How to Get a Body Like Beyonce







In 2010, Beyonce Knowles won six Grammy Awards, setting a Grammy record.[1] Not only does she have amazing musical talent but she also looks fabulous, has curves in the right places, and is nicely toned. For some, she even has "the perfect body". If her shape and appearance inspire you, here are some steps that will help you get in shape like Beyonce.

Steps

  1. Eat healthy and don't starve yourself. Beyonce enjoys snacks to keep her energy levels up, foods such as fruit, oatcakes with cottage cheese, or yogurt-covered almonds.[2] It's important not to skip meals; Beyonce aims for three meals with two snacks in between each day.[3] Eat plenty of vegetables and fruit, whole grains, and two servings of fish each week.
    • Drink plenty of water, just like Beyonce.
    • Cut down on sugary foods, salty foods, and junk food, in general. But don't cut these out of your diet completely; after all, Beyonce allows herself treats occasionally, saying that "When I'm being bad, I'm bad – burgers, pizza, French fries, the lot...".[4] Enjoy junk food in moderation now and then; just don't go overboard.
    • Provided you're exercising regularly, the aim is not necessarily to lose weight, and curves are good. The aim should be to tighten up your body with better nutrition.
  2. Form an exercise plan. Beyonce has to be able to handle the strenuous pace of dancing, singing, and touring. She works out five days a week and does 100 squats, 100 step-ups, and 100 walking lunges a day.[5] Beyonce does circuit training, and runs two-and-a-half miles each day.[6] If you enjoy running, this can be a great form of exercise. While you might find her schedule way too punishing unless you're doing a music tour too, you can borrow some of her ideas. For example, try choosing exercise that you can follow at least two days of the week; three is better. Have a day of rest between exercise days.You could try swimming, running, dancing, lifting weights, or doing aerobics, whatever exercise fits in with your working out strengths and is something that you enjoy.
    • Do your exercise to music. Beyonce suggests that this is how to make it fun,[7] thereby motivating you a lot more.
    • Beyonce works out with weights, including 5 pound weights for bicep curls during an entire song, or 3 pound weights to box for the length of one music track.[8]
    • Beyonce loves cycling and dancing as fun ways to improve her fitness levels.[9]
    • If nothing else, follow a walking program. Walking is easy, but it is one of the better overall exercises. Get one or more friends to walk with you for more fun and motivation.
    • Consider getting a personal trainer if you think this will help keep you focused and you can afford the expense.
  3. Find a source of motivation to keep you going. Beyonce has a goal and so too should you. She keeps a poster of an Oscar on the wall of her gym to inspire her to keep working at it.[10] What's your goal? Perhaps it is to keep fit, or to stay healthy for all your life, or to get ahead in a career or hobby aspiration. Whatever your reason, ask yourself how will you represent this goal visually so that it can serve as a source of motivation for you. A poster, messages, or photos of your goal can all be good ways to inspire you. Be sure to put these in places where you'll be reminded often of the purpose of getting a great body.
  4. Be consistent. Beyonce works constantly to achieve her goals, including dancing all day long in high heels in order to get ready for a music tour.[11] Set yourself regular exercise schedules that you can stick to, no matter what else is happening in your life.
  5. Be proud of your body. Beyonce has said that she "wears skimpy outfits" because she's "proud of her body".[12] She's not afraid to show off what she's got, being proud to celebrate her body shape the way that it is. She accepts that she is not naturally skinny and she detests fad diets after trying them and finding they don't work.[13] Take a leaf from her book and love your body the way it is and don't harm your health with fad dieting.
    • Love your curves. They are attractive and beautiful.
  6. Wear what suits you. Beyonce is renowned for wearing beautifully tailored clothes that make the most of her good features. If you can sew or get your clothes tailored to your own body shape, you'll find that you look your absolute best; clothes that fit properly flatter your body. Clothing off the rack is trying to fit a range of sizes that may or may not suit your own shape and this can be made worse by the broad-ranging belief that you should fit into a single size. The reality is that a good wardrobe may well be filled with the sizes that fit in each style of clothing you try on. That may mean that you have larger tops and smaller bottoms, or larger jacket and smaller blouse sizes. Don't make the mistake of preferring a smaller size in the hope it'll look better on you; something that looks too small will ironically make you appear larger! Get the sizing right and a lot of your quest to appear "bootylicious" is sorted.
    • Even jeans can be worn skin-tight with curves. Look for versions that are made with curves in mind, such as jeans with fake pockets around the thigh area, so that bulk is removed.[14] Wear skinny jeans with high heels to elongate your look. The boot cut is also an excellent style for women with curves.[15]
    • If you can't figure out what looks best on you by yourself, invest in spending some time with a personal stylist to help you or search in stores and/or on the Internet for your body shape and what suits it.
  7. Love the person you are. Don't seek to transform into Beyonce or be a dead ringer for her. You're a unique wonder in your own right and while she offers a great inspirational role model, your ideal image of her must be tempered by the realities of what's achievable with the body and lifestyle you've got. Love what you have and make the very most of it; use Beyonce's inspiration to motivate you to exercise regularly and to eat well.

