Seven Secrets to a

Sexy Silhouette “Ok, they have been able to send a man to the moon for quite some time now, so is there something I am missing? You would think they would invent ‘sculpt a woman’ where you take a pill and voila!... Perfection, “said a friend of mine recently.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that song and dance… seriously, I used to think the same thing!

I thought about it so much in my fitness career that I have come to this conclusion; we already have everything we need, to have anything we want in this life. The question is how badly do we want it?

Well I must’ve wanted it pretty bad because, after spending 30 years in a duo career as a Merrill Lynch Financial Analyst by day and Fitness Guru by night, I decided to drop finances and stay with fitness. Perhaps it had to do with something that over which I had control..

So today, from all that I have learned and all that I will learn, this is my best answer to that question...

First of all, we DO have pills to make us thin and surgery to fix abstract features or shapes. As we get older we still have pills to fix those aches and pains and diapers to wear when we cough. But all of those things have such physical and emotional side effects that we really never regain the youthfulness we crave. Instead we become crippled and servants to their promises.

be obese. Unless of course, they happen to come in contact with planet GOODTOBEFAT where it’s part of the social culture; they are usually welcome to beam on over.

So I thought maybe Star Trek is the generation that reaps the benefits of the latest scientific research on the human species encompassing body, mind and spirit.

I know that may sound quite far off to you, but is it really? I know that just like the scientists who got together to launch a rocket is not so far off to our own brains amazing power.

If this is at our fingertips, have we just become extremely lazy in hopes that someone will also think for us???.... Yes, I believe so.

If you’re one of those who want to take your own destiny into your own hands then I have a few secrets to share with you that will get you on your way.

The Seven Secrets to a Sexy Silhouette

1

If there are a slew of ‘human’ brains in one room to figure out how to send a rocket to the moon, can we possibly entertain the fact that one individual brain can potentially exhibit at least a ‘smidgeon’ of that kind of brain power alone?

I like Star Trek….a show about the future. Funny how besides their beastly and widely accepted facial differences, none of them appear to have a weight problem. Sure there are a few attitude problems within Starship Enterprise, but no one really seems to

14 | RSF MAGAZINE • rsfmagazine.com

Secret number One: Understand that the brain controls the muscles, both voluntary and involuntary. Most of our brain functions in ‘automatic’ or involuntary fashion... Only a small part is used for voluntary or manual control. Loss of “brain connection” means loss of body control. Practice a perpetuation of high quality, purposeful movements with a clear focus and happy thoughts.

This practice will soon disengage the old neuropath ways which no longer serve you. Soon the new connections will lead you straight towards your hearts desires.

2

Secret number Two: Know what upholds you. What do you hold true and dear to your whole being? What motivates you, gives you inspiration and hope? Always keep it in the forefront of your

thoughts and never ever let it slip away. If you don’t, you will have more bumps in the road, end up on some side street and will have to start all over again. This is what makes you UNIQUE and will help guide your true purpose in this life.

Secret number Three: You must know where you stand; outside as well as inside your body. Do you know where your spine is? Behind you like a thin broomstick or in the middle of your body like an apple core?

How does that help you stack up? Understanding proprioception will help you move gracefully and purposefully. I see a lot of women walking around with a heavy step, not knowing really how to carry themselves from the inside out. This is crucial for an authentic walk, talk and a riveting presence.

3

4

Secret number Four: Limit what you verbalize. Know how to articulate your thoughts with eloquence and great meaning. No unnecessary babble, its way too exhausting and you must save your energy for your passion. Always accept the opportunity to listen before you speak.

Secret number Five: Accept all that you are and then you won’t be waiting for others to accept you. We carry ourselves according to how we think. Choose wisely. Think only confidence, gratefulness, positive, happy and interesting.

Secret number Six: Move forward in your thoughts, never backwards. Encourage the good neuropath ways in your brain. This will set you up for a lifetime of optimal movement and unlimited personal achievement. Practice your voluntary movements, simple every day movements with mindfulness. The more you practice purposeful movements with a clear intention, focused and happy, the higher quality your movement and actions.

Secret number Seven: The last and most important secret to a sexy silhouette is… you guessed it; a complete understanding of you, your true core, your authentic self. If you don’t have a clue how to maintain a well-toned inner core and pelvic floor, you’re in a canoe without a paddle. Why? Because if you work on discovering the power of your inner core and the gifts a strong pelvic floor contains, then secrets one through six will be a piece of cake.

The inner core and pelvic floor, an involuntary muscle group is under a different neurologic control than your voluntary muscles. To access this part of your brain requires focused intentional movement with a clear image.

You cannot change your body without first changing your brain.

We cannot look at an old concept in a new way until we are shown how. Most people do not know they need help with their core until noticeable outcomes surface, like protruding lower abs, leaking or incontinence, falling organs, back pain and decreased sexuality, depression, lack of hope and indifference.

