Fall into Shape

fall leaves

Fall is by far my favorite time of the year.  And since I’ve been spending more time on the east coast recently, I’m getting the chance to experience some REAL fall weather!  The only downfall to the colder weather for me is that I’m not always as motivated to work out.  Thank goodness I’ve come to learn that I’m not the only one who needs a little bit more of a push at this time of the year!

There are a lot of great bodies in Hollywood, but my friend Elizabeth Morrell is one of the MOST fit people I know….I’m mean, the woman actually has an EIGHT-pack…and an incredible story of how she got there. She’s also a fitness trainer and  the star of her own tv show Ms. Fit One.  So, I figured we could all learn a thing or two about keeping in shape at this time of the year from her. Here’s what she had to say:

Elizabeth Morrell

I am the new kid on the block, literally. I recently moved to Charlotte, North Carolina from Southern California where it is sunny all year long. I can ride my bike outside in any season, the weather is always beautiful – however Charlotte, not so much. I am not accustomed to this cold weather, yes, I said COLD…. to me, but cool to the natives. I guess I can’t stay bundled up under my warm blanket on my big comfy couch, I must find ways to stay in shape in cool weather.

It doesn’t matter if you are already in shape or trying to lose weight, here are a few great workouts for fall season. Spin class, yes, I still must get my ride on. Maybe I can’t ride with the wind blowing in my face but I can still get in my jumps, hills and sprints in a spin class. Spinning is one of the best ways to burn calories without all the pressure on your knees. You can burn up to 1,000 calories in a one-hour class.

spinning1

I really don’t enjoy Yoga, I said it!! But it is an essential practice for the mind, body and spirit – though I admit I am a seasonal Yogi. When it’s cold outside, I seek warmth and why not get a good workout in a controlled heated environment. Hot Yoga calls my name in the fall. Yoga is so necessary for not only your body but your mind. It is a great way to increase strength, gain flexibility and tone your body as well as keep your mind centered and focused, all in one nice HOT place. Namaste.

 yoga

My favorite is resistance/strength/weight training, whatever you call it, (I am that chick in the weight room with the big boys). I love resistance training is all seasons. You can throw on your scarf, hat, coat and gloves and make it to your local gym or you can simply move your furniture around and get busy in the comfort of your own home. Resistance training is so important! It is not just for body builders! It improves muscle strength and tone; it boosts your energy, improves your mood, and increases your self-esteem. I can go on and on about the benefits of strength training but the bottom line is, pick up a pair of dumbbells, a resistance band and a ball and you have a total home gym.

There you have it three things you need to keep you in shape for the fall: Spin for cardio, it builds your endurance and burns fat. Hot Yoga, for your flexibility and focus and resistance training for building your muscle strength and overall total body wellness.

Check out your local fitness centers to find the nearest classes near you and fall into shape with me!

Cut Your Blow Drying Time In Half With The Blo & Go

About 2 years ago while working behind the chair I noticed that my right wrist was feeling extremely weak and in a lot of pain every time I either picked up my shears or my blow dryer. As a professional stylist, my blow dryer tends to be a little heavier than an everyday blow dryer that can be found in your local supermarket. At home I use my lighter weight blow dryer but even that one enflames my wrist. I also do not enjoy doing my own hair. It wasn’t until a few weeks ago a good friend of mine introduced me to a product that made me happy to style my hair again. It is called the Blo & Go! A great product that helps those who are injured or may have arthritis have the freedom and ability to style their own hair again! Check out my how to video below on YouTube and check out www.bloandgo.com for more details and how you can get your very own!

Get Celebrity Shine With A Little Toss

Now that red carpet beauty is right at your fingertips with Gloss & Toss Shine Serum and Fortify Hair and Nail Supplement. Created by celebrity hair stylist Billy Lowe, Gloss & Toss are must have beauty products. Gloss & Toss really shows us that beauty is not only on the outside but starts in the inside as well. All products have NEVER been tested on animals and has received the LEAPING BUNNY certification. This is the highest cruelty-free seal of approval.

When I first received Gloss & Toss I couldn’t wait to try out the shine serum and the supplements. Always having trouble with acne, split ends and splitting nails, the Fortify supplements are what I dove into first. We have all heard the phrase ” you are what you eat” right? Whatever we put into our bodies will eventually make its way on the outside. Fortified with BIOTIN, Ginkgo Biloba and Grape Seed, each tablet is a miracle in a capsule and soon you will start seeing what you eat. (forgot to mention they are also Soy-Free). In the first 3 days I started noticing a difference in my skin, my acne was clearing up, my hair was softer and my nails where no longer breaking every time I touched something. Now that was just the first 3 days, you can imagine my surprise after the first week.

Gloss & Toss Supplement

Gloss & Toss Supplement

With all the excitement from the supplements I had totally forgotten that I also received the Gloss & Toss Shine Serum. This light-weight non greasy formula is not your grandma’s remedy for shine, frizz free, humidity resistant hair. First applying it to wet hair, I blow-dried my hair in no time flat and then proceeded to put more in after flat ironing focusing mostly on my ends which are really dry. It was almost like giving my hair a drink of water. The greatest part of this product is it will not build up on hair and it will last through a couple washes.

No wonder so many celebrities are in love with this product. It is definitely “celebrity shine in a bottle”.

