Hi Victoria, I am in immediate need of help. I hurt myself and I stopped everything. I am fine now, but lazy. I get up every day wanting to work on my body but I get busy and never get to it. I get angry with myself for not exercising and eating right.

Days turned into weeks and now my arms are so flabby that I hide them.
I want to have pretty arms and stop beating myself up.

Can you help me? I don’t like myself and I want to be saved from beating myself up. Please show me an example of what you do for motivation and for your arms? I like the shape of your arms, they are toned by not huge muscles.

Thank you.
~Mao Linn



I understand your anger and frustration. I have many clients who have had injuries and had to get back to their training regardless of their motivation.

That is really what it’s all about. Don’t wait until you feel like it to get back to it, just get started doing something today that will give you the energy and body you want.

Career Notes
Michael Dunleavey, 6’9” 210lbs.
One of the most versatile players in the nation ... named third team preseason All-ACC and the league's Most Versatile Player by Lindy's ... Made the 2000 USA Basketball World Championship for Young Men Qualifying Team that earned a silver medal in Brazil last summer ... Started all five games for the U.S. team ... Averaged 7.2 points and 2.2 rebounds for the U.S. squad.

One of my favorite College Basketball teams to watch is Duke University Under the guidance of Coach Krzyzewski., aka Coach K. He is not only phenomenal coach on and off the court Coach K. sees himself as a family man first, a teacher second and a basketball coach third. Coach K is a walking legend when it comes to instilling motivation in others.

Here’s a favorite quote of his that I use and follow!

“With accomplishments comes confidence and with confidence comes belief. It has to be in that order”

We have been taught to just believe. Belief can become stronger when you have measurable results.

Do something, see it working and get motivated to stay with it. That is combining belief with faith in action.

I had the privilege of training and working with one of Coach K’s protégée’s, Mike Dunleavey Jr. Mike is driven dedicated and forever working with one objective in mind… Improvement.

He is currently on the roster for the NBA Indiana Pacers. He was the one of their top players last season. He is out right now recovering from knee surgery to repair a torn ACL on his right knee. He is going to come back even stronger now. He will not let his past injuries stop him from getting back in the game when he is well.

As you work towards your ultimate goal, you must keep your mind focused on your objective and take action.

Mike is now rehabbing his knee and keeping his mind on his goal. When Mike hits the floor again on game day, everything else must give way to the objective: Winning.

You must treat your commitment to your body and your goal the same way.
You may not have thousands of people watching when you are in your zone of training, but that doesn't mean your performance is less important. Success is not about whose watching, it's about how you're improving.

The best way to get back into your training is to work on it daily. I have written out the plans for shaping and toning your thighs in my Thin Thighs Program, so here is an example of what I do when I want to Quick Start to toning up a body part.

When it comes to shaping and sculpting arms, here’s what I do for my biceps and triceps.

It’s the philosophy that Madonna’s Trainer uses also. Her arms are definitely sculpted! Do this program and your arms will be tight and toned too!

Quick Start Arm Sculpting Program

* Tuesday - Before 50 minute Cardio Train Triceps 3 different exercises 3 sets of 15 reps

Just get going. Just start today. Then continue day by day to work towards your goal. Give no energy to doubt, past problems or perceived failures.

Focus on objective and nothing else. Work towards incremental improvement.

Don't give up! Stay in the game.

"It is a miracle that I am standing before you wearing these skimpy red Nike shorts with out a hint of self-consciousness or shame. Two years ago I would have never dreamed of this day. As a matter of fact, it was exactly two years ago that I found myself in a department store dressing room bare to my underwear and in shock that my once “claim to fame” once beautiful legs had gone sour---to cottage cheese thighs that is. I stood there in shock and I realized that I would probably never see my legs thin, defined, or sculpted and free from the ripples, hills and valleys that are common to legs that are a victim of cellulite. “What a mess I am”, I thought to myself and that’s when the last ounce of self-hated filled my low self-esteem cup to over-flow.

Victoria's amazing Thin Thighs Program literally caused the cellulite to VANISH from my legs! Now, my legs are smooth, silky, strong and defined. I have the confidence to wear shorter skirts, and yes, these fabulous red Nike shorts! In addition, her Vertical Training techniques have given me a slimming dancer’s body. Her program saved my life, and now I am helping others experience the same results. If you haven’t made up your mind yet to make a u-turn from thunder thighs to thighs that make men take a double look, then perhaps my success story will inspire you to have hope once more. Enjoy!"
