5 Best Aqua Aerobics Exercises

Posted by on Mar 3, 2014 in Fitness | 1 comment

Aqua Aerobics Exercises Trying to pick the best of anything is really a matter of personal preference. But for me, the challenge is really to narrow my favorite aqua aerobics exercises down to just five. While I have so many water exercises I love, if you force me to pick 5 I like the best, here they are: 1) The plank This is the core building exercise every trainer I’ve worked out with includes in the menu. It just really works that well. On land, you get in a pushup position, and sink down to your elbows. Keeping your back straight, you just tuck in your butt, and hold that position for as long as possible. In the water – no, you don’t try to hold your breath and do this at the bottom of the pool. Just get...

Eat Food That Loves You Back!

Posted by on Feb 14, 2014 in Holiday | Comments Off on Eat Food That Loves You Back!

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with health foods that love you back! Valentine’s Day Valentine’s Day shouldn’t be about chocolates and candies. It’s about showing your LOVE for someone, right? In my opinion. junk food just isn’t love. It destroys the immune system and wreaks havoc on your overall health. Again…not love. Years ago, I asked my husband to ditch the cheap chocolates for Valentine’s Day. Instead, my husband treats me with something else. Maybe a new dress or blouse. Perhaps new shoes! Maybe even a manicure and pedicure. Of course, if I am really lucky, I will just get a really sweet card from my husband.

100 Calorie Snacks

Posted by on Feb 6, 2014 in Nutrition, Skinny Tips & Quotes | Comments Off on 100 Calorie Snacks

In recent years, 100 calorie snack packs have become super popular. Everyone wants to eat low calorie foods to lose weight or keep the weight off. The problem? Most – if not all – 100 calorie snack packs aren’t healthy for you…at all. Just because it’s only 100 calories…doesn’t make it healthy! It just means it’s “only” 100 calories of junk food. I suggest choosing to eat more nutrient-dense foods that are low in calories, such as VEGETABLES. Not only will you lose weight, but you’ll feel great. You’ll have more energy and you’re going to feel full. Let’s not forget how miserable it is to eat those 100 calorie snack packs only to still feel hungry (and let’s be honest, how many of us actually just eat ONE of those 100 calorie snack packs?). What’s your favorite go-to...

Are you “Big Boned”?

Posted by on Feb 4, 2014 in Skinny Tips & Quotes, Weight Loss | Comments Off on Are you “Big Boned”?

Big Boned Let me first start out by saying that there are different bone structures and body types – and not everyone was meant to be the same size. Being overweight doesn’t mean you’re not beautiful/handsome. It doesn’t measure your awesome-ness. It doesn’t measure your value and worth. However, your weight can gauge your overall health. If you’re overweight (or underweight!)…love your body now. Love your body as-is. Love your body enough to make positive and healthy changes one day at a time. Feel free to follow Skinny...