The pelvic floor and inner core fire together. They activate involuntarily and in unison. The pelvic floor plays a crucial role for a coordinated triggering of all movement. It is key in shaping your body from the inside out. It is the ‘rigging’ that connects your inner core to your outer core. It increases your ability to move with efficiency and grace by automatically putting your joints into an injury free position and ready for dynamic movement.

The pelvic floor changes your posture and alignment by pulling everything up and in. This in itself creates a more toned silhouette, perky bum and flat tummy. It holds up your internal organs taking the pressure off of your joints. You become lighter on your feet, and once again access the feeling of your youthfulness.

Everything starts working better starting with your brain, improving clarity, focus, and attitude. You become increasingly mobile, independent and free from fad diets, pills, pads and surgeries.

There is no limit to our brain and body capacity once you understand how they work together!

Star Trek Enterprise has learned the ultimate in brain/body connection. As they have seemed to streamline the efforts of maintaining health and vitality. It’s only a matter of time, awareness and integration before we also jump on board the Starship Enterprise with our own silhouette.

The sexy part? Oh, you already have that... you just have to believe it yourself.

Self- confidence, a sexy silhouette, positive attitude, timely coordinated and efficient movement will be riveting to all you meet, but by that point... you won’t care.

I will help you on your journey to experience the secret to your beautiful sexy silhouette from the inside out.

And together we will rock the world! La Dolce Vita! ~ Kathleen Pagnini www.KathleenPagnini.com

WILSEY ASSET MANAGEMENT

POINT YOUR GAZE AWAY FROM TARGET FUNDS My clients often ask me how to invest their 401(k) at work. We can’t move out of their 401(k) because they are still employees of that company, but I do look at their options as a service to my clients and give my opinion of where they should invest their 401(k) contributions.

One type of fund I’ve never recommended is target funds — funds where the asset mix becomes more conservative as you get closer to retirement.

In 2001 these funds had just $12 billion in them, and as of 2011 they have grown to $376 billion. This was another one of Wall Street’s great ideas to help you invest your

16 | RSF MAGAZINE • rsfmagazine.com

money so they could make more in fees.

A recent paper released from Research Affiliates states this is a bad

idea based on its research, which simulated performance over the past 141 years. The research concluded that a typical target date fund strategy would have yielded on average less than a constant 50-50 stock bond portfolio.

Also, a more aggressive portfolio, or the inverse of a target portfolio, did better than both strategies. The reason being is as you get closer to retirement, your portfolio is much larger, so 10 percent of $250,000 is $25,000, far better than 5 percent of $250,000, or $12,500.

My feeling has been, and always will be, just because people are older they should not be penalized for that and have to put their long-term money into more conservative investment when stocks are trading at good levels. When stocks become pricey, sell some off.

I know this takes a lot more work for financial advisers than to just sell you a fund or come up with some silly asset allocation program. It takes real research and knowledge about what people are paying for something, but it will pay off for clients in the long run.

WILSEY ASSET MANAGEMENT 10670 TREENA STREET SUITE 201 SAN DIEGO, CA 92131 (858) 546-4306 BRENT@WILSEYASSETMANAGEMENT.COM

For those who are currently in target funds, think about what is happening now: Your fund is selling stocks off in the portfolio when they are trading at 10-13 times earnings and buying bonds at all-time record highs, when the 10-year Treasury is paying 1.7 percent or so.

Remember, when interest rates go up, bonds go down, and that means your portfolio will go down as you near retirement or, worse yet, are in retirement. If you or someone you know is in these target funds, I would highly recommend you rethink your strategy or feel free to contact me.

Lighting is featured to make an artistic statement while providing illumination.

Hand-made in Venice Italy, the Murano light fixture glows upon the Indian silk shade as a towel-warmer and adjustable TV complete the ultimate pampering experience.

You would not think so if they told you about it, but over-scaled furnishings, bold patterns, silk fabric combined with metallic leather, Art Deco chairs paired with an English sofa set under an enormous mirror in a heavily-carved frame, and elegant console tables, do indeed live in a perfect harmony in this room.

A theatrical atmosphere, result of Dayan’s former career as London & Hollywood TV Set Designer, is apparent in the living room. The walls, painted in metallic pearl, are draped from end-to-end, and from floor-to-ceiling in a sheer fabric that’s back-lit with an LED strip to provide continuously changing colors and hues for every mood and function.

Set under a glorious tent, and made in Morocco, are a pair of plush sofas, carved chairs in colorful stripped fabric and a dining table, placed on an all-weather rug. This is one of the owner’s favorite rooms in the house, a topic for discussions and praises by the guests, and unforgettable experience

ost and technological advancement are concepts that can be rather illusory while discussing private aviation. An attempt to define the most expensive private jet is in and of itself a red herring. Personal aircraft are still com-

modities meant to be tailor-fit to need and purpose creating a wildly variable degree in price difference between private jets. To simplify the selection process there are many manufacturer-approved outfitters who offer a limited choice of cabin layouts and arrangements, often released for sale with only the factory flight systems and electronics. These configurations are commonplace, and dutiably so as this process saves time providing practical and economical solutions to client needs, although aircraft that arrive in this flavor are hardly the most expensive toys on the block.

