Friday Fitness Tips

Do the Cardio You Love...

Doing your first cardio workout can be a little overwhelming, particularly if you're doing it at a gym. There are rows and rows of different machines to choose from and a schedule of classes you can attend. So the big question is, do you walk, row, step, or dance your way to fitness? Which is best?
The answer is, any of the above. You should do whatever you enjoy the most — just make sure you're pushing yourself and keeping your heart rate at 85 percent of maximum. Sure, some machines are more effective than others just the way some classes are more intense than others. But if you dread and avoid certain exercises, it will be harder to motivate yourself, right?
Whatever activity you decide on, make sure to keep it fresh. If you've been doing the treadmill for a while, switch to group class for a few weeks (Zumba, anyone?). Or, if you feel like you've been wearing out your spot in class, venture out of your comfort zone and check out what's happening over at the cardio machines. There are a ton of options when it comes to cardio. The important things is to keep changing it up every once in a while so that you avoid the workout plateau and keep yourself challenged and motivated.

Exercise Your Right To Bare Arms....

Exercise Your Right To Bare Arms...
By: Jillian Michaels

Looking at Hollywood's red carpet, you can tell the stars are all about developing and toning their upper arms. Even First Lady Michelle Obama proudly shows her fantastic biceps regularly. Buff arms can be yours too! What you need is a move that will make what I call the "belly" of the biceps really pop! Ready? Get in the right mind-set — it's time to concentrate!
 

Concentration Curls
  1. Hold a dumbbell in your right hand and sit on the edge of a bench or a chair with your feet a few inches wider than your hips.
  2. Lean forward from your hips, and place your right elbow against the inside of your right thigh, just behind your knee. The weight should hang down near the inside of your ankle.
  3. Place your left palm on top of your left thigh. Exhale and bend your right arm, curling the dumbbell three-quarters of the way up toward your shoulder.
  4. Hold for a beat, then inhale slowly, lowering the weight, and repeat. Do a complete set (10 to 15 reps) on one arm, then switch to the other.
The concentration curl really helps isolate the biceps by taking any assistance from the back and shoulders totally out of the equation. Be careful not to cheat by leaning back for help when you are lifting the weight.

What to Do When You're Starving Before Bed

I'm Hungry and It's Bedtime......What Should I do?

Here at Beachbody, we're always drilling the "no eating for 3 hours before bedtime" rule into your head and, sure enough, it's important not to go to bed with undigested food in your stomach, especially carbohydrates and fat. So what about those nights when you're so hungry that if you don't eat, you know it will affect your sleep?
The answer is a protein shake. Usually, truly feeling hungry is a sign indicating a lot of muscle breakdown. When you have muscle breakdown you need protein, especially at night, which is when your muscles do most of their recovering. So if you are famished, a small protein shake with no added ingredients, like fruit or milk, will not only allow you to sleep but speed up your recovery process as well.

Shakeology is a good protein shake to drink. Buy It Now!

Cleaning my coffee maker....

Ok yesterday I went to make coffee and I noticed my coffee maker needed a good cleanin'! It was gross!!! I have to have my coffee every morning and get my motor runnin'. Now I could have cleaned it with vinegar but I HATE the smell of that stuff.... It makes me want to puck!!!! I also hate using chemicals on my coffee maker because I make coffee and drink it. Who wants to drink HOT chemicals???? Not me!!! So I used my Shaklee products on it. I used Shaklee's Hand Dish Wash Liquid Concentrate and Shaklee's Scour Off Heavy-Duty Paste with Shaklee's Super Microfiber Dish Sponge, to clean my coffee maker. Take a look at the before and after photos.

Rest and Recovery!!! It's Key.....

Sunday is a day of REST!!! If you have been working out all week then Sunday {Day 7} needs to be a recovery day. When it comes to training and working out, recovery is everything. So remember, day 7 is rest and recovery day. Let your body recovery! Now this does not mean you can lay on the couch and do nothing......This means don't workout, NO lifting weights, NO running, NO cardio!!! Light workout is ok! You can go for a walk, just don't add weights or speed walk. Maybe use day 7 to do yoga and stretch and relax! Your body will think you for a recovery day. This is important for RUNNERS!!!! If you are training for a 5k, 10k or marathon, then take this advises. 6 days on, 7th day off!!!! This is the key to any workout program. Recovery drinks are important too!!! Proper post-workout nutrition is a key factor in how quickly and completely your body will recover, adapt, and benefit from exercise. If you would like more info on this please leave a comment with your email and I will get back with you on this. Have a wonderful Sunday!!!

My Review on EatSmart's Bathroom Scale ~& Giveaway~



I had an opportunity to review a bathroom scale from EatSmart Products. This scale is so sleek and looks great in any bathroom. It operates as a basic body weighting scale. No special programming is required. Just step on and it tells you your weight. My kids love it. No tapping is required either. It has two measurement units; pounds or kilograms. Having a good scale is a great tool in your journey to healthy and fitness. 



So first you select your desired measurement unit, then place the scale on a hard, flat surface {carpeted or uneven floors can negatively effect the accuracy of your readings}. Now if you are using the scale for the first time you need to initialize the scale by placing the scale down for the first time or moving your unit you must auto-calibrate the scale. To do this place both feet on the center of the glass platform and stand still. Your weight will appear on the LCD. It will blink three times when your final weight has been calculated. Step off your scale and it will reset to 0.0 and turn off automatically. 
The Features:
  1. EatSmart "Step-On" Technology - Get instant readings! No more tapping scale to turn on.
  2. Large 3.5" LCD Display with cool blue backlight- Easy to read from any distance.
  3. 4 High Precision Sensors - Consistent and accurate measurement
  4. 3 Measurement Modes: Pounds / Kilos / Stones
  5. Graduation Increments of .2 lbs. / .1kg
  6. Sturdy Tempered Glass Top with large 12" x 13" Platform
  7. Max Weight: 400 lbs / 180 kgs 
  8. Auto Calibrated; Includes 4 AAA batteries
EatSmart Bathroom Scales are super accurate, easy to use and uniquely designed to perfectly match the decor in any home. Their scales are engineered to the highest precision standards to provide you with consistently reliable products. Stop guessing your weight and let their scales help you get serious about your fitness and weight loss goals.
