBody4Life Method is a new form of Aerobic Exercise and Aerobic Exercise is any exercise that causes our body to demand more oxygen. By increasing the demand for oxygen Aerobic Exercise burns fat because fat only burns in the presence in oxygen. Simplistically our Aerobic System uses the increased oxygen and combines it with our body fat to fuel the activity we are undertaking.

5- WHY HAVEN’T WE HEARD OF THIS BEFORE?

Because until now the principles haven’t been isolated and made accessible. People in yoga, martial arts circles and other Eastern practices have been using the breath to change their bodies for a long time, but these circles tend to be less accessible to many people. Western fitness too, has been using the principle of oxygen burning fat for a long time, but until now within the context of other exercises (jogging, gym workouts, and aerobics).

The SLIMBODY4LIFE Team has isolated the unique process of breathing and exercise required to burn fat and created a system that makes it accessible to everyone regardless of age, fitness level and gender.

6- WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO TRAIN?

The best time to train is in the morning although you can do the program at any time provided it has been 3-4 hours since you have last eaten. In the morning your metabolism is its slowest and is waiting to be kick started. Activating it in the morning will have it working throughout the day helping you to burn kilojoules/calories even when at rest.

Further, in the morning your stomach is empty so that you will more likely use your body fat stores as a fuel source as opposed to the food you have just eaten. Also when you do eat after exercising your body’s enzymes are more active and likely to utilise the kilojoules/calories you have fuelled it with as fuel leaving little or nothing to be stored as fat. The morning is also the time you have most control of. There is less likely to be other commitments that crop up and prevent you from undertaking your scheduled training session.

7- HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR ME TO SEE BENEFITS?

That depends on the motivation of each individual, like anything else. Put more in, get more out.

Everybody has different requirements. Burning fat is based on many things (metabolic rate, water retention, age, gender, fitness level and how fast you learn the SlimBody4Life Method and whether or not you incorporate the Eating Plan with the Exercise Program.). No one can predict these things, but it’s safe to say the more motivated you are, the more you apply yourself, the faster you will experience results.

Most people who apply themselves notice physical changes occurring during the second week with those who follow the Healthy Eating Plan experiencing the greatest results. People can expect to lose as a minimum 1kg a week if they apply themselves.

Apart from the fat burning and weight loss changes noticed most people also report increased energy levels, sleeping better and a greater sense of wellbeing in the first week.

8- WHAT ARE SOME OTHER BENEFITS?

Beyond its fat burning and weight loss benefits the Fat Burning Program has been designed to help those who undertake it to experience the following:
• Speeding up of the Metabolism
• Muscle toning and shaping
• Increased energy levels.
• Increased core stability and flexibility
• Improved sleep
• A greater sense of wellbeing

9- WHO IS IT FOR?

The SlimBody4Life Fat Burning Program is designed to make fitness and fat burning accessible to everyone regardless of their age, fitness levels or physical capabilities. It is designed to be used by anyone who would like to change their bodies, from those who are overweight to those who are just looking to shape and tone up. It has been designed to be low intensity and low impact ensuring that it is accessible to the widest number of people.

10- WILL YOU STILL GET RESULTS IF YOU DON’T FOLLOW THE EATING PLAN?

To ensure optimal results the Fat Burning Program has been designed to incorporate both Exercise and Healthy Eating. That being said we have also ensured that both components can be undertaken separately if desired. Those who have undertaken either the SlimBody4Life Method Exercise program in isolation from the Healthy Eating Plan have experienced results as have those who have used the Healthy Eating Plan by itself. But throughout it is those who have undertaken both together who have experienced the greatest results.
