Resistance Bands, Medicine Balls, and other Fitness Gear

When I first started working out with you all, I scoured my house for every mat, block, resistance band and other gadget that I could find to build out a workout routine that was not just good for you all, but also fun and creative for me to teach.   Since then, I've learned a ton of ways to use all of this workout "stuff" in a way that helps drive real results.  While I know it's not always convenient to join one of my workouts,  I'm sure all of you have fitness gear in your house.  So, take a quick inventory of what you have.  An old jump rope could be dusted off and provide a great cardio workout.  2 to 3lb dumbbells are great for toning your arms.  Even if you find nothing, you can use household items for working out as well.  My favorite is a thin beach towel.  You can use it for stretching as well as toning.  Also, check out this article from Health Magazine The Best Gadgets to Make you Slim to help give you some tips on how to use some of the workout equipment that may already be in your home.

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

350 Calorie Recipes from Health Mag

As I've mentioned before, I'm a fan of food.  I like eating, so I have to come up with creative ways to enjoy eating without adding unnecessary calories.   So, when I have time, I try to find low calorie recipes to try out.  I found these from Health Magazine 350-Calorie Meals and hope to try some of them out soon.  Let me know if you've tried these out before or share some of your own recipes for tasty low-cal meals.

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