A client will say ‘I still feel fat’ because you don’t actually see that you’re changing, so it helps. Anna Kaiser More Quotes by Anna Kaiser More Quotes From Anna Kaiser Everyone has a different opinion when it comes to caffeine during pregnancy. I work full time, and with the extreme exhaustion pregnancy brings, I need a little boost a couple of times a day. On days when I can't stomach coffee, green tea has also proven to be very helpful and soothing. Anna Kaiser daycoffeeworktime As I get older, I think about the quality of my life and a balanced way to enjoy that. That's true wellness - being well from inside out. Anna Kaiser my-lifeenjoyqualitylife Dance classes are not designed to be workouts - they're designed to teach skill. Anna Kaiser dance-classesskillteachdance If I have my breakfast after my workout, I'll do a shaker with whey protein, chia, greens powder, and maca. When I get out, I'll put ice in the shaker with coconut water, shake it, and have it for breakfast. Anna Kaiser coconutproteinwaterbreakfast Caffeine is hard on an empty system, so I try not to do it unless it's to get my heart rate up. If you drink caffeine 15 minutes before the workout, it can make it more effective. So I'll do tea or coffee after breakfast. Anna Kaiser youcoffeehearttea There's nothing that helps clear my mind and improve my mood more than sweating in a room with my friends to some amazing new music and feeling stronger and taller every time I walk out.

I don't think anyone understands how important it is. If you have a choice where you've only been sleeping five or six hours and can sleep an extra hour or work out, sleep an extra hour. Anna Kaiser thinkyouworksleep The most important tip is to find a workout that you love - one that you're excited to go to. And do it with a group of friends. That's one of the reasons I created Happy Hour. It's effective, but it's also really fun to dance together under a disco ball. Anna Kaiser youdancetogetherlove I love giving myself and my clients gold stars every day that they've completed a workout - it feels really good. Anna Kaiser daygoodmyselflove Workouts, for me, are more about stress relief and having more energy to do the things I need to do. That's a much healthier way of approaching exercise. All of those other things will come if you commit to it. It really is about being a happy person. Anna Kaiser meyoustresshappy I wake up in the morning and drink my Essentia water first. I keep a liter by my bed. If I get up in the middle of the night, I can just grab it. I try to drink a liter before 10 A.M. The water rehydrates me after sleeping for eight hours.

Start with deep diaphragmatic breathing to reengage and reconnect with your abdominals. Anna Kaiser deepstartstrengthwork Cardio should remain low-impact at first. You can gradually kick up the intensity. Interval training is a great way to incorporate short bouts of strength and cardio efficiently, too. Anna Kaiser greatyoutrainingstrength I love working out at AKT. I will jump into one of my instructor's classes, hold a secret session with friends, or jam it out with my team, five days per week, 60-90 minutes each day. Anna Kaiser dayfriendsteamlove When I'm traveling, I always make sure to fit in a good daily AKTread session. And, of course, a day off every week.
