This is one of those salty sweet combos that I crave. Instead of stopping at a local fast food chain to pick up an egg sandwich, I make my own healthy version at home. It’s even more tasty ( in my opinion of course), has fewer calories, and can be packed up for a road trip. Not [...]

You don’t need a treadmill or an elliptical machine to get in a good cardiovascular workout. Try this while watching your favorite show this week: 1 minute of Jumping Jacks 1 minute of Jogging on the spot with high knees————————> 30 seconds of Shooting Hoops As if you were tossing a basket ball into a [...]

As you know, I’m all about trying to eat healthy in the quickest and most efficient way possible. I don’t want to feel like I have to do a ton of extra work just to put good food in my stomach. On a busy day, I want it to be as easy as stopping at Mc Donald’s or boiling [...]

I feel silly telling you about crunches. Everyone knows what a crunch is! But when I learnt how to do them correctly, I really felt the difference. I’m obsessed with saying “Slice your belly button with your ribs”, and now you can be too! This is how I believe a crunch should be done. Try it tonight. Trust me, you’ll [...]

Let’s build a strong foundation! What do I mean when I say activate your core? Stand doing nothing. Place your thumb in your belly button and lie your palm flat on your tummy so that your fingers are pointing toward your lower abdomen. From the tips of your fingers, pull in and up using your deep stomach muscles. This [...]

I always have the best of intentions when it comes to Yoga. I know how good it is for me. I do. But I have so much trouble getting myself to do it. I just find it long, slow and boring. In truth, I can’t quiet my mind. I guess that’s really the whole purpose [...]

I keep a lot of staples in my house.  Two of the many things I always have in my freezer are: a bag of shrimp and a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables. I guess I figure – if I have easy access to healthy stuff, and I have quick and easy ways to prepare them- [...]

Starbucks is now selling something called a Morning Bun. It’s taunting me. So, I’m whipping up a batch of home made muffins with lots of cinnamon in them to see if it can curb my Morning Bun craving. Please work (fingers crossed as there are 3 Starbucks walking distance from my house!). These are yummy. [...]

Yup! Let’s be 7 again and break out the jump rope. It’s nuts, but what we did as children without even giving it a second thought could be the single most beneficial form of cardiovascular activity! 10 minutes of jump rope is almost equivalent to double that in running! Jump rope uses practically every muscle in your body. It’s an incredible way [...]
