The benefits of healthy eating.

Still struggling to change your eating habits? Take a look at this chart. Believe me, kicking your unhealthy habits maybe hard, but are well worth it.

Smart choices

Just cuz it s a burrito, it doesn’t have to be unhealthy.

I ‘ve been craving chipotle for some time now. While it s not the highest quality food I ‘ll ever have, there are ways to make it a better choice. Skip the sourcream, cheese and guacamole. If you feel you can’t love without them, have them add only a little vs a generous helping. Opt for beans instead of the rice. Much better source of fiber and protein. I picked chicken and loaded it with veggies and lettuce so I d feel fuller. Yes, the sodium is still higher than I d like it to be, but what are you going to do. Make smart choices, be aware of what you’re putting in your body. You ‘ll feel better.

My favorite things part 2

Here’s the second and final round to my favorite things. Hope you’ll find something you like in here too;)

IMPACT BY JILLIAN

http://www.kmart.com/

It’s no secret how much I love Jillian, but regardless this clothing line is a winner. It’s affordable, decent quality and super comfortable. My work clothes are basically training clothes, I need something I can wear all day, comfortably and can also work out in. These breathe well and look great.

POLAR HR MONITORS

http://www.polar.com/

I like to know how well I do during a workout. This guy helps me track my calories, my output, suggest training zones and just keep me on track. IT helps me push to hit certain numbers, keep up with the heart rate, or focus more on either fat burning or fitness. It’s like a workout compass.

AMINO ENERGY BY OPTIMUM NUTRITION

www.optimumnutrition.com

I love to use this for my workouts. Gives me that extra boost to power through. Comes in a variety of flavors. My personal favorite is the grape one.

PLUM CREEK SOAPS

http://www.plumcreeksoaps.com/

I always take natural over chemicals whenever I can. You know you’ll get the best with these guys, all natural, all hand made. They even have a line specifically for the gymrats: the locker room. Check out their new collection Madee’s magic. http://www.madeesmagick.com/

So cute. They make great stocking stuffers.

EBOOST

http://eboost.com/

Eboost is another supplement I love. I love my coffee, but sometimes it’s better to get my boost from a different source. This little power packet will keep you going for hours and helps you replenish your electrolytes. No artificial crap here.

M&L DESIGN

http://mldesignstore.com/

Clothing with a message. All products are hand designed and personalized, very creative and very stylish. Their products range from casual to sportswear. If you need some new swag for the holidays, head on over to their online store.

JILLIAN MICHAELS: BODYSHRED

https://www.getbodyshred.com/

Again, it’s no secret, I love the woman. her workouts and philosophy just really works for me. I love the convenience of the workouts, 30 minutes, no equipment needed and I can go on about my day. This is especially handy when I’m traveling and don’t always have access to a gym. Now her long anticipated Bodyshred program is finally available on DVD. I’m a certified instructor. I love teaching it as well as taking it, because it kicks my A**! I have yet ti get the DVDs, but the trailer looks insane. If you’re ready to take your workout to the next level, get on the Shredwagon.

KETTLEBELL KICKBOXING SERIES

http://www.kettlebellkickboxing.com/

Another workout favorite. I had a chance to train with Dasha for a few months before I left NYC. She’s no joke, and she found a way to merge martial arts with kettlebells. Let me tell you it works your body in a whole new way. She finally rolled out the DVDs so I can train even though I live across the country now. Box sets are also packed with nutritional and health tips, as well as workouts for traveling.

I GOT YOUR BACK REIKI, MASSAGE, SOUND AND AROMATHERAPY

http://www.jendurant.net/

My one and only stop for Reiki and massage. As a trainer, I know how important it is to get them on a regular basis. Jen can work out my kinks like no other.She’s not kidding with that deep tissue. I may yell and curse while I’m on the table, but feel so much better after! And if you’re a bit more spiritually inclined, a Reiki session with her is a most. Very powerful energy, helps me quiet my mind and my worries and keep me balanced.

Before you go to town on candy this Halloween….

So this has been going around, but I love it. As #Halloween rolls in and you grab your #kid as a false pretense to collect some #candy for yourself, just take a peek at this #chart and the #exercise equivalent of each piece. Even worse:picture me standing over your shoulders as you’re burning off your sin of choice. Still want to dive in? Yeah…didn’t think so;)
