Trend Alert: intenSati

By: Lindsay Dunlap

When it comes to getting into great shape, our minds can be our biggest obstacle. Negative thoughts creep into our heads, telling us we're tired or out of shape, and zap us of our strength before we even step foot on a treadmill. Sculpting classes tone muscles and increase metabolism, but it's hard to maintain energy and motivation when floor-to-ceiling mirrors and bad lighting invite our critical minds to focus on our saggy butts and nonexistent waistlines. Yoga, on the other hand, is great for quieting our overactive minds and replacing irrational, destructive thoughts with productive gratitude and inspiration, but it rarely offers the intense fat burning many of us want from a workout.

Fortunately, a fast track to an amazingly fit body now exists through one energizing, life-transforming workout called intenSati, a choreographed routine of strength, cardio and balance moves that you perform while chanting a series of affirmations that nearly guarantee you will reach your full potential physically and mentally.

"Whatever you put your attention on will grow stronger in your life," says Deepak Chopra in The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. Negative thoughts make you weak, while positive thoughts make you strong. Since you can't think two thoughts at the same time, intenSati's affirmations "act as a lock or a seal, keeping other words and negativity from seeping into your mind and making you weak," says intenSati creator Patricia Moreno. "If you hold words like power, courage, love, yes, gratitude and appreciation in your mind, your body will go strong."
