On Fitness.

I am - hands down - a really vain person on the beauty aspect and growing up, I was exposed to the unhealthy mentality that beauty is being skinny. Thankfully, I've also understood a few years back that being skinny isn't just about fitting yourself in amazing clothes but your body will also need to look good in them!

Toned body!

Hence, it involved a lot of precious time and money when I subscribed to gyms, hired personal trainers to come home and watch my daily diet, bought the equipments that would have helped the process, slimming programmes, massages, pilates, yoga.... everything and anything under the sun! Along the way, I also realized it won't take you there without strong and consistent self-motivation. :) You've got to do it for yourself, not for other people.

Reality is, I still had cellulites (I used to be size UK10 when I was 13-14) that were so stubborn they just wouldn't go and one day I was showed an article on doing power plate exercise - which, by the way, had worked miraculously!

It looks as per the picture below and as far as I know, you can get one off the market from a range of $2000-$10000, depending on what you need and what are you able to fork out.

It involved a series of die-hard work outs, way different from what I thought it would be. I thought it was easy compared to the work outs I did on normal gym equipments knowing that each exercise should only be done for 30 seconds to a minute but it wasn't all sweets because that 30 seconds can be the longest 30 seconds in your life.

This machine helped me a lot in improving my blood circulation which in return had helped for the cellulites to go away. They basically are there because of poor blood circulation due to excess fats (or just blood circulation probs alone) and you can break down fats at certain parts of your body only depending on what you need.

However, I would say real speedy results only follow if you watch what you eat. Throughout 6 weeks, I controlled my food intake by cutting down on red meat and even if I had a large portion of it, I would make up to a 15-20 minutes session on power plate. Also, it works quicker than conventional exercises on the treadmill or cross-trainers!

My height's 171cm, used to weigh 58kg with an untoned body.

After power plate exercises, I'm now 54kg with toned thighs, toned arms, toned abs and best of all - cellulites free! Would definitely give the credits to Joey for introducing.

For the rest of you who would want to have a toned body, I would strongly suggest this form of exercises. Takes 60% lesser time!
