American Idol

Okay, so I am deviating slightly from the Health and Fitness theme of my Blog to tell you

about my AWESOME trip to American Idol on Wednesday – because it was so cool! =)

My father-in-law has been friends with Steve Tyler for years and when we heard he was

judging Idol (one of my favorite shows) we naturally asked if there was a chance to go

see it LIVE…

Lose weight without trying!

Who doesn’t like the sound of that?  Well there are many easy and even “sneaky” ways to

burn more calories each day without adding more grueling work outs or things you hate to

do…

Check out these awesome ideas…

By Popular Demand – Juice Recipes

• Buy Organic when possible and leave skin on unless it’s really tough like cantaloupe or pineapple.  I use carrots to push through leafy greens and you can add a squeeze of lemon to any of these to add brightness and increase alkalinity…

Why Juice? Here’s why…

     The first home juice extractor was not invented until the 1930s. It was called the Norwalk Juicer, by nutritionist Dr. Norman Walker. He was 110 years old when he died in 1984. His juicer worked by grating produce, placing the resulting mash in a bag, and then squeezing the bag under a hydraulic press. It was big and clunky, but it made great juice.

We are lucky to have so many amazing counter top machines available today, I just got

this one yesterday and it is seriously awesome!

Juicing helps you Lose Weight, Look Younger and…

WINNING!

Thanks to all of my awesome clients and Facebook friends for playing!

…and the Winners are… **drum roll**… 

Abs by a landslide…says Facebook

that having a flat firm stomach is important to your fitness happiness!

I thought it would be cool to share some of my most effective Ab secrets with you…best

part – no crunches!

So I shot this quick  “ABdomination” video…

All about Fat!

Oh yeah, it’s that dirtiest of “F” words!  Thought I’d take a moment to debunk a few myths for you.

 Cellulite

Medically speaking, there is no such thing as cellulite. It’s a marketing term for plain old pudge that ripples (mostly on the thighs) in varying degrees in 50 to 90 percent of women, regardless of clothing size or fitness level. This clumpy fat results from fat cells stored just under the skin in honeycomb-like structures held in place by bands of connective tissue. The more fat cells stuffed into each honeycomb, the more puckered the texture. Since cellulite is just ordinary body fat, there is no unique low carb diet trick or cellulite treatment to remove it. The bottom line? A calorie-controlled diet that consists of whole, healthy foods plus exercise will help you lose fat throughout your body.

Eating Fat

Fat is the slowest food component to clear the stomach, so for years it was assumed

Luckily I sliced my finger open today.

It does sound strange, but I really could not have picked a better day!  There I was minding my own business washing dishes on a Sunday morn when my digit was attacked by a hostile drinking glass!  It cut me to the bone, I grabbed ahold of the finger quickly and squeezed tight to keep the blood from shooting across the room and yelled out to my wife Nina.  She grabbed the keys and off we went to urgent care…
