Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: I really enjoyed bodypump and bodyflow before I had to stay at home with my kids, and I discovered that their product is only available to clubs, and for training instructors.  I have heard great things about FunkyM FuelSystems; are they anything like those other workouts?
A: Absolutely I am trained in, and taught bodypump and bodyflow for 10 years.  I designed my DVDs with people like you in mind!  Get better versions of your favorite workouts from your own home!  TRY FLEXFUEL AND SOULFUEL TODAY!

Q: Can men and women alike achieve their fitness goals with the Funky-M Fuel Systems DVD’s?
A: Absolutely! My workouts are designed to be functional, challenging and un-complicated, to guarantee personal success, and that hot body we all crave!

Q:  If I purchase FlexFuel, can I do it with just dumb-bells, and no step?

A:  YES!  You can follow myself with all of the equipment, or, you can follow my assistant Gill with only a mat and 2 sets of dumb-bells.  I recommend a set of 5-7 pound and a set of 10-15 pound weights for women, and a set of 10-15, plus a set of 15-30 for men.  If after doing the workout with just dumb-bells for a while, you may want to change it up and purchase a step and a bar.  The bar is 18-25 pounds for women and heavier for men.

Q:  Where can I purchase the equipment for the Funky-M FuelSystems DVD Series?

A: Check out any number of fitness equipment supply stores in your area.  I recommend Fitter International online for all of the necessary toys!  If you are in the Calgary area, physique fitness has everything that you'll need.

Q: How can I reduce the fat around my middle, or any other specific area of the body?
A: Spot reduction is not possible! The only way to lose fat is through reduced caloric intake and exercise. Cardiovascular training is an excellent way to reduce fat, and should be done 5-7 times a week, for a minimum of 20 minutes. Muscle training is a wonderful way to give the body that ‘shape’ we all crave, and muscle also requires more energy, and therefore will rev up your metabolism, so that you are burning more calories at rest.

Q: As a woman, I want to have great shape, and know that I must do some muscular training to achieve that, but I don’t want to “bulk-up”. Will workouts like Flex-Fuel cause me to bulk up?

A: Absolutely not! Women have far less of the hormone “Testosterone” than men, and therefore, doing a workout involving high repetitions will result in a lean, sculpted shape, not bulk! Remember, if you lose weight through cardiovascular exercise and diet alone, you may be thin, but have no shape! Strength Training gives us that “WOW” factor!

Q: After having children, my body will never be the same, right?
A: Of course NOT! As women, child birth is the most natural thing that our bodies do, and our bodies are designed to snap back, but, of course, this requires regular exercise, and a healthy eating plan.
