Melons, Mango, Berries, Cherries...Yum!

While taking the month of June for a sugar break, I ate a ton of fruit.   Now that it's July, I've kept the processed sugars down and continue to eat a lot of good seasonal summer fruit.  My current favorites are organic rasberries and cantaloupe.  Both are in season and really tasty.  I know we all recognize that fruit is good for you, but these summer fruits actually provide even more benefits than I thought.  I did a little research on the web and found this short video from ABC News that speaks to the specific benefits of these summer fruits.  ABC News Health Protecting Fruits   Take a look and then go to your local farmers market and stock up on these fruits.  With the warm summer weather, these will be a great midday snack or desert after dinner.  Take care and hope to see you for a workout soon.  No group sessions this week, so I've listed next week's schedule below.

Enjoy the long summer days by getting out to do something you love

One of the benefits of long summer days is that there's ample time to get outdoors for a workout.  One of the best ways to get into your workout outdoors is by doing something you love.  Get out for a long bike ride or walk.  Go to the track for a run instead of the treadmill.  Try an ocean or lake swim.  Pick up a volleyball game or dust off your old tennis racket for a quick game.  Do an outdoor Yoga class.  You'll have fun enjoying the outdoors and also break up the monotony of just doing the same old routine at your gym or studio.   So, don't delay, put on the SPF and get out there!

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