It’s located at the back of the ilium, below its crest and stretches downwards to the greater trochanter of the femur. Functions: • The anterior part helps to flex and internally rotate the hip. • The posterior part helps to extend and externally rotate the hip. • The anterior and posterior parts working together abduct the hip and stabilize the pelvis in the coronal plane. GLUTEUS MAXIMUS The gluteus maximus is the largest, strongest, wide and thickest muscle at the surface of the buttocks. It stretches across and attaches to the iliotibial tract, a band of fibrous tissue extending from the ilium to the tibia (shinbone), and to the upper portion of the femur (thighbone). A N N A B E L L E H AY E S F I T N E S S Functions: • Is responsible for movement of the hip and thigh. • It’s major action is extension of the thigh, as in rising from a sitting or standing position, running, or climbing. GLUTEUS MINIMUS The gluteus minimus is the smallest of the glute muscles lies directly under the gluteus medius (the under booty). Its from the outer surface of the ilium, between the anterior and inferior gluteal lines, and behind, from the margin of the greater sciatic notch. Functions: • Aids movement away from the midline of the body. • Helps in the rotation of the thigh at the hip. • It stabilizes the hip and pelvis when the opposite leg is raised from the ground. A N N A B E L L E H AY E S F I T N E S S DIET & SUPPLEMENT GUIDELINES DESCRIPTION: Diet is the most important factor in successfully bringing those abdominal muscles to the surface. I suggest a general diet consisting of low fat intake, low carbohydrate consumption, and relatively high amounts of protein. Ideally you want to also avoid foods that regularly cause you to overly bloat. To get ripped abs, your dietary choices will make up about 80-90% of your overall effort. STOP DRINKING CARBONATED DRINKS: Carbonated soft drinks or pops cause the stomach to bloat and extend, which is a serious precondition for developing distended stomach, since the drinks stay uncomfortably in the stomach for a long period of time. DRINK LOTS OF WATER: WATER is the main to only thing should be drinking. You can drink calorie free drinks now and then but ideally you want to be drinking. The body is about 60% water and we are constantly losing water from our bodies like sweating, urinating, etc. There are many different opinions on how much water we should be drinking every day. The health authorities commonly recommend eight 8-ounce glasses, which equals about 2 liters, or half a gallon. COFFEE DRINKER? If you are a coffee drinker don’t worry you can still have ripped abs. You just make sure not to add too much sugar or other things into it. If you want to stop drinking coffee and replace it with a healthier option you can with green tea, lemon infused water or smoothies. A N N A B E L L E H AY E S F I T N E S S ALCOHOL: Alcohol can impair your body’s ability to digest, absorb, and store the valuable nutrients from the food you’re eating. It also stimulates your appetite and lowers your inhibitions, which can lead to overeating. You can drink every now and then or a drink or two but you can’t be drinking everyday or weekend and expect to have a lean core. It’s not worth it. SUPPLEMENTS RECOMMENDATIONS: Gold Standard Whey Protein Powder • 24 Grams of protein • 5.5 Grams of BCAA’s • 4 Grams of glutamine & glutamic acid LeanMode • • • • • Fat burning Appetite control Metabolism Energy Gluten free A N N A B E L L E H AY E S F I T N E S S Eating healthy can drastically improve your physical fitness, allow you to feel better about yourself and will do so many great things for you health. Healthy eating doesn’t mean eat only healthy meals, or give up foods you love. You just got to find healthy meal plans or recipes that may be just as good!

Remember to make your goals realistic and achievable. It’s easy to get frustrated and give up if your goals are too ambitious. There will be times where you feel like giving up but remember why you started and stay strong enough to push trough! LEARN TO LOVE IT: You cannot do or achieve something if you are not passionate about it. This lifestyle requires dedication and wanting to be in the gym in order to reach your goal. Make it fun by going with friends who will motivate you or sports that you love and can incorporate your workouts into. Remember, exercise doesn’t have to be boring, and you’re more likely to stick with a fitness program if you’re having fun. MAKE TIME TO STAY ACTIVE: A lot of peoples excuse is that they don’t have time but it’s not true. You can take 5 minutes out of your day to do a quick abs session in your bedroom. Start making fitness your daily routine. You can do so by taking the stairs than an elevator, take a walk during lunch break, etc. Sitting for long periods of time will negatively affect your health, even if you get the recommended amount of weekly activity. If you sit for several hours a day at work, aim to take regular breaks during the day to move, such as walking to the water fountain to get a drink of water or standing during phone conversations. GET A PARTNER: Find yourself someone who will motivate you times you are feeling lazy. You can workout with a friend, family member, friend of a friend, etc. Remember that you both will have the same goal, which is to get fit and healthy. For Example; I have girls who message me all the time to workout with me and I will go to the gym with them because its great interaction and motivation. Just try not to get too dependent because once they don’t feel like going one day, then you will have an excuse not to go. A N N A B E L L E H AY E S F I T N E S S REWARD YOURSELF: If pushing yourself to workout or reach your goal. It can be an external or internal reward such as new pair of workout gear, a trip to the spa, etc. After each exercise session, take a few minutes to savor the good feelings that exercise gives you. This type of internal reward can help you make a long-term commitment to regular exercise. BE FEARLESS: A few people struggle with not working out because they are afraid of what people will say but remember that other people’s opinions don’t matter. You are in the gym for YOU. You are there to work on yourself. Everybody starts somewhere so don’t get discouraged by a look or comment you someone else makes. Instead use that as motivation to get to goals even more. Prove to them and yourself that you can do it and reach the goal you want because you will! LOVE YOURSELF: Health is not only about physically working out, it’s also about mentally training your mind. Train your mind and your body will follow. Be patient with yourself and understand that you are the best project you can work on. Love your body and yourself because you are beautiful. CHANGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT: Sometimes, to stay motivated, we need to just change our environment. We’re all creatures of habit, but picking up and going to a place where we can be more productive is helpful at times. Find a gym that is you’re favourite and start from there. The energy of where you decide to work on yourself is very important. SCHEDULE Set yourself up for success by using daily planners, calendars, and reminders in your cell phone to stay organized throughout your day. Working out requires a good amount of energy. Make sure you are sleeping properly and never go to the gym with less than 8 hours of sleep!!!! Injury is not worth it. A N N A B E L L E H AY E S F I T N E S S WORKOUT TIPS POSTURE & PROPER FORM: One of the most important things whiles working out is to maintain proper form during weight lifting. If not, this could potentially result to serious injuries! When we lift heavy our body becomes misaligned which causes strains and tears in our muscles, joints and tendons. LIFT EVERY OTHER DAY: Working out 6 times a day is bad! Our muscles grow when we are resting and not using those muscle groups. I recommend having at least 2 days of recovery and relaxing. During this time, you can focus on feeding your body the right things to aid in muscle growth MIND TO MUSCLE CONNECTION: When working out, all your movements are controlled by the brain. I always tell people to take their time and focus when lifting because it will aid in building stronger muscles. When you do this, you are specifically targeting the muscles you want to contact. STRETCH BEFORE & AFTER WORKOUTS: Stretching before and after workouts decrease your changes of injury, raises your body temperature so they can be ready before your workout and stretching after will stretch out any muscle tensions to make room for more muscle to grow. FOCUS ON YOUR BREATHING: When we are exercising, proper breathing is essential and our body needs to exhale carbon dioxide which builds up in our exhausted muscles. Breathe slowly during working out, through your nose and mouth to provide more energy and remove carbon dioxide.
