It's BURNING FAT and BURNING CALORIES day!

Burning calories will help me get rid of stored fat and get a flat stomach alla Rafael Nadal.

Therefore, I might run again in  the elliptical to release tension.

I usually burn between 500-700 calories running for 1 hour.

So, if I make my calculation, I can get rid of 1 pound of fat by burning 3500 calories during the week. Burning general body fat will help me toward my weight loss goal: Get a flat belly and no longer a big stomach.

My favorite tennis player RAFAEL NADAL plays today with Marat Safin, another of my favorites, at the Rogers Masters on ATP Masters Series.  
I love watching tennis, especially if Nadal plays. 

Hey, i t will be a tough match.  VAMOS RAFA.

I get so nervous that to release tension I have to be active. 

Hence, I maximize my TV tennis watching time by exercising at the same time.  This is why today is my BURNING FAT AND BURNING CALORIES day! 

The elliptical is just waiting for me to boost my metabolism. It will help me  burn calories to get rid of stored fat, that unwanted fat around my belly.

By the way,  I took this huge bus tour photo during  the Countrywide Classic  at the Los Angeles Tennis Center-UCLA in Westwood, California.  Nadal and Federer are my 2 favorite tennis players. I admire Federer analytical thinking while playing. 

I went to see the match of James Blake v. Vincent Spadea; and Russian Marat Safin v. Hyung-Taik Lee of Korea.

Back to my Burning Fat and Burning Calories Day ...

-  Today, I did some stretching exercises. 
 
-  Yesterday, I did my weight training exercise for my upper body and arm
   exercise routine.

Nadal inspires me to work hard with my upper body, especially toning my arms.  I am working on my triceps to get rid of flabby arms.  This was my basic weight training for my arm exercise workout:
   
    a. TRICEPS OVERHEAD STRETCH 2-4 sets of 15-20 repetitions
 
    b. TRICEPS BENCH DIPS (this is one of the most effective,  
        similar to “Seated  bench dip” at the gym

    c.  SEATED ONE-ARM - Dumbbell extension 2-4 sets

    d. TWO- ARM Press with dumbbells (2-4-sets) 

    e.  DUMBBELL KICKBACK (most effective for toning triceps)

    f.  Flat Dumbbell butterfly (this is the most complete arm chest 
        exercise. For me, it is the best chest exercise workout.
        Not only targets arms, but also chest, shoulder, triceps, under 
        arms, biceps.

Nadal  has great toned arms!  Not that I want to have a muscular bicep like Nadal, but a feminine toned biceps and triceps. 

I think Rafael Nadal is the best fit sport athlete that I have seen.  This is why I admire his fitness commitment and he serves as my fitness weight traning motivation, especially  for my arms weight training.
I wonder what is his arms weight training routine.

I will review my arm exercise routine next week. 
I want to get the best arm exercise workout to tone my upper arm, especially under arm exercise.

Includes weight training, kickboxing, stretching, yoga, aerobics, exercise ball, belly dancing, etc.

I like Safin and went to see him in UCLA during the Countrywide Master Series.

Yet, when it comes to choose, NADAL is my top. No doubt about it. 

For doubles, my number one team are the Bryan Brothers! 

Now, I am preparing my lunch:

-  Italian pasta "Penne al pomodoro con basilico e Parmigiano Reggiano."

-  Una insalata caprese.

-  Fresh Fruits

-  My glass of wine "Chianti classico."  An espresso.

Buon Appetito e VAMOS NADAL!!!!!



PS:  By the way, Roger Federer won today 7-6, 7-6.  I like him too, he is my second option after RAFAEL NADAL.