Here's one fun way to keep fit when dancing!

Tips

  • Keep to your exercise timetable by writing down your plan on the calendar or separate paper.
  • Exercise with one or more friends to provide social motivation and fun. You're much more likely to stick with it if you're enjoying the exercise experience as a whole.
  • Running up a hill and walking down it is a good way to keep your butt and thighs well toned without losing their shape.
  • Stick to a good weight loss diet thats healthy to find out more visit http://www.diethealthcentral.com for the very best diets and advice.

Warnings

  • If you gain some weight while you're exercising regularly, it is probably muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat. You want shape and fitness rather than a certain body weight, so don't get too concerned about this. Just remember to eat properly and get the exercise habit; if you have any concerns, speak to your doctor.
  • Buy clothes that fit. Vanity sizing is a waste of your money and good looks. Don't buy smaller in the vague hope it'll make you look smaller; all it will do is emphasize what isn't fitting into your clothes!
  • Diets should always be undertaken after conferring with your doctor. If you have any health conditions or particular problems exercising, etc., speak to your doctor before making major changes to your nutrition and exercise regime. Best I've found yet is http://www.diethealthcentral.com Try it.

Things You'll Need

  • Comfortable workout clothes and shoes.
  • Optional: weights, jump rope, exercise bands, bike, exercise mat, tread mill, and so on.
  • Of course you will need a good diet program to accompany your exercise can I suggest http://www.diethealthcentral.com its easy to follow and simple to do.

How to Fit Small Bursts of Exercise Into Your Day






Doing the same, long exercise for hours on end will not help you get fit and healthy. In order to do so, you may want to try fitting in small "bursts" of exercise into your everday life. Read this guide to help you kick-start your life to a better you...

Steps

  1. Continue your life as normal. Go to work, go shopping with friends, just live your life as you would each and every day. When you're at work, typing on a computer or sitting at a desk for long periods of time, stretch your muscles and kick your legs under your desk. This is the first step to a fitter body.
  2. Walk your dog. It's great exercise, and not only is it healthy for you, it's great exercise for your pet! But if you don't have a dog, you could always try to walk a little everyday. Instead of taking the elevator, use the stairs. If you live ten minutes from work, walk or cycle. Instead of driving the kids to school, walk with them, and encourage your kids to become healthier too.
  3. Stay positive. Being positive will not only keep you motivated, but it increases your life span and can make everyone around you feel happier. Learn how to motivate yourself, and stay focused. You could lose pounds, and not even know it.
  4. Tag along with a friend. When you exercise with someone, you lose weight faster. If you don't have a lot of local, close or any friends, you can make friends by joining a gym or dance club. This will help you stay healthy and have a balanced social life.

