NEW TIPS:
7 New Tips From Pro Fitness Athlete/Cover Model/Actress Brenda Kelly.
Fix Your Metabolism:
- Did you know that if you eat small well-balanced meals every 3 hours you will speed up your metabolism?
Energy For The New Day:
- Carbohydrates are not your enemies! Eat complex carbs at the start of the day to keep your blood sugar stable and give you energy for hours when combined with a small amount of protein.
For Healthier Hair:
- Use a ceramic-coated curling iron. You will have less hair breakage than with the plain metal ones.
Make Clump-Free Protein Shakes:
- When mixing any powder to liquid, mix in only enough liquid at first and make a paste -add the rest of the liquid when there are no dry spots.

Get Glowing Skin:
- Exfoliate every week. New cells are formed and die off every 3 days or so. Go easy on the face! Moisturize after to lock in place.
Traveling Tips:
- Pack a flat small gym bag for out of town workouts and use later if needed for extra luggage when returning if shopping happens.
Protect Your Skin:
- Protect your hands and upper chest area from the sun and harsh conditions. These parts show aging as fast as the face.
- Brenda Kelly.
Quick (Instant Fix) Tip # 1
Apply A Self-Tanning Bronzer Product To Instantly Look More Fit.
Do you notice how much more fit and healthy you look in your own pictures of times you were tan than times you were not? It is a little like the slimming effect of a darker colored dress or suit.
Here's the down and dirty method for self-tanning:
- Exfoliate areas where you plan to apply first. It removes dead skin cells for an even, smooth surface with "new" skin. Cells last approx. 3 days so if they are new they will "take" the product differently than the old ones about to flake off.
- Monica Brant,
IFBB Fitness and Figure Pro/Cover Model
- Wear disposable gloves. Self-tanning bronzers that get into your cuticles won't scrub off... it has to wear off. Ditto for your palms.

It's Ok Not To Go
All The Way Down Each Finger & Toe.
| Don't: |
- Paint your face with a body product. Use a special face bronzer to avoid breakouts. Or do like us girls and skip the face and just use make up in a shade that compliments your new tan.
- Christina
- Get make-up base for a darker look. Your regular foundation won't look right. Men, you can wear foundation for a concealer. Just remember to blend.
- Bob
- Only apply to the areas that are going to show. Many of us only apply product to the body parts that will be visible. If you are wearing pants, why waste time and product on your legs? Just make sure you blend so there is no tell tale line that may look strange. Blend a touch farther than you think won't be seen. Just to be safe.

Only Apply To The Areas That Are Going To Show.
- Apply a final shading technique to your abdominals if they are going to show. After the first layer is dry, place a 1 inch line up and down right through your belly button. Blend another 3-4 inch layer along the sides of your waistline, bringing the waist in a little more where you want it only. You can even draw abdominal blocks in using shading layers with self-tanners.

Quick (Instant Fix) Tip # 2
Hair Removal For More Muscle Definition.
Did you know that any body hair, even peach fuzz can blur your muscle definition? It is a trick the lights play off our skin. This is why Bodybuilders all seem to be so shiny. Aside from the oil, they are hairless!
- Make sure your razor has a new blade. A new blade really does make a difference.
- Monica
| Don't: |
- Never shave dry.

Never Shave Dry.
- Avoid little dark pores! Wait at least 2 hours after hair removal before applying self-tanning product. This gives your pores time to close up. To really close pores, splash cold water over body and face. I mean cold. Still wait 1 hour.
- Brenda
- Alternate areas to shave every day. Only key areas need shaving every day.
- Bob
| Don't: |
- Forget to end the last stroke of the blade in the direction of the hair growth.
- Monica
- Test any chemical hair removal system (wax, creme) on a trial run before the big day. Some people are sensitive and you may need another option. If you breakout, not only will you look bad, you won't be able to apply any type of product anyway.
- Brenda
| Don't: |
- No more shaving or exfoliating; to keep color as long as possible. Just rinse, dab and moisturize.
- Christina
- Save your skin's elasticity! Stay out of the sun and tanning beds. Use the new Self-tanning bronzers. They rock!

Have You Ever Noticed
Beautiful,White Teeth?
- Go easy on your gum line. Try to brush teeth only since this can be too abrasive for gums.
- Bob
| Don't: |
- Swallow! Yuck! Although it tastes salty, there is no harm. Deal with it, just spit.
- Monica
| Do: |
- Keep baking soda in a small plastic container with a lid in your bathroom. Wash container and refill every month. Dipping your toothbrush in the box makes everything too germy and clumpy.
- Brenda
| Don't: |
- Mess with your enamel. Scrub in a circular motion, not back and fourth.
- Christina
| Do: |
- Go easy at first. Only use a couple times a week. If you have sensitive teeth, you may want to alternate this with special toothpaste made for sensitivity like Sensodine.
