Looking for something to do with the surplus of zucchini and tomatoes? Put them to good use in this recipe. Great for a main dish or a colorful side, this recipe is chock-full of vitamins and minerals, fiber, protein, and healthy fat. Feel free to use different vegetables or beans or even add goat cheese or chicken for a more complete meal.
When it comes to nutrition for weight management, feeling satiated is one of the most important tools for long-term success. Oftentimes, people come into my office saying how hungry they feel when they’re trying to make health-conscious food choices. My answer: it’s not just what we eat, but how we combine foods that help us feel satisfied.
Challenge yourself! Let’s challenge ourselves each and every day for one week. For the next seven days take the challenge of the day! We bet you are capable of more than you think.
Take the challenge in the club, at home, at work or wherever you are! Share your success with us- post a video , photo or comment.
Day 1 – take one minute – do as many push-ups as you can do in that minute. For a modification, do the push-ups with your knees on the ground. You can do these anywhere, check out Betty Lou doing them at the Fitness Desk!
Day 2 – hold a plank for 30 seconds – and of course we want GOOD form! Got more in you, try a one minute hold. Here are three intensity levels, plank on stability ball, with one leg lifted or with knees on the ground. How intense will you get?
Day 3 -hop to it – jump rope for one minute. If you don’t have a rope, just pretend you do.
Day 4 – Jump Squats – time one minute and see how many you can do. Need a modification, just do regular squats and use a light ball or even a water bottle as a counter weight for better stability.
Day 5 – Lunges! 30 Seconds on each leg. Do a front lunge right into a reverse lunge on the same leg for 30 seconds, then switch legs.
Day 6 -You’ve got this! high knees for a full minute, really get those knees up high the whole time! Want less impact, take out the bounce and do standing knee raises like Kathy.
Day 7 -It’s the final day, let’s really push ourselves! One minute of as many burpees as you can do. We know you can do it! For a less intense burpee, start in a plank, step or walk your feet in and stand up, repeat.