Timing couldn’t have been more perfect for me to become acquainted with Phyto-Ceuticals Skincare ! Phyto-C was introducing their new O-Live Skincare Collection, and I had the opportunity try this 5-product collection of products.

O-Live Mask
$136

SUPERHEAL™ O-Live Mask – This mask applied easily and felt good on my skin. From the information I received with the product, it was nice to know this mask could be used on any skin type. My skin did have a firm feeling after using the mask, and since it stimulates collagen production, is healing , moisturizing, lightening, and an antioxidant, I found using the mask really did give my skin a noticeable dewy, and very even appearance.

Phyto-C SUPERHEAL™ O-Live Serum $130

Phyto-C
SUPERHEAL™ O-Live Serum

SUPERHEAL™ O-live Serum: I used this serum after cleansing or using the O-Live Mask. It’s light weight, not oily, and has a pleasant scent. If you have rosacea, are looking for an anti-fungal, or anti-inflammatory product that also provides antioxidant benefits, you’ll love the multi uses of this serum. It also will help with scar tissue, stretch marks, improve the skin’s texture, and help with firming your skin.

SUPERHEAL™ O-Live Cream: This was the cream I used both AM and PM after cleansing and applying serum. “Repair, Nourishing, and Regenerating the skin” were referenced as some of the benefits you could look forward to when using this product. I was impressed with the results I noticed. It’s a very hydrating cream, but not at all heavy or greasy! It tends to “calm” and help with “skin reactions and itching“. O-Live Cream was very compatible with my occasional skin sensitivities, and its cell regeneration and firming qualities were a real plus.

SUPERHEAL™ O-Live Gel    $125

SUPERHEAL™ O-Live Gel
$125

SUPERHEAL™ O’Live Gel: The O’Live Gel is a “repair and intensive moisture source” for your skin. Add to that, its antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory attributes will “sooth and calm itchy skin, promote wound healing, and help with the rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis symptoms.” . It’s consistency has a more fluid texture I really liked, and is possibly what enables it’s ability to “immediately reinforce natural skin hydration by binding moisture into the skin layers.”

SUPERHEAL™ O-Live Lotion $130

SUPERHEAL™ O-Live Lotion
$130

SUPERHEAL™ O’Live Lotion: O’Live Lotion feels as smooth as silk when it’s applied. This powerful Anti-Inflammatory “reinforces natural skin hydration, has anti-virus properties, and helps reduce redness and psoriasis symptoms.

The Phyto-C O’Live Collection has so much to offer in caring for your skin.“The Olive Leaf Extract has quite an impressive history as it was used “medicinally in ancient Egypt for both internal and external healing!”

I liked every one of the exceptional products in the O’Live Collection and encourage you to spend some time reading about all of the Phyto-C “natural product chemistry skin and health care products” that are available at: http://www.phyto-c.com

A Beginner's Guide to the Glycemic Index

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjyyA5PhZ9M&list=UUI3OMSgbfaDyd1bt_1vqxVQ[/youtube]

The Glycemic Index:

As many of you may know there is a lot of information out there about the Glycemic Index and how it affects blood sugar levels, diabetes, and overall health. During the course of my research, I had the opportunity to speak to expert nutritionist, Karen Cohen, about the GI Index and the importance of eating small meals throughout the day. Maintaining a healthy diet is not only an effective way to maintain your body weight, but it also has positive effects on sleep, critical thinking, and having energy throughout the day. With so much conflicting information out there, eating healthy can sometimes feel quite overwhelming. Essentially, we want to avoid foods that easily convert to sugar. Any simple carbohydrate like donuts, white bread, and desserts generally have a high glycemic index while insoluble fibers and complex carbs generally have a low to mid level glycemic index. I asked Karen to discriminate between good and bad carbohydrates because they are not all created equal! Grains such as quinoa and brown rice slow down the glycemic spike and if you do eat just white rice, make sure to pair it with something high in protein like beans. It is also important that to maintain a balanced, healthy lifestyle, you eat every four hours to prevent your blood sugar level from going down because then you overeat. Whether it’s snacking on nuts, fruit, or a healthy complex grain, always make sure to keep healthy options around the house in between meals.

Healthy snack options:

Whole grain toast with almond butter

Roasted, unsalted cashews, almonds, walnuts, brazil nuts

Fruits with low sugar levels like strawberries, blueberries, plums, and tomatoes

Half an avocado with fresh lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil and salt

Cottage cheese or ricotta

Egg whites

Beauty and Sleep

When it comes to beauty, sometimes it pays to listen to tried and true wisdom. I’m talking about the importance of sleep. I cannot overemphasize the importance of getting a good night’s rest. Even though it may be obvious, many people don’t realize that sleep helps to regulate cellular respiration so that your metabolism is functioning at its maximum potential. Getting a good night’s sleep can help regulate/maintain your weight while keep you looking youthful. When you don’t get enough sleep, it affects hormones that regulate your hunger and appetite, making you more prone to overeating. Therefore, not getting enough sleep can actually make you heavier. Sleep also improves your overall health and emotional stability, giving you the ability and confidence to pursue your fitness goals. This has been scientifically proven. The amount of sleep you need is different depending on each person. This could be between 6 to 9 hours. Also, going to bed early can be a very good thing. so be sure and get an adequate amount of Z’s every single night!donnainbedwithwonderwoman
