BIOGRAPHY
 Hi,
I'm Kellie Newsome,
a 31 year old aerobic instructor and personal
trainer from Tampa, Florida.
I'm a first place figure competitor for the
National Physique Committee (NPC), and
currently Mrs. Hillsborough County for Mrs. Florida
United States.
My
workout schedule consists of at least
30 minutes of cardio, five days a week. I
teach step, spinning, boot camp, glutes and abs, and power sculpting. When I
can't workout at the gym, running on the treadmill or in my
neighborhood is my choice of exercise.
To maintain muscle tone, I hit the
weight room at least twice a week,
outside of my
sculpting classes. People are afraid to workout in the weight room. They
are intimidated by the equipment,
and are afraid to look bulky.
What they don't understand is that weight lifting burns twice the fat that
cardio does, and you can create any
look you want by understanding how your body responds to the resistance.
To sculpt and tone my
abs, I not only teach two classes a week devoted to just
the ab section, but I use weight
resistance to increase the "six-pack"
look. There are so many exercises that you can do to flatten and
define the abs. The misconception is that by doing 300
sit-ups every night, you will have a great stomach.
The ab muscles need to be overworked to show improvement.
Once you can do 50 crunches...do 100. You should add
weight to your program, and
not be afraid to push your body to it's limit. In
training, I also believe that
a minimum of one days rest and muscle recuperation is necessary
to not put too much strain on any one muscle group.
The key,
though, to any definition of any muscle group,
is to be lean. If you are going to work hard to lose
weight or lean up, you must have the right diet program to go
along with it. My diet
is a lot more lenient than my days
of competing. No one
wants to live on chicken, potatoes and vegetables every day.
However, the principles behind a competition diet have stuck
with me. I believe
that if you lower your carbohydrate intake and increase protein,
(as well as cut back on the snacks), you are bound to see
improvements. Protein is needed for muscle growth, and the
KEY to weight loss and muscle definition is...BURN MORE CALORIES
THAN YOU TAKE IN!!! This is my key
to diet and living every
day. Have a little indulgence here and there, reward
yourself for hard work, but don't over-do
it on anything. Balanced meals of protein, carbs and
vegetables, as well as a LOW SODIUM intake, help me stay
fit. By moving more,
and concentrating on building the abdominals, you can sculpt and
tone your way to the six pack of your dreams. It's all in
how badly someone wants it!
Hope you like my
workout and good luck with the Sixpacknow Program.
