If you can’t join one of her popular group classes at L.A.’s top fitness clubs, you know the ones that are always overflowing with celebrity regulars and fitness fiends, then don’t fret. Jenkins’ two new fat blasting workout DVDs, titled Blast the Belly Fat and Power Yoga, will help you meet your 2011 fitness goals in your home gym.
What is your training philosophy?
Healthy living is the sum of all of its parts. You must address all the components of fitness as well as nutrition, the mind, the spirit and the environment to successfully achieve a healthy dance in life.
Provide three tips for readers to help them follow through on their 2011 resolutions.
1. Accept change. If you want a new outcome, you must accept that it’s time to do things in a new way. Success is a state of mind. Once you accept it and are really [ready] to do what it takes to achieve your goals, then nothing can stop you. When there is a will there always is a way.
2. Schedule your workouts into your weekly agenda like any of your important meetings. This is the meeting with your health: mind, body and spirit.
3. Follow a healthy meal plan with my 80/20 rule: 80 percent of the time or Monday through Friday eat healthy, organic whole food and unprocessed meals and 20 percent of the time (weekend), have a few treats and indulge in a couple of things you have been craving.
How do you keep your clients motivated?
It’s easy for me to keep my clients motivated because I love what I do so I am constantly studying and reading and learning and sharing that information with my clients. I also make sure I tailor programs for their specific needs and personality so they have a great time while getting healthy.
