Club member Elizabeth told me about her favorite dish one day. After I discretely wiped my drool, I asked her how to make it. The variations are endless, one included corn, artichoke hearts & red peppers. I prepared a version last night after a long week. The kids had already eaten so they hovered around, patient like lions at a wildebeest watering hole, then pounced on the finished product. You can say it was a hit by the picture below. Attention carnivores- You won’t miss the meat. more »

I was looking through my Live Better Journal book that I wrote several years ago, while researching for a corporate client. I came across this heart rate guide and modified it a little for you. It helps to know your heart rate while exercising so you know if you are working hard enough to maximize results. FYI- When you do the 5 Minutes to Fitness+ workout, you will get your heart rate up to a fat burning zone. Awesome!

Waking up this morning was tough. I woke 2 hours later than I wanted and didn’t get a jump on 2012 like I had planned. As I lay in bed, thoughts crashing into my head of what I had to do, the responsibilities, tasks, goals; I started to get overwhelmed. Has this ever happened to you? No, I know it’s just me

I’m in Texas for the next 3 days and I thought a fun quiz might be appropriate while I’m traveling.
Question: When you are training (exercising), is it more important to burn calories or to build muscle?

I’m making a prediction for Susan. I think she has the makings of a great health coach. She’s is thinking all the right, and wrong things, like all successful people do. She lost another pound but it’s not enough for her. That’s a good thing. It means she’s hungry and food won’t fulfill her anymore. Read about her frustration and how she talks herself out of smashing something and instead focuses on what’s real- she’s lost 62lbs already!!!! more »

We all get a bit bored by the same ol routine now and then. It can even stop us from working out. Today, to get yourself pumped up again and back on track, set up a 5 minute circuit with your favorite activities, (couch-sitting doesn’t qualify .
Try this routine:
- 1st 5 minutes- Start with with my 5 Minutes to Fitness workout to get warmed up
- 2nd 5 minutes- Do jumprope, kickboxing or dance, or alternate all 3 switching up every 30 or 60 seconds
- 3rd 5 minutes- Do an advanced set of my 5 Minutes to Fitness workout >
- 4th 5 minutes- Do a set of your favorite yoga moves, martial arts, sprints, leg or ab exercises
This 20 minute routine will give you a total body workout and cardio, incorporate the things you like, give you choices, break up the monotony and will motivate you to find new routines. Enjoy!
Let me know how you do.