If your ultimate goal is to abandon sense and reason to own the most eccentric, expensive and technologically advanced personal jet on the planet, you might consider a closed-door meeting with Ian Waitz, Randy Babbitt and George Lucas about a Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental redesign and retrofit. Otherwise in the scope of practicality, you may be better off selecting from the following five aircraft, suitable as both relatively turnkey and easily manageable, though will hardly leave you wanting (listed in ascending order by price): Airbus A318 Elite, Bombardier Global Express XRS, Embraer Lineage 1000, Boeing BBJ 737-700, and Gulfstream G650. Please note that these prices are estimates and may vary depending on cabin configuration, inclusion or exclusion of additional equipment, or brokerage and outfitter services not mentioned in this article.

Bombardier’s Global Express XRS can travel a maximum range of 6,150 nautical miles with a top cruise speed of 590 knots, making it the second quickest private jet in this class and price range. Costing $46 Million, the XRS can also reach a maximum cruising altitude of 51,000 feet where there is less competing air traffic and the winds are more favorable. Its cabin height is 6.25 ft, while having a 99.4 foot exterior length and 94 foot wing-span. Controlled by a Rockwell Collins ProLine Fusion flight control system, this aircraft’s twin Rolls-Royce BR710 A2-20 produce a combined 29,500 pounds of thrust.

Costing $49 Million, the Embraer Lineage 1000 can travel a maximum distance of 4,500 nautical miles before refueling. It can fly at a 41,000 foot altitude and has a 542 knot maximum cruising speed. Creating a combined 40,000 pounds of thrust, the Lineage 1000 is affixed with two GE CF34-10E7-B power-plants. Honeywell provides their Primus Epic avionics system as the nerve center of this aircraft. This is the longest private jet in our comparative selection having a nose-to-tail length of 118.92 feet and a 94.25 foot wing-span, while the interior of the cabin stands an average 6.68 feet tall.

The Boeing BBJ 737-700 is priced with an average base configuration at $52 Million. Its twin CFM International CFM56-7 engines produce an astounding 54,600 pounds of total thrust, while only managing to achieve a top cruising speed of 521 knots at 41,000 feet. This aircraft’s clear focus is overall economics as it can travel up to 6,135 nautical miles non-stop. Its cabin measures 7.03 feet tall, and the exterior length stretches to 110.33 feet with a 117.42 foot wing-span. The cockpit in the BBJ 737-700 is furnished with a Rockwell Collins flight control system.

Even among these five private options, there is no clear overall winner by price-point or features. Each may very well be the appropriate choice depending on need and intended use. The XRS and the G650 are as close as they come in terms of ability and size. While comparing the two, the G650

is only about fifteen-percent better with a heftier price tag.

If you’ve no time nor the interest to conspire with Mr. Lucas about something new and space age, any one of these private jets will draw extreme envy and awe no matter where you land it.

The new G650 by Gulfstream tops our comparative list costing an average of $58 Million. This aircraft does not tout its price on name-sake alone, as it’s also the best performing jet in this class. Two Rolls-Royce BR725 A112 turbofans create 32,200 pounds of combined thrust giving the G650 its ability to travel up to 7,000 nautical miles with a max cruising speed of 611 knots. Like the XRS, this Gulfstream also has a top flight altitude of 51,000 feet. Gulfstream’s PlaneView II avionics system monitors and controls this personal jet. It has a 6.42 foot interior cabin height while measuring 99.76 feet in overall length and 99.58 feet across the wings.

Massimo Dutti, Winter Coat

W

atch the temperature drop and be excited, its time to go coat shopping. Leather is hot, wool is never out and cotton and fur are fair game. If you ask me, wool, collared, double-breasted, knee length and made to complement any shape is golden this season. My personal pick is Massimo Dutti’s winter coat, in white, black, or brown. It compliments any outfit; it can be casual for daytime or classy and sassy in the evening. Worn open and layered underneath with your favorite cashmere sweater with a metallic silver skirt is perfect.

Burberry, The Britain

T

ick, tock, Burberry’ s new fine-jewelry watches collection “The Britain”, sets the right mood for the holiday season. This timeless piece meets elegance and function; its mixture of bling and hand-stitched leather balances yesterday’s tradition with today’s innovation. “The Britain” derives its inspiration from Burberry’s iconic trench coats and delivers them in a similar color palette. Craftsmanship, detail and the spirit of Britain cannot be missed.

My favorite is the soft pink leather band, with a boom of sparkle.
