For thousands of years ancient Yogi’s and Shaman
Monks have regulated their weight, body fat and general
wellbeing through ancient breathing and exercise techniques.
Elements of these ancient practices are evident in modern
day Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong and some Martial Arts disciplines.

The breath was seen by these ancient practitioners
as the link between the body and mind. It was used to cultivate
energy within the body, whilst postures and visualisation
were used to direct this energy to help energise and cleanse
the body and calm and relax the mind whilst bringing about
other beneficial changes in the mind and body.
The tenants of these ancient disciplines and their recognition
of the power of oxygen and the importance of breathing have
been synthesised and form core components of the SlimBody4Life
Method. The SlimBody4Life Method has evolved these Eastern
practices and incorporated modern Western Fitness Principles
to create a unique combination of breath and movement to
fully energise and oxygenate our bodies for improved fat
burning, vitality and health. |
The SlimBody4Life Method is a form of aerobic
exercise and aerobic exercise is any physical activity that
increases your breathing — to draw more oxygen into your
lungs — and increases your heart rate — to deliver
more oxygen-rich blood to your working muscles where it is combined
with both carbohydrates and fats to fuel our increased activity.
Aerobic exercise thus helps burn fat simply because it demands
oxygen, and fat only burns in its presence. The SlimBody4Life
Method will ensure your body has optimal amounts of oxygen available
to combine with fats to fuel your energy requirements. Further,
the low to moderate intensity nature of the SlimBody4Life Method
ensures that predominantly fat as opposed to carbohydrates is
used as an energy source.
In addition, the toning and shaping nature
of the SlimBody4Life Method movements and poses will increase
your levels of lean muscle tissue and so the speed of your metabolism
as your body demands more energy to support this new muscle.
This will further help you to burn more calories/kilojoules
and so fat even when at rest.
Beyond its fat burning properties, practicing
the SlimBody4Life™ program has many other beneficial properties
which relate to the fact that every cell in the body requires
oxygen to sustain it and help it function efficiently. When
we don’t get enough oxygen, we literally strangle our
cells. Having our bodies charged with oxygen, as occurs in practicing
the SlimBody4Life Method, we will enusure our bodies cells are
functioning optimally whilst we help our bodies detoxify with
a resultant increase in our vitality and overall health and
well-being.