Tips

  • Keep a cold bottle of water with you whenever you exercise. It's very important to keep yourself topped up with water, especially if you walk or exercise everyday.
  • Eat healthier. Try to eat at least five pieces of fruit or vegetables everyday. Swap colas and fizzy drinks for smoothies, or better still--water!

How to Help Kids Who Hate Sports Keep Fit





It's a great idea to encourage children who don't like sports very much to feel a part of the sporting community and to find a sport that suits their temperament. Here are some suggestions to help out.

Steps

  1. Get the child's health and vision checked out. Sometimes, reluctance to involve yourself in certain activities can signal a problem.
  2. Offer choices. There are many activities that can keep kids fit, not the entire of them involving team sports.
  3. Keep an open mind. Some girls want to play ice hockey and basketball, while some boys want to take ballet or figure skating.
  4. Suggest activities that work well for solo types as well as team players. Choices could include dancing, gymnastics, swimming, skating, martial arts and horseback riding.
  5. Give confidence. Also support non-sporting activities to build teamwork and sharing skills, such as school clubs, band or orchestra participation, volunteer activities, debating teams, or performance groups.
  6. Be supportive. Be enthusiastic but don't shove. If your child mentions interest in a certain activity, don't immediately assume you're raising the next Olympic champion. Your child might just want to play tennis for fun and fitness.
  7. Set a good example. Take a walk, go for a swim, play different types of sports, or sign up for a fitness class yourself.
  8. Be aware of your expectations. Remember that your child may not care for the sports you excelled in during your youth. Let him go his own way, as long as he's fit and active.

Tips

  • If your children are mature enough, consider holding a family fitness conference. Discuss various types of activities, list the pros and cons, and help your children decide on a few things that they might like to try, either alone or with the whole family. Also, explain why you are doing this.
  • Equipment is essential. Before signing your child up for any fitness activity, find out just how much supplies and equipment will cost you and how often they may need to be replaced.

Warnings

  • Pre-adolescent children should not get involved in weight training; if your child seems interested, ask your pediatrician for advice.
  • Some kids just aren't cut out for team sports and that's okay. There are many other physical activities they can do, and their reluctance to join athletic teams shouldn't be a cause for major family friction. Find a sport that fits the child, not fit the child to the sport.
  • If a child does not want to or is not physically or mentally ready for a sport or activity, try to encourage them to try but don't force them to. If a child is forced to do a sport they aren't good at and fail miserably, it will likely crush their self-esteem.

How to Get Great Abs





You abs may become more flexible and stronger at the same time if you follow some of the next tips and a healthy lifestyle:

Steps

  1. Eat raspberries.
  2. Drink a lot of water.
  3. Give up cocktails.
  4. Stand straight.
  5. Plant flowers.
  6. Dance!
  7. Put your feet up!
  8. try doing situps/curlups/crunches with a pillow or exercise ball under your back/hips to elevate them. this makes your abdominal muscles work harder so that you're exercising your abs and not your hips.
  9. Frogs.

Tips

  • Raspberries are full of fibers, and fight against the constipation and the sense of fullness.
  • It`s healthy, calorie free, and increases your metabolism. The idea that water makes your belly larger is wrong because the water is the product that the body eliminates the easiest.

  • If you don`t stand straight, you belly may seem larger. This is a slimming effect on your belly that also helps you work on your abdominal muscles.
  • Gardening may help you lose weight. The bends, lifts, and planting may burn up to 350 calories per hour.
  • All you need is an inspiring song so you move graceful around the house. It is known that dance makes you burn a lot of calories and hips moves may reduce your waist.
  • Sit on your back, on the floor, with your feet on the bed or on a chair, and easily lift yourself by using your shoulders, neck, and belly muscles. Return to the initial position after a few seconds of standing straight. This exercise should be repeated for at least fifteen times.
  • Lay down on your abs, put your foot under a heavier armchair, and lift your head and body as high as you can with your arms on your neck. Repeat this exercise twice per week, for twenty times.

Warnings

  • Always talk to a specialist before starting a fitness program.
