ASHLEY BORDEN SAYS

I’ve always said that when I hit the jackpot and have a surplus in savings, one of the first things I’ll do is hire ASHLEY BORDEN to be my everyday personal trainer. I’ve been lucky enough to have a few sessions with her in the past — and she’s amazing and phenom, hilarious and so fun! She’s gorgeous (with the whitest of smiles) and is a strong lean machine. (Her body and her vibe serve as her own best PR!)

Ashley leans and buffs all the best in the business. Ryan Gosling, Christina Aguilera, Reese Witherspoon... The ones that get paid to look good … pay her to look good.

Lucky for all of us, she now has a new DVD / Download (which was voted Fitness magazine’s #1 2015 Fitness DVD of 2015) called 6 Weeks To Sculpted. Thank you for democratizing health and A-list training for the rest of us!

Always willing to gift her wisdom, I asked Ashley what her favorite fitness trends are of this year. Consider this your free session.

HERE ARE ASHLEY’S TOP PICKS FOR THIS YEAR’S FITNESS TRENDS:

(H.I.I.T.) HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING

“I love this type of training! HIIT is awesome because it revs up the metabolism! (It allows for the EPOC effect which means you can burn calories for up to 38 hours after your workout.) Interval training is an incredible way to lean out, build strength and strengthen the heart all in one work out. The hormone release from these types of workouts is also awesome for the body.”

“Your intensity during the workout will make ALL of the difference — and you can do short effective workouts in minimal time with great results. Make sure you are including big muscle groups (squats, push ups, pull ups) to maximize your calorie burn and “hit” the entire body at FULL capacity! My New DVD 900 CALORIE BURN is perfect for those types of workouts. There are four 25 minute workouts with minimal equipment you can do anywhere.”

BODY WEIGHT TRAINING AND TABATA WORKOUTS

“Training using just your body weight is not only a great full body toner — but try pairing body weight training with Tabata workouts and you will torch calories! Tabata protocol is 8 rounds of 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. To truly get the full effect of Tabata workouts, you must give 100% of effort during your 20 seconds.”

Ashley’s example of a Full Body Tabata Body Weight Workout:

8 Rounds

20 seconds of work/ 10 Seconds of rest.

Alternating reverse lunges with hands interlaced behind head.
Push ups (if you cant do push ups hold top of a push up)
Squat plyo jumps
Bicycle Abs

There are more and more Tabata classes popping up around town. (The Lock Box – Los Angeles offers great 20 minute Tabata classes!)

GUT AND DIGESTIVE HEALTH

Ashley tells us she has been a long time user of UDOS OIL 3,6,9 for years and swear by it.

“EFA’s are super helpful for intestinal health and digestion. Along with promoting lean muscle tissue, quicker recovery time from training, reducing inflammation and soft silky skin.”

Based on Ashley’s recommendation, this has become a staple in my diet as well. I use it on salads and veggies instead of olive oil — or I add it to my smoothies!

ERGOTRON

“You don’t need to invest in costly standing [desk] treadmills for thousands of dollars. Save your cardio for lunch breaks and after/before work. I am a fan of sit/stand desks! The Ergotron is super user friendly and a fraction of the cost of standing treadmills. I am a believer in standing and sitting throughout the day to save your body, promote better digestion and circulation.

ROLLING OUT

I know it’s not a competition — but I swear she kickstarted the Myofascial Release trend. She’s been implementing this movement years before the rolling out classes have been popping up in gym classes everywhere!

It increases metabolic rate, reduces the appearance of cellulite, reduces inflammation and increases flexibility!
