Spring Into Action

Spring has sprung Spring is here and let me tell you, I have never appreciated Spring more since I’ve moved from California. It’s time to shake off those Winter blues and spring into action.
Spring comes with cleaning, washing the windows, the walls, cleaning out closets and putting away all those dreadful winter clothes. Did you know you are burning calories while you are doing those things? You are, if you are doing them with gusto! While washing those windows/walls if you are extending those arms all the way up and you are on your tip toes and putting a little elbow grease into it, you are working that upper body. Also, when you come down and add a little squat you are hitting that lower body, a full body workout all while making your house Spring clean!

spring picture NL
Spring time is when you start thinking about, getting ready for your bathing suit. So of course, you start working out and go on that strict diet but there are many other things you can do to get ready for that bikini. Here are a few tips to get you on your way:
Clean out your refrigerator/cupboards, throw away all those goodies that were soothing while being stuck in the house watching TV sitting in front of the fireplace. You don’t need any temptation. Fill your refrigerator with greens, fruits and things that are good for you.
Update your workout wardrobe, get some bright colors, new styles and some new shoes it will give you a little more pep in your step.

Gardening
Enjoy the beautiful weather, get outside. Of course, we think of getting your walk on or taking a jog, but there are other ways to get that heart rate up. Washing your car, cutting the grass, planting in your garden, pulling those weeds are just a few things you can do to burn calories and enjoy the wonderful spring weather.

Family walking Spring Blog
So, just enjoy life and this beautiful spring weather, get outside and play with the kids in the park, walk the dog, join a tennis club, play basketball…you get it, just get out and play. Spring into action and enjoy this beautiful weather.

Foodie or Gym Rat, Which are you?

gym ratThere are two types of people who live a healthy lifestyle: those who rely on their diet and hardly workout (I call them foodies), or those who rely on exercise and watch what they eat…sometimes (gym rat.)
I am truly a person who has to work out, (I guess I’m a gym rat) but I do eat clean and really do pay attention to what I put in my mouth but I must work out! I am so jealous of those skinny chicks who have a turkey sandwich for lunch and a salad for dinner, go to a yoga class and stays a size 2! Whatever, I say to you, whatever! I too will have a turkey sandwich for lunch and a salad for dinner but if I don’t go and run on that elliptical for 45 minutes I will be 5 sizes bigger.

Foodies-Festival-scenes-39 We all heard 80% Diet 20% exercise but is that true? Somewhat, It is more like 80% diet, 10% exercise and 10% genetics (you can’t count out your mother’s hips!) I have very conflicting genetics. I wish I could pick which is more prominent, but hey you have to work with what you got. On my mother’s side big and beautiful; on my father’s size; muscular and lean. I am a combo so I have to watch what I eat to maintain the weight and exercise to maintain my muscle. Solely watching what I eat along does me no good and only working out does not work for me either. Learning your body is type and what works best for you is the key.

The bottom line is I rely on both; eating well and working out. Eating well is very important and exercise is important also. Think of it this way a car needs gas and oil to run, it can’t run strictly on gas without oil nor oil without gas. Your body is a vehicle, so eat well AND workout! Let me know ….. are you a foodie or gym rat?

I’m Sick, do I Workout or Not?

woman runny nose

My mailbox is full of questions on…. “I am sick, can I still work out?” or “I am sick, should I still work out?” or “I am sick, what should I do to work out?” First of all, I want to commend all of you for your dedication to your fitness! So here are a few rules to remember when you are sick.

If you are sick from your neck up, work out.  Chest down and fever, sit down!  So, if you are achy, feeling like you got hit by a Mac truck and feverish your body is fighting an infection and needs it’s rest!!  (Not to mention you are contagious, so rest and let your body recoup).

If you have a headache, cold, runny nose, and that irritating sore throat, suck it up buttercup and get your work out on.  Make sure you wipe down your equipment before and after your workout so you don’t pass on your germs.  An average cold last 7 to 10 days, so you really could get away with just cardio 3 times a week. Keep in mind it really is an old wise tale that you can sweat out a cold. Jump on an elliptical, bike, or even a treadmill – it will keep you moving and keep you “on track” until your cold passes. You can do some resistance training, if you have the energy, but throttle back until your cold passes and then get back to your regular intensity!!!

Bottom line is, yes you can work out if you are sick from the neck up. Do cardio, light weights but most importantly listen to your body, if it needs rest, let it rest!

Relieve Stress and Tension With These Simple Forehead Exercises

Ever wonder why people say “don’t frown, smile”? It has been said that it only takes 13 muscles to smile and 37 to frown. One part of our faces that shows some severe signs of aging is our forehead. Every frown, smile, laugh or form of stress will embed itself causing fine lines and wrinkles. See these forehead exercises that will not only reduce fine lines and wrinkles but will also help ease tension and reduce stress.
