Run Day

...Let's get inspired.

Just Once

One of the biggest excuses I hear from people who don’t exercise regularly is that they don’t have enough time.

I truly believe that it is always possible to make time for the things that are most important to your health and happiness.

I know I can spend an hour on Pinterest fantasizing over the perfect ensemble of stacked bracelets, so I definitely have no excuse for not getting a workout in. Even if it's only a 20 minute jog. 

What can you give up to allow more space for your health?

Do you have 12 minutes to spare today?

Cycle through the five exercises below 4 times at 30 seconds each:

1-   High Knees

2-   Floor Touch and Jump

3-   Push ups

4-   Burpees

5-   Side to side bounds (make these short and quick)

After 4 Rounds hold a plank for 2 minutes (drop to your knees at any time if you need to, but then get back into it and power through!)

Stretch. 

Citrus Cleanse

1 Orange 

1 Lemon 

3 Carrots 

1 Stalk of fennel 

1/2 stalk ginger 

1/2 apple 

I don't know about you guys, but I didn't even know what fennel looked like before making this juice. So here is a picture:

Also checked to see what fennel brings to the table and it turns out this is a very healthy vegetable.
Tons of phytonutrients, vitamin C, fiber, folate and potassium make fennel a cancer fighting, antimicrobial, immune system WARRIOR!
I can't believe I am only discovering it now!

Love this!

A new reason to spin...

Whatever is good for the soul...

Do that. 

Beet IT!

I love beets.

The only time I don’t love beets is when I make 1200 mL of Beet Juice and spill it allllll over my kitchen at 5:45 in the morning.... when I have to be out of the house at 6am.

Last Friday morning was like a murder scene  (red EVERYWHERE!), and while it was not the best way to start my day, I got through it and the kitchen is back to being pristine.

In any case, I thought the only thing that will keep me on the beet-wagon after THAT ordeal, is to know how amazingly healthy beets are for me.

Here we go:

• Low in fat and calories and thus easy to add to salads etc without changing the   integrity of the dish
• Can satisfy a sugar craving without harming your body
• Contain sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron and phosphorus- Beets are great to eat after exercise in that they will replenish sodium levels and help muscles heal
• Contain Vitamins A, C and Niacin
• Good source of fiber- protection against colon cancer
• Protect against heart disease
• Protects against liver disease by lessening fatty acids in your liver
• Nitrates in beets help lower blood pressure almost immediately
