Cool Mobile Apps for Health and Fitness

Hello,

There are a lot of cool mobile apps out there that you can use for health and fitness.  I'm an iphone user and use my phone for about 20 different reasons on a daily basis.  I've tried many health and fitness apps too.  Although, I haven't found the perfect one for me.  There are tons out there to try.  See the link below for a list of the Top 20 apps out there.  Top 20 Health & Fitness Apps   Let me know which ones you liked or are already using.

And, don't forget, the emails that you get from me are posted to my blog: http://barbfit.blogspot.com .  If you haven't already subscribed to my blog, here's your chance!  You can see all of my previous posts with tips and links to articles all the way back to when I first started.  In addition my blog has a mobile version so you can easily view my blogposts on your phone.

Reward yourself!

There's no better way to keep up the motivation for your health and fitness goals, then treating yourself to a little reward for your hard work and determination.  Now, that doesn't mean that you should go out and have 5 ice cream sandwiches in one sitting.  However, there are a number of things you can buy or do that can be your reward.

Here's a quick list:

• Treat yourself to nice new workout clothes - if you are starting to slim down a bit, take advantage of showing off the new you.  Insider tip: I heard that new stuff comes in to Lulelemon in El Segundo every Monday.  
• Book that massage that you've been meaning to do.  I just used a massage gift certificate that I've had for months, right after a very long run.  It was the best post-run therapy that I could ask for.
• Take a bubble bath.  A nice long soak in warm water with aromatherapy style bath soap/salts is a nice treat to for a body that has been working hard.
• Plan a mini-spa vacation for yourself or for you and a few friends.  Even just one night (or a several hours) away with pampering as the goal, is a great treat.   Terranea is a great option in the South Bay for a day-spa get away.  

This list can go on-and-on, but I think you get my point.   Bottom line, don't take your small achievements for granted.  If you've been making progress on your goal, recognize it.  If you haven't quite set your plan in motion, then use a reward like the ones above to create some motivation for your goal.  And as always, if you need help towards your goal, come try a workout with me.  ;-)

Have a great week and hope to see you soon!

50 Healthy Snacks

So, I did what I always do this time of the year and I gave up all deserts for LENT.  So no cookies, cake, ice cream etc... until Easter Sunday.   It's a good way to detox from the October-February junk food fest, but of course I want to snack.  So to prevent myself from eating multiple bowls of cereal I've surfed the internet for Healthy Snacks.  Below is a list from Self Magazine that I found.  Let me know which ones you tried and which ones you liked.

A New Kind of Intensive

I've been running a lot of circuit training sessions and I would love to introduce more folks to the benefits of these workouts.  So I wanted to offer a combo Barbfit + Circuit Training Intensive.  The Intensive would run 2 days/week for 3 weeks.   One day would involve Group Core Muscle Conditioning (yoga, dance, pilates inspired core exercises) and the other day would include high intensity Circuit Training utilizing resistance bands, jump ropes, medicine balls and the TRX.  Dates & times TBD depending on schedules. 

Interested??  If so, email me, I just need 4 folks to commit and we can make it happen starting in March.  I'm also open to doing an evening session if that works better for some.  With daylight savings starting this weekend we can probably pull off a few sunset sessions.

Have a great week and hope to see you for a workout soon!
