Muy buenos días desde España,


Permítame presentarme y que no lo haga en inlgés. Acabo de adquirir sus dos videos en Collagevideo, pero acabo de ver que tiene una guía de Fitness, mi pregunta es si está en español.

Por otra parte, he estado curioseando el blog y los programas de entrenamiento; ¿puedo preguntarle si tiene en cuenta la frecuencia cardiaca, y por tanto el trabajo aeróbico y anaerobico realizado para diseñar un programa?

Un saludo,

Milagros

Good morning from Spain,

I just bought both of your videos at Collagevideo but just noticed that you have a Fitness Guide, does it come in Spanish as well?

Also, I’ve been reading your blog and your fitness tips. My question is, while designing your fitness program, did you take in consideration the frequency of the cardio as well as the anaerobic moves?

Cheers,

Milagros

Hola Milagros,

Gracias por escribir. Si, a guía de ejercicios viene también en español.

A la hora de diseñar el programa de ejercicios para el video tuve muy en cuenta de hacer una rutina que tenga incluida trabajo aeróbico mezclado con ejercicios de fortalecimiento. Es por eso que hay tres ejercicios de fortalecimiento seguidos por dos o tres de aeróbicos y despojes un descanso de 30 segundos. Esto hace que tu cuerpo logre quemar mucho mas grasas y calorías que si solo estuvieses haciendo ejercicios de fortalecimiento. El descanso de 30 segundos es para que puedas recuperarte y poder seguir la rutina con buena postura pero al mismo tiempo es un descanso mínimo para que poder mantener tu ritmo cardiaco elevado.

Cuando hice este video, lo hice lo mas parecido posible a un entrenamiento que hago con mis clientes.

Espero disfrutes del video!

Hi Milagros,

Thank you for writing. Yes, the fitness guide comes in English and Spanish.

When I designed the moves for my fitness video, I did plan the frequency and the amount of cardio and strength training exercises. There are 3 strength training moves followed by 2 o 3 cardio moves, this makes your body burn more calories and fat. After that circuit, there’s a 30 second brake. This brake allows you to catch your breath so you can continue with the workout with good form. At the same time, by just taking 30 seconds we are making sure your heart rate stays in a good zone.

When I did this exercise video, I wanted to make it as close as one of the sessions I have with my clients.

Hope you enjoy your video!

Hi Lalo!!

I LOVE your workouts!!!

I have a 2-part question:

1. Is there a cardio workout routine you can recommend that doesn't require any equipment but is also effective for burning calories? I find the traditional jumping jacks, on the spot running and kick-back exercises you do in LaloFit v1 exceptionally effective. So on my "cardio only days" I do these exercises in rotation for about 30 minutes. Although I feel the burn, the exercises can get boring. Are there other simple exercises I can do in combination with those moves when I am on a "cardio day"? I really like to sweat it out!

2. Is it ok to alternate between LaloFit v1 and v2 (e.g. Mon, Wed, Fri: v1; Tues, Thu, Sat: v2) or is that too taxing on the body?

I really want to see results quickly...but I guess patience is a virtue!

Thanks!
Claire

p.s. any plans to produce a cardio-only workout DVD?

Hi Claire,

I’m glad you like the workouts!

Take your cardio workout outdoors. While you’re getting some cardio done you are also enjoying the outdoors, which could be a great way of reducing stress. I filmed my fitness videos inside a warehouse and only using 5 Lb weights to send the “Do it anywhere”, “No excuses” message. Try running, hiking, biking, swimming, play tennis, beach volleyball, racquetball and the list is endless. Any of those activities will make you burn a lot of calories and fat. If you still want to keep it indoors, you should try to also include the ab workouts in between your cardio moves. That should get you sweating and will ad variety to your cardio days. The only way I would do a cardio-only DVD is if I end up doing a 3 month program

Having both videos gives you more variety, which is great, but you should not workout every day with them. Since both LaloFit exercise videos are full body workouts, you’ll be working the same muscles. Try to do V1 Mon, Wed, and V2 the same days but the following week. You can also do V.1 Mon, Wed, and V2 on Friday or the other way around. On Tuesday Thursday and Saturday you can do cardio and abs. And yes, patience is a virtue; as long as you do strength training, cardio and have a balanced diet you should be on the right track.

Good luck!
